Hello Ed!

04 Feb 07 00:37, you wrote to me:

 EH> I didn't say anything about being "held in high esteem," I said

It is a requirement for the police, the jailers and any officer of the court to
behave professionally when detaining, arresting, confining or trying the
criminal, if this is what you meant, ok I agree.

 EH> Are you now equating illegal aliens with rapists?

No, but criminals are criminals, regardless of which law they may break.

A shoplifter stealing a pack of bubble gum is a criminal as well.

 RC>> Who is picking allies?

 EH> You are defending John's use of a disparaging, racist term in his call

No, I am giving you a different take on his words.

and why do you care about what John thinks of what you think about his words,
if you dont, you wouldnt be crucifying him?

 RC>> I entered this argument after it was already aflame, Johns
 RC>> mistake was giving your opinion of him the time of day.

 EH> Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!

 EH> Oh my, I might lose John's respet. What's next, will I be called a

Had he not responded, you would have moved onto another topic.

 RC>> Those whom live in glass houses should not throw stones.

 EH> That's John's problem... and yours...

 EH> I, OTOH, have no problem with pointing out bigotry when I see it.

Again, holding others hostage to your sensibilities.

You are no better than the Jacksons and Sharptons whom need racism to exist so
they can exist because they think they see it behind every tree.
