Tee hee...My Honey and Joe Kitty

Tanada dumped this in news:lRvmc.6970$8S1.2192
@newsread2.news.atl.earthlink.net on 06 May 2004:

I'm definitely voting NO on the recall - let's not give CA back
to the RepubliKKKans, please.



To give Seanette, and us less outspoken members, the benefit of the
doubt, one could read that as you claiming that all republicans are
members of the KKK.

I've seen posts in other groups refering to white AmeriKKKans so it isn't
always party affiliation to some people.

They're wrong, and probably don't mean all Christians, but it sure
comes across that way.

And that doesn't even begin to compare with the way that many Christians
talk about pagans! Some people (not just Christians, but in the USA, most
of them are) can't tell the difference between a wiccan and a satanist.

Politics and religion are two areas where people have very strong feelings
and opinions.

I don't have any problem
with controversy, so I wouldn't advocate banning those subjects outright.
Nobody wants a flame war, but on this ng, if a discussion starts to turn
ugly, we can always start posting recipes.

Or alternatively, we could set in motion forces that would cause the
fingers of those who make nasty comments to fall off.

Tanada had some very interesting things to say
about Tee hee...My Honey and Joe Kitty:

She did??!! Hey Joyce, I'm a racist too!! Seriously Seanette, I
remember the events at the time, and I don't think Joyce meant it as you
read it. I'm a very strange mix of eclectic republicanism and I didn't
see her post as accusing you of racism. Perhaps, it was a misguided
post, but not meant personally.

As far as I'm concerned, when you apply a label to a group as a whole,
you've just applied that label to each member of said group.

"Gracecat" had some very interesting things
to say about politics and religion:

Too true Pam. For everything opinion, reaction, rant and sentiment expressed
here, the opposite is always present.

And last time I checked, most adults could express their opinions
without stooping to playground namecalling against people who hold
different views.
