This required its own thread why?

Do you get on Loinburger's case when he makes threads about toilet paper use, furries, or something else of much less significance??

Or do you just have the habit of singling me out?

[beneitpedro]

On other hand Patty, maybe it's just that you do not like to discuss racism at all. Sweep it under the rug, and ignore it would be your preference??

Two local women were involved in unrelated, quirky car crashes. First, Kara Leanne Griffin, 24, of Golden Gate Estates, reportedly rear-ended a farm trailer Thursday night.

Then, early Saturday morning, Karen Kittridge, 32, of Marco Island ran into a police car and then proceeded to run into a second police car near Cape Cod, Mass.

Griffin, 24 was arrested at 11:30 p.m., Thursday, and charged with DUI and leaving the scene of an accident.

Witnesses said Griffin rear-ended a farm trailer being pulled by a tractor along 23rd Avenue SW in the Estates. They also said she had nearly hit a pedestrian and ran over mailboxes, reports say.

She had a blood alcohol level of .088 percent and told the deputy she drank vodka, smoked crack and had taken Oxycodone, Clonopin, Baklaphine, Lirica, Tegradol, Paxcil, Dilantin and Lamiktal, reports say.

Griffin was groggy, and was taken to NCH North Naples Hospital.

Police in Marion, Mass. are investigating what caused Kittredge, the 32-year-old Marco woman, to crash into two cop cars Saturday morning as she drove through a coastal area north of New Bedford, Mass.

She was driving her 2008 Mercedes on Route 6 in Massachusetts shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday when she crashed into a Marion police cruiser that had its emergency lights flashing, according to a statement released by the Marion Police Department. There were no police officers in the car, which was on the side of the road, where officers were in the process of talking to a driver who had been pulled over.

The police cruiser was struck and pushed into the center of the road and sustained significant damage, according to police, who reported that Kittredge then hit a second police car, which also had its emergency lights flashing, and was parked on the side of the road while its driver assisted the other officer. The report said the police vehicle was pushed into the fast lane and sustained moderate damage.

Kittredge’s Mercedes was heavily damaged.

The vehicle that had already been pulled over was not struck and no one other than Kittredge, whose injuries were not life threatening, was hurt in the crashes, police reported. Kittredge was taken to Tobey Hospital and has since been released.

Police officers Jeffrey Tripp and Anthony DiCarlo were not hurt as both were out of their cars at the time. Route 6 was closed in both directions for about one hour.

Sgt. Marshall Sadeck, who is leading the investigation, said neither alcohol nor drugs appeared to be a factor. The Cape Cod crash is still under investigation and details of the potential cause of the accident could not yet be released as of print time.

Kittredge was charged Monday with negligent operation of a motor vehicle. She has no driving record in Collier or Lee Counties. I am opposed to unsafe driving!!!!!

SCRANTON — An area priest has been removed from his duties after church officials say he accidentally displayed inappropriate pictures from his computer before Sunday Mass.

The Diocese of Scranton said the Rev. Edward Lyman was using his computer on Oct. 25 to project an informational DVD about the annual diocesan fundraiser when four photos were displayed. They featured what church officials describe as “minimally attired adult males.”

Diocese spokesman William Genello said the photos were not pornographic, did not include minors and were not taken by the priest.

Lyman has been removed as administrator of St. Anthony, St. Bridget and St. John the Baptist parishes in Throop. The diocese would not say where he is. Homophobia

[StanWatts]

Gosh MrFun I guess you support sexual harrassment, unsafe driving, and homophobia.

Even Hitler had his good points...

When questioned, Bardwell, who is white, acknowledged he routinely avoids marrying interracial couples because he believes children born to them end up suffering. In interviews, he said he refers the couples to other justices of the peace, who then perform the ceremony, which happened in this case. Does the fact that he doesn't try to stop them from getting married but just avoids doing so make him a little less evil? While I really don't like to defend racists like him, who did he really hurt here? He only inconvenienced them. Yes he's a public official and should be held to the highest standard, but I don't seem to harbor the same hate that I usually do for outright bigots. I was actually surprised that I even thought this.

More likely you are a complete waste of space who has to make absurd accusations like the above to cover for your inability to discuss anything intelligently

Actually, it's not just you - in general here on Apolyton, racism is somewhat of a taboo topic among conservative posters here.

[Mr Andrews]

And yet, as a government official (justice), he was obligated under law to marry interracial straight couples equally as he would with those of the same race. The question of whether or not he "only inconvenienced" the interracial couple is a moot point, IMO.

Legally I agree 100%

He hurt the interracial couple who went to him to get married. Imagine the indignant shock of the couple when the justice denied them this, and then when he told them his reasons for doing so.

I doubt anything would "shock" an interracial couple in the south.

Again I think it's wrong and agree that it's good that he retired.

But telling a couple, I think your potential children may be negatively impacted so would you please call this judge instead, while wrong, isn't as evil as most of the racist crap I read about.

I'm talking degree of evil, and for some strange reason, I think this is less evil, but I can't totally explain why I think so, and again that surprises me.

Well, at least the justice allows his black "friends" to use his bathroom when they visit him at home.

[AndyScouchek]

You do understand the difference between wondering why you didn't simply use your original thread and being reluctant to discuss the topic correct?

Are you so insecure about your posting ability that you really had to jump straingt to personal attacks? Seriously?

Oh, come on now.

Reading your back and forth with MrFun in this thread, it's clear you jumped to the personal attacks and not MrFun. For example, your quote:
More likely you are a complete waste of space who has to make absurd accusations like the above to cover for your inability to discuss anything intelligently Unless you are calling this statement by MrFun to be a personal attack, which is utterly outrageous:
On other hand Patty, maybe it's just that you do not like to discuss racism at all. Sweep it under the rug, and ignore it would be your preference??

Not everyone can be as eloquent as me.

So the one regular white dude on Sesame Street regularly gets a fish confused for a dog, can pull his pants over his head, and can't talk.

Wiki says Nov. 10th... racist show

[Louthcoombutt]

Google is wrong

Wiki Win!

[wowwieholmes]

Actually, it's not just you - in general here on Apolyton, racism is somewhat of a taboo topic among conservative posters here.

That is because conservatives are congenitally racist - they just can't help it.

[shanice]

Where did it say that?
Reading the article leads me to believe that he doesn't have any black friends.

[GinaGomesz]

Go away, MOBBY.
Being uncomfortable with discussing racism does not necessarily make one racist.

Well, personally I think it belies a deep seated fear of other races - which is essentially racism in my book.

It might not necessarily be their fault as such, so more a knee-jerk reaction. I imagine they were brought up that way and it can't be easy turning your back on generations and generations of racism and hatred.

I rather liken it to the de-Nazification carried out in post-war Germany. These things definitely take time, but there's definitely been progress in leaps and bounds.

[beatrisio]

And Patty, if it really was a question about why I created a separate thread for this, why not just move on already and contribute if you have no problem talking about racism? I did move on until you made a stupid comment about me sweeping racism under the table in my supposed fear to discuss it. You pretty much derailed this thread yourself.

If you had included this in the original thread you probably would have avoided all this spam coming from every corner.
