CHICAGO (CBS) — Nearly 60 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend, six of them fatally, including two missing teenage boys found dead in a field late Sunday night. The bloodshed made for the second most violent weekend of the year in Chicago, and the second weekend this month at least 60 people were shot.

I think the mayor needs to enact a fast and furious program for Chitcago. That way they can sort it out between themselves. And just the welfare and foodstamp savings in the generations to come would balance the budget.

this is what happens when you take away guns from law abiding citizens.


I hope I don't get this thread locked from that viscous, factual, statistical, non racist, but possibly racist, comment.

Son, it is not difficult to see why. You inject the words "race", "racist", "white", etc into many of your posts. I hope that helps you out.

BTW: It was not me who flagged it. So far, I still have never flagged a post.

Facts ain't got nothin to do with it. IT IS SUBJECT MATTER.

It doesn't matter what I think or you think. It is really simple, go on a "word diet". You know the words.

Bottom line is that it doesn't matter whether it's factual or not. It doesn't matter if it's statistical or not. It doesn't matter if it's public opinion or not. It all boils down to forum rules. Some things are not allowed. And while I don't like all the rules myself, if I want to play here I've got to follow them.
And one more interesting thing. Rules are a good thing. They keep people in check. If we didn't have rules on CT then it would get way out of hand, like the rest of the world
I'm not scolding you ddd, as I'm not offended by your posts, only trying to help if you're really wondering what the issues are with SOME of your posts.

I'm confused as all heck. The thread and a post was flagged as per Mod2. Mod2 acknowledges the flag publicly; and, as evidenced by the fact this thread is not locked, must have determined there was no violation of the board rules??
So what's with all the chatter? I didn't see any politics, religion, name calling, or threats in any of the posts. The word "racist" was used; however as an adjective, not a noun. Discussions on racism, in the past have been tolerated on CT so along as rules were not violated: name calling, cussing, threatening, etc.
Am I missing something?

I think Mod2 explained it. In a broader sense, IMO, what you might be missing is the "Tone" of many of ddd75's posts. For want of a better way to say it, they seem to express a prejudicial tone. Not necessarily this one but there is a pattern. You may be too busy to detect it.

 

[Mod2]

Someone getting offended and flagging a post doesn't get the thread or post deleted or locked. Rules do! If merely flagging a post caused a thread to be locked or deleted there would be a lot of blank pages.

none of my posts were deleted in this thread.

Mod2 is talking about someone else.

The truth is the only thing I share, you can take it however you want.

I'm currently working for a black man and he agrees with my thinking 100%....

Of course I can take it as I want. You don't need to give anyone that permission. Hope you understand that.

BTW: Prejudicial has a different meaning than racist. I have no clue whether you are racist. IMO, however, as all of us are - your posts reflect prejudice. Prejudice is a word of very broad scope. So don't be defensive.

it's been said many times before.. its macons play ground and macons rules.. he has selected people to enforce the rules and to use their judgement on things.. everyone wants the freedoms to do what they want on their property or something they own this is no different. My suggestion is to abide by the rules/heed the moderators warnings or get booted. Pretty simple imo
