Did you know?
Did you know that listen and silent use the same letters?
Do you know that the words race car spelled backwards
Still spells race car?
And that eat is the only word that, if you take the first letter and move it to the last, it spells its past tense ate?
And have you noticed that if you rearrange the letters in illegal immigrants, and add just a few more letters, it spells: Go home you free-loading, benefit-grabbing, resource-sucking, baby-making, non-English-speaking jackasses and take those other hairy-faced, rag-headed, sandal-wearing, bomb-making, camel-riding, goat-shagging, raggedy-ass Bastards with you.
How weird is that?

(34,107 posts)I just copied your reply. I have seen this and it always angers me and I have never been able to come up with an appropriate response. May I use it? I could even credit you if you like, it is perfect and I love it so much!
flvegan
(64,407 posts)You only need credit me if being insulted by a vegan makes it all the worse on them, LOL!
MuseRider
(34,107 posts)as a vegetarian I can only imagine a vegan would send them over the edge! Livin' large on veggies in beef country! (Except for Mabel in the Chinese Food Restaurant we frequent, she is a real charmer, there is nothing I can't get there without the meat, the only place I can get this wonderful service without a sideways glare)
yes it is so appropriate. Hope you are doing well in Kansas. I'm leaving Texas soon, heading for Los Angeles. My grandson is in Overland Park, so I will be visiting a lot! What a journey it has been so far!
MuseRider
(34,107 posts)Wow, on to LA. What a culture shock it will be when you visit from there.
lol

"Stressed" spelled backwards is "Desserts"

Until he returns, don't contact me.
mwdem

And with a little more work, the same letters can be combined to spell "intelligent", but it takes more work.

(27,787 posts)Jesus was a middle eastern immigrant, spoke no English, wore sandals, hung around with criminals and prostitutes ... and oh, he was a Jew too!!
Then point out that God spelled backward is Dog. Radar spelled backward is still radar. And that Jesus healed the sick and never asked for a co-pay, or claimed "pre-existing condition".
mwdem
(4,031 posts)Thanks JoePhilly. (I lived in Philly a few years ago!)

(16,402 posts)[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]ALL of his emails skip my inbox and are directed straight to that folder, which goes bold to tell me there's something new in it.
When I'm in the mood, I take a look to see if it's about family, or whether it's just one of his libertarian screeds or forwards. If the former, I respond appropriately. If the latter, I just let it sit.
My blood pressure and my inner serenity are very happy with this arrangement.
mwdem

(4,031 posts)he's tried it with my (now grown) children, but I've raised them better than that. He won't give up!

I was glad we were not of Irish descent (we are). We'd be feeling the same shit.

(15,189 posts)Are the Indians sending us back to Europe? US, you know the Indian killing, buffalo slaughtering, land stealing, speaking with foreign tongues, disease ridden, disease spreading, assholes with a shitload of anchor babies, and guns?
mwdem
(4,031 posts)He is an idiot.
Politicalboi
(15,189 posts)Never mind.
mwdem
(4,031 posts)See!
Politicalboi
(15,189 posts)He's got his money, his house, his family. He's got his, now leave. LOL!
mwdem
(4,031 posts)....and he doesn't vote! Ever!! Vietnam Vet, knew what was happening there, now this!

Our dad was a silent bigot.

(2,533 posts)They had lax border policies that allowed the migrant workers to "do the jobs Americans won't do"...
And they never-EVER- go after the employers of undocumented workers....
Add it up & remember-wasn't it Ronnie that passed the amnesty program. To me tyhis has been a long held plan by the greedy to squash American labor...It has worked all too well.
As Democrats we tend to look at the human aspect- but I do believe the Republican policy of bringing them here to drive down wages should be pointed out whenever the topic comes up.
That good for you?
mwdem
(4,031 posts)But he never votes. As posted before, he's a VietNam vet, racist as all hell. I don't know why his panties are in a bunch over this. He has always lived in N.C., now S.C. and will never leave.

Speck Tater
(10,618 posts)When I get crap like that from an acquaintance or family member I just delete without comment and without reply. Realistically, nothing you can say will change anything, so why raise your blood pressure over it?
mwdem
(4,031 posts)But this was sent to my brother from the father of the Avette Brothers, who I would hope would not subscribe to this crap!

And then forward it to your mom (if she has e-mail) so she can have one of those little talks with him.
mwdem
(4,031 posts)she would probably approve if she was still around...I've had an uphill battle.
