chess is hard when all the pieces are black....

[wesw]

the black Iranian bishops move to threaten the black pawns of the black Saudi king.

the black knights of both sides urge their trusty black steeds to battle, heedless of the danger.



...when I was young, people would say things like..., "

"turn the desert into a sheet of glass..." or
"kill em all and let God sort em out..."

...and I would think and tell them how horrible and irresponsible and shallow those sentiments were....

what a sad, sorry world we live in and are a part of.

well, I hope when we all begin to slaughter one another again, we will leave enough of our good earth unharmed to support the survivors.

7-8 billion is just too many folks for our poor earth to support anyway.....

go north young man..... RUN NORTH!!!!

[wesw]

this is big. I m surprised that it has garnered so little attention.

islam is at war with itself...., again.

the Saudi monarchy against the Iranian mullahs.

lord help us. I hope they both lose.

salaam...

It is unfortunate that you chose to use "black" as a synonym for evil.

Is it possible that this conflict can work to our advantage? Hard to say.

[wesw]

well, I thought of that but I didn t mean black people, so I decided not restrict myself for the sake of political correctness.

nighttime can be scary, it is dark

daytime is bright and cheery, it is light.

are we no longer allowed to say black hearted scoundrel?

what about being in the black, business wise? is it ok because black is good in that case?

I can t be bothered to calculate every word or phrase. if I meant it in a racist way I would be ashamed, but I did not, so I am not.

it s unfortunate that we have to censor words in America.

[dgs49]

I'm not advocating censorship or even self-censorship, just awareness.

Your point is worth making.

[wesw]

well..., thank you.

[Econoline]

"Chess is hard when all the pieces are the same color..." would fit in the subject line, and would make the same point, more clearly.

(Just sayin')

[wesw]

it wouldn t be more clear because I wanted to show that both sides were evil, as DGS49 observed.

I disagree
