I too am prejudice, but
my children are not. They are very accepting and liberal adn I admire them for that. I am working on it every day to try to be more accepting of differences, albeit color, religion, etc.
I have come to realize and understand that are bad seeds in every race, religion, etc.
I will never to totally free of prejudice, but I will be more open to differences and learn to keep my opinions to my self.
Prejudice
We are all prejudiced against something. To deny that would be a lie. I speak what I want in my own home. If someone recorded it and maligned me with it I would seek advice from a lawyer and proceed against them. When in my home I do it my way, speak what I want, etc. When in the home of others or the workplace I conform to societal norms as best I can. When offended, I either remain silent or excuse myself nicely. When you were with those relatives were you in your house or theirs?
holloway and prejudice
Thank you for your insightful post. Gosh..will we ever get it right?? In my life time? I sure hope so..
I have never heard anyone so outright admit to prejudice like that..sm
I used to live in Virginia. I am not prejudice, BUT what I experienced there taught me some differences. I noticed that quite a few black people DID have attitudes and were actually quite prejiduce themselves. I was very amazed at this. At one time, we had gone to a video store. All blacks running the store. Our family and another white family were there and they REFUSED to wait on this. Now, while I understand the issues of the PAST, I think it silly to blame THIS generation for what was done by ancestors in past generations. I ended up calling the district manager and the entire store was RESTAFFED from Manager DOWN. I also had a lot of black friends in Virginia. I think what it comes down to is no matter what race you are, you got some people who are ***holes and some not..black, white, asian, etc. You also have people who are prejiduce..blacks against whites, asians against black..it doesn't matter. Its very sad.
I went into this without prejudice, threw myelf actually, but it seems to get worse...
instead of better. I feel I got a pay cut with almost the same amount of work. Some jobs are great, then you get 3-4 that are heavy in editing and it ruins anything you got with a good 1 or 2.
Mensa AND common sense -- prejudice obviously ignorance
Oh bosh. I am a member of Mensa and a medical transcriptionist. I think it is VERY narrow minded of the whole bunch who criticize something they no NOTHING about. Mensa is simply an organization whose qualification is that you test in the top 2 percent on any of a couple of different IQ tests. High IQ and common sense are not mutually exclusive. I have two other comments: Intelligence is matriarchal (look it up) and if you would like the cheapest way of finding out your true IQ Mensa is generally the cheapest way to do it. It used to consist of 15 bucks and a Saturday morning at a university test -- but I'm sure there are more modern ways now. Contact American Mensa and find out. They are a very interesting bunch and have special interest groups which consist of just about any topic you can think of from alcoholics to chocoholics to irish dancing and beyond....
Should just post all their open positions in one post and only be allowed to post one of those a day

Ignore my post. I finally found the post on how to do this. nm

Yes, I tried to post same last night about 10 times, and it won't let me post.
I used to breed lab puppies (please no activist flames)! I had a champion female white Canadian lab, and people would be on a list for years if by chance I bred her, which I did twice, and so that I could continue her line. Anyhow, she's my sweet Skye who passed away 2 months ago? At any rate, we had the same problems with kids in the "hood" who wanted to come over and play once the puppies were old enough to be exercised daily and played with. At first I thought, how cute, right? Puppies and little kids - what better picture! Well, the majority of kids were adorable, but there were always 1 or 2 sick ones who would smack the pups, smash and hold their heads in the dirt (a real common thing, but I don't know why - psychiatrist anyone). At any rate, I finally had to ban the whole group due to the 1 or 2 creeps, had to call the police, the whole 9 yards, and that's EXACTLY what the police officer told me - next thing is there will be poison meat or a donut in the yard. He told me to always go out and patrol my yard, especially alone the fence line every day before I let the dogs out, particularly at night. I went out with a flashlight. It was about a month later, but sure enough - poison meat. Because there were so many kids involved, we obviously couldn't pin point the exact family, but the police went and read the riot act to them all. It would stop and not happen again for a year or so, but every now and again we would find something. My dogs were NEVER out and barking, so it was nothing like that - it was just over the puppies and the cruel kids.... Not trying to freak you, but that's the way these kids and their families are. You can really judge someone's character by ill treatment of a PUPPY, of all things. And the parents?? They sound whacked. Please be careful.
Sorry, I posted this post under the wrong post

Ah, I really meant to post that under the original post
Though it was gourdpainter's post which inspired me to post that suggestion.

what mean post made you post your post
Which mean post was the straw that broke the poster's back.
Yes, she had post partum depression AND post partum psychosis. I posted on this a while back, and
it explained the two. The psychosis actually develops after the depression. Scary stuff.

Don't they post that information when they post the
job listing?
Thank you for your post
You posted it like it is. What about this young boys parents?? What was he doing out at 2-3 in the morning?? What kind of parent would allow that?? No where have these posters who are blaming the victim even tried to put blame on this boy. Amazing. I hate to say it but the old cliche is true. very few women stand together or help each other, the claws come out and they attack each other. This young boy has told several different accounts of what happened that night. My take is that they put a date rape drug in her drink, as some of her friends said she was acting strangely.

that's all I can do regarding this post-
Yes, we see that. However, this post was done before her post.
Was there even a need for your post?
Your post really says it all!
Best post all day. Thank you. (nm)

is this post from JMO ?
First of all, I can post here if I want. Second, SM
it's not necessarily having a "unique ability to spot a loser right away." Too many women have baby rabies and don't care whose sperm they get, as long as they get that baby. Then, when daddy's true colors come out, it's too late. THEN they so very often breed with them AGAIN. What the hell is wrong with these women? Then then end up "single mothers" with a giant chip on their shoulder, expecting the world to make up for their bad choices.
Yes, dads die. But from what I see 95% of single mothers got that way by having kids with the wrong men.
my post
see, 1600 or 1700 lines in 8 hours. But I can spend 3 or 4 hours of really doing nothing but typing and do 1000 lines. I shouldn't take 8 hours to do 1600. I should be able to 2000. I find that I get on this board, zone out, get up a lot, etc., after I reach my 1000. That is what I need to work on!
maybe no one knows anything else to post! nm

I was going to post in regards to this but
honestly I'm not even going to waste my breath!
not one post in particular (sm)
just the general tone of the posts lately...mean, nasty, downright catty...and not necessarily just this board, but the general population as well. Like driving on the freeway--rude people cutting you off, etc--in the grocery store--the rude cashier--it's everywhere. Can't even hardly go to church anymore without some drama going on.
the above post is for Mae

What does that have to do with this post? At least u have a job. NM

This isn't about then, it's about now and also about what you said in your post.
FEMA is responsible to getting relief to ALL the victims. I realize that it's going to take longer than 1-1/2 weeks, but what I disagree with is the fact that FEMA is more or less making their responsibility the responsibility of the private sector. They are moving people from the FEMA-sponsored shelters to churches that are receiving NONE of the aid money that has been granted to FEMA until they or the individuals housing the homeless apply for this aid. There are thousands of people who were already in shelters other than the Astrodome, but very few of these are receiving any substantial aid from FEMA unless approved. The approval period could take 60 days, what are these people going to do in the meantime? And a lot of these people in faith-based shelters are ones who have probably never taken a handout in their lives. They should be included in the immediate relief as well and not have to wait 60 days to be approved for expeditious relief.
Yes, Sorry, saw it after I sent post

Just don't go into the post then.
It's not that hard to figure out. You are so annoying. Don't comment on it if you have nothing normal to say.
That was not my post.

Wish I'd seen your post before! I
I sure have bad timing!!!
Post away
I don't work for this company, but all MTs need to be warned, and if he does not pay then we all should know it. Some of us have a family to support. What would happen if you worked and did not get paid when expected, - no groceries for the kids, no electricity, no phone. I feel this is ALL MTs business even if they do not work for this employer (obviously not an employer) to be warned. So get off your high horse and come back to earth with the rest of us.
