ha yeah i dont even know either, just that if you say jon wants race war he goes to defcon five, fwiw despite being #1 ilx bully i think ive done that maybe once, i was only experimenting swear

did you read about the genocide letter she denied writing to her newspaper? xp

twice tops

i think k3v knows the true history of the race war meme

and she followed almost the exact same pattern with claiming bipolar xp

genocide and race war, it all makes sense now

yeah shes a mess

Yep. She seems like she's either a particularly awful person or seriously mentally ill.

i remember a time when gawker would've been all over this story (around when they had a daily kaavya viswanathan update) but it seems like they reduced literature culture coverage?

unfortunately these qualities are not always discrete xp

I think she's probably just a horrible human being.

idg why 'you started a race war' is such a big, i mean we were all young once and made mistakes, who am i to cast the first stone, etc

I think zachylon already explained the genocide thing like two days ago.

feel like ambition should be in the dsm

it seems like she's a horrible human being who had something horrible happen to her and is now stuck in a terrible no-win position

lol feel like zachylon's apologetics did not adequately explain the genocide thing at all

After extensive study of history, I believe "Latino" -- as used in the Los Angeles Times -- is the most recent attempt at genocide perpetrated against the native people of the Americas. I also posit this new genocide is far more dangerous than the old fashioned murder and relocation efforts.

Voltaire, eh, what a cunt, bet he was racist

definitely an anti-Semite

defcon five is peace

AND THUS, I CONTRIBUTE

distinguishing between cultural and actual genocide does not explain why calling ppl latinos is worse than murder + relocation

war is peace make u think

a practice she equated to genocide

ugh fuck this, there is like a 100% chance she was referring to cultural genocide, a term used for decades and not meant to imply the actual murder of a group of people

She may not be a well person, I wouldn't argue for or against anything of that nature at this point, but she wasn't accusing anyone of literal genocide so there's no need to heap extra accusations.

xxxxxp I think his explanation was sufficient for anyone who wanted to look up the term and educate themselves about its use.

race peace

I've been searching for anything from Gotham Books, but nothing yet, which is probably smart if they aren't on the same page as the author yet.

she was accusing them of something WORSE than literal genocide!

woooah dlh dropping thoughts

race peace

otm

i propose that using the term latino is not worse than murdering ppl and that suggesting otherwise is disrespectful to the victims of genocide

i hope not cause ive said latino thousands of times in my life and i dont think im really ready for that level of self reappraisal

I've also been searching for "race war" on ilx, and every result I've clicked on is jon saying he will not tollerate this race war stuff followed by a few random people making race war comments.

lookin back jho, do you think that, even unwittingly, you may have started a few race scuffles with yr use of the term?

i prefer to think of them as race disagreements

his father was killed in that race war you assholes

AP you should probably run yr results through a xref with 'burrito stall' and 'pottery'

^ lol. that's the perfect amount of information. I don't need to know any more.

*wonders if the phrase 'burrito stalls' is worse than genocide*

xp dammit

Amber's review Dec 01, 12

bookshelves: currently-reading, first-reads

Amber's review: 4/5

I have to say I was surprised by this book. It wasn't what I was expecting. It turned out to be more of a change in opinion then the love story I was expecting to read. I did really enjoy The Feminist and the Cowboy: An Unlikely Love Story.

It's fun to watch her opinion change on how The Cowboy treats her change. At first the nice things he wants to do for her such as open her door, she sees as an insult. Somehow she doesn't feel it's right but deep down she almost, kind of, maybe, could like the jester. As time goes on she sees these acts of kindness for just what they are, a gentleman wanting to take care of his lady.

This is the first book I have read by Alisa Valdes. I would enjoy reading more by her.

If you enjoyed this book I would also recommend Rurally Screwed by Jessie Knadler

i love that its the bullies of ilx who get to determine whether or not what they do is valid to be offended by or not. this is such fucking bullshit and, at this point, i can only believe that the mods are actively in support of bullying.

I mean, whatever. I'm going to let this thread go after this post, but I've specifically asked multiple time now for the "race war" thing to stop. I asked nicely, I asked dramatically, I asked politely, whatever. I think anyone who continues to do it after I've specifically asked that it stop is a bully and I'm awed by how little the site's mods care about it. Flag Post obviously doesn't work. I don't give a shit if someone wants to "zing" me or w/e, I've just asked that this specifc race war thing stopped. Anyone that doesn't respect this is crossing a line, imho.

she almost, kind of, maybe, could like the jester.

I'm sure he's not ALL bad....

*cries*

Jon, half the ppl here don't even know what that crack is about, and definitely it's not worth letting Mordy jerk you around by it, don't u see?

it's really difficult to answer that without making reference to the silliness of the whole thing, i mean if you're going to continuously flare up over something so ridiculous ppl are gonna find it very hard to take it seriously.

Where d'you think the racewar bullying ranks in the history of ilx bullying, ilx being the bullyingest site west of pamplona?

this thread is so weird now

in orbit, plz refer to above where i apologized to jon for the race wars crack.

Jon, half the ppl here don't even know what that crack is about, and definitely it's not worth letting Mordy jerk you around by it, don't u see?

its not Mordy I'm talking about this morning, its amon and lagoon and the others who've decided to pile on with it.

If you promise to shut the fuck up and not fall into the exact same elephant trap EVERY SINGLE TIME I will ban them both from this thread.

fyi i wasn't piling on, i just stated that idk wtf its about
