    Octavius McFarland threatened to kill me. Does that count?

    Was it at a party?

    No. I am not wasn't that cool. :(

    Lets hear the story!

     

    I used to ref intramural basketball. One night I drew an game where about 14 of the 18 players between the two teams were Husker football players. Joe Walker. Dave Volk. Octavius. Etc. They were all getting a little chirpy during the game - at each other, not at us - and I spent most of the game hoping it didn't go any farther than that because I was not about to try to step in the middle of it to break it up.

     

    But I really didn't think anyone seemed to have that much of a problem with our officiating. Until after the game when I turned around and found McFarland right in my face. He said something to the effect of "If I ever find you outside the rec center, I'll bury you."

     

    So that was fun.

     

    You still in there?

    I love the idea of the convicted person choosing...Life in prison or death. I bet, even if that were an option that we would have total busy bodies that would have to try and fight that.

    Don't mean to derail a thread, but "assisted suicide" would need to be passed first. Many people would go birzerk (sp?) if a convicted murderer had a say in how/when they die and a 70 year old terminally ill person doesn't.

    Good point!

     

     

    ^^^ Has that phrase ever been typed in the Politics and Religion forum before?!?!

    I don't know what the worst part of 2016 has been. The fact that so many good people have passed on or the fact that I have realized so many people are ignorant, racist asshats.

    i think its social media. It has given a highly visible playform for undeserving asshats to voice their extreme, unthoughtful opinions without accountability. Im guilty of it myself at times. I get it. This isnt a high horse almighty talkdowm. And theres guilt on both sides of any argument. Folks are so hellbent on their opinion that they do t care what facts are. Theyre gonna stand by it. Why? Cuz nothing matters on a monitor. Its sad really. Having intellectual convo gets harder everyday. Cuz so many dont wanna think for themselves anymore.

     

    I will plus one u as soon as I'm off mobile. Well said.

    I mean, we're not talking about people being raucous or inappropriate in private conversation. We're talking about people looking at Native Americans as 'prairie n***ers'.*

     

    Everyone does that? We shouldn't have a problem with that view?

     

    (* - the 'to-be-fair' caveat being we don't know if that accurately describes this woman)

    The fact that somebody's first reaction is basically "everyone is like this" is perplexing and a little disheartening. My first thought was "God bless him, his parents were idiots".

     

    Is the bolded, written in this thread considered irony? I'm asking because my parents were "idiots" too.

  6. We don't know have any context but a picture. Giving her the benefit of the doubt that she doesn't think that way someone else texted her that. She didn't respond with anything derogatory as far as I can tell. If someone were to text me calling a group of people name like that I would ignore it while keeping the conversation going. You can't correct or reason with someone who uses that term especially over texting. I don't think its right that she has ended up on the internet over this.

     

    Anyone who says they don't talk like this or has never insulted anyone is full of crap too. You've never said a derogatory word about someone, ever? While you may not have said anything racially motivated you surely have called someone an idiot or a bitch or heaven forbid a retard. It happens we are people and we screw up. Why do we have to be offended by everything. Especially words.
