    Do you ever write something on akaqa and think you’ll be misunderstood?

    I’ve awakened in the middle of the night thinking OMG!  : - O  “The moving finger having writ then moves on”  I quoted that very bad.

    Yes, many times. My friends say to me that i am a talkative, it`s true because i speak and write to much  and sometime i make a lot of mistakes. But sometime i am afraid if i offended anyone, so i try to be careful.

    itsmee

    I like your questions. I like your answers. I think in the future you will either be a teacher or a writer. I know for sure you won’t be teaching Algebra or Statistics.
    For age 14 you keep up with the others on this site. I think if there was a question contest you’d win ... or you’d be in the top 5. Really. (We’ve lost the rest of this conversation.)

    I often do itsmee, it's really about different cultures, sense of humour etc.


    Some times things just get lost in translation.

    "AH DIDNNA" BUT WILL FOLLOW FOLLOW.

    Hmmm...I dont worry about the regulars- I guess I've been here long enough to know that someone will question a response I've made.  I can also tell when a q posed by a regular is serious or just for fun.  I do wonder what newcomers must think when they read some of our threads- we do (I do) have a way of wandering off topic (of course, we know one another so we can spot an inside joke, teasing, etc right away).  I got a very funny response from a reg. yesterday or the day before- seems they forgot I had many animal friends.  All I could do is laugh and laugh.  I think we try to answer newcomer questions seriously (when warrented).  Itsmee you are a true sweetheart- you have nothing to worry about!

    I have to agree.

    Great Answer!!!

    "Oh, good heavens, no!" exclaimed Bob/PKB.  "I'm so articulate and concise, how could anyone misunderstand anything I say or write?  Those people would have to be illiterate!" 

    Of course I worry.  Hopefully I don't offend too often 



    itsmee

    Good, good, good Bob/PKB. This is such a lovely thread. : )

    Yes Itsmee."Nor all thy piety nor all thy wit can lure it back to cancel half a line".LOL.


    The guys here are all pretty flexible.


    It's one thing to say what's on your mind & another thing altogether to write it down.

    itsmee

    I had to read that twice and a half, Tommyh. I understand it now. Truer words have never been writ. Who wrote those lines?
    Tommyh

    Omar Kayam wrote that poem.It's beautiful.
    itsmee

    Thanks Umbriel, It’s interesting about FitzGerald. I owe the library $27.00 and as soon as that fine is cleared up maybe I’ll pick up some poetry books. I used to read it, look up the words, and try to understand. I had a good instructor in a poetry class. He gave me an understanding that has stayed with me through the years. I also went to a workshop for a couple of years. We “wrote” poetry and laughed so hard the house shook. (The workshop was recent.) I would tell you more about this but it would take up too much Bandwidth. (HaHa)

    Yes, sometimes. But I dont loose sleep over it, and you schould not either.

    Ever?  an understatement.

    doolittle

    Huh???? (sorry, I just had too!!)

    I'm afraid I write as I speak, just blurt it out, a few times there have been things I would have changed but it's been too late, some things I find screamingly funny are probably not relevant on reflection or as Romos said are lost in translation 

    Tommyh

    That's because we're Aussies.Nobody undrstands our sense of humour.LOL
    itsmee

    I think you guys are all funny! : D
    doolittle

    Doo loves Aussi humor (sorry, humour) I'll laugh louder next time.

    All of the time, I just keep my fingers crossed and thank God for people like @itsmee.......

    Hypocrite






    (1) A person who engages in the same behaviors he condemns others for.

    (2) A person who professes certain ideals, but fails to live up to them.

    Just in case you needed the definition printed out in black and white. Sometimes you have a hard time with words.

    Where is Denzel????

    Doo; There is no point conversing with a narrow minded racist. One big fat lesson in futility. We don't need to lower ourselves.

    OK....then maybe I'll just watch a Denzel flick. He's one good looking man!!!

    I know. I love him too. Denzel is very classy and intelligent. He works hard and loves his family. He is well respected and extremely talented.

    No, but if what you say doesn't conform to the "life style" and "beliefs" of what others think here, you'll be in deep s*it.

    No, not deep sh*t but people will respond to prejudice when it rears it's ugly head. Notice, I am not alone in standing up to bigotry and prejudice thinking. It's a new world and a new era. Catch up and join 2012. Differences are being embraced rather than shunned now.
    FISH-O

    This is my understanding on how you view things... If you say something then that "OPPINION" (as you spell it) should sit out there in the Universe in it's negative state of affairs without being challenged. If this "OPPINION" (again as you spell it) is met with opposition, you will YELL and SWEAR, take your ball and go home stomping all the way.
    Your world is not a very tolerant one TSC. I feel sorry for you.
    TSC

    I'm a BIG BABY and I'm sitting here WITH MY BALL. (tongue sticking out)

    Am I racist? YES
    Anti GAY? NO

    WHY I'M RACIST: Spent 32 years working at a job where I watched 90% of the black women who worked there have children out of wedlock. Seventy percent of them had multiple kids from different fathers. At that same job I watched lazy black men do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE they could do to do as LITTLE as possible and collect a check. (Post Office).

    Then my sister was raped (NO LIE) in a Newark NJ airport parking lot by........YOU GUESSED IT.......a BLACK low life piece of sh*t that I would kill if he's not dead or in jail already. Spare me the racist lectures, I'm the way I am because I WANT to be the way I am.

    As far a GAYS go? Who cares.

    White people are on welfare popping out babies.
    White people are lazy at their jobs, I know, I use to do their work and mine just to get a day at work ended.
    White men have raped black women.

    You are taking a few and applying what they do (things that even whites are guilty of) and applying these things to a whole culture of people. Not cool and as far as racism, racist comments and yes, even racist pictures used as avatars, they are NOT allowed on akaQA. I've already sent to the admin to have your profile picture removed. Either you remove it or they will.

    ...and yes, you are acting like a child throwing a tantrum because you got called on bigoted thinking and presented no facts for your words.

    I'll change it.

    People are not expected to always be on the same wave length, share the same experiences, life styles, or beliefs.
    I'm frequently offended and put off by your endless snide remarks about people who aren't just like you. It makes it hard to accept you when you aren't berating, like Puss in Boots from Shrek who looked so sweet right before he attacked.
    If you can't say something nice, at least say it with a little bit of tact.
    FISH-O

    First, I am sorry for what happened to yours sister.
    It still does you no good to paint everyone with the same brush.
    I know a white guy who killed his wife with a ball point pen while in a rage. I know a white guy who sold drugs (ectacy) to minors resulting in death... his own eventually. I know a white guy who was busted for the biggest grow-op British Columbia had ever seen at the time. I witnessed a group of white men kicking a man almost to the point of death for no reason what so ever ... I have worked in the inner city areas of two cities and witnessed white people doing very very bad things. Trash comes in all shapes, sizes and colours all around the world. It does the planet not one spit of good by applying more negative energy to the human condition.
    Positive change does not come about with complaining, it comes about with energy placed in the appropriate places.
    Again, I feel very sorry for you. .
    TSC

    Don't feel sorry for me. I'm rather quite comfortable in my white skin.


    Remember Marion Berry? He was a black DC Mayor who got caught in a hotel room with a hooker smoking crack.


    His BLACK constituents later re-elected him


    Remember OJ Simpson? Brutally murdered his wife a her friend Ronald Goldman, but despite all the evidence was acquitted of the charges. Where I worked at the time, an entire cafeteria of BLACK WORKERS erupted in joyous celebration at his acquittal. Disgusted me.


    Remember the Rodney King riots? I watched on TV while a bunch of animals burned down their neighborhoods and pulled an innocent white guy (Reginald Denny) out of his truck cab and damn near beat him to death.


    Remember Hurricane Katrina? The looting , murder and absolute madness of a "particular" race of people when the cops were helpless to do anything? I wonder what those people were going to do with all those sneakers they were stealing from that store?


    Remember Al Sharpton and the Tawana Brawley Case? The fat load of dung did everything thing he could to incite riots and rile the natives and when it was PROVED Tawana Brawley had LIED he never ONCE apologised to prosecutor Stephen Pagonis, a man Tswana and Sharpton destroyed during the fiasco.


    Now we have a HOPE AND CHANGE President who appoints an Attorney General who REFUSES to prosecute the BLACK PANTHER THUGS that were threatening voters during the 2008 presidential election. Why is that? They were on film.


    Why make waves huh. We wouldn't want the poor Black Panther Guys getting angry now would we? Wake up people. Since Obama got in office race relations are 100x worse and not about to get better.


    FACT


    You people KNOW what I'm talking about. You can crawl under a rock and not see it for what it is but I DO. Blacks are more racist then I will EVER BE.


    Open your eyes. I'm not making this stuff up. Google it.

    We are not going to do the back and forth thing here. As many things you can find against black people, the same if not more can be found against white people. Hitler was white. Look at the millions killed by him and his ideals. This is why these kinds of racist comments and discussions are not allowed here. Many are offended by them. This is finished and you will take your racist comments to a forum that is designed for them. akaQA is not the place.

    End of discussion.
    TSC

    Your right. Got a little carried away I guess. I must have forgot to take my meds today. Hate me if you want, I still like you. <3

    I do not hate you TSC. I hate your set in your ways racism. Even if a good portion of my family was not black, I would still take issue with racism.
    Meet part of my family, these are kids that you have painted with your broad brush as people who should be hated. Both my nephews have served time in the military, my niece is joining the Army this fall. They love their country and the people in it. They are the good people you ignore or lump into your race pot.

    TSC, I will not crawl under a rock but, I will take offense to your view points.

    I am thankful to be a Canadian where we celebrate the differences.

    Life continually teaches. We eventually catch on. SOME of us have master's degrees in subjects we NEVER intended to take. Through our experiences, we realize, its okay to make mistakes.

    richardjames, I've removed your comment because you are not a moderator here. A moderator has handled this issue. You do not decide what is allowed here. You do not tell others what they can and can not say here. Again, you are not a moderator. You are a member and a guest here. Go create your own forum if you really feel the need to be in charge of something. Freedom of speech has it's boundaries here and you just crossed one.
    itsmee

    On a hot thread like this I think it's good for each member to at least vote for their attitudes on Black Vs. White. Is richard james on our side or on TSC's side? I don't want to upset anybody here. I would just appreciate clarification.
    Each side has extremely strong feelings toward the other side here.
    btw: I don't want to be a moderator!! : /

    There are no sides. Racism and racist comments are not allowed on akaQA. That is what my moderating was about. I think it's clear enough. No racist comments, pictures, slurs, opinions.

    Do not worry about richardjames. He has been spoken to by a moderator for over stepping his boundaries.
    TSC

    Wow, just got up and see this thread is still a hot item. Lets move on. If I p*ssed some of you off I'm sorry....REALLY. This is who I am. I don't miss a wink of sleep thinking about it either. Ignore me.

    itsmee : D  Thank you.

    This answer is in the wrong place. Someone asked me if the picture is the real me and my thanks was for the lovely comment. The gleam in my eye was from receiving a Christmas present in 2011. : )

    Don't you dare change that picture.

    No.  I feel i'm pretty good at writing what i mean and meaning what i say.  i got it from my dad.
