An Argument in Favor of an Apology From Tarlam!

[texaspackerbacker]

I wasn't gonna bring this up, Tank, but since you persist in your lies about me, you leave me no choice.

More than once you bragged about how when you were a high school DB, you could cover "any nigger receiver" in the state.

Ironic how in typical "extreme liberal" fashion, you falsely accuse others of what you are guilty of.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Tex, no disrespect but you're an old man. Your memory isnt good. You cant even remember who Red was on JSO. Me? I can still remember as far back as when Bretsky wrote that he never smoked weed in college.

You used the term more than once. Where’s TH? We gotta ask him. I aint lying.

Btw, Tex, I shut down Darren Charles, not "N-Word" reciever. As an extreme liberal, the N-Word is not part of my vocabulary.

[Charles Woodson]

Btw, Viva La Vida will be released in the USA on June 17, 2008.

If you do not go buy a copy, you are not my friend.

well in order to lose a friend, one must have one

[texaspackerbacker]

It ain't in my vocabulary either, and unlike you, I'm not a drugged out chronic liar. You got the context right. It was while you were ranting about shutting down Charles that you expanded it to "any nigger receiver" in the state.

Maybe you can plead that you were in a drug stupor so you don't lose your "extreme liberal" credentials. Actually, though, your extreme lib status is safe. Liberals had no compunction about calling Condoleeza Rice a "pickaninny", so I guess your "any nigger receiver" thing is pretty mild compared to that.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

If you happen to run into th, just ask him about it.

[texaspackerbacker]

I wish he would come in here. I had probably more respect for TH87 than any other poster in any forum--opposition posters, anyway.

There was a liberal who wouldn't shrink from a discussion of the issues--unlike the candy-ass pansies of leftists in here (except for the praiseworthy Ziggy, of course).

[K-town]

Tank, I'm tempted to write off your post as sarcasm, but you never know.

This political correctness crap is the height of idiocy.

People who trumpet Freedom of Speech in all other areas--as well they should--suddenly whine and even want to take away our ABSOLUTE RIGHT to call any damn ethnic trash any damn thing we please.

My own particular standard is to refer to any bunch of foreigners who have consistently been loyal allies of ours with reverence, respect, and dignity.

And the ones who have had the audacity to hope to oppose us ........ the JAPS, the KRAUTS, the stinking Commies, the filthy ragheads, and any enemy shit eaters I may have left out? Well, they are what they are. Frogs? A close call there. They never actually opposed us in open war. On the other hand, they are what they are too.

Tarlam, this, and your stance on homosexuality, I have new found respect for your posting--assuming it isn't all sarcasm--there's apparently some of that going around.

In naming all of the countries and/or ethnicities that have opposed America, you forgot the (add your preferred ethnic slur here) Mexicans in 1846, the slanty-eyed Chinese (1950-1953) and the snaggle-toothed Limeys (1775-1783, 1812-1815).

But really, how about the worst offenders, the absolute SCUM who most threatened America - the goddam Confederate States of America.
Ungrateful traitors. If Washington hadn't sent Delaware and Virginia Line regiments and New Englander Nathaniel Greene, all those Georgians and Carolinians (and the other Confederate states that would follow) would STILL be chugging the British sausage.

Anyhoo, I agree on your premise of freedom of speech as far as calling out ethnic trash (or homosexuals, or foreigners, et al). How do you feel about someone calling you a red-necked, peckerwood, ofay, in-bred, fish-belly white, trailer-trash honky?

If you can dish it out, I'm confident you can also take it.

Also, about those Frogs...if Ben Franklin doesn't get the French to send guns, ships and money in 1778, we'd still be part of a decaying, corrupt monarchy. Granted, the Frogs were acting in their own self-interest, as well as hatred of the British. But "Ends, not means." Right?

did you know that rednecks were "bloods" before there were "bloods". they stole the symbol from us.

During the revolutionary war. the mountain men wore red hankirchif around their necks to distinguish themselves. they became known as rednecks.....and they kick some "red coat" ass!! a country boy can survive!

[texaspackerbacker]

K-Town, I figured I covered the Korean, Vietnam, and Cold Wars by mentioning stinking Commies.

The others seemed too far back. If I had brought them up, I might have had to include Johnny Rebs too, and even though I'm born and bred Yankee, I kinda sympathize with them southern boys.

This is a nice story, but it is far from the truth.

The origins of redneck are Scottish and refer to supporters of the National Covenant and The Solemn League and Covenant, or "Covenanters", largely Lowland Presbyterians, many fled Scotland for Ulster (Northern Ireland) during persecutions by the British Crown.

Many Covenanters signed in their own blood and wore red pieces of cloth around their necks as distinctive insignia; hence the term "Red neck", which became slang for a Scottish dissenter.

Since many Ulster-Scottish settlers in America (especially the South) were Presbyterian, the term was applied to them, and then, later, their Southern descendants. One of the earliest examples of its use comes from 1830, when an author noted that "red-neck" was a "name bestowed upon the Presbyterians."

There is also possibly that it came from West Va. coal miners (wearing red bandanna to signify union support) or from those outside working plantations...red neck.

But, your story is a nice one, but has no basis whatsover in the truth...and is type of southern story told to justify the term and the confed flag as a source of southern pride.

Awesome wikipedia search. Probably would have been easier to just provide a link to it.

LOL, Ty got served. Serves him right for talking down to people like he knows everything!

I thought the term redneck was a term used to describe white people who worked out in the sun all day

Actually, didn't use wiki. I'm sure they used the source i used.

It would be...if i actually used wiki, but i didn't.

However, it does take knowledge to know when somebody is bsing...like you do with just about everything.
