Status: offline 		Yep, that's me, Mr. Creative. As I mentioned earlier, the pm was deleted. What I neglected to say was that the content, word for word, was transcribed to a few select members of the site who also have you on their list of favorites. You may not know it, but you have several members who can read you like a bad novel.
Incidently, what would I need bottom line proof of if I was indeed creating everything as you accuse me of? What exactly are you asking me to provide proof of?
You certainly can't expect me to provide proof of a pm that never was sent can you? Chew on that one for awhile.

Get some help.  Might prescribe the same to your supposed fan club.

Tell me, did you tell the one who  unexpectedly came back in your life one thing and then change your mind and do another as you have done on here? Is that why you lost her in the first place? Perhaps commitment was involved? Maybe a promise ring followed by a broken promise? Women are not fond of being lied to you know. But that seems to be one of your stronger traits.
By the way, why are we still conversing? I understood that I was ignored by all like a broken record and you were part of that to. Is that just another fabrication on your part?

Then maybe you two should start dating, they say opposites attract don't they?

Status: offline 		I played basketball in college and many of my teammates were black and close friends of mine.  I was always considerate to their issues with racism and would never even think to joke about things like...they sometimes did however, and it often made me feel uncomfortable because I never found it funny.  My parents came from Croatia where their families were opressed for centuries by partisans and communists.  My father's father was taken away right in front of him when he was a little boy.  He never saw his dad ever again!  Probably ended up burried in some pit with thousands of other innocent people during the World War.  My dad has never asked for special treatment and has always taught his children to respect all others regardless of race, color, religion or whatever.  It takes a lot of nerve not to be bitter which, in my view, makes him a pretty **** honorable man.  My dad came to this country with $20 in his pocket.  He took a lot of ridicule and resistance from ignorant people.  Despite all that, he bacame successful through hard work and perserverence.  I respect that and hope EVERYBODY learns from it, I know I have.  He never felt sorry for himself, asked for handouts or expected special treatment just because he and his ancestors had it tough.  I learned a lot from my dad and I love him very much.  We don't express that too often, but we just know it.  And one of the things he taught me was that everybody deserves a chance, therefore I never judge based on what someone looks like, but rather by his/her actions, attitude and overall personality.  Then I make the determination of whether or not I want to make that person a part of my life.

Status: offline 		Some people push the racism envelope a little too far.  It shouldn't be a sin when someone is just having fun and brings up race for comedic purposes.  Amongst real men it is often tolerated.  One of my closest and oldest friends just loves a good black joke and Paul is as black as they come.  He fishes with me a good bit in the summer on the Yough.  It's when race is spoken of with hatred and malice is when it should be banned.  It is the hate that is wrong, not the simple mentioning of race.  When I was young I often felt uncomfortable mentioning race around people of color. Getting old and a lifetime of interacting with blacks made me more comfortable with race, especially around the blacks in my life.  Racism is racism only if hate is involved, take out the hate and there is no racism.

I don't see anything wrong with the labels "________-american" it shows that people are proud of their roots.  A common respect for one another should be displayed, unless of course someone gives you reason to feel otherwise towards them.  IMO the only true Americans are those which their roots came from this land.  Today, this land is a melting pot of many different ethnicities which makes this country unique and great.
