from stop posting boring garbage we've already read October 27, 2005 - 16:44 boring!!!!! I'd rather read an article about this http://forums.yellowworld.org/showthread.php?t=26723 then your cut and paste from cnn or whatever. so these are two girls that look like mary-kate and ashley, called lynx and lamb that are a neo-nazi siging group. I'm not a racist I just thought that it was more entertaining to read about then Rosa Parks (reply to this comment)

From Nick Friday, October 28, 2005, 10:58 (Agree/Disagree?) Damn those chicks will be hot when they grow up. (No, I am not perving on 14 yr olds, I am just stating fact.) I was reading the doodles on the wall in the bar restroom last night and I came across one that said "Honor Rosa Parks. Put her face on food stamps." (reply to this comment)

From Nick Friday, October 28, 2005, 11:12 (Agree/Disagree?) OK, that was in no way supposed to voice my views on Rosa Parks. I just thought about that as I had read it last night. I guess it may have been in bad taste to post that here... (reply to this comment)

From Baxter Friday, October 28, 2005, 04:43 (Agree/Disagree?) That's pretty fucking funny! I particularly like the use of the swastika as a cattle brand. Does he teach his cows to goose-step as well? The bovine master race! It's a fucking funny thought! Sieg Moo!! Sieg Moo!!! Thank flying fuck people like Rosa Parks helped relegate morons like that to the margins of human society. Bar the historical gravity of such absurdity, it's a big fucking joke! (reply to this comment)

From moon beam Friday, October 28, 2005, 05:03 (Agree/Disagree?) They're story was aired in a documentory over here a while back, they're mum and her pals came accross as pretty sick individuals. Very disturbing people indeed, not funny at all. Esp. as children are involved, you could quite clearly see that they were being brainwashed and used. Rosa Parks RIP We have a lot to thank her for and I believe her wish of 'inspiring people' came true a million fold. (reply to this comment)

From Baxter Saturday, October 29, 2005, 00:53 (Agree/Disagree?) Oh here we go again! It's FUNNY coz I said so! In all honesty, they are only exercising their right to free speech, and it's important that people like them exist, because without the margins there is no moderate centre. Frankly, I couldn't give a shit. There are considerably worse things happening to children than these little nordic tarts wailing about Hess and white power. How different are they from all the other little pop-tart-nazis clogging the airwaves with all that saccharinised white-focused puke? I'm not gonna shed a tear for every child whose upbringing doesn't walk the party line, even if their ideology is repulsive to me. Or are we back to pretending that we're all above racism? When the blue-eyed Prussians and their pasty ilk are standing on my doorstep with AKs that ironically were probably manufactured by either Slavs or Chinese, then I'll consider the matter having extended into the unreasonable. Otherwise, fuck' em. Or are we off again thinking that our childhoods haven't had an ireversible effect on our thought-processes, or that we ourselves ever fully escape from the people our parents made us into?

From Fist Saturday, October 29, 2005, 01:25 (Agree/Disagree?) " Yer Insincere "- I like that!!! (reply to this comment)

From Agast Thursday, October 27, 2005, 17:17 (Agree/Disagree?) Why are you posting this under this, of all articles? I hope this is just a troll wandering around trying to start an argument, and not a SGA. After all the Family's second hand anti-Semitism and anti-Africanism, you'd think exer's would know better. Berg would be proud of you. (reply to this comment)

From haha Thursday, October 27, 2005, 17:31 (Agree/Disagree?) Awwww, Mister down in the dumps can't take a joke. If I wanted to hear about Rosa Parks I would have read the paper which I already did. My post gets an A for being original and interesting, yours gets an F for being boring and also for assuming that I'm a racist, and Berg-lover. Good job bud, just like Berg always jumping to conclusions and freaking out about insignificant stuff. (Who could forget the story about Berg going on for 8 hours because someone left a rag in the sink). (reply to this comment)

From ErikMagnusLehnsher Thursday, October 27, 2005, 19:20 (Agree/Disagree?) Congratulations! Your post has earned an "A"! Sometimes a post comes along that is such an exceptional blend of idiocy, cowardice, ignorance, poor sentence structure and attention-seeking "trollery" there's something almost artistic about it. Such a post produces an amazing array of emotions for the reader: 1) Incredulity 2) Anger 3) Propensity towards violence against the poster 4) Gratitude that the poster is not in your presence 5) Resignation that it wouldn't even be worth your time 6) Pity for the poor people who actually know the poster. Yup, funny boy...you flawlessly ran gauntlet and I think you are deserving of the credit and extra attention that you crave. Thank you for participating and please pickup your free "I suck a mean dick" T-Shirt on the way out. (reply to this comment)

From sailor Thursday, October 27, 2005, 21:25 (Agree/Disagree?) all of this anger over posting a link?? Jesus, you're pretty sensitive. If I'm going to read an article about race issues I'd rather read one that is a little less serious like the one I posted about the twins, "Lynx and Lamb," just their names made me laugh when I started reading the article, versus reading yet another article about the death of Rosa Parks. (reply to this comment)

From IMHO, Thursday, October 27, 2005, 22:55 (Agree/Disagree?) "all of this anger over posting a link??" Listen, calling a eulogy for ANYONE "garbage" is very insensitive, to say the least. And posting a link to a racist topic under a eulogy to an important civil rights crusader is downright rude. If you had posted that link as an article in "Lighten Up" or "Creeps" it would have been interesting, especially in comparing Lynx and Lamb's "musical" childhoods to our own. I don't think you are racist, just tactless. (reply to this comment)

From Baxter Saturday, October 29, 2005, 00:55 (Agree/Disagree?) Do I hear Organ music? Who said we were supposed to be reverent? Expecting a eulogy on a website to be treate with reverence is absurd and idiotic! Jeez, some people take themselves too seriously! (reply to this comment)

From ErikMagnusLehnsher Saturday, October 29, 2005, 09:10 (Agree/Disagree?) A couple of days removed from my angry post I acknowledge that I might have over-reacted. I now see that the statements made were less hateful than they were insensitive. It was more like a 13 year old showing at up a funeral and showing off his Chris Tucker impersonation for his cousins. There's not an evil intent, just a lack of sensitivity or good timing (of course you still feel like telling him to STFU), I'm not here to make enemies and had there been an actual screen name associated with the statements that angered me BEFORE I posted, I might have reacted differently. Having learned something about American history not-according-to-Berg I have come to respect many people from the Civil Rights era. I think I immediately associated their struggle for freedom with ours. With regard to Rosa Parks, I always associated her with some of us who were teens in mid 80's (along with me) who figuratively refused to give up their seat in the bus by questioned ridiculous rules and doctines, were not intimidated and subsequently often suffered for it. I tend to think that had it not been for the courage of some of them, things might still be as bad for young people in TF now as they were back then. I should add at this point that I generally meekly surrendered my seat when requested to do so by the white bus driver but I witnessed acts of "civil disobedience" with awe. Often this type of young person, due to their capacity for thinking, ended up leaving TF and at the time and was viciously villified for doing so. When I read or hear a statement from today's version of a Family teen (the trendy web-surfing, Charter rights-aware, "my conclusion"-posting, cool-clothes-wearing, free-thinking dude) like: "I wish those ex-members would stop whining about their recycled stories of abuse" I feel like grabbing them by the collar and saying, "Listen, muchafucka! Many of the rights in TF that you take for granted today exist because of some 'ex-member' who fought for them and often suffered severely. So have some fucking respect. Stay in the Family if you want but have some fucking respect." So I guess I'm projecting a lot onto the Rosa Parks issue and and I guess even an academic apologist/insensitive ass like myself has "triggers". :) (reply to this comment)

From roughneck Saturday, October 29, 2005, 08:17 (Agree/Disagree?) Sure, if you transfer responsibility for personal conduct from the individual to the "website", then, yeah, your view makes all kinds of sense. :) Seriously though, in any other online forum, posting a link to some Nazi musical group under a Civil Rights related article would be considered trolling at the very least.

From vixen Saturday, October 29, 2005, 08:27 (Agree/Disagree?) Hello there, Roughie! How come you're never on msn anymore? Have you gone and got yourself a, gasp, *life*??? (reply to this comment)

From Agast Thursday, October 27, 2005, 19:18 (Agree/Disagree?) Actually until now I HAD forgotten about that story. Thanks a lot, jerk. (reply to this comment)
