Good for you ;)
I'll still pray for you anyway whether you like it or not... Btw, I'm not judging you as a person because, that's not my thing believe it or not.. I'm also not going to equate what was an obvious racist remark in the form of a joke as somewhat acceptable as a member of the American Welding Society which brings me to the question out of curiosity...
Are you a member of the American Welding society in good standing whether being an individual member or a corporate member?
Because if you are as a person with multiple degrees of whatever, and I say this because you did not elaborate as to which specific degrees you've earned, then you should have the intelligence to know that those types of jokes are not acceptable here just from reading the already previously posted rules & regulations...
And as a Member & Educator that DOES REPRESENT the interests of the AMERICAN WELDING SOCIETY - it is an insult to any and all of my fellow members when someone posts such vile whether it be online, or says it on sixty minutes for all I care!!!
Just for the record, and The President even acknowledges this himself... He's NOT 100% BLACK!!! He is Bi-racial if you want to get technical so, Coal would not be the proper stone to use... However, I could think of the different types of granite that would do just fine besides, there's already enough stone there to get the job done. ;)
The Honor Guard joke if that's what you want to call it, was a terrible one at that, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Secret Service doesn't contact you for clarification because, even in a joke like that one, can sometimes be misconstrued as a terroristic threat even if this was not your intention, and I know in my heart that it wasn't but, it doesn't mean that you can post stuff like that without someone like myself and Lawrence whom both are veterans of the USN - Second to None!!! from becoming downright insulted for threatening the institution of the Presidency by using another institution of such high esteem as the Honor Guard even in jest - to eliminate the President!!!
Look! I'm not a happy camper with most of his broken promises, and double talk but, what do you expect from politicians, and I didn't vote for him being the independent that I am and will always be!!! Yet I didn't post a joke that was racist or to be potentially misconstrued as threatening to the President of our great country whether I voted for him or not!!!
Any Veteran of true honor, and integrity would know better than to insult or disgrace the office of the President which you did with the awful joke (if that's what you want to call it) which most definitely incited racism, and hatred that is unacceptable here!!! I mean after all that has been said, and done here as a consequence - You still don't get it, and you still think that you didn't do something that was beyond the norms of decency in here????
If that's the case then please take your IGNORANCE elsewhere because it is not welcome here, and I'm sure that the rest of us will be more careful as to what we post in here from now on.
One more thing... Respond if you like but, this is the last time I will debate this issue with you or anyone else because I KNOW THAT I AM RIGHT!!!
How do I know this???
You just proved it with your arrogant self - righteous response and that about sums it up in a nutshell - PERIOD!
Repectfully,
Henry
