Well this is the rant forum. Why did you post something everyone agrees with?

Makes NO difference.....

Would be on using other peoples quotes as their own rant...

Mirthful Me, what?

He didn't say that....when you use someone else's writing and pass it off as your own it's called plagiarism.

if it was plagirism it was only by absentmindedness
not intent to covet these ideas as my own

i'm sick and overworked
can't expect much from me today

From the days of the Big Black Nothing ...





Boondocks is a cool strip.

Though, as mentioned, attribution is not only ethical but also a requirement ... even post-absentmindedness.

Rant On, madnessinmysoul. Just be sure to get it All out ... tension and stress are silent killers and we wouldn't want that, now would we?

Down on the boondocks ... Down on the boondocks ... sing it with me.

Jesus was hebrew, not black. But, as KL said, it really doesn't matter. As long as he's there, watching over us and keeping us safe.

to quote huey again (well, it's more paraphrased) "there were many black men in the region of palestine at the time"

I'm so offended! How could you say something so taboo!? You're wrong - Jesus was white with blue eyes, Ronald Reagan is God, and our government is the best that ever existed in the history of the world!

Is that the reaction you were hoping for?

who rants for a reaction?

and honestly, if i was looking for a negative reaction i'd post that on a website that has posters that mostly believe that:

jesus was white and/or black people are less than human
ronald reagan was a deity and the greatest president
and that 9/11 was obviously carried out by al qaeda and that we're told the whole truth

ATS is more open
i like that

Having an opinion that differs from the majority in no way makes something more *open.* Someone with wacky ideas can be just as/more close minded than someone who believes things that are common.
