    Y'all look the same to us.

    By "us", are you referring to the European immigrants (or their descendants) in the US? The joke's on you: A Chinese man walks into a bar in America late one night and he saw Steven Spielberg. As he was a great fan of his movies, he rushes over to him,and asks for his autograph. Instead, Spielberg gives him a slap and says, "You Chinese people bombed our Pearl Habour, get outta here. "The astonished Chinese man replied, "It was not the Chinese who bombed your Pearl Harbour, it was the Japanese". "Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same," replied Spielberg. In return, the Chinese gives Spielberg two slaps and says, "You sank the Titanic, my forefathers were on that ship. "Shocked, Spielberg replies, "It was the iceberg that sank the ship, not me." The Chinese replies, "Iceberg, Spielberg, Carlsberg, you're all the same."

      Ohhkkkay, then. It was a *nice* post you made back there. :rolleyes: You see, ^ *that* line was sarcasm. I think you and den2k have got the meaning of "sarcasm" confused with "pachydermatous insensitive indurate jokey jokes wannabe". Why? Because the incident is one where an educated man murdered his countryman due to hatred, and went on to gravely injure two more (including one from his own race). Not the best topic for an adult to make jokes about their inability to distinguish between races. No, that's NOT sarcasm.

      If you are trying to push John's buttons, or trying to make a point with him by keeping this absolutely pointless debate alive, then you are acting the fool. Just saying...

        To whom are you referring to as "you guys"? Edit: Common sense would dictate that most Americans don't walk into bars and restaurants and shoot people, despite what Hollywood says. So when you say "you guys", I have to take pause.

        Your original post that you so urgently deleted before others could read it:

        If you are trying to push John's buttons, or trying to make a point with him by keeping this absolutely pointless debate alive, then you are acting the fool. Just saying...

        I don't give two fucks about John's buttons, whatever it could possibly mean. He made a derisory, and insensitive comment, and I had to point out that it was such. I do not think it's a pointless debate because it's about someone making an insensitive remark about a hate crime which involved the murder of one and the hospitalization of two. But you're entitled to an opinion of your own, so pointless it could be, for you. Why did you delete your message though? Is it because you realised it was incredibly stupid of you to respond on a thread which you are referring to as "pointless debate"? So, then you're the fool, by your own logic. Calling someone a fool and adding "just saying" still is a personal attack, and totally uncalled for, especially given that this is the first post of mine on this thread you responded to. I'm not going to continue discussing with you if you have nothing constructive to discuss about and/or cannot discuss without resorting to personal attacks because then, it really does become pointless.

          I think you missed the entire point of his comment. The initial poster made a generalized comment, and thus John followed up with a generalized comment to make a point. Now you are taking this to a whole new level of which it doesn't need to be, thus you are a fool for doing so.

              You're dragging a discussion which you claimed was "absolutely pointless" by having responded with personal attacks, and then deleted it, and then posting more responses, trying to prove that someone else is the fool.

                Just for the record, I thought this post of yours[^] was extremely meaningful, and I recorded my up vote in there; I would have responded with something like that, pointing out that detail to the OP if not for you.

                  The News Story is irrelevant. JSOP's responding to the OP's comment "you all need to read a book". Basically lumping all Americans together and applying the stereotypical image that all Americans are dumb. John's, funnily pointing out the foolishness in that by responding with another stereotypical jibe, surely you didnt miss this?

                    Almost everybody missed it. That's kind of excusable though since they're foreigners. I have a feeling that If the dude had actually got it right and killed Iranians (which he apparently thought he was doing), we wouldn't be hearing from the lady boys.

                      See this post: Re: Olathe shooting[^] It basically says how well I appreciate this post: Re: Olathe shooting[^] in which Slacker007 points out succinctly about the OP's unfair generalization. Now, John's post was made much later, and seemed to me like it was mocking the situation that left one dead, and two in the hospital. It could well be not what he had intended. But it looked like it was bordering on that to me. Looking back at the whole thing now, I think that I could have held myself back or at least been much more polite in stating my opinions. I've calmed down now though. Or, am I fucking calm? AM I? :mad: If this was a catch-all bait he laid, I certainly bit. :)
