Honkey cop murders brown motorist

[Joe Guy]

I am talking about the Caucasian nose.
I still going use the word and it means what I say it means. I am going to use it every day. No one controls me.

It takes a brave man to have the courage of his convictions and use the word "honky" every day. It's people like you, liberty, who will help us win the Arctic war.

It would be funny if it wasn’t so sickeningly pathetic

You might as well change your handle, lib, 'cause I found a much better one for you...

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”
“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”
“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that's all.”

No sorry, I have to disappoint you ; for one I am too old and two only a fool goes to war when you know you going to lose. We couldn’t even defeat North Vietnam and you guys think we could beat the Russians.

Now the honkey ass crack head mother fucker is ready to beat the war drums for the death my grandchildren, but not his own. They will hide out somewhere probably the same place he hid during Vietnam.

I think lib's on/to something. This entire matter of learning interesting, not to say false factoids (which indubitably means pulling statements out of one's arse; a skill that I too have mastered), deserves much closer study.

I'm still trying to work out why breasts are called 'hooters' by the less educated classes. Has anyone seen a bosom that looks like a nose? And then there's 'rhino' - an obviously nose-related word that somehow means "cash" (as in the old zoo joke, "this here's a rhino, the richest animal in Africa. 'Rhino' meaning money and 'ceros' meaning piles - hence, piles of money". You have to pronounce ceros as "sore-ass"). "Horny" has a clear nasal origin - or perhaps one should say 'blocked up' rather than clear, given the association Woody (uhuh!) Allen's report of waking from sleep with a face like a glazed doughnut.

An Israeli scientist has apparently figured out that there are 14 different kinds of Caucasian noses. Why he spent time on this is unclear, but it's interesting anyway...

According to reports, he looked at 1,800 photos of noses of people in Israel, Holland, Belgium, and France to figure out the shape similarities. You can click here to see examples and breakdowns of each of the honker types.

My nose? Well, honestly, I'm not sure it's represented in the study at all. I guess I'm "fleshy" but it doesn't really seem that accurate. But, then, he didn't look at any noses from Iran (which is where about half of my genes come from), so that would probably explain that.

The internal link in that old article no longer (or thinner) takes us to the page it originally referred to. However, for those interested, here's a working link to the Daily Fail article with pictures.

Caucasian? That's a thought-evoking word in itself. Caucasian? I always thought it had something to do with Peter Sellers' role in The Millionairess. Or is it because Corky the Clown has a big red nose? This calls Rudolf into question; he may not be rangifer tarandus but rhino tarandus after all.

We can only hope that lib googles some more.

which came first, the use of hooters for breasts, or the restaurant chain that featured tight tee shirts on the waitresses? I go with the latter; it's pretty common in English to use unrelated words to cover sexualized body parts, from peter for penis to pussy for vagina; I'd bet the restaurant just coined a term that caught on (I never remember hearing breasts called hooters before).

[Lord Jim]

I thought the cops were supposed to let them go rather than shoot, can’t you guys be consistent.

Okay so, (as I kind of suspected) the whole "point" of this thread is to say something along the lines of, "If you were outraged by a cop shooting a guy he knew was unarmed in the back, (as happened in South Carolina) but you're not outraged by a cop shooting at an armed perp who was shooting at him, (and endangering the public in general as well) then you're a 'hypocrite'"...

Point not well taken...

Facts matter; I don't have any trouble at all distinguishing between those two types of scenarios...(I doubt many people here do...)

And there's absolutely nothing hypocritical or "inconsistent" about viewing completely different kinds of situations differently...

[Crackpot]

But the person but in liberty’s twisted little mind since they are both about a white police officer and a black man they are therefore exactly the same and that perception is not in the least bit racist.

[Burning Petard]

I find Gen't Mead's cited 'scientific' study interesting at another level. "14 different kinds of Caucasian noses. . . . he looked at 1,800 photos of noses of people in Israel, Holland, Belgium, and France

Caucasian noses, but looked at no one in the region of the Caucasus. The topic of 'race' in contemporary human interactions is full of fascinating contradictions. Personally, I claim to be of mixed race/ethnicity. I have Aftrican and Asian ancestors: I am descended from Lucy and the Peking man.

Don’t you remember you fat little racist Honkey; Al Sharpton said anytime a white kills a black it should be a crime regardless of the situation. You are just proving how racist you by going against him. You are a secret member of the KKK.

The restaurant’s name was inspired by the May 17, 1980 episode of Saturday Night Live, which was hosted by Steve Martin. During his monologue, titled “I Believe,” he said, “I believe it's derogatory to refer to a woman's breasts as ‘boobs,’ ‘jugs,’ ‘winnebagos,’ or ‘golden bozos…’ and that you should only refer to them as ‘hooters.’”

Martin used the term before SNL. There's a Youchewb video. Hooters, the restaurant, was not created until three years later.

The Reverend Al Sharpton, huh?

Well, if you want to cite directives by 'religious' people, here's one from Arnaud Amaury, a 12th century French abbot, that is far, far older:

"Caedite eos.  Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius."

Literal translation .... "Kill 'em all.  Let God sort them out."
(a direct reference to the disciple Paul's writing in 2 Tim 2:19 ... "Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: 'The Lord knows those who are his' ")

Well Meade--I have no reason to dispute it, but I do not recall the Steve Martin bit; however, it does sound like something he would do.

How many black people were involved in the shoot-out in the linked article in your opening post?

I just noticed this; Lib, when did you start to care about what Al Sharpton says? I have never seen this quote (so I don't know if it's true), but ever since his Tawana Brawley days, I've pretty much ignored what he says. If it bothers you so much, I would suggest you o the same thing; it's not like he's the president saying asinine things.

[liberty]

I forgot to mention that I have been presenting the liberal perspective here. If this cop had been attacked al by Sharpton you would assumed he was guilty of at least of negligence.
I can’t believe I have wasted this much time here.

By the way honkey means Caucasian, the long nosed hairy people of Europe, North Africa, Western Asia and Southern Asia. Reference: Liberty plan b forum 2018

.....Has anyone seen a bosom that looks like a nose?

If you use your imagination, they all kinda look like noses without vents or cartilage.

[Lord Jim]

I forgot to mention that I have been presenting the liberal perspective here.

Lib, it's been pretty obvious in this thread, starting with the subject line, that you were doing an impersonation of what you imagine the "liberal perspective" on this to be, so that "clarification" really wasn't necessary...

First of all, I stand to be corrected, but I certainly don't recall anybody here expressing any great affection or respect for Al Sharpton, regardless of their ideological orientation... the only one I can think of who had good things to say about Sharpton was "mediator" back at the Cyber Soap Box...(a white libertarian who decided to pretend that he was a black militant...)

That having been said, it is certainly true that there are some of the liberal persuasion on this board whose reflexive, default, go-to position whenever we have a discussion regarding a news story about a confrontation between a cop (not necessarily even a white cop) and a person of color is to immediately assume that the cop is in the wrong, before they've even looked at the specific evidence involved... (Those folks wound up looking mighty wrong after the full investigation into the Ferguson case...)

But there are also liberals on this board for whom this is not the case, and there's at least one poster here who would never be considered a liberal, (in fact he's a Trump supporter) who also pretty much defaults to the "it's the cop's fault" position automatically when we have these discussions...

So as is so often the case, you are once again over-generalizing, and painting with way too broad a brush...

I am not disputing that, but we are also related to caterpillars, cats and cows since all life on earth started form a single source. Do you eat beef and are you cannibal who eats your relatives?

I am more closely related to my cousins and my distance horse culture relatives of the steppes than the people in Africa and that is just a fact.

I am separated from Africa by at least fifty and more likely sixty or seventy thousands years. I am only separated from my people of the steppes by less than ten thousand years. I am more closely related to the people of Russia than Africa.
