Title: Too many racist comments on DV lately.................
Post by: Lise on Jun 20 06 09:14
Unbelievable. Today, I opened the DV website just for a quick peek and am disheartened by the number of threads talking about Asians, East Indians etc etc etc.

  Top of the list this morning was a thread by fred flinstone on '101 ways to r.............e a child'. And you have to wonder why registration is still NOT in effect.

  Brilliant the kinds of ppl that DV attracts.

And for a few days now, the main theme is Asians and Asians and how to either get more, have less of, how to meet, blah blah blah....

  That is why I stay out of DV when I see these topics.  When I feel like it, I would join in.

It gets old fast.  I'd last about 30 seconds in a conversation with those posters before one of two things happened... I would have to stifle the urge to either smack them or fall asleep.

Don't you just wish that you could reach in your computer and just smack them silly?  I just go on DV if I feel like being nasty.

I never went on when I felt like being nasty, but it certainly did bring out that in me once I was there.

  I'm still banned anyway, so stupidity is free of my commentary.

What I meant by being nasty is flaming the trolls.

I know what you mean.

  Sometimes when I'm really in the mood, it's so fun to do.  Especially when they run out of sophmoric insults and switch their nickname to insult you to make it appear that they've got support.

  THAT is funny!  And THAT makes my last post to them the one FTW!!!

I expect to find racist comments on DV - it's one of the reasons that I haven't been there for about three months.

  I was banned from DV.  Probably due to my not sharing Mike's fascist views.

 There is one cure.
Have someone drain your blood completely and replace it with windshield wiper fluid.
Wait 24 hours, drain the wiper fluid and then replace your blood.
You will be dead, of course, but big cures tend to have big side-effects.

I'm glad to see the r...................e topic is gone but I do see a number of stupid ass topics. Ah well.... I shouldn't get miffed, I no longer contribute there. (even though I'm sooo ssooooo tempted to land some really nasty comments).

I don't remember anybody telling me that I was "accidentally banned."  The ban still stands, but it really is for the best, so it is clear that name-jackers aren't me.  Some of the things my handles wrote were not nice.  While much of my handles and wrote might have been offensive to some, I sure didn't write racist stuff, since that's not the way I think.  

  I believe in multiculturalism, and, looking at history, I've noticed that the most prosperous times of ancient Chinese empires such as Tang, ancient Egypt, and western civilizations, have been when they were most multi-cultural, and the most barren and economically deprived times have been when they were most xenophobic.  Cultural intolerance is the realm of dogmatic, mentally inflexible people with seriously atrophied undeveloped areas of intelligence.

  My IP, by the way, would the same one as many others in on of the the most densely populated neighborhoods in North America.

Geesh, I guess that you forgot my posts, huh?  I'm not repeating myself again.  I said what I said.

It doesn't matter so much now anyways.  

  P.S.  I haven't received your movie tickets.  When are you really going to send them?  (http://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/12.gif)

I thought you refused them.  Don't recall any mailing address being sent to me.  Oh, well....

  BTW, Sundance winner "Eve and the Firehorse" can now be rented at Blockbusters.

 In other news, scientists find "water is still wet" and "kittens are still cute".  [img style="font-weight: bold;" src="richedit/smileys/Happy/14.gif[/img]
