Current mood:

Dramatic

I was dared to post it.
The title from the thread in my lj is, Negros and Gays and Goat Fucking Meanieheads -- Oh MY!

It all started with the following post on the Argument Forum of Practical Pet Care:

I am ashamed of this country. Here we claim to be "free" an yet we are limiting rights for people every day. If the law to ban gay marraige passes, i swear i will pull one of those "blow up the govt building" stunts like that dude in texas in 1995. (ok maybe not that far) is anyone with me on this one?
*****

That's not so bad, really.
Poorly worded, perhaps, but the poster is 14 and based on what I've seen from their other posts on the site, they're also a bit of a spaz.

Quite a few people (mostly white, none of African descent that I know of) took serious offense to the use of the word "negro".

Bits of some of the best replies are below. There were a few sane replies, but most of it was just a hilarious read.

Did you just use the word "negros"?

I doubt the gay marriage issue is the only thing you need to worry about.

"Negros"????? WTF is wrong with you?

And if you think that bombing a Federal building "stunt" like the Murrah Federal Building in 1995 (in Denver FYI) is an appropriate reaction to a gay marriage ban, you are seriously whacked.

Anyone "with" you??? My God, that's definately company we need to avoid.

It might be offensive to African American Users on this website to use the word "NEGRO". That was totally out of line! What the heck are you doing anyway Jordan?! Maybe stick to" Animal rights issues". Let gay persons work out their own issues. They don't need your help.
***********************

Then Synecdote comes in with a long winded religious based reason as to why gay marriage is wrong. It's rather well written, but has quite a few logical holes in it.
In it, Synecdote likens letting homosexuals marry to goat fucking being okay.
I immediately thought of Albus Dumbledore's brother.
A few responded telling him that he was wrong, nothing overly amusing.

Then SmoochiePooch come back to respond to the nay-sayers above:

oh my goodness...deep breath...

1) I DO NOT, HAVE NOT, AND WILL NEVER HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST PEOPLE OF A DIFFERENT RACE THAN ME.

2) I used the word I did to make a point, but I do realize now that I shouldn't have used it at all.

3) I am extremely sorry if I offended anyone by the earlier post, because that was truly not my intention.

4) Hedgemom...wtf is wrong with YOU? I was exagerating about bombing and I said so in the post! That part I will not apologize for. I am 14 and even if I truly wanted to (which i DONT) I couldnt even get my hands on the stuff I would need to pull that off. You really need to think before you judge people that quickly.

5) Lilman- if I am sooo evil for writing that word in my post, then why didnt you mention it in your earlier response to my post? I find it interesting that you only started disagreeing with me (or expressing it at least), when you noticed that the other admin, mods & experts were argueing with me. Give me a break! You're supposed to be my friend...but instead you go kissing up to the mods...Now I'm not saying we shouldn't disagree on anything, but come on! Ive already got enough people on my back. And by the way if i "just let the homosexuals fight for themselves"
it wouldn't get anywhere. The issue is about acceptance of others differences, no matter what.

6) Thank you, Miss Teacher!! Finally someone who doesn't over-analize my posts! And I agree with everything you said in response to Synecdote's post.

Once again, if I offended anyone on this site I am really, REALLY, sorry, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart!!!!

Moving on cattledogluver91, who's been a bane of the PPC Cat Forum, Dog Forum, and who has been featured on stupidpetowners several times, has had it, and she tells us so in a very amusing rant.

I have had it with this site! I don't why all you people are against me. What did I ever do to you?!! You don't even know me. I think you are treating me unfair. A lot of people think so too! All I do is answer questions. I get F's and D's for no reason. Squish, you are SO wrong in telling me I like to see my own posts. I came to this website to have fun and answer needy people's questions. I DO NOT come here to have friends! I really don't care if you like me or not!!!!! Oh yeahh! and catfoster04, how dare you call me BS!!!!!!!! I am glad I got that out of my system. Go ahead and gossip about me, I know that's wat you will do. I am NOT PARANOID AND IGNORRANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Personally, I think cattledogluver91 is a troll.
Amusing nonetheless.
