I purchased and rcvd today the three disc collection starring Jeff Bridges, "Against All Odds/Jagged Edge/Starman (Multi Feature, 3 discs)" One of your favs and one of mine. I also rcvd from Netflix your suggested flick, "Midnight Special". When I will be able to view them is anyone's guess. I've been tied up trying to keep my Brother printer connected to the new Arris dual band router. Worked great with the old router. Now when it goes to sleep the connection is lost, so I have to enter the S.Key each time. Today I have spent 10 hours getting the new phone (rcvd today)up to speed!
I long for the days when we had 3 tv stations (we actually had more and better programming than we do now with all the channels to the nth degree) signal via an outdoor antenna which we had to go outside to turn the mast. "Is it OK now?" "No, still a lot of snow!" "How about now?" "No, you turned it too...wait, you got it! Oh, darn it's all wavy..."
We had landline 📞 phones and communicated by TALKING to the other party...no texts, e-mails, etc. No computers and gaming where our kids disassociated from family and other humans. If we were lucky our kid's noses were buried in textbooks, not mobile phones sending texts! We had one 19" tv in the house (how did we manage to see that thing from across the room?). Today I have seven widescreens. The kids could watch their shows after school (homework finished) up until dinner. After that the kids were the remote controls. Yes, life was simpler and less stressful.
Back I go to the transfer of files from the old to the new phone!
@CactusPants
Suit yourself! Truth hurts....doesn't it? Oh well, I shall not waste any further of my time on you....since I'm now on Ignore.
@CactusPants
Your OP about the article re:"Master Tom's" eatery having a menu item "Uncle Tom's Burger" warranted serious mention, without your histrionics of course. I, as well as others mainly saw one of your never ending rants about racism which resulted in not so serious replies. But, this post of yours is just plain silly! You should have left well enough alone! This has overshadowed your OP.
@Cat,
When "Master Tom's" eatery and the menu fare "Uncle Tom's Burger" are put together, without the hysteria (hissy fit!), as you succinctly did, Cat, one can see the connotation of how they relate to each other. It gave me pause...
@RightBackAtYa
"Bones" "Mayhem on a Cross" Season 4 Ep.20. It's streaming on Netflix.
Yes, I realized it was a news article. But, she was on one of her rants! Every other post is about her seeing racism around every corner and in between! I see people on tv who espouse the same attitudes about their nonsensical dogma. I truly believe they are ashamed of being "white" so they overcompensate in an attempt to make amends for the barbaric history blacks had to endure. No one is taking her seriously. She's become a joke! "Would you eat a racist hamburger?"I believe those are her words.
@Cat,
I do hope all is settled with your dad's estate, the house, etc. I've been through it myself...by myself! Not an easy task.
With that said...here goes for all you Catbookss's stalkers and prevaricators....I think Cat would be an excellent Mod. She is aware of how most of us whom have known her for months, would like to see in a good moderator. Even though she and I have had some harsh disagreements in the past, I believe fair is fair. As I've stated previously, she has an uncanny recall ability. She's well aware so many of us detest the lewd language, the vile names and lies targeting certain folks, the stalking, the trolls, etc. Well, that's my input and I'm sticking to it!
@CactusPants
The only people who mostly use the term "He's an Uncle Tom" are other blacks (race warlords) when referring to a conservative black.
Cactus, you're really hung up on this race thing, aren't you? So, now there's a "racist hamburger"? If there is we best not "top" it with white mayo! You know, white can't be over black!! LOL!
If you happen to be a caucasian, you must really hate being "white"! BTW, what to do with the "The Uncle Toms" in families? If we went along with your way of thinking, those "Uncle Toms" should have a name change!
Why? What have I said or done to you to be ignored? I edited my Ignore list from Ben to BenCaesar...I erred.
Hey Styx,
I like we can MINUS (edited) single posts only, unless the poster is a complete jerk then I could give a rat's patootie if I never see his/her posts again! Hear that BenCaesar (& your other aliases), and Wilson? I'm sure others will land in the Phantom Zone as the need arises. Profanity should be bleeped when posted and also in the quoted replies.
Touché!
@Wilson
You are unequivocally incorrect in stating Catbookss is a troll! She is the farthest thing there is from a troll. I've known her for months. She may be officious, but she is not a troll, stalker or whatever else you deem her to be. She will not sit idly by while you and your cohorts stalk and besmirch her! She will challenge you to provide sources when you post inane remarks. For that she becomes...shudder...a troll? Cease and resist stalking her and all will be well.
On the bottom of the post (the one you wish to Ignore) look over to the right...next to the report flag.
I just now put BenCaesar, who IMO is a stalker, and Wilson, who seems to have fallen in with the former, on Ignore. They have targeted you, cat. Their vile diatribe laced with profanity is unworthy and not needed on a discussion board.
For the Ignore button....I say....THANK YOU JIM!
"noun
1.
a person who believes in racism, the doctrine that one's own racial group is superior or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others."
Read my posts again. A person can be a bigot without being a racist. To that, a racist can also be a bigot.
The bigot may not like blacks, he/she may not like the Irish, Poles, Italians, Chinese, etc. The racist believes his/her race is superior to all others. Hitler was a racist as well as a bigot. Members of the kkk (doesn't deserve uppercase) as a whole are racists, but some are just bigoted. The latter are probably just bigots because they're too stupid to know what the klan really is!
This country's history of slavery (shudder!) was an extreme form of racism. The country's history of the treatment of the Irish, Poles, etc. was bigotry.
I'm unable to reply again as I'm in the shrunken typing field. An iPad adversity.
Racism stands alone from the others as illustrated in my post. The others fall under Bigotry except for dogmatism. Example: you are dogmatic in your belief all actions, whether speech or thought against a person of color is racism when in fact it is BIGOTRY. Case in point: A joke about a Polish man is deemed bigotry. But, the same joke using a person of color is, as you et al believe, the rearing of the ugly head of "Racism". "Resistance is futile"
Best check the semantics of the words cited. They are not all interchangeable.
What is it with these two, BenCaesar & Wilson? They've been raking you over the coals! And, before they doth protest, I call "a spade, a spade"! To the one who is so learned in etymology, he might wish to study the true meaning of racism. What he asserts is racism...is in fact bigotry. A person who may not like blacks is a bigot. But, if that person likes blacks, but believes they are inferior, is not only a bigot, but a racist as well. Nowadays everyone is either a racist or a NAZI if you disagree with the other one's belief, especially if the other one is black. PC run amok! Casual racism, safe zones? We may as well admit Orwell's "1984" is late in arriving....but it has arrived! Free thought? One day something that used to be....
Jim,
I'm using an iPad. The problem I'm having is the shrinking (width wise) typing area during a long thread. I had to cease replying to a recent thread due to only being able to type one or two words per line. Solutions, please.
Edit: I forgot to thank you for your diligent work on this site!
BTW, why is my area to type shrinking in width each time I reply? I'm down to a width of only two words! If this continues, I'll be typing into the air! And into cyber space it goes!
