Try justifying child molestation, or making fun of someone with Down Syndrome. /QUOTE]

I def try to be sensitive to physical or mental handicaps. I tend to not make jokes that are sexist, ageist or racist either. People who are already marginalized don't need more grief, they need acceptance and understanding. That's how i try best to deal with life sunny jim. Everyone has different ways of coping and everyone is individual in their approach. Unless someone, that may be perceived as offensive, is flat-out racist, or the like, I try to suspend judgement and better understand them and their struggle. I've been known to wag my finger at people but I'm not so sure this is always the best approach

That's fair enough, abe subercro. I wasn't calling your integrity into question.

This is, however, a public forum. If something posted is deeply offensive, it's open to public scrutiny. I feel I was polite when I asked her to take down the picture ridiculing a man with Down Syndrome, which wasn't even acknowledged. That indicates she stands by that post. That's pretty indefensible coming from a grown woman, wouldn't you agree?

Suggesting someone should've been subjected to child molestation because that person is mean to her today goes beyond the pale. A classy person would apologize and remove the offensive content. If that makes me a hypocrite and an whiny asshole, so be it.

reducing yourself to name calling was why i barked back. i'm all for being conscientious sunny jim, but this is toke and talk though so people get rather flippant, that's life. let's all lead by example when we can. some ppl's sense of humor, i may never understand

There is no defense for making fun of people with disabilities, or for making light of child molestation. All the rest is superfluous. Any reasonable person, when presented with these facts, would concede and apologize. Done and dusted.

The irony of Yessica saying I would never say any of this to her face doesn't escape me, either. Would she approach a man with Down Syndrome, push her lower lip out with her tongue, and start counting 'And a 1, and a 2, and a 1, 2, potato' in public? Not unless she's rancid to the core.

I thought Stoners would be more chill and all like hippy and stuff. Like me, one with the peace and love for all. I've been disappointed.

It's all good peoples. How that one in the mirror acts is what you need to be thinking about. Not judging or hatin. That stuff ain't allowed in my crib.

I love you all even the nasty ones. I hope someday we all find peace and love in our hearts and all violence is cured. Live and let live. Make love not war.

It's all good man.

See no evil, hear no evil.

I might still speak evil from time to time though. I'm not a fucking Saint!

Hahah

I been putting peeps on ignore too. I don't want to hear about such nasty things. I see that al the time in the real world. The RIU is for going to a place and finding peace. It doesn't really work like that but, that's what I use it for.

Trust me. I pray for forgiveness all the time. Nor am I innocent but, I can honestly say I have never had to rape anyone. Nor have I subjected anyone to violence. I don't steal. I'm quite honest actually. But, I have said and done hurtful things before. There are more than a couple of women that really don't like me much. Honestly tho, I did nothing wrong except decide they weren't my soul mates. And honestly, they all loved onto other men. So I don't understand what the problem is. Yet I do apologize. Cause God knows I ain't innocent either. I am diligent these days those in improving my ways and disciplined to being a much better person and example. It's all good
Babe. Can't beat myself up forever. Forgive and do better. Peace and love.

All you need to do is try to treat other people as you want to be treated.

It's simple really. Hard to do when you're speaking of love.

People fall in and out of love all the time. It's sad, but it happens.

I'm still waiting for the one. And I'm not going to stop looking until I find them.
