Can I get an applause from the mods?

I have to be congratulated.

On saturday, it was finally my mom's funeral. I got to place her ashes in the stone. pretty sad day. Unknown to me, my ex wife showed up. I had not seen her in 10 years, just before episode 1 came out. She turned into a fat dog, but I was nice to her. I finally gave her a hug and said, "I forgive you for leaving me for a black man". and I walked off. now doesn't that deseve some congratulations?

At least you aren't racist. Good luck with the applause.

well thank you Karl.

asking for an applause is pretty desperate. making a black man reference is not very cool either. tell yoda i said hi.

Maybe she had "visions" of the future.

I couldn't agree more. What's her mailing address?


:golfclap:

Well congratulations with the funeral!

But you thread was doing good up until the black man comment. You could have said "I forgive you for leaving me for another man"

Now you appear racist, and you have spoilt your thread. But I guess I forgive you.

Your threads are always unique Jedi, and I must admit in a strange way I have missed them, its good to have you back on ATS.

As for the applause I dont think you can actually ask for it but hey what do I know. If you dont ask you dont get... right?

Maybe direct your question to one person / mod only... now who would you choose hmmm....

Good luck..

JQ.

Excellent example of attention seeking that ive been trying to point out :dwn:

Darn! does this mean i'm getting no applause? I'm broken hearted!


By the way, not racist. just that she always said, "I'll never have sex with a black guy." During our marriage.

Hi Jedi.

Don't be broken hearted over applause, thats a small thing compared to what you've experienced the past few weeks.

I know how you feel and what you're going through, I lost my mother a couple of years ago, unexpectedly as well.

Everyone will express their grief in different ways, maybe this is just your way of doing so? I know I was quiet, didn't really talk to many people or say much around the family. After a few months, I was able to talk about mom and laugh and remember to good times again.

Time heals everything. Try to hang in there.

As far as the ex-wife, I have one of those too. Sometimes the best way to handle those situations are to just laugh. Let it go and laugh.

So again, hang in there buddy, you have people here who like you and enjoy reading your posts, I've seem them compliment you in your threads and that is a form of applause, just without the points attached.

Keep on KeepN on.

hmmmm....

jedi, ou're wife may have told you throughout your marriage that she would never let a black guy hit. however, secretly the idea of letting a black guy hit, always fascinated her.

the reason why she left you for a black dude is becasue the force was a lot stronger in him. and more than likely, his light saber (when activated) was the biggest she had ever seen.

Why would having sex with a black guy ever even be brought up? Considering you were married she shouldn't be having sex with anyone.

^^^ thats the best post I've seen in a while

Hmm, I have no problem with this I would have done the exact same thing.

Now I'm not a racist person. You can all sit here and say what you want, but no one really knows me here, I'm very tolerant. I make a lot of stereotypical remarks and jokes. I don't think I could live without them, this world would be far too boring of a place I'd have to shoot myself.

There is a difference between discrimination and prejudice. It's really a measure of which one you're willing to live with more, unfortunately in this world you can't really have both.

You're always going to be prejudice towards someone, whether you discriminate or not is a totally different story. I would never discriminate because quite frankly, I believe that no matter what your skin color, religion, sex, whatever difference it may be; we all bleed red and blood to me matters more than appearance.

But yes jedi, you have my applause.

I'm gonna take a step over the whole "racism" factor because quite frankly if someone reads your comment and thinks "racist" they're really the racist ones for thinking it. I can only hope that you used the other mans appearance as more fuel to throw onto your ex's fire and not to attack him personally. It's only ammo to which you can continue to fight a battle is all.

All my friends do it, but they aren't racist because we're all friends with people of different races and we get along fine with others. It's just something else we can use to put that "significant other" further into the ground.

"Thanks for leaving for me for another man" just doesn't have the same effect.

Now if Jedi is in fact racist, then that's a whole different story and quite frankly I wouldn't associate myself with him.

Now, you can all find plenty wrong with my ideas, but that's ok, it's just my ideas and by no means affects any of your lives and non of you know who I am. Just as your opinions don't affect my life.

We're all a lotted our own opinions as long as it doesn't negatively affect the lives of others.

Shattered OUT...

You're right SS, it's not degrading enough. Leaving him for a white man would have been understandable, and maybe acceptable. But for a lowly dog like a black man??

I'm sorry, I don't ever recall calling the black guy a lowly dog, neither did jedi.

So why are you making insinuations and making up meanings?

Shattered OUT...

Not directly, but you certainly implied that pointing out that his wife leaving him for a black man is worse than her leaving him for a white man, hence the 'drilling her deeper into the ground' bit.
