    "Truth" that always seems to hurt only other people (whether certain groups, or others in general) is surely skewed. (All have the same disease of sin, in whatever behavior it may manifest).
    So now, just being poor equates to "entitlement"!

    Entitlement? Your words not mine.

    Do you believe all the working poor are lazy and criminally oriented? That is what Newt seems to be saying.

    No, no no; I was building upon what you said! That last sentence was tongue-in-cheek, and "entitlement" was seekingtruth's word.

    Oops, sorry Eric. I guess I need another cup of coffee this morning.

    Where I grew up everyone was poor and everyone worked hard. Those who could not work were either taken care of by their relatives or were placed in the poor farm. Bad old days for sure.

    Maybe some of the folk here want to go back to the days when there was no child labor laws and kids were sent to coal mines at ten or before, paid almost nothing, and no safety laws, so many died and those who lived often died early of black lung disease.

    I don't know what you were implying. You are the only one I know who keeps a numbered track record of what races you allow into your home.

    Now you are calling us racists. I have reported that post.

    " (does anyone actually have the old push mower anymore?)"

    I looked at one when looking for a new mower but the horrible memories of using one when a small kid mowing lawns for a quarter would not allow me to purchase it :)

    I use a non-powered push mower, but I have a very small lawn.

    Hmm, must have touched a raw nerve. I was thinking of several other words with which to fill the *******. You filled the blank with your reaction, not mine.

    Yeah, right. I'm sure the asterisks block out a really nice word.
    Stop your lies, C.T.Boy.

    Why do you feel it's OK to be dishonest ?

    Alright, cool. Can I now use symbols to call people names, like C.T.Boy ? This could be fun.

    You are on my ignore list to prevent you from sending me nasty P.M.s.

    Do you have anything of substance ? Are Newt supporters racist ? Why ?

    Should we be able to say anything we want, as long as the word is asterisked out ? Is that a legit debate tactic ?

    Or is this just another one of your weak taunts ?

    Why would I want to send you a PM. If I really wanted to talk to you I would call you on the telephone.

    Oh, so now you are going to deny the P.M.s ?

    Really ?

    You haven't sent me P.M.s ?

    BTW, I got rid of my land line after Terry Herrington called my house.

    So, are Newt supporters racist ? Why ? C.T.Boy says they are, but only offers twisted words and opinion for proof. Is he correct ? Can you show us that Newt supporters deserve to be called "racists" ?

    Actually, you stated to me you were going to give Newt a second look, after you saw him on the couch with Queen P.. Can I call you a racist ? Does C.T.Boy's asterisk collection describe you ?

    Curtis, you're one of the most abrasive posters on here. Why don't you put on your *** *** ***** and own up to it instead of spending your time attacking other posters? You constantly call people dishonest without cause and question other posters' salvation. You need to take the beam out of your own eye.

    Sorry, Paul. You have zero authority here, seein's how you lied about who you were to even get on here.

    But perhaps you can answer my question. Are Newt supporters racist ?
