And that is a good thing. It means that we can agree to disagree and still remain civil and courteous.Originally Posted by lizbud
I do appreciate that.
If I said that I was entitled to my opinion because I was a 'wise Latino male' and can come up with better opinions because of my life experiences, I hope you would give me a hearty "Heigh ho Silver-god, are you full of crap!"
Why?
To believe that my "background" makes me smarter or more 'able' to figure things out-did I mention my gender?-is way too phony and elevates my sorry arse above and beyond any real life experiences I have had.
Can we play a really dishonest game?
Because you do not agree with my statements I am going to pick a part of my statement and say that you....
Don't like sailors.
Don't like white sailors.
Don't like men/teens.
That is patently untrue! Unless, I have you on tape saying that do indeed hate seafaring folks!
Having people yell racial slurs at you, threatening you with bodily harm and other crap to get an education is different that wanking your way thru a cordon of arse kissing politicians is a stretch of reality.
I have had some experiences with people being 'racially insensitive'-it hasn't made me any smarter. It just reminds me how stupid people are and how stupid I would be if I walked around telling people that my heritage and testicular fortitude make me a better person that anyone else.
It would not fly for me, so why should I be star struck by some judge that wants to be a bigger judge.
If I said you misread my comments, that would be a slap in your face.
So, why should I take that from a "wise Latina woman"?
She said, she should own it.
P.S. Everyone lies during a job interview.
