Tell me Accountable. If someone stated that it was their personal opinion that all blacks(African Americans or other term) should be deported from America, should I be respectful of that opinion?

I don't see the parallel. But please, carry on as if you have a point.

Not all opinions are respectable. It's a simple point, don't feign stupidity.

Uh huh. So can I infer that your opinion is that those opinions in your OP are not respectable? :yh_glasse

Adding someones quotes (not using the quote facility) and purposely quoting Shweets grammar/spelling mistakes, strikes me as, at the very least, sarcastic prodding.

Is it really necessary to highlight someones spelling mistakes ? Does it make the OP more superior ?

Actually it serves the purpose to show that I am quoting exactly what was written. Otherwise I'd be accused of altering the post so, yes, it is necessary.

I find it hilarious that my writing style is being considered more controversial than the opinions that prisoners should be executed with AIDS.

That's an unfair and untrue interpretation of what was posted, and you know it.

Alright,I know someone is gonna slam me for this but these inmates are not in there because they stole girl scout cookies.

But is this not a way too thin the heard a little bit.By not handing out condoms(at tax payers expense)perhaps we make room for the ones that escape doing time because of over crowding.

Perhaps this might make prison not such a nice place too be,something too think about when you think of doing a crime.
link

Perhaps you don't go too prison in the first place.
link

I'm with you on this one, Shweet.
link

having worked in corrections in the past, i have to point out that sexual activity is an offense which will get the inmate a disciplinary hearing, perhaps time in ISO. it may not be realistic to think it doesn't happen, but handing out condoms would appear to condone it.
link

Unfortunately, those condoms can be used for other purposes and none of them pleasant.

I agree with Shweet. Sadly though, some of those in there do not chose to have sex. Oh well. . .

I don't think they should give them out.

(At one of the prisons here, if an inmate was caught "showing himself" to a female guard he was forced to wear a pink jumpsuit. I told them they should have put pink flowers on them, too.)
link

Not only are the quotes accurate, they are in the same order of posting and I find them completely in same context as the OP presents them.

So tell us, what makes your "learned" opinion more worthy of respect than mine?

CARLA · Post by **CARLA** » Fri Nov 24, 2006 4:48 pm

Koan can you let us know when you might be wrong, and one of us at FG might be right. For as long as I can remember your opinion is the only one that matters in your eyes. From my vast experience in life I call that being a pompous ass, who does think to much of ones self. But then again you know everything.

Oh !! pompous is spelled correctly.

In this very thread I can be found using the words "I am incorrect"

The problem here seems that some would rather go down in flames before admitting it. Of that I am not guilty.

You really see a polarized inner group that belongs and an outer group who post here but don't? That would explain a lot of the implied attitude of the hunting pack that's been rebuilt in the last few weeks, don't you think?

Hell no spot it mean Koan is a Pompous Ass, just that simple. No group activity here this is my take on it, and no one elses.

Then what did "One of us at FG" mean, Carla? It's your words, not mine. It suggests that koan isn't a part of FG. How else can you read it?

Apparently it would have been more politically correct for me to quote the posts that disturbed me and written "are you ********** crazy???"

I am in no way prepared to accept any part of the opinions expressed by the members that I am criticising without hearing some sort of explanation which fits a definition of sane.

Everyone who pays to come on this forum ,has a ""RIGHT"" to talk about any topic without being scared of being chewed up & spat out & trampled over.

And with respect that is what I see happening here & it always seems to be the one person who thinks they are higher & mightier than the rest they seem to think they know more than any other member on this forum.

I have sat back for ages & watched the same thing happen time & again:-6 :-6

As to whether or not I've ever said another member was right, Diuretic can attest to my having praised his logic numerous times this very day in a thread about legalizing drugs.

It is the opinion of some people that Israel should be wiped off the map. It is the opinion of some people that the only good Arab is a dead Arab. There are just some opinions that don't deserve respect. I stand by that statement.

GET IT ?????

Get this. I am a writer. It is the proper format to include spelling errors in quotes with the notation [sic]. The OP was written as a mock newspaper article in which the regulation of standard writing form apply.

How can any rational person think otherwise? "Everyones opinion is worth some respect"? I do hope not. I'd even go so far as to say bullshit.

Get this we are all adults you don't need to point out our spelling error little miss, It is an insult period. Stop doing it miss writer and you might get on better with people. You see in my 59 years on this planet I have learned several good lesson in life and one of the is "No one likes a smartass" ever. Especially when there words are done with the intent to insult.

I am sorry guys/gals.I had too go work out.

I can't believe how far this has gone,I thought by now we would get sick of spatting about this.

Although I will never retract what i said,I am glad that most of you here understand what i meant,and the others at least have some respect for me as i would you.

But i come back too a discussion of my spelling and grammar.

I would think that my having dyslexia would play a big part in that as well as the fact that i can't type worth a crap because i see them different than you.But then again I see alot of things different than anyone.Makes me unique.

Also the fact that i was treated like a special ed child in school made me very hard shelled.Thats why i can have these threads and hang in with out blowing my top and get petty.

But it's time too let this go,Fun is fun,but nothing is gonna change any body's way of thinking.We are soon too hit a stale mate.
