You are absolutely correct, those things aren't funny.

Umm... ok? I don't even understand what you disagree with me about, if you actually disagree with what I wrote. You know what, DON'T ATTEMPT TO CLARIFY- you are so right- I am wrong, stupid, funny in the bad way, whatever you want, you win! **White flag raised**

I am so &$!@#$% sick of people who will just demean others without addressing their point AT ALL. You win! I'm terrible! It's a miracle someone as stupid as me can type! Let's move on now.

To be honest none of us have access to each other's IP address and even if we did only the ISP knows where those addresses are located.

But I definitely understand where you are coming from.

Okay, no attempt to clarify then if that's what you wish. I will instead tell you what I think

That your completely valid and insightful point could be better served in say the General MD forum. Maybe titled something like "The State of MD MentalHealth Care".

That watching threads derail on this board is funny in the way that it's funny to watch a dog watch his tennis ball fly over the fence. Its sad, but one can't help but laugh a little.

That all those horrible things about you that I'm supposedly "right about" were said by you, yourself. Not me.

Peace

So the guy who wrote a rather odd magnum opus about his upbringing, black people safaris, and the origins of his political views wasn't derailing the thread, but my response to him was? Uhh... ok? I guess that's funny? Or something? Very strange.

I wasn't trying to launch into a discussion of Maryland health care at all, what I was trying to note to the poster I was responding to was that he saw a problem on the streets (mentally ill black people walking around) and classified it in his mind as a "black" problem, when it may have just been a health policy problem (there are mentally ill white people walking around talking to themselves in the downtown of the little town where my parents live). Severely mentally ill people generally have a hard time driving, so they're probably going to concentrate in downtown areas where they have easiest access to food and shelter. This is why half the threads on this board turn into a race discussion, because a lot of people on these boards feel some of these issues have something to do with a minority group's moral failure. My view is that they are generally just public policy failures. I was just trying to offer an alternative explanation.

So... NOW I have sort of derailed this thread whose topic is about how this entire board has been derailed. Very meta.

If I see my own race in a particular statistic (good or bad), I would much prefer to have a rational discussion about it. Every group has their own set of problems. However, I'd like to know what the OP means by racial.

How many times do I have to post before you people get it?

Let me put this in as simple terms as I can.

I don't care how any other races/religions want to live their lives.

I have no interest, therefore you can do as you please as long as you don't start jigglin' my world.

I don't hate anybody.

I like my racist world because there is no conflict.

I really have to laugh at the person who brought up IP addresses.

They seem to think someone like me cares if the world knows who I "really" am.

Now, get ready for this revelation.

I am even more evil than you could have ever imagined.

Even God does not exist in my world.

Yes, I'm going straight down there which would actually be welcome since it's -10F at the moment.

Try my way and set your mind free at last.
