Well may you enjoy your fate. I for one will not respond to any more of your threads, and call on the other regulars to ignore you as well, refererencing this thread as reason enough. Calling people names is childish and immature, I am sure you will have something nasty to say about me as well but I will simply ignore it and you. Sitting behind your computer calling people names is cowardly.
I have not made many threads, if you aren't going to reply to what I say why wouldn't you do so now instead of ignoring what I have written?
As far the confederate flag goes, a war was fought over it, the civil war. People that stood behind that flag, stood for states rights and slavery. In this day and age it is a symbol that primarly represents hatred and intolerance for minorities. The KKK has adopted it as their flag of choice.
A flag has many different symbols depending on the person's cultural background. I already apologized if it offended anyone, that should be enough. It's like saying that some people see the American flag as a representation of liberaty and freedom while others see it as oppression and imperialism. Two different views coming from a flag. Hey, go figure?
There are many ways of fighting and, verbal can sometimes be more abusive then a fist fight. The words you use (or choose) can cause as much pain as if you used your fists. The scars that you create with these verbal abuses last much longer than any physical scars.
I would believe that in some instances except in this one. Idiot, is not that bad of a word .... at all. If anyone thinks it's horrific, I would suggest they not venture outside. But, I listen to what you say and take heed to your advice.
Also remember that it only takes one insult or an unkind word to leave a long term impression about the kind of person you are.
I am a horrible person, I thought we established this awhile ago? ;)
Oh, notice: The mozilla security hole, was really just allowing users to run already scripted programs on your computer. They could not add or edit code (I think, if I’m wrong please tell me). So, overall it wasn’t that big of a deal… at all.
I have been reading these forums for a long time now, but have never felt the urge to post until now. I have learned a lot from these forums, and I hate for them to fall apart for something so petty as a little argument. Staind made a mistake in calling a revered member an ‘idiot’, and he has tried to make amends. He has helped a bunch of people, and he obviously just wants to contribute to the forum. The whole flag scenario was a simple mixup, and staind has explained himself properly. He deserves another chance IMO. Thank you, and please continue the good work on this great forum!
Poof
Welcome to the forums. I’m sorry you had to pick this one thread to judge thing by.
Unfortunetly, this isn’t the only thread or forum on which we have run into the same problem.
I just wanted to comment on something that this thread was originally talking about and that is the security issue with Firefox etc. I have chosen to not upgrade firefox or thunderbird but instead I went and downloaded the security patches that they offered with no problems what-so-ever. I did as instructed, checked to make sure that the patches were working as instructed. Just wanted to let anyone know whom might be considering using the patches to fix the security problems instead of downloading the complete new versions of Firefox and/or Thunderbird. As to the other issues mentioned here no comment from me is forthcoming. This information is to reply to the question posed originally in the first post here from chameleon. HTH chemeleon
Let me hear you speak three languages, and then you can say something about my bad English...
I can speak English.
Je peux parler en francais tres bien, mais je douche parce que je suis sale. (no clue how to do accents on the internet though).
Um, I can type limited korean -> bang man dul da (means make game please). or an nyung (hello).
Merci beaucoup, mais je ne prend pas “le sejour qui maniere” est un idiome(I admit I had to translate that word:P), n’est-ce pas? Peut-etre vous pouvez expliquer. Something about a vacation or holiday? Take a holiday from here? Oh, maybe you mean how is summer vacation?
I live in Ohio USA.
I am from a multi-cultural family where many lang. were used in combo with english-lol
My father spoke german,hebrew,and yiddish
grampa also spoke russian
Italian was most on mom’s side but there were some that were french.
I do not speak them very well and haven’t used any recently so I am out of pratice but with a translator at my fingertips I find that looking it up is easy.

States rights

Slavery
= defining points of civil war
True not all northern soldiers were against slavery, alot of people still harbored alot of bigotry, alot of people still do, however, living in Oklahoma I have seen the symbolism that alot of people place upon the confederate flag. Here, atleast, it seems it has became a symbol of ignorance and bigotry.
Granted this is my take on the subject from what I have seen. There are no official statistics

This is beginning to sound like the Williamsburgh Section of Brooklyn NY.
I worked there for about 7 years about 20 years ago.
The only thing I can add is:
Sei gesund.
Eh, I forget how to past tense. Are you from France yourself or just a student of french?
