I just got vaccinated yesterday and so far it hasn’t affected me yet in any way (crossed fingers).

I’m so glad you did. If it’s Pfizer or Moderna, it’s the second one you feel, but some people (moi) not as bad as others (my husband). About 24 hours later, I had some joint and muscle aches, with swollen glands under the arm that g…[Read more]

@mitch70 for someone who says diversity doesn’t work, he certainly has a diverse family. It must be working in your family, just as it has in mine.

and you could easily be doing the same and not realize it. Telling someone that they’re doing it, is vastly different than explaining HOW they are doing it.  @mitch70

When I warn you about violating CFI rules, that’s what I’m doing. The rules here are designed for reasonable scientific inquiry. You operate somewhere near the edge of that, mostly…[Read more]

@mitch70 Maybe we are trying too hard at being diverse. Sometimes if you try too hard, it can be just as bad as not trying at all. “Boiling pot”? Don’t you mean “melting pot”? It may have been, but we were segregated to the extreme. I really don’t feel it is a crematorium for white people on either side, but then again, I’m a mix of European…[Read more]

The last greatest country to have ever existed will die by Tribalism. It’s a sad end to an otherwise great nation.

A great nation? I don’t think the U.S. has ever been great and depending on who you talk to, you’d hear the same answer. My husband doesn’t think it’s ever been great. Native Americans and Black people, most if not a v…[Read more]

Both sides of the fence are screwed up because both groups love to mock others, just in their own way. Why can’t a person just enjoy the moment of something meaningful without having some asshole hissing or ridiculing them for acting in a way that THEY find unacceptable? As much as I rant about transgenders I’ve never said that I dis…

“Wade in the Water”

I’ve never heard of it. So is he claiming that this is his source for believing that all white people thought that slaves were happy?

No, that was not a “happy slave” song. It’s an old negro spiritual song, but not about baptism. It was enough to confuse the massa though. Many had to wade into the water in order…[Read more]

What I see is her being comfortable with who she is, not feeling that she has to conform herself to any sociological presumption of who she should be

Thank you and I do feel comfortable and I don’t conform.

58? Seriously? How? OK now I really don’t get any of this.

Mriana has every right to express herself without…

@mitch70, you are twisting words and ranting. It really messes up a thread and makes others work to untwist you

I see this happen all the time between people’s posts, and yes it happens to me also. Even you’ve done it to me in the past focusing many times on one small section of what I wrote only to ignore the entirety of what my points had been.…[Read more]

@mitch70

I don’t blame Malcolm X for his hatred of white people. His world was shit compared to what we have today. You get what you give in this lifetime and I’m sure most of what he got from white people was hate.

Quite true.

Other than pulling it out of his assumptions I see no evidence to support his claim.

Yeah, because the song “Wade in…[Read more]

@mitch70

only white people can be racist.

That’s not true. There are Black people who are racist against white people. Malcolm X wasn’t exactly white people friendly.

@write4u

Slaves were happy people is the new motto.

Um… no they weren’t. Why do you think there was an underground railroad and slaves running away all the time? No human…[Read more]

@mitch70 It’s either a case of “loving pain/glutton for punishment” or “not for sissies” or real determination to be something they were not born as. Whatever the case, it can’t be undone once done.

BTW You owe me a new monitor.

lol Gotcha good huh? New monitor coming soon. In the meantime, try some Windex sprayed on a cloth and wipe the…[Read more]

You’re welcome, @mitch70. As long as they aren’t hurting anyone and they are happy, is very much how I feel about it. As for if your son decided he were gay, he and his husband could adopt children and then you’d be a grandfather. So it’s not an all or nothing deal, although i do understand that there’s nothing like blood grandchildren.

@mitch70 I do not know enough about it to support or not support it. The only thing I know about it is what I’ve heard here on CFI. I’m more concerned about kids returning to school unvaccinated and unmask. We have stupid parents in Missouri who won’t get vaccinated [against COVID-19], won’t vaccinated their kids, and won’t wear a mask or make…[Read more]

@Mitch70, I’m not going to quote anything from posts because 90% are rules violations. You are just stringing insults together for most of them with no substance. As the dude says, “yeah, like, that’s your opinion man”. I don’t know why you would feel it’s necessary to tell us these thoughts since your thoughts are that we don’t care what you…[Read more]

Have you read CFI’s Mission Statement ?  If not, I recommend you do, as it spells out what the forum is about and the principles on which it is founded..

Our Mission

@mitch70 Lausten hasn’t been a mod for several years. He started, at most maybe 2 years ago. I know this because I’m the mod who suggested he be a mod after the other mods left. I believed and still do believe, that Lausten has good qualities to be a mod. IMHO he does a good job of it and I’m getting the message that I made a good choice in a…[Read more]

@mitch70

This was a forum my dad use to moderate on. It use to be more of a place where people could disagree yet exchange ideas in hopes to get a better perspective from the opposing party. I personally like being proven wrong. People who want the “win” in all their debates won’t get this but for me it’s about learning something new. I always…

Doug leaves and not much long after things fall apart here.

We can’t hang on to people we have grown to love. You pine for Doug and I pine for Ken, the postman who didn’t just bring me letters and packages but was also a friend I could talk to. Ken never delivered a letter that was not meant for my address or consistently stuff mail meant…[Read more]
