The Admiral: "How can we move forward in anything when we spend so much time hurting one another, and arguing amongst ourselves?" Ego is the biggest hurdle anyone can overcome.
For the record, please refer to me as the delicate "Southern flower" from now on. Ya'll should know, it is NOT nice to refer to me as "White Trash". :D OH, or trailer trash either! Somebody left out that reference/judgement and it was not me.
If guns kill people, then adjectives are racist...I vote we have our guns kill all the adjectives, because without adjectives there can be no racism :P
EVERYONE who knows me has experienced at least ONCE when one of my catch-phrases appears in mainstream media 3 years later.
I've experienced a lifetime of it.
Just this minute, I have experienced a phenomenon called "reverse racism". This black chick just "unfriended" me because she wants to "help her black sisters" before she helps any other group. All I asked was WHY wasn't she helping ALL women.
I love Mexican folks!!!!
Tara Duncan, I am very thankful you wrote this article. I am the first to make a joke out of something or laugh when I read something of humour, but I see the importance your of message. And, as ALWAYS, you are more than "on the spot."
As some of you know, I had previous interactions with LaNi Black (make note that she called herself BLACK, in reference to her skin colour, let that sink in), and I had tried using humour to point her at her prejudice against non-blacks. Lammi ain't got no time fo dat!
Everything is backwards. One can be presented as the oppressed minority looking for redemption for the wrongs of an evil world, but in reality one can be the oppressor, the oppressed, and a spreader of evil and division among the world.
Her prejudice is so strong, that she even felt entitled to steal the free conversation we had! :O That is so fucked-up, in so many ways. I cannot imagine having such characters in a position of power. Very dangerous.
The act of self-censoring. <<Who needs opponents when we self-censor? Perhaps you can think about this for just a moment.>> This is why, I guess, some things will continue to be as constant as the Northern Star. Some folks just are way to comfortable with slavery.
Thank you, Tara!
A few thoughts on the concept of "Lammi". Lammi was not just a member of the group, but a frequent caller to our household. She consumed vast amounts of Scott's time during their conversations and he missed meals and stayed up late to accommodate her on a number of occasions. On one such evening I asked who was on the phone. The answer I heard was "Lammi".
I really did rescue a little lost stuffed animal from a mud puddle in a parking lot (actual story deleted - see above) who's name, according to the tag, was "Lammi". I had a soft spot in my heart for that little lamb, and the name "lammi" is adorable. Just say it out loud. So Lani/Lammi was born - reinforced by the fact that everyone yelled, "Lammi" whenever she phoned. Lammi knew the story behind the nickname, and she knew, or should have known no insult was intended. So sure, maybe the whole racism/censorship thing makes me spitting mad...but she went too far when she tried to make something evil or duplicitious out of the parking lot story. She crapped on the cuteness that is "Lammi". Nobody fucks with the lamb!
I could have become concerned about the direction this group is heading...bear with me while I explain:
2 of the groups' collective offspring (aka threads with value) have now been sacrificed, along with 2 animals, namely a puppy and a lamb(i)...
If I didn't know better, I may have previously likened it to a cult, akin to the old testament...except for some key facts:
Everything I have witnessed here is verifiable.
No one has asked me to believe anything
No one forced me to be here
No one has tried to sell me anything (Kent Kent Barrett's mugs don't count ;-) )
We can, individually and collectively take the piss out of our respective failings (thinking wrong and valuing the wrong things) in a true effort to deprogram the bullshit we have been fed
You folks are honest; when bullshit is called it is for educational, not malicious purposes...it is not sugar coated, but the lesson is invariably wrapped in intelligent humour
There is a genuine effort, purpose and and plan to right wrongs
I am becoming much better at critically assessing information which has simplified my life immensely
So, all flippancy aside, we may be fulfilling an agenda, but the wisdom/information and potential value contained here is immeasurable ('potential' because I still think wrong and do not yet fathom the full extent of what I am learning here), so Thank you all...no group hug necessary
But please, can y'all try not to sacrifice anymore animals, especially bunnies, kitties or carp? :D
I couldn't agree more Stuart. I have much ADMINISTRATION to do and grateful to be under the ADMIRAL and Capitaine Pete's command. I too have made mistakes. My objective now is to be FORGIVEN for them and properly discharge some shit!
You didn't do anything wrong, Pete Daoust. You were having fun in a fun thread - not everyone has a sense of humour. No worries though - I've got your back :D
<<How can we move forward in anything when we spend so much time hurting one another, and arguing amongst ourselves?>> My comments: 1) Love, absolutely love your writing style Tara Duncan 2) Love this group for "keeping shit REAL". No filters. No sense of entitlement. Just calling things as they are. 3) When folks see that we are ALL the same racism cannot exist. We bleed the same, breathe the same, and shit the same way. Unfortunately folks are too busy using their eyes to see shit that is superficial at best. I don't care what "colour" you are or who you prefer to fuck. None of my business. 4) I am very annoyed by this selfish act of "self-censoring". Pissed that it was by "one of our own". I did enjoy Lammi's contributions and am vexxed that she BELIEVED that she was ENTITLED to deprive me of the value contained in the thread she deleted. BITCH! Have fun out there with the fucking sheeple. When the shit hits the fucking fan they will be there to take care of you I'm sure.
As always, eloquent AND informative Tara. I am sad that I missed all the fun.
I shall try to be as objective as possible whenever you (or anyone else) show me a possible flaw in my thinking. I can't say that social programming has been completely eradicated from my interactions, however, I think it is a mission I shall never abandon as long as I don't "lose" my mind.
I think this place of truth is quite "fair" in that ALL beliefs are held with the same amount of disrespect well deserved.
Fuck I'm having this discussion with my wife.... her poor girl brain.... she says my attitude is negative and she just wants to live in light and love..... I'm having incredible trouble smashing her programming everything is ego and negative
Lol...... it's the exact same deal with Lani from the other day.... my wife's belief system won't let her grow..... she actually said I don't care about the hassle I just want to have fun
I went in there and offered a 100 bucks.... and the fat cunt behind the till goes no I require 250..... so I asked her if she was refusing payment and would draft a document saying as much and would she have the authority having jurisdiction sign it
So then she tries to get tough and I swore at her and she goes if your going to use that language I'm not going to help you.... so I asked her to draft up a document saying she was refusing payment due to my demeanor and I want it signed
So they took the payment and I got a receipt .... but my lovely bride keeps asking me can they still tow my vehicle ..... you should have gotten a letter saying they were not going to tow the vehicle
Have not anyone noticed, all she has is SCS? And that is bad news. It practically impossible to "cure". Dump that cunt!
Stupic Cunt Syndrome it's real, and it's here to stay! Run bitches!
First, whose worst nightmare is having a car towed? As a married couple (condolences) you are supposed to work as a team. If your wife wants to know the likely outcome of any situation I presume she can make sounds with her mouth into sentences, the same as you can. Oh - hormonal issues, say no more.

i think it was a dumping of the cunt.... I cannot... I need my children to grow up with a dad.... And if i left she would have thinking they are channeling alien consciousness in no time so fuck that
I KNOW Scott Duncan will be personally responsible a a few divorces of maybe a few members of the Tender for Law. Hahahaha!
"You don't get to unlearn what I teach" I know this is just a tiny example of this truth. :O
20 yards. They are easily programmed at the best of times... yours is not a very sophisticated model... Like a MoPed...
...nah. Too easy. :D
Where was I? OH yes...
She's totally programmable. You owe me for getting her to off herself.
I totally see how I was programmed and am still battling these fucking programs...... my wife that lovely lady showed me by going through all her programs
Seriously though. Simple solutions. The car will be towed, or it will not. You have done your best to make this a non-issue - keep doing that. If your wife asks if they can tow the car say "no, it's taken care of". It is in as much as you have done everything you can to prevent it.
Worrying, or blaming you for something that hasn't happened will do her no good. She can concentrate on being a good wife and mother. She then views you as having done the "manly" thing - solving problems, keeping the family safe, and hopefully your life moves on. In the possible but unlikely event that the car is towed, you should show surprise that this should happen as it has been "taken care of". You resolve to correct the mistake. Repeat as necessary. Move on.
