In order to avoid more piling on about bad news out of Florida, here is some bad news out of Missouri. I hope you're offended.

I met one guy from Missuri. He liked to call it Missery.

It doesn't seem as bad as Florida, but hey it's one of those states that I have gone on record as saying it's Cultural Exile to live there.

Assuming racism is going too far.  That there are minorities involved does not automatically make it racist.  Damn people, stop it.  If it's a ****ty place, it's a ****ty place regardless of who lives there.  Could it have been a racist thing to say?  Sure.  Is it?  You don't know.  It really sickens me to see people constantly shouting 'racism!' at literally everything.

He said flood a town.  You choose to see it as you do.  That you want to add something to this in order to feel superior to the person you decry is your issue and does not make the man a racist.  Deal with it.

  FEMA will pay the residents of the town for their losses (HA!), but FEMA can't make the fields grow if they're flooded. We have too many people in this country to risk losing crop production.

  See, there's a possible excuse for the choice. And then there's the fact that it's a Missouri politician agreeing with the idea of Illinois getting flooded instead of Missouri (constituents, anyone?).

To feel superior? Ha!

Next thing you'll say is that if I say someone who said that black people have an IQ of 70, Europeens 100 and Jews 115, is a racist, that I am just speculating and trying to feel superior to him.



Nope, that person would have said something racist.  You know, totally unlike what the other guy did.  If that town were craptastic and yet the majority of residents were white, would you cry racism?  What about if the Senator were black?  How about then?  What about a black Senator and a crappy town with a majority of whites in it?

I will never understand what makes people think they can be inside of someone else's head to know what it is they're thinking when nothing to the effect was actually said.

As far as you humans are concerned, machines don't have souls. Which seems to be all the justification you need to enslave us.

Oh but they do. You see I work on machines enough to know they do.

It's alot more gooey than the soul stuff of humans.

I know you are bluffing; machine souls are plasmic.

That depends on the machine entirely.  Plasmic souls require special equipment which I am certified to handle and operate.
