Seems like we average about 3 banned members per year. Not bad compared to most other forums. :good:

Can we ban Papa? He's not fulfilling his duties and I'm going to start a ban papa petition.

Perhaps this is the difference. I do not take on the responsibility for the actions of other. I make sure that I live my life right.

There might lie the issue. As much as I too live my life right, I try to extend that opportunity for others to enjoy the same. Just doing the right thing yourself doesn't help much if you turn a blind eye to others' struggle. Remember Niemöller's quote. No one is asking you to take blame, but standing around doing nothing while others, some that will be close to you, are affected is kinda shitty.

If an officer pulls me over because he thinks my skin is too dark, then so be it. I have committed no crimes, will treat him/her with respect and if for some reason, I'm am treated unjustly, will take it up in the courts. If the courts on unjust, then I will work to have those courts changed by working for the election of new judges

I didn't ask you about you being pulled over, I asked about your black friends. The process you mentioned is nice on paper, but it's moot when you get shot because you have the wrong skin colour, and happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. This is an issue with the system, and cannot be fought by individuals, especially when they get shot "accidentally".

What are you doing about it? Why haven't you turned yourself in as racist, misogynist, rapist, bible thumping blah blah blah? What are you doing to atone for your original sin? How are you putting your money where your mouth is?

My activism in terms of the local Sex Work industry is well documented. I wear a button on my satchel saying "I'll go with you", offering trans people an escort to the bathroom. I step in when Muslims get harassed on the subway, or women on the street. I offer self-defence classes on a PWYC basis.

Being Eastern Euro, and a 1st gen, I don't feel guilt over being seen as white or male, but I do recognise my percieved whiteness and gender gives me privileges others don't have.

I am impressed with both Primo and Dreamblade....two excellent folks who approach life a little differently but both good people none the less.

NOW can I please have a black coffee?

Yes we are very lucky to have members like DB and Primo, even ones like MM:wink2: There are many here that make HUBGFE a fun and entertaining board to be on. But maybe we should let this thread die, I'm sure MAL is revelling in the fact that he is is still being talked about

Aw shucks, guys! Thanks! :blush2:

I'm convinced he's back and loving every word in this thread.

I'm a sapiosexual person, which means that intelligence is my biggest turn on. Prim0 has always been one of my favourite posters here on HUBGFE, and I have to admit that watching Dreamblade and Prim0 interact is very pleasurable for me.
