The only thing that shut him up was getting sick of trying to reason with you, Crucible.
Since you want to be on here so desperately, you should try acting like a normal person....or perhaps you could get permission to post in the back alley with that other odd ball.

Fake hypocrites aren't really hypocrites. So that means that they only appear to be hypocrites. :idunno:
Maybe this place isn't "god forsaken" afterall.

You're simply speaking out of anger. We have all sorts of opinions on this site. Maybe you are only hearing what you want to hear. If we were all fakes and said the same things, then you would be one of a kind. In fact, you aren't. God's UNTruth thinks everyone is against her, too. So does Meshak.
Or, in other words, one who finds fault with anyone who finds fault with them. Oops, that's what you do.
Well, I'm the one who suggested you try to act normal so you could successfully come back under another assumed name. That makes me an abettor.
I guess....especially when they keep coming back for more.
I suggest, once again, that you try to get yourself under control. You know you want to dialogue, but can't seem to pull it off with that temper of yours. I have a sister like that...and it's no fun...for those around her or for her.
I thought you left.

He needs some attention. Do you happen to know how old this guy is? I used to think he was older, but now I have my doubts.
I think hes late 20s or early 30s. I think he said a while back he was 29 on one of his other screenames.
Nah, I don't know.
Clearly you like it here.

He thinks he's making her miserable by continuing to post here.
I don't know about you, Angel, but I've seen all kinds, as I'm sure Sherman has.
Are you flustered yet?
Me neither.

Back again, huh Crucible?
Alcohol or Drugs?
See, that was you dodging a straight forward question. You said,
I asked what you had in mind.
Now I could have pointed out a few simple facts. The black community has been talking about and trying to address the gun culture and machismo, the disintegration of family structure and the effects of poverty, along with racism, struggling with the impact on all of those and more for a while. BLM was put together to specifically address one of those problems. One that isn't as complicated and can be more readily and powerfully corrected. Because when you have a number of serious problems its reasonable to address what you can in any order that gives you a chance to diminish the pile.
But instead I gave you an opportunity. I asked what you had in mind. And you did this... Short on ideas and long on outrage you decided to make another unsupportable comment. Facts don't scare me and I don't run from them. Questions seem to bring out the rabbit in you though.
This place is fine for people who know how to approach it and can find the value it has to offer. I've made a few friends here I wouldn't have known otherwise, gotten a master's class in dialogue relating to people from all sorts of places, honed ideas and strengthened positions. I was a lot less settled theologically when I started here, and a little scattershot in terms of political philosophy, comes to it.
This place isn't good for people who plug their emotions into everything they take seriously and can't separate themselves from the argument. It isn't good for people who are largely angry, because there will be too many people willing to exploit that to their own advantage. It isn't good for anyone who lacks personal discipline or maturity, unless they're looking for them.
You have an issue, a character issue that can only be worked out by you in your real life. It was evidenced in your unwillingness to take more than a passing responsibility for your actions, underscored by some of the language you've used and your inability to honor the word you gave, your word, when you signed on. You broke the rules and instead of taking your seat you took a pseudonym, and another, and another.
As with any community there are people with all sorts of ideas. The central one here is as simple as John 3:16. Beyond that, people have a way of differing and the thing that matters is how we differ. A number of people can do it reasonably and sincerely, understand there are all sorts of positions that won't be reconciled this side of the grave and live with doing their best to present the truth as they understand it and listen for a truth they might have missed..
The next tier have trouble with that, get rattled, frequently compromise their witness and treat the nonsalvific as though the fate of the world was riding on it, instead of their temper.
The bottom rung use whatever they believe in like a hammer and rarely evidence more than the dregs of compassion.
The thing is, now and again you get someone who comes in angry and full of...purpose, and they either get their first earful of reasonable, encouraging counter or they burn out and get put on the bench, but it changes them for the better. The stop, inventory, and make painful, necessary steps to do and be better. I've seen variations on that theme too.
No, that's not true. Until you can at least face the consequences for your actions honestly you aren't going to learn anything that matters.
You stepped way over the line and came back without modifying the impulse or understanding that you were reasonably under more, not less scrutiny during your effective probationary period. It was an opportunity you squandered.
That you don't see how embarrassing that should be to you tells me how far you have to go.
So what's happening is that schools that are overwhelmingly comprised of minorities get additional funding and if you stop being that sort of school you don't get the additional funds. The idea was likely that those schools tended to be in poorer communities, but it's a litmus that should be challenged in court. Seems inherently discriminatory to me.

What heritage?
Pride in which particular part of 'white' history did you have in mind?
