    Can’t we just go back to you calling me a "F-head" in pm's? Really dude, you’re not intimidating me.

    Not kosher.............you already complained to Al (KAB) and brought it up in an inappropriate thread. Deal with it privately as it's a private exchange between you two. You will get no sympahty by running out in public and trying to furthur antagonize others to participate in your little spat.

    It's so simple............ignore and don't respond, some people just never get that, 99.9% of the time it all goes away quickly. I don't want to hear about your private PM's, because I couldn't give a rats a$$.

    I would suspect that those are the people who you should be talking to about your schools. I hold steadfast to the constitution of the United States.

    Nope I would not talk to the people who thought it was devil worship, I would take to the damned fool politically correct wusses who listen to the minority and force the minorities BS on mainstream Americans.

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

    You do realize that the first statement was so that the Federal Government COULD NOT make a state religion like the Church of England our forefathers were trying to avoid free themselves from. Not for the free expression of religion or the speaking of the word God on or around anything that is of the Federal government which is by the people and for the people. Besides we are not talking about religion here, we are talking of Halloween.

    For a guy who seems to be enamored with political correctness you sure can quote our Constitution which is diametrically opposed to political correctness. Our constitution is truth.

    But wait, I find it interesting that you attack me... when he is the one that brought it out of PM right here in this thread for me to respond to. Why would you not say that to him first? Is there a hidden agenda here or did you just miss it?

    I think there’s a bit too much politically incorrectness that goes on in some areas like the clubhouse and it’s done by a lot of the old school group of guys.

    Let me put it in layman's terms. You started it, not me. Now, if you'd like to continue this conversation via PM like I did originally, then by all means let's continue, but I am done posting about this on the forum.
    Political Correctness'.........defined

    "A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

    First, I'm not attacking you, just giving my POV on taking a private matter and announcing publically in more than one place, nothing more nothing less. And no I didn't really think his comment was specifically directed right at you. If it was, it went over my head as I don't know the nature of the squabble.

    Yup, I would post the dialog but wouldnt want to get called out on that, but it was a direct message to me, have no doubt about it, he brought it public right here.

    Post the whole message:

    "Thanks KAB

    I must say as a pretty new guy around here that these forums are great and I really like them. It has a tight nit community of people that I really like the feel of. But it’s also hard to break into it and I surly haven’t done well. I think there’s a bit too much politically incorrectness that goes on in some areas like the clubhouse and it’s done by a lot of the old school group of guys. I’ve had a feeling that if you respond then they group up on you a bit. But, I recently talked with a few of the guys and I think we got our differences out and worked it out behind the scenes. But even with that, the clubhouse is full of a lot of great stuff. Take it from a new guy, these forums are pretty damn good and the people are pretty damn good enthusiastic bunch of people."

    I should have added to my last post "and I don't care to know about it" :rolleyes:

    Why would I not respond to a person that cut a small snippet of a post I put up and spin it to make it sounds like it shouldn’t? I’m I to follow your rules for posting. Hardly so since you are the counter argument.

    Let’s get back on topic, F1 brought out our PM's.. fine that over... Let’s get back to important things like the constitution and you "Hearingimpared" continued attempts to inflict your slanted point of view on the world on others like me.

    What the hell are you talking about?

    The last time you made a statement close to that effect was when you called me a hypocrite and ran off and unsubscribed from that thread before showing any hypocricy.

    That's different. Some people are very allergic to peanuts. If someone in the same room or on the same airplane as them were to eat peanuts, it could cause them to swell up, if not worse. And if they by accident ate peanuts, they could go into anaphylactic shock and possibly die. That has nothing to do with being politically correct. It's sad that things have to be this way, but the amount of children with food allergies is going up at a alarming rate.

    Yes but it would be the responsibility of the person with the allergy and if a child the parent's to protect their child from the peanuts, not an edict from the government banning the peanuts or school banning the peanuts.

    If I knew there was a kid in my boy's classroom who was allergic to peanuts I would make sure to educate my boy on the serious health dangers that the nuts present to his classmate and let him know that it would be very considerate if he didn't eat peanuts around the kid with the allergies.
