I thought I was suppose to moderate fishing stories not posts straddling ethinic beliefs, racial comments or looking at a coon and a dog making out
Based off the posts lately the full moon and August heat has everyone in need of a sample pack of Prozac or Cialis, their choice

Rooney probably never said any of it:

How dare you post an adverse view to a bunch of racist ramblings true or false you must be stupid or a commie.
Especially after it got high fives from four or five members.
Reminds me of a thread we had a couple of weeks ago.
I read the thread on snopes I wonder is it possible that it is untrue?
I also viewed the clip the other day about immigration statistics I found it interesting and frightening.
I won't bore any of you with any more of my feelings on prejudice they were not appreciated much the first time.
I will say this the more we do this the more I like my dog.
BTW, if Andy didn't say it, maybe somebody should. There an awful lot a of people in this country that sit back and deal with whatever gets handed to them and stand up to fight for their beliefs, because someone might get offended. This is the quiet majority, this is how most of them feel. The problem is that the few are pushing the majority into submission. This a goverment of representive democracy, the few represent the majority but they pander to the loud minority.
I guess you may be a tad desensitized 1/2 of this is about nothing but racism.
Read it one more time. I don't care who said it.
I also know that you can say something that may or may not be true that doesn't make it right.
It also doesn't matter if it is popular that doesn't make it right.
It was popular to kill Indians, lynch Blacks, kill Jews was it right?
People feel it's ok to beat queers is that right?
In some countries they can kill you for being a Christian and it is popular and accepted.
When in high school we beat up a kid cause he got saved and didn't want to party anymore.
When in Montana we killed stray dogs and was paid a bounty per tail.
While in the Marine Corps we would beat your azzzz if you showed up in our bar and were in another branch of the military. Often we would go to the other branches bar and pick a fight for fun.
While in the Corps on a rapid deployment aboard ship two men were found having sex gather and thrown overboard and never seen again.
At the time this took place I was of the opinion that what was done was right good and appropriate, I wouldn't want to have to depend on them in combat.
During the Korean war I know a man that would shoot people as they were trying to surrender he was mad because of the abuse his fellow soldiers endured that were captured.
During the Spanish Inquisition people were killed if they were not Catholic it was accepted behavior did that make it right?
The apostle Paul killed the Christians and thought he was doing a job for God and country.
Right is subjective, based on past experiences and more often than not swayed by popular opinion of those around us and or our family of origin.
Yesterday it was taboo today it is normal what the heck will they be doing tomorrow?
