184. Cadillacs

Tue Oct 22, 2024, 03:02 PM

Oct 22

I worked part time freshman year in college at Georgetown. In 1972, in the Senate office of the notorious Jesse Helms. I did not know who he was. I worked in his mailroom, where we separated checks (donations) from correspondence. Most people included printed ‘jokes’ (racial slurs) that were like small regious tracts. They’re not worth repeating, but many featured Cadillacs in their racist messages.

Why am I not surprised you would find something else to complain about Israel. former9thward Oct 20 #150

Yes, you are right, there are zero Jews living in Gaza because they would be killed for their religion, very segregated EX500rider Oct 20 #138

It's in the script. Equating them makes Hamas terrorists morally righteous freedom fighters battling racism betsuni Oct 20 #97

yep EX500rider Oct 20 #136

lol, now this is a funny one! Yes, it's obviously racism to expose those good guys in Hamas living a life of luxury tritsofme Oct 20 #84

Where are the Palestinian protestors? Protesting mass slaughter and destruction, RockRaven Oct 19 #7

Gaza had a whole border with Eygpt not controlled by Israel..I wonder why their fellow Arabs kept it fairly shut also? EX500rider Oct 20 #140

Sure, Israel is not responsible for anything they do to the Palestinians because of Hamas. Eko Oct 20 #117

Of course there is no equivalency between a claimed Birkin bag and the horrors suffered by Palestinians Beastly Boy Oct 20 #74

Yeah I know you're fond of "look what you made me do" rationalizations. AloeVera Oct 20 #82

I am more fond of challenging " look there, not here" rationalizations. Beastly Boy Oct 20 #86

Not surprised you think the exterminations in Gaza RIGHT NOW amount to no more than a silly deflection. AloeVera Oct 20 #94

And you have proved that you are incapabale of understanding Military Necessity and Proportionality. Eko Oct 20 #120

I don't quite get your reference to military necessity and proportionality. Beastly Boy Oct 20 #142

Tell me if I am wrong, but I recall no particular formula he mentioned. Beastly Boy Oct 20 #153
