Jeff, Um, how was I stereotyping? I was discussing their beliefs. And, no you have it totally incorrect. I did NOT claim to know more about Mormonsim than an actual Mormon. In fact, I said the opposite. I said it was obvious that a Mormon would know more about their religion. Is "veghead" really that hard to figure out? Communist, Liberal, what's the difference? (tongue-in-cheek) Besides, I was just giving you an example of what you sounded like. You misunderstood what I meant. I meant that having a problem with the ideology of "skinheads", and pointing that out, is much different than calling a bunch of people slack jawed yokels. That was my point exactly. You "preach" a lot on this board. I just found what you posted originally in this thread to be ironic and hypocritical. ------------------ rimbaud, I know I have made fun of people. But, when you pull a stunt like Jimmy Swaggart, it just magnifies the hypocracy. I'm not saying Jeff is just like Swaggart (who I thought was a great preacher), nor am I saying making fun of hicks is like sleeping with a hooker. I'm just comparing the two situations as to their common hypocracy. It's like with my Mom. She is always quoting the Bible, and reading all this Christian literature, which is great. But, since she is so vocal about Christianity to myself and my siblings, it makes it exponentially sensitive to us when she cusses or goes off on a tirade. I always want to ask her if a Christian would really act that way. So, Jeff, would a liberal really act that way? ------------------ My Rocket Page

I have yet to read a "preachy" post by Jeff. Oh, and I know I wasn't there, but it seems as if Jeff's post doesn't do service to how bad this experience truly was. ------------------ snap crackle pop [This message has been edited by CriscoKidd (edited January 21, 2001).]

What, you mean be hypocritical or making fun of people? My bad. I forgot that that was reserved for conservatives. As for hypocracy, if that's what this is, a good Christian wouldn't go around pointing out the faults of others, or would he? Assuming you are a good Christian, I guess he would. You see how round and round this goes? FINE!!! I promise never EVER to attempt humor again. I promise only to be stoic, fair and never again poke fun at anyone for any reason. My the good Lord smite me and all those who have laughed with me. I was wrong, oh, so very very wrong. Make love, not war. Have a flower. Peace, man. All you need is love. ------------------ May all the love in the world be with you and everyone you care about and even people I don't really like because I will NOT be a hypocrite.
Jeff, the scooter incident was hysterical. ------------------ Ceo of the Walt Williams fan club. Web site coming soon atheistalliance.org
Been there, done that. And Jeff, since I am neither a veghead or a hippie tree hugger, I can say that I thought your post was humorous look at the world of gun shows. Re-affirms my belief that will never be caught dead in one (although it sounds like dying at one would be easy to accomplish). ------------------ Behad Sergeant at Arms of the Clutch BBS Asking the question: What is more dangerous, an AK-47 or a scooter?

You really are amazing, DREAMer, the way you can compare Swaggart and Jeff in the same sentence to illustrate hypocricy. Lets see...Swaggart: "Sex is bad - no sex outside of marriage and even then you cannot enjoy it - SIN!" Truth: Likes hookers, is a naughty boy. Jeff: "Help homeless people, love animals, don't kill, keep the Rockets in Houston, racism is bad..." Truth: Made a joke about rednecks and skinheads (while excluding hunters/sportsmen which "he has no problems with."). Gee, it really is the same! I know that Jeff used to always tell people that they are evil if they make fun of racists, skinheads, and a Simpson's cartoon character look-alikes. Bravo! No wonder you could convert Clutch away from his non-Christian Christian religion. You showed him that the true Christ was the one Paul was talking about - the one through which the entire universe was created. Oops, you were talking about the one that the Church established ~200 years after Paul. Oh yeah, you're not Catholic, either. Admit it, you were just picking a fight. ------------------ EZLN [This message has been edited by rimbaud (edited January 21, 2001).]
rimbaud, I love your "I know all" condescending BKesque attacks, they humor me, especially the sarcasm part. "Racism" and "bigotry", what's the difference? Well, racial bigotry and racism have no difference. What Jeff was doing was showing his bigotry for rednecks, or whatever you want to call them. So, in effect if Jeff is saying that it is okay to stereotype rednecks, then it's alright for someone else to stereotype blacks and other racial, ethnic, or religious groups. If you agree with that, then that's your opinion. I'm not perfect. Many of you guys in here have a good ole' time pointing out my faults. But, when I try to shed some light on Jeff's own bigoted attack, I still get the bad end of the stick. I mean, sheesh, who does Jeff get along with? He doens't like rednecks and he doesn't like luxury car owners. I'm sure if I dug up enough posts, I could find more. But, that's not the point of my post. The truth is, I don't like "rednecks". I don't like country music. I don't like going to small country towns. Why? Because, through my own personal experiences, I run into more racist bastards that way. And, I don't want to spend my whole life in and out of jail from beating the **** out of racists rednecks. I've been to Uvalde, I've been through Leakey, TX., I've been down the Guadalupe. There are good people everywhere. But, I do remember the time my wife and I stopped at a Dairy Queen in Vidor..... We didn't exactly have an enjoyable experience. So, I'm not trying to defend any specific person at that stupid gun show. I've never even been to a gun show (that I can remember). I'm not even seriously upset with Jeff's post. I just wanted Jeff to see that by doing what he did, he's condoning any sort of bigotry. THE END. --------------------- TheFreak, Man, why'd you tuck your tail and run. You'd better be loading one of your AK's or something. I'm taking a friggin' beating. ------------------ My Rocket Page
I mean, sheesh, who does Jeff get along with? He doens't like rednecks and he doesn't like luxury car owners. I'm sure if I dug up enough posts, I could find more. Good luck. I never said I didn't like luxury car owners. Nice attempt to twist my words. I have family who both live in Uvalde (my aunt owns the only flower shop and my uncle is the ad exec for the paper) AND drive luxury cars. The thread of which you speak was me complaining about a specific group of people who obviously had the ability to help people but chose not to. I was frustrated with people's lack of concern for others. This post was a J-O-K-E. It had nothing to do with who I like or dislike. I have plenty of family and acquaintences who could easily be called rednecks but I still like them. I was trying to...oh, nevermind. I'm not even seriously upset with Jeff's post. I just wanted Jeff to see that by doing what he did, he's condoning any sort of bigotry. I don't need, nor do I deserve a lecture from you on hypocracy, bigotry or irony. I'm fully aware of all of them and, amazing as it may seem, I recognize my own inadequacies and one of them is being judgemental from time to time. But, I can say with certainty that, judging by your posts about me, it obviously takes one to know one. ------------------ Me fail English? That's unpossible.
Layoff of Jeff, I bet you that some-if not most-of the people there were hilbillies, skinheads, and just crazy people along with some semi-normal people. Admit it, you would have to be a little bit crazy to go to a gun show in the first place. Think about it, anyone can just go into a place and have their pick of 1000's of guns. I'm not sure Jeff thought the gun show out too much, did you? Because if I were selling valuable items I would prefer the person on the other side of the counter wasn't packing. ------------------ Cuttino Mobley Online
Jeff, enjoyed your story and can relate. Way back in Grad School I DJ'd a heavy metal party in Lubbock. I cannot stand heavy metal - thought I would lose my mind and wondered how in the h*ll I ended up there. Kinda twilight-zonish, eh? Sorry about the ferret, too. DREAMer, I understand your goal of PC-ness, but maybe you should start with Saturday Night Live...they have a few more transgressions than Mr. Jeff. ------------------ Cohen

Let's start over and look at my original post and see where I went wrong.... An honest question wrapped in 'typical' slanderous names for a person with many of Jeff's traits. 1.) The question was serious. 2.) I used the name calling to stress what I found offensive in your "story". Here I'm trying to say that anyone can think anything they want to. Mind control is not my goal. Now, this is the problem I have with most racists. I don't give a rat's ass if a person is a racist. As I stated above, people have the right to think whatever they want to think. But, when someone lets me know they are a racist by what they say, then it affects me, and not in a positive way. I don't have a problem with anyone making fun of skinheads, heck I'll join in depending on the situation. But, that's because I would be criticizing their racist beliefs. Now, mean-spirited derogatory "J-O-K-E-S" really aren't very funny. I was seriously irritated by the continuous degrading of the "yokels" in your post. And, I don't think I should be jumped on for expressing that. Okay, a little much? Maybe. But, it was the first thing that popped into my head. I didn't sit here and type up an outline, and three or four rough drafts, you know. I still say the analogy is a good one. Because tomorrow you'll probably post something about people not doing "enough for each other" blah, blah, blah... but, this recollection of your trip to the gun show will be engrained in my head. Hey, if I'm being an ass (and I have a tendency to do so), call me on it. Because, if someone else if being an ass, I'm gonna call them on it, for sure. ---------------------- rimbaud, You will not be known as "The Great Diffusor". I think you contributed to Jeff's inability to calmly read my post and get out of it what I was trying to say. For all the philosophy crap you talk about you still revert to the same caustic sarcastic crap a lot of uneducated people I know turn to. And, you do it without the style or substance I expect from you. So, if you're gonna bring it, bring it right. (Please take this as the "trash-talk" it's meant to be, and don't go have a stroke over it, or something. Here, here are couple of smilies to make it all better. ) ------------------ My Rocket Page

Jeff, you rail on me 6 months ago for reading the riot act to a stoned Randall's grocery bagger, and now you have the gall to go off on those fine upstanding citizens who attend that bastion of Houston free enterprise, the gun show?
