Please view The Bastard’s video. When I say that I don’t want to be a political blogger, I mean it. Actually I’m going to catch up on all the TV shows I missed last week and watch Desperate Housewives only 20something minutes after it begins playing–get to skip the commercials that way. Dreamed last night that The Big Easy, the classic chick film was a weekly TV series, and they stopped production with absolutely no clue as to where they were going next. I would assume LA, but in my dream I didn’t.
These are sad, grief filled, and angry times for every American who loves this country. When I receive comments like the one below, I know I’m doing the right thing.
I wrote this when I first woke up, was very tired and had to go class. I am a person who must ingest a ton of coffee before attempting to do anything. Didn’t have time to drink but a half cup of coffee. Figured that I could be tired for a Buddhist meditation class. So this ain’t a perfect post. But it’s from the heart.
Your such a nigger
A comment that I received on my ‘listen to the tape” post.
First: ‘your” is wrong it should be “you’re” or “you are.” Many people use spelling mistakes as a sign of an illiterate person. I can’t and don’t because I can’t spell and sometimes my grammar isn’t perfect–but contractions?
Spelling and grammar don’t always make sense in English. However contractions do. Therefore the person who wrote this is truly stupid and I really couldn’t care less what she thinks.
If the person who commented meant that I stand with Black people on this, she is correct.
Yes I stand with all decent people of all races who were affected by Katrina.
I stand with all people who have been victims of hate; hatred is dangerous; hatred leads to violence and wars
I stand with all people who have had it with a lying corrupt government that somehow believes it is above the law.
And before you tell me to move on; it’s your turn to.
I am using this example to tell my new comment policy.
I will delete all comments like this. They’re sick and serve no purpose other than to satisfy some stupid need to make nasty comments in other peoples blogs.
This is a blog; it is my blog, therefore I set the rules.
I might change the rules and write a post around it just because I don’t understand people who comment in other peoples blogs to spew hate.
I find the word “nigger” to be much more offensive than the word “f–k.”
But I don’t expect white trash to understand that.
Amen! It’s your blog. I believe in, if you don’t have anything nice or constructive to say don’t say anyting at all.
Incorrect use of the English language annoys me too.
I did chuckle when I read your post though - “Many people using spelling as a sign of an illiterate person.” (Pot, Kettle, Black?)
My pet hate is people inventing words that don’t exist because they cannot be bothered to structure their sentence properly.
Good for you, Pia. I also find that word more offensive than f*ck.
Whoa, who’s writing this crap in your comments? Ban them! I am back in the yucky UK btw!
that word IS offensive and the commenter is trash for using it.
I get very annoyed with that particular grammar mistake.
That word is very offensive. I’ve never even brought myself to saying, even when quoting other people (black or white).
I agree totally Pia. Anyone who would even use that word shows that they may be featured on a future Jerry Springer if they haven’t already. I hate the word and I too think that it is much more offensive than to use the word f-k. You go girl!
Here, here!
It’s your blog and your opinions no one has the right to be offensive because of that!
Thats so weird. I’ve received the same comment on my blog. I think its a conservative bashing machine online.
rightly so.
I bet that commenter was/is on the debate team in high school.
I got the same comment on my blog, too.
I get the jackhole is bitter ‘cuz he’s got zits on his tongue.
good post, pia
I’m adding to video link to my blog. Excellent visuals.
“u” and “yur” are my pet peeve spellings. N***** is just idiotic. I can’t believe some jackass thinks that’s clever enough to spread aroumd.
Oh Pia, you gave this knuckle dragging primitive far more attention than they deserve. Maybe your (sic) just not bean sensitive to there (sic) opinions.
People are so ignorant. It pays to ignore them as it makes them angrier. Nothing you can do is going to make them realize they are ignorant. I guess that is the blessing of being ignorant.
if “susan” wanted to say something, she should have SAID something, not resorted to petty name calling. i dislike this aspect of cyberspace.
I don’t agree that the word is offensive. It is just incorrectly used. Look it up the the dictionary. It means “A stupid person.” It didn’t get its roots from the term “negro”. Check it out. The word isn’t offensive. The people who use it for racial degredation are offensive and the word could be used to describe them as well. I think that it would be better to call someone “ignorant”, myself, but that is me. Why can’t this country get past race and skin color?
Oh, my. Mr. Troll came out from under his bridge and now he’s getting a lot of attention.
Seriously, f_ck is a great word. It’s a noun, it’s a verb… The N-word, OTOH, is a racist cry for attention.
Amen, Pia!
Your blog rocks…
Pia,
I like Moxie Grrrl’s policy. Cut what you like, and then, just for fun, cut some others that may have been less offensive by the same author just for kicks and giggles.
It’s your blog. Blog on Sister. By the way, I’m linking up to the Bastard’s video.
Got a similar comment from presumably the same moron. Asshats like that are merely fuel for my fire.
Peace.
People like that just like to come on people’s blogs and start a fight. They feel insecure or just love to spew hate around. It is so sad.
By the way, you have an excellent blog! keep it up!
For the record, after a year of blogging and ten months of having my blog public, I deleted three comments today for the first time. And I loved it. Make that four comments
Racism is sickening and stupid. I have been the subject of many insulting comments and never deleted one because I wanted my blog to be a record of all interactions, good and bad.
But there are certain things I won’t allow; I would rather have a person curse up a storm than use the “n” word
In my blog I decide what stays and what goes. Don’t like it. Go fug yourself
