I used to like benson- til he started getting seriously nasty with people over perceived slights.I also dislike his tendency to immediately bring up Blacks when he’s called on his own prejudices. He feels he has a right to post as he likes- and he does- but heaven forbid someone should disagree with him. And that crappy little Obama joke, posted when we weren’t even discussing Blacks or Obama.
Now he’s picking fights with snappy and gem. He can stuff his Borsalino where the sun don’t shine.
btw, I like bxgrl & MM too
the fact they battle with benson has no bearing on me liking all 3 of them
Me too. I grew up in a family where everybody discussed politics….all the time. Once when I was 18 and opining authoritatively on Vietnam with a group of my uncles, one of my uncles really stepped on me, publically. Wow. I mean everyone did mental eye rolls but he did a number on what a ignorant, inexperienced person I was. Come back when I have a little life experience under your belt and then you can earn the right to run off at the mouth. crap. Turns out he was a really bad time in Korea, really bad. Hey what the hell did I know.
Bottom line….I am not slashing anyone over politics, ever. He was a good guy but I never forgot that really.
What’s the point.
Little too late, but affirmative action has its place as a way to even the playing field sometimes, in some situations. Besides, it may get you in the door, staying inside is totally up to the individual.
Well, his name was being mentioned when he wasn’t here to defend himself. don’t think there was anything really to defend but I sure as hell wouldn’t want you talking about me behind my back. it’s just rude and inconsiderate and reeks of poor white trash tornado bait which, after yesterday, it’s clear all of you are…except of course the black people.. Oh, and there was something about political correctness!!!
And when I’m not on a thread here, I’m busy at my desk doing god’s work.

“But Dave, we talk about you behind your back ALL THE TIME! : P”
Impossible. DIBS is on every thread. He’s omnipresent like god.
But Dave, we talk about you behind your back ALL THE TIME! : P

” I did a cool project last week making resumes for women in a transitional shelter”
Well even if your nips aren’t up to scratch you’ve got a big heart.
Can someone tell me why benson came into the OT today? Was there something that went on in another thread that I missed?
