I'm sorry I took "I associate it more with people that are closer to "ghetto as fuck" as pretty fuckin offensive. Hence I replied to not only answer your question but to respond to something I found was very offensive just as you did now.

As for blanketing, hmmm i seem to remember you naming this thread "why do black people like panthers so much" You didn't say people. You didn't say some black people. you said "black people". Sorry don't see how you can say that you weren't blanketing...

I could understand it if the movement was still up and running, but really? every fucking rapper on the planet has some huge panther tattoo on his arm, black women always seem to have them, if you go into a black persons house, there is inevitably a silk painting of a panther.

So don't say you didn't fuckin say that or blanket. I would have gladly answered the question without insulting your intelligence if i didn't think you were blanketing. Think of a different way to say it so you don't sound like a complete asshole.

I never said these things. I have also seen plenty of black people, in new jersey, where I'm from, but I made ND references for ND people, and threw in a few celebrities for google image referencers. I did not make any blanket statements, I rarely make blanket statements because interent can always find an exception you are implying blanket statements when all I did was ask a question.

you never said ND people how the hell would i know. and as you see above I did not imply you did so by writing the words you chose.

Here's what i do think about you though:
In setreotypical woman fashion, particularly minority women who have been force fed this "i've been oppressed" bullshit for years, you saw a topic about something that could have potentially been insulting to you race/creed/culture. Then, without reading or getting the facts you proceeded to dredge the internet for a list of things that would disprove the insulting information I was (not in fact) sharing with our internet community.

Then you went on a rant about how my insignifegant personal experience is just testimony to my obviously low Intelligence, and how I simply could not be a person of consequence because I ask questions, something a intelligent person would not have to do.

But you did (probably not realizing it) answer my original question.

So thank you.

I know that I answered your original question. Didn't plan on not answering your question.

Everyone is welcome to have their own opinion as you are. Believe it or not I do believe you when you say you rarely blanket. But you did in this case and I called you out on it. If I took it in an offensive way that I shouldn't have, I'm sorry but I'm sure looking back you can see how I arrived at that conclusion.

By the way, I know that I personally have not been oppressed, nor was a "force fed" to me. I think that we don't need affirmative action right now. Didn't vote for Obama like most minorities did. I just speak my mind just as you did and I guess most stereotypical women do "especially minority women right?". Wow another blanket statement.

Did not say anything about your lack of experience attributing to your seemingly low intelligence other than saying get a brain and a life since you would blanket the topic so broadly. Its good to ask questions but not in an offensive way. Thanks for your insight as to who you think I am though.

BTW I don't race my shit on the track so your attempt to try making fun is at a loss. I just drive it on the road. I save gas and slide around during the winter with my 4 cylinder and that's fine with me.

And your welcome for answering your question.

Ya i see the swastika only as a symbol of of strength aswell......

Sorry but if the black panther was only seen as a symbol for the black panther group it would be kinda strange for white people to have it too now wouldn't it? can't say i've ever seen a black person with a swastika.........:icon_scratch:

Ok. I gotta say somethin cuz frankly I think this shit is ridiculous. Being the black woman that I am, I can say that out of all the black people I know, be it friends or family, only a few have any memorabilia of a panther. Not everything that has to do with a black panther has to be associated with the racist group black panthers. A black panther can be seen as a symbol of strength. Plus, the people that I know that like black panthers just like them because they think animal is cool, just like some people like white tigers or whatever. And by the way the few that do like black panthers are NOT ghetto as fuck and yes I know people who are ghetto as fuck. Interesting that you would think that it would have to do with the movement.

You want symbolism?

Also, black people are not the only ones who have black panther tattoos. Ever think of that? Just because you saw a few black supposedly "ghetto as fuck" guys who have them just doesn't mean that every single black person, or "only people ghetto as fuck" like panthers because they stand for the black panther group. Fuck I think that panthers are cool just like I like tigers or snakes or whatever. And I think everyone in this forum can say that I am not the typical "ghetto girl". Get a fuckin life and a brain.

Well haven't slept all night, as my wife last night decided to tell me that she has been sleeping with 3 different guys starting before we got fucking married up to last light. What the fuck, why did we get married then. And to really put the icing on the cake, she's like I never lied to you about it, you just never asked. Thats fucking great, I guess I should have just asked her weekely for the last 2 years if she were fucking someone else.

Yet what is more interesting is she does not want to seperate, she wants our lives to still go on as normal but have a "open marrige". WHAT..... why did we fucken get married, I thought tha point of doing that was to commit yourself to ONLY each other, but I guess its got a different meaning to her. She claims she still loves me but she does not want to be intimate with me, wants our life to be still normal but she does not want to fuck me but fuck some other guys. How the hell could that work, does that ever seem fair or make sense. What the hell did I do to deserve this?

I want to strangle her and burn all her shit, but I have self control so that will never happen, but I gunna have her ass out of my house by the end of the day. I have not been able to sleep since she told me and I gotta work soon, fun.

Ok, i think you should totally get ride of this bitch. She obviously doesn't love you. When you love someone you want to be intimate with them. You don't want to go fuck someone else. The only reason why she wants an "open" marriage is so she doesn't feel bad when she goes screwin around. whatever you do SAY NO to it because she'll just be like "well you did it too and you were ok with it so i did it more".

Don't try and get her back by cheating on her too cuz she'll just be like oh you did that so i can. Overall the situation is really messed up and obviously you see her true colors. sucks it happened after you got married. but seriously i say dump tha bitch. i think we all can say that no one deserves that.

I didn't see these till now, very nice sweetie

And Mazdagirl...you sound even more selfish because you think that all because you want to drink/go to a party that you have a right to not have smoke around you. What if I like smoking and dislike drinking? Should we ban drinking because drunk people can get violent and hurt others?

You sound just as selfish too, you said "what if I like smoking and disklike drinking" what does that sound like, ummm selfish, don't be pointing the finger at being selfish when you are just as guilty of it as anyone else is. and on top of it, bartenders and bouncers are suppose to watch out that people that are drinking to excess should get kicked out, you don't get kicked out from smoking too much and hurting others. but if you drink and start crap with other people, ya you are going to get asked to be removed. big difference.

Mazdagurl: I don't think smokers "wanna take over the good bars" at all.. and I know a lot of people who only smoke when they go out. Just like a lot of people only get drunk when they go out, they don't do it at home, it's part of WHY they go out to bars.

To answer your question, I don't go out to "have fun" and dance.. so I'm not familiar enough with the whole 'go out and go dancing' scene to know if we even have places that are nonsmoking anymore. I don't think there's anything left locally, so unfortunately you are kind of SOL for now. There have been a few dance clubs around town that were smoke-free, I think most recently the old Pistol Pete's in Moorhead.. Atomic? Never went there, not sure on the name. It's closed now anyway. Possibly because most people still go to places that allow smoking. I'm all for non-smoking venues.. they just don't seem to last long, or do as much business as smoking-allowed venues. I was pretty sure The Hub was non-smoking.. I've only been inside once, to see my little brother's group playing.. and didn't see anybody smoking, but that was in one of the little divided off areas. , so I don't know for sure.

I can understand where you are coming from and I know a lot of people dont really understand where I am coming from. With pistol petes isn't closed it just moved to west fargo and is now a country bar (which doesn't do me much justice.)With the hub it started out non-smoking and people just started smoking and turned it into a smoking club and no one had the balls to enforce the non-smoking. If I had the money, I would totally build a bar that would have a venue for smoking and a venue for non-smoking where everyone would be able to be happy and have fun. Seems like the smartest business plan to me. But yeah the above reason with the hub is kinda why it feels like to me the non-smoker that smokers take over bars. And I dont think its too fair. If i was a smoker, i'd be bitching about the ban probably but I would level with those who don't want me to blow smoke in there face and i'd take my break outside.

Ok. I wouldn't be bitching about this if there was a non-smoking place that I could dance at. You name ONE place that was non-smoking that opened up in fargo that was like the hub, or g's, or bucks, or the OB where you could actually dance with a lot of space and it wasn't the size of your thumb. I would say no shit that smaller bars weren't able to handle it with non-smoking especially if they didn't advertise right or manage it correctly. there is more that goes into you losing customers and business than SMOKING. People lose business because they don't advertise enough and give the customers a reason to stay there and they have given up. A lot of people who smoke or go out to just drink wont really share my perspective because they dont really care about places they wouldn't really go to if their was smoking there or not. Yeah there are people who don't smoke and smoke when they are having fun. There are people who smoke normally and hate going out to bars that are smoking as they rather smoke outside. There are all kinds of people. smoking bans doesn't mean that cigarettes are going to be outlawed. as we know there aint no way that's gonna happen they already tried it once. PS food bans are different than smoking bans. Yeah they are both your choice, but obviously bad food isn't imposed directly on other people who are around you like smoking is. If the ban doesn't happen, yeah whatever its will just stay the way it is but at least I can say that I didn't sit back and let it happen by not voting.

eh, quick quote from a local business owner.

There are 121 liquor licenses in the city of Fargo, and out of that 121 there are only 19 bars that you would be “forced to go into” that are totally smoking; the other 102 bars/restaurants are either smoke free or you have a choice, as with our establishment. This whole nonsmoking battle is simply about those 19 bars in Fargo that don’t offer you a choice. Who cares? You have another 102 places that you can go to have a steak or a beer.

Taken straight from yesnoyes.org most of those 102 are RESTAURANTS. you name one of them that is an actual BAR, bar. The dancing bars here are pretty much G's, bucks, the hub, and the OB. Hooligans is really the only non-smoking bar of note is Hooligans and for people like me who like to go out and do more than just drink when we go out we are S.O.L. I agree with TJams. Like I said before, every business has standards. Why should one type of business be treated differently than every other business. Who cares? I do because I happen to be someone who wants to just more than just sit and drink. I wanna be able to go to a popular bar that has good music to dance and listen to and be able to breath. Yeah I'm selfish but most American's are. Like I said, nothing against smokers but I deserve to breath clean air and not have to be cooped up at home because smokers wanna take over the good bars when they could just take their smoke break right outside just like any other establishment that is non-smoking.

PS I think the only reason why MN has lost business is because Fargo doesn't have a ban

Ok... I'm sorry but if you and I were chillin in a bar and you were smoking and I was chewing.. and I spit chew in your drink and made you drink it you cannot tell me you wouldn't be pissed. I don't know about you but when I go to a bar most people dont care if they just blow smoke in your face. How is it fair that all smokers can go out and party but non-smokers can't. If you talk about the Constitution, it talks about democracy not only for a certain people but for everyone. There ARE people who dont like breathing in shitty air so they should have the same rights as anyone else. Just because there are people who don't like smoke in public does that mean that they should be fuckin hobbits for the rest of their life that never go out in public? There are people out there that can't help that they are allergic to smoke or smoke-sensitive, so that means they can't have fun too when they go out? I happen to be with someone that if they get too much smoke they actually could die and they have gone to the hospital for it after going out. I've known people who have died of SECOND HAND smoke. If smoking is your own thing by all means do it in your own private place or do it away or outside the bar. Or even have a smoking part of the bar for people. Actually i agree that there should be a smoking part of a bar where there is smoking allowed but also a non-smoking part for those you dont. I bet those who are against the smoking ban still go to restaurants that had the ban and they eat shit up. There are tons of places you can't smoke and yet people still go. I can understand why smokers are pissed that they wouldn't be able to smoke in bars because its where they want to release stress but they have to look at the other side too. I know many people are saying go to moorhead and party but pretty positive if you wanna go dance and listen to dance music there is NO WHERE in moorhead so what does that leave? Fargo. Lets face it. Every business has standards to abide by. They are set up by laws made primarily by a governing body. Thats the american way pretty much. Things change. Yeah, the ban would be good for health primarily but thats not why I'm voting no. I just want my right back to have fun when I go out and not feel like I'm gonna die of smoke inhalation. I have nothing against smokers smoking, hell do what you want with your life i dont care, but other people have to smell the shit too and it is MY personal right and freedom to breath clean air in a public place where I wanna party. Just my opinion.

I'd like an explanation for how he's racist. I couldn't get people to agree that a white person calling black people monkeys was racist, yet they agree Kanye is racist with no evidence.

First off, calling a black person a monkey is racist and pretty derogatory (I speak from experience in hearing it myself). Second, Its pretty obvious that Kanye has something against white people which is really dumb. He pretty much thinks that they owe him something just because of his skin color and I'm sorry to give respect you have to get it. Hell, just because I'm black doesn't mean that I think that all white people should give me money for slavery. I mean WTF that was soooooo a few hundred years ago. Black people can be just as racist as white people can. Plus I think someone who is a professional artist who says "white people should make white music" is pretty racist. anyone should make whatever music they want too not just a certain kind because of their skin color. I can't stand people who fuckin think they are the shit because of their skin color no matter what tha fuck color you are. No one is better than anyone. pisses me off..

Ok, I gotta reply on this shit. I hate Kanye's fuckin guts. Yeah he's got a few good songs but he is the biggest piece of shit that is walking the earth. He gives black people a bad name and speaking as a black person he makes me want to fuckin puke. He's racist and he thinks he's the shit and everyone knows he's a worthless prick that needs to jump off a bridge. No one owes anything to him and I would never be caught did giving my hard earned money to him for a damn concert with him bitchin and complainin.
