UnNeighborly Neighbors
11.11.2004I can’t say I’ve ever really got much hate mail here at PTA, but apparently my ignorance has astounded this fine friend from canada.
“This has to be one of the most offensive websites I’ve ever seen. Your ignorance is astounding. Referring to Middle Easterners as “Mohammeds” is racism. Celebrating guns is foolish. They should be outlawed. Taking scripture as stricture is sophomoric, unscientific and short-sighted. Patriotism is nothing more than over-zealous nationalism and isn’t that what created Hitler?
Now, granted since I am from Canada, you’ll undoubtedly call me some sort of liberal, communist, socialist, pot-smoking lefty, but it’s way better here than there. Good luck, America. You’re gonna need it. I wouldn’t be surprised if you now threaten me because it seems violence is the only thing you understand. Later Losers.”
Racism? Here? Nah. We believe in culturalism. Meaning that skin color doesn’t make a man lesser than another, his culture does. Face it, some cultures are better than others. And nobody here has referred to a “middle easterner” as a mohammed. If you are referring to this post, you might be wiser to read the whole clip and note that the fellers name happens to be Mohammed.
Not very patriotic? well, don’t feel bad. I can undestand that Canada only has so much to be proud of.
Celebrating guns is foolish??? Now who’s the ignorant one. You must be for these “common sensed” 40 reasons to ban guns. Or you can read up on all of the armed citizens (not criminals, like you would make them out to be). Heck, punch in canada in the search, and see what you get.
“Now, granted since I am from Canada, you’ll undoubtedly call me some sort of liberal, communist, socialist, pot-smoking lefty, but it’s way better here than there.”
With “But” as the key word, I take it you are not denying being any of these.
And about threatening physical violence…. since I woulden’t want to let you down, lemme see what I can think of… how about this:
We don’t like yer kind. And if I run into you on the street, you can bet yer in for a reeeal good indian burn. er, sorry, that wasn’t very PC. Native-American burn.
Sorry Mark, but you have proven to be the foolish one, and have only made a mockery of yourself.
p.s. - Dispite your hurtful words, I have to admit that I really like Canadians. I think everybody should own one.
Men occasionally stumble on the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
