It's a statement about society.

Hmmm...?

Cencorship at work maybe?

Cencorship at work maybe?

Doubtful. It would be a brave enterprise that tried to silence Maggie Thatcher.

Maybe it was my computer...this one doesn't seem to care...

Okay everybody, if any of you all think you can have the last post in this thread, now that I am here you may want to reconsider such an impossible to achieve goal.  It ain't gonna happen.  Or does a quasi-old timer from Texas need to show you all how to get it done right?  I am all saddled up and ready to go, and I won't need until the cows come home to straighten this here mess out.

Probably, because your spell checker seems to be broken.

As much as I hate to double post... I just saw this after my initial post...

I was here before you were, I shall be here well after you. You will not win this thread.

It's actually difficult to find a pic of a pic error x.  I looked before and gave up.


If you want something a bit creepy...

Here's one to balance out the thing above.

Something says to me that you have not crossed paths before now with a true Texan.


Mvh,

[outin]

Now who's gonna be the last one standing?

A Texan:



or a Finn:



 

[perfect_pitch]

OH MY GOSH!!! I SOOOOOOOOOOO HAVE TO GET ONE!!!

They're so CUTE!!! (Yes, as much as I hate Cat videos... I LOVE Owl videos).

Something says to me that you have not crossed paths before now with a true Texan.

Sure I have... I think I have a picture of the last one who crossed me...



 

[michael_sayers]

That is what it would take for me not to get in the last post here. At my age there is an ever increasing possibility that nature will take care of this for you.

For now I remain ever present and all observing, and cordially such [for the most part ]. . .


Mvh,

A scot.



Although, don't let the kilt fool you - Mel Gibsons scottish accent was awful.

Sorry but

Nonsense.



Of course, by "every one" they mean just me.

Good job, good job, good job, good job, good job.....

A scot.

Sure...

[Bob]

Haha.  I scrolled up from the bottom.  Is that a girl?  With beer cans?  And muscly legs?  Man hands?!

No, probably not, because unless you are a Native American (hopefully that doesn't offend anyone?), there isn't such a thing We all came from lovely Europe

[Bob]

I was born here.  Everyone I know was born here too.  That makes me a native, right? 

[j_menz]

Indeed. But you only get a small "n".

[Bob]

Small n, big B, as they say... or not.


*Bob's trying to figure out what means.*

That's it... I want an owl.

[Bob]

Haha.  Subtle.

So you get an owl and I'll get a cute black guy?

I think the correct term is 'African-American'... Geez...   

[outin]

Nope, you wont get any by trying to be overly politically correct...not even owls

[compline]

[Bob]

It must be tougher for non-US people.  For race terms I mean.  I would they would just say black.  But then they'd probably also have to take into account if they're from the US, in which case it would be 'African American.'


Oh yes... Blame Canada.

I've spend a lot of time with said people in US and none of them thought of themselves as AFRICAN American and many find it quite offensive to be called so. OTOH no-one never seemed to be bothered when I called them a cute black guy, quite the opposite  

But I am quite colour blind, I'll be just as happy with a cute white guy 

[Bob]

I guess this would work too. 





The funny thing is when you actually say something like that in real life.  People ask what someone looked like -- male/female, ethnicity -- and you tell them, "I don't know.  I didn't notice.  ...I don't see people in terms of _____."

[outin]

I guess this would work too.  

No, he's not cute at all  

[Bob]

I didn't catch the second part until today.  It just sounds funny to me if you're saying you don't see obvious features about people.

You do know there are people who cannot really "see" faces (facial agnosia)? But I'm not really bad though, I can tell if someone's cute or not

It's just the missing gender and skin color part.  Workplace political correctness....


Bob:  Hey, someone stopped by for you.
Coworker:  Was it a tall African American guy?
Bob:  I don't know.  I didn't notice.
Coworker: o_0
Bob:  ...I don't see gender or ethnicity.  I'm sure they'd prefer to called a "person" too and not an "it."

There's facial blindness... I wonder if there's something like self-appearance blindness.
