The Big Cat Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 How in the world would you know if my experiences are the same as what happens today? You weren't there. Also, I never claimed to have any authority, it's you who implied that you have it, and are now nearly directly stating that you in fact have the authority to see things through mine, searching to find "my perspective" in order that you could be dismissive of it. You don't read good. May be I'll be back here again in a year or so. Hopefully my city isn't a nuclear wasteland by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I read quite well, you dope. And that's exactly what you did. If this is going to be illustrative of what your future contributions would have been, then good riddance.

Big Cat ----- nice guy does social work Tytt. ----- grew up po. I don't claim to know "black people", as "black people" are not a monolith. What I do know is the climate, choices, and culture which shape the reality of the lives of most black Americans because I grew up in it. I take it a step further: I don't give a !@#$ about black people. Or white people. Or Asians. Or Hispanics. I only care about individuals.

IDBillzFan Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Interesting read from USA Today. Women's March on Washington Honors Soviet Tool The Washington Post article on the Women’s March speakers identified Davis as a “civil rights era icon.” In fact, while Davis participated in civil rights activism as a teenager in her native Birmingham, Alabama, she spent the peak years of the movement studying philosophy in Europe; she did not become an icon until 1970, as a famous fugitive accused of aiding a courthouse escape attempt in which a judge was shot dead and a juror and a prosecutor were wounded. Davis, by then a University of California professor, a Black Panther militant, and a hardcore Marxist-Leninist, was eventually acquitted by a handpicked politically sympathetic jury despite evidence that the weapons used in the incident were registered in her name. In subsequent years, she was an active supporter of the radical Jonestown commune in Guyana, which ended in murder and mass suicide. But whatever one thinks of Davis’s domestic militancy, her true claim to infamy is her career as an apologist for repressive communist regimes. During her 18 months in jail, Davis became a heroine across the Soviet bloc; for communist states frequently criticized for imprisoning dissidents, a perceived “political prisoner” in the United States was a godsend. After her release, Davis was feted in East Germany (a 1972 photo shows her shaking hands with then-General Secretary Erich Honecker, whose orders to shoot people trying to escape the socialist paradise by crossing the border into West Germany resulted in over 1,000 deaths), in Cuba, and in the Soviet Union, where she was awarded the Lenin Peace Prize in 1979, just months before the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. It takes some cheek to mount a protest against Trump with a speaker who was twice honored by Leonid Brezhnev's Soviet Union. Like I said...no matter what happened in that March, once it's done, it will be taken over by people who will ruin it's intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Yes you do but that's better than living among the liberal dispicables. I know what you mean! I live in such a flat land enviro that the closest & only traditional (doing stuff like binding cants, boot alignments, etc...) ski shop to me is 40 miles away in Hinsdale, Illinois. I will tell you this, walking those mean streets is rough! Even rougher going into the Starbucks... The North Face/Patagonia wearing crowd can really get insufferable! ;-) Hinsdale= 90/1/3/6, White/AA/Latino/Asian, Median Family=$170k It's rough being around those lily white libs!

You must be near Bourbonnais. India Indian. What is this fee for ? Why am I paying for that ? Can you take half off ? People that exhibit that stereotype are the easiest to negotiate with. Simply take your product or service off the table if they won't pay your price. Hold your ground don't move an inch. As long as you're willing to walk away from the deal they cave every time.
