It's pretty unique, ain't it. Reckon what finn's need to defend the ignorant little putz from the evil Ike is all about, eh? Maybe they're secretly related.

It's a case of 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend,' seems to me. Finn has a real case for about two people here, and they're both in this thread.

I resemble that remark.

You are a typical liberal. You know about as much about black people as you are told.
I just spent all morning goofing off with a couple of black guys.
Yeah, I know nothing about it.

Anyone with half-assed social skills and not too disordered a personality can get along with their workmates. Doesn't mean a thing.

And you're still being anecdotal, of course....

Zero, why don't you stop by St. Louis, so I can set you up with a few black friends up here. Then you can regale us with your stories of hanging out with some ghetto blacks.

Don't work with them and never have. Do some work for them from time to time. Mostly fixing back pack blowers, chainsaws, weedeaters that they use for work. Never charge anything for doing it.


And, anecdotal pretty much covers anything that does not fit your preconceptions of the way things are. Actually they are not always the way you think they are. Not even close.

Actually , that is the point I am trying to make. It is not like that here.

The ghetto blacks are a product of what you got when blacks left the South thinking that somehow the wonderful Yankees were going to give them fortune. And, the liberals "helped" them for a few generations.

You made them, you can keep them.

Whatever.

That is not the meaning of anecdotal as I used it.....

Not always, true enough. Will you admit the last sentence applies to you, too?

I'll readily admit an aversion to ideological blowhards, regardless of political stripe. I'm as repulsed by Ed Schultz as I am Rush Limbaugh.
