It’s been over a week so I don’t remember exactly but I believe it was because you used an ethnic slur.

Likely a mis interpretation. Im not ethnic slur motivated. I do pay attention to statistics. And it seems there are numerical bents. But thats not my fault

I looked. You referred to Methican Americans. I do not believe there is a statistical reason for using that slur that will convince me to remove you from moderation.

Methican. Not mexican. Its nothing to do with race. Its a reference to a human of any decent , nationality, race, gender, size, color, religion, shoe size. Region of origen , food preference etc That makes. Meth use a way of life

It is possible that you believe that it only refers to a person’s drug use but…that’s not the reality. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Methican

Well. Thee uh urban dictionary is a wonderful source for me to seek to find out what i mean. Ill use it starting today I do apologize to any meth heads of any national origin. Height, weight, shoe size, Hair color, percieved reality. Either male or female And of course the sinaloa cartel. Which undoubtedly is a richly diverse and culturally accepting organization supporting all our nations drug needs Including but not limited to the marijuana drug trade that was once in the hands of people of this nation who seem to be occupied dying their hair blue , gaging body parts and calling anyone who they disagree with a racist and homophobe and all the other ists and phobes that dont agree with their dysphorias Call me a racist if you must. Call me a red fire truck if that makes you feel better? but by all means silence anyone who disagrees with your views

You are not silenced…yet…but if you keep using terms that mean racist things, then eventually, we’ll have to part ways.

One of the definitions listed on that site is “The politlically correct name for the group of people better known as tweakers
Bobby over there is one of the well known Methican Americans he tweaks 24/7”. Basically that site doesn’t seem be an authority but instead is a list of a bunchnoc random people defining terms.

That site is no exactly an authority. It seems to be a series of comments by random people. One of those defined the words as “The politlically correct name for the group of people better known as tweakers
Bobby over there is one of the well known Methican Americans he tweaks 24/7
by jus_smh August 21, 2017”
Seems slang is a bit slippery.

IDK what the comment was but even if those words had a context to suggest a correlation between Mexican and Meth, it would have to be all Mexicans, not just Mexican cartel dealers. Otherwise your criticism is just wanting a euphemism lest mentioning reality is offensive. Sort of assuming that all girl scouts are sanctimonious immature prudes because someone who was called that was called a girl scout.

So you’re saying that it’s a coincidence that “Methican American” and the commonly used term “Mexican American” happen to rhyme, and that there’s no reason to associate the two mentally? Come freakin’ on.

I didn’t see the remark in question as I said so I don’t know. But leaping to assume the worst- both right and left- is one of the most prominent characteristics of commenters here. It is amazing the rush to do so as if it was a virtue. As Freud put it “Sometime a cigar is only a cigar.” Whatever-that site is not authoritative and sometimes an Italian American is a mafioso. I certainly have never seen the same criticism of “Murican” which is a similar scur only inclusive of contempt for all Americans without any adjective at all.

The left MUST be offended its all they have. Everyone agrees racism is wrong sexism is wrong. Bla. Bla. Bla. So if a liberal can devise a way to accuse you of that they think they win. True or not its the. Go to. Answer if they dont like what you say. Wait til they get what they want. And theres no more sensible people to hear them whine. About how wronged they are. Or worse yet. A chinese soldier who understands reality in control of their existance Oh i kno i kno that will never happen. I mean it never has before in history. Rite ???? After we finish turning our fighting aged men into girls. Another nation wont even need to shoot their way in they can just slap our soldiers down.

To be perfectly clear; you are no Patriot. As for offending people; I cite your posts when I’m illustrating the dystopia and rabid racism prevalent in the north state.
Patriots defend their countrymen.
All of them.

My home is mixed race. You know nothing of who i would or would not defend. Illegals. From any other nation are not my countrymen. However i believe all humans are created equal. Its how they act after birth that determines their status in society. Not their color or place of origin

Im not aware of any rabid racism locally and ive lived in the north state for 58 years. Maybe you should pay attention to who you choose for friends? My friends and family are numerous racial backgrounds. Some of both of the 2 genders. Some religious. Some not some work hard some not so much. MOST. Agree this new snowflake, everybody gets offended is a bunch of crap

I think the County Jail needs to do a better job at those headshots. There’s no way they could use them on LinkedIn. And how are those fellows going to exit their “life of crime” if people only see them as “ruffians” or “hoodlums”?

That’s only half jokingly written. Yes, they made poor choices; but how are they being encouraged to make better ones?

And also, is it the County’s job to help them?

I never got why butterfly knives are illegal, I can open a folder twice as fast and not cut my fingers if I do it wrong. Is it a scary looking assault knife?
