Lou, I guess that my not going on the Faith board means that I am missing the antisemitic posts that you frequently want Bob to do something about.
I can't even remember what happened last month and I noticed that you are still trying to get answers from 2007, if I am not mistaken. By now I'm thinking that Bob isn't going to act upon those posts.
I know after being here for 7 years that these alleged antisemitic posts bother you greatly. I have seen snippets of some of the posts and I do see, sometimes, that the post could be upsetting to a Jewish person. However, if all of us took everything to heart here that another fellow Babbler said, we'd be up the proverbial creek without a paddle..because in that process we would be giving our power away to that poster.
Have you ever received clarification concerning the dissection of those posts? I don't know if that makes sense, but I think you know what I'm getting at.
I have been enjoying our music exchanges on Social and I was thinking last night that I am learning what makes "Lou" tick in one part of his life. And I am enjoying have that thread go on smoothly without having to try to tell you "why, how, where, when I pick a particular video from YouTube. I would have folded by now and left the thread had I been asked to clarify my choices of songs.
Would there be a way for you to detach from asking Bob for clarifications and just enjoy the boards as they are? I believe that most posters here would enjoy that very much. ( am not speaking for other posters..just a guess upon my part)
I think that if we worship the way we want to and not give up our powers to others, we're ahead by a country mile. Another aspect of being here with you on Babble is that your posts (concerning your beliefs) are very confusing to me and I will never attempt to become a part of the thread.
I believe in sweat lodges. I don't care if anyone else here believes in them. I've been discriminated against by people from organized religion but that doesn't change the fact that I am part Indian. In a nutshell, I could give a rats*** what others think of how I connect with my higher power. Being discriminated against comes with the territory of being American Indian. "drunk injun"..."savage".."backwards" "second class citizens"..all sorts of racial slurs have rolled off my back.
I was involved and witness to a faith discussion not long ago and all that happened is people got hurt and angry. Nothing was resolved.
I believe that it's time for moving on and enjoying the social aspects of the board. On the Politics board we're able to post and enjoy one another without much fuss.
.
Lou, here comes the hard part for you. I will not reply to you if you ask for clarification of this post.. I am of the mind that you will know what I am saying and being asked for clarification can make me tired and cranky.Lou, there will always be discrimination. Enjoy this life. We never know when it will end. I learned that two weeks ago when Fayeroe died.
