i recently read a funny subscriber article in my downstates news paper, which in Delaware means a bigoted, 4th grade reading level article.
In this article a clever southern farmer who dared to list his full name and address seriously claimed to be privey to the secret knowledge about a town of Muslims living in remote Southern California. According to him this town has an evil plan to conquer the USA from their hidden base.
WHAT A GENIUS!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA

I hope this thread is going to have more in its favor than bashing Americans and calling them Muslim haters, or I'm closing it.

That's fine, @Word--no problem, since it wasn't your post in any case that caused the difficulty. Now, let's just let the topic sit on its own, without bumping (no need to reply!), and see if anybody posts to it.

After I heard someone say "I hate Germans - they are
all soo racist" I don't think anything can impress me.

But SYM is not going to be a forum for the bashing of any group. If someone wants to congenially poke fun at a friend's nationality, etc, that's one thing. But to discuss, even in humor, the supposed hatred of Americans for Muslims or something similar is out of bounds. There's just too much chance to wound people unintentionally, as has occurred here, in the past; and it serves little purpose.
No offense meant to those who wanted to start such a discussion; I'm sure your motives were pure. (Well, not pure; you're SYMers. But good.
) However, I'm sure you can understand that we all have hidden sensitivity buttons that do not need to get pressed by accidental slams.
...and the first one of ya who dares make a joke about that "sensitivity buttons" phrase will get my dentures thrown at your heads! You younguns!

Why should we joke about your sensitive buttocks , oh ancient one ?
*runs for cover to avoid the dual-wielded canes and the fiendish familiar-dentures*
No worries,

Actually, a pun between "buttons" and "buttocks" wasn't what I was expecting, but I guess you have to take what you can get.
You have the labored sense of humor of my wife, and just noting that puts me three up on you.

I think I could like your wife...
So what were you expecting ? - Keep in mind that I'm "three below you" so keep it simple

No worries,

Kent County? That's it?
North/south/east/west of Dover? Narrow it down a little. I promise, nothing will happen.
Yet.
