4. Good going. I quit smoking about 25 years ago.



Quit drinking about three years ago.



Now no woman is safe around me, gotta have some vices.







Just kidding about the woman part. Only real vice I have now is the Lotto.

7. Cigarettes were only about 30 cents a pack when you quit.
I quit 4 years ago, and I was upset when Peter Jennings said he had quit 20 years ago, but he still got lung cancer.

And if I did, it wouldn't be because you're white.

It'd be because you're an asshole.

You're not an asshole, are ya?

19. He doesn't hate white people.
It's a fact that when nonwhite people are kidnapped, the msm doesn't cover it like if a white person is kidnapped. I'm saying that is the truth and I'm white. Are you gonna say I hate white people? When was the last time you saw an alert going out to be on the lookout for a nonwhite person who was kidnapped or went missing? Do you even know who Ashia Degree is, for example?

22. Bingo
Some pretty white chick gets kidnapped or murdered and the national MSM is all over it like flies on crap for weeks, months or even years. A nonwhite person suffers the same fate and they are lucky if the local news covers it for a few days.

And just for the record, I'm a fair-skinned blonde white chick.

MrScorpio is one cool dude. Anyone knocking him had better watch for his friends, the people who know he's not racist, saying something in return.

You began this encounter with your snarky comment and now you go on the defensive? MrS is a highly respected member of this community. You are not going to win any battle against him or any supporters amongst other DUers with your behavior. Let it rest.

34. Gimme a break. He may be well respected, I don't doubt that at all.
We probably have more in common than differences. It was a an offhand comment that escalated into a henpecking party.

35. You're completely OBLIVIOUS to what's going on here, are you?
Lemme hip ya.

You started this shit by accusing me of being a racist, without any pertinent facts.

When challenged with a request to show your cards, you chickenshitted out and went all ad hominem on me.

I, on the other hand didn't accuse you of being an asshole, I merely asked the question, if you were one. You could have easily said, "No, I'm not an asshole." But you didn't.

You accuse, and I inquire.... Does that look like escalation to you?

Now if you think for one minute that I'm going to sit here and take this kind of bullshit without a response, you've got another think coming.

Now, let me ask you again... Where's the beef?

quote myself because everything I've said has been deleted.
The third part is relax some more.

Seeing that that phrase was directed at you, DUDE, I can only imagine that you're having some serious gender confusion issues right about now.


But, far be it from me to JUDGE you, right?
