And Christmas is a fake holiday made up about a convicted criminal put to death by the Romans; someone who wasn't even born on December 25th.

What's your point, dimwit?



You do realize that ALL holidays are fake, right? They are simply made up out of thin air about anything a bunch of people decide they are going to celebrate.

Like our fake Federal holiday of New Years Day, a totally fake, arbitrary holiday which has nothing to do with the measurably real solar new year. And New Years in China is not the New Years in America or the New Years in Israel. What's with that? It's like it's fake or something. They use different calendars. And every few centuries a new calendar is adopted somewhere and New Years changes to another day yet again.

Or like our Federal holiday of Thanksgiving. It was made up by a bunch of people who decided they were going to celebrate giving thanks on the third Thursday in November. It's a different number day each year, sometimes the 25th, sometimes the 26th, sometimes the 28th, totally arbitrary and made up. And it is only celebrated in one country. How fake is that? There is nothing real about it beyond what people decide is real about it, just like New Years, just like Kwanzaa.

But johnforbes is so petty and just plain ignorant that he doesn't understand that his whole cultural life is built on a bunch of arbitrary lies as he denigrates holidays celebrated by other cultures and ethnic groups. To intellectually provincial johnny, if it ain't American and white, it must be "fake" somehow.

Meanwhile, johnforbes sees nothing fake about a holiday that celebrates some guy who allegedly drove the snakes out of Ireland. I'm serious. I didn't make that up.

johnforbes is doing that right now with this racist thread, dummy.

He's saying equally silly 'white' holidays are somehow "real" and thus deserve to be observed while 'black' holidays are "fake" and thus shouldn't be celebrated in his America.

But a racist such as yourself is simply blind to the racism around you, even your own admitted racism. You think such beliefs are merely self-evidently true and thus not really racist at all.
#129005
That's not what I said and that's not what YOU said either, dimwit.

You said "I bet no one told the niggers not to gather and celebrate it..!" which is what johnforbes is doing with this thread. Why are you now changing what you said to "kept you from"? The first requires only rude and unkind words, the other requires a gun. They aren't the same thing, but they are both wrong.

You clowns consider yourselves quite magnanimous because you consider yourselves tolerant enough to 'allow' others to observe their own chosen holidays.

You aren't being gracious or generous or even tolerant, dummy. You're just being condescending assholes.

It is not at all poignant that johnforbes now sees his recommended COVID (non)response of letting the virus run rampant in order to reach herd immunity sooner.

We see hospitals full to capacity, hospitals turning away patients, and hospitals begin rationing care. We have nearly 4000 Americans dying each day, and it is likely to get worse. We have some funeral homes refusing to take new bodies, and those that do are putting them into portable refrigerated containers out in the parking lot.

This is the heart of johnforbes made manifest in a hard reality. He finally gets to see the death and medical system collapse that he has advocated for all year. He finally gets to see his vision of America win out over those bleeding heart liberals who refuse to silently tolerate Republican policies that kill people en masse as Trump holds yet another superspreader party at Mar-a-Lago.

And then johnforbes smugly jokes about terminally broken hearts, one of them being his own, as we stare at the bleak reality of his Trump-supporting vision for America. Sadly, it's historically mighty white of him.

Years ago ..our company hired a young black guy just out of high school for the summer.
Every chance he got... he bitched about how the white man was holding him back...
He wanted to know why the local "Charo Association " refused him admission..lol
Best I know the Charo Association is for Hispanic business men and professionals who
go around to their equestrian events and acting like plantation owners....
Turns out he had been awarded a scholarship to Baylor Medical School...
Poor, poor nigger, just another victim..! :laugh:
#129015
Wow, that story reminds me of all the perfectly healthy armed white supremacists who are bitching about how immigrants and blacks are somehow keeping them down. And they bitch and moan so much they are willing to start a civil war over the injustice of it all; being born white in America--it doesn't get any tougher than that, does it.

How do you explain that, silly? They aren't "niggers" but they sound exactly the same as your one black guy.

Or are they all just "white niggers" and "victims"?
#129018
It looks more like you are participating in that biennial Republican tradition of unConstitutional election fraud as you are supporting Trump this time in his now-clearly-documented attempt to "find" another 11,780 votes in Georgia to overthrow an already legally certified and audited vote count.

johnforbes dreams of the day he can celebrate the new white fake holiday commemorating the founding of a Trump dictatorship and our soon-to-be "fake" democracy where elections are run by the military.

Republican 'conservatism' (actually authoritarianism) is finally showing its true colors and its vile nature is being seen for what it is--corrupt to the core.

And johnforbes is there cheering it on, trying to distract us all by trying to bury us all under more piles of made up stupid shit while he cheers on the thousands of daily COVID deaths which are the manifestation of his horrifying political philosophy.
#129022
If only sillydummy were actually joking. But that's the way he really feels.

He considers himself a tragic victim of all those privileged immigrants and blacks who are simply better than he is.

You know, the ones who take all the jobs from whites and earn the money that pays for his Medicare and Social Security and Veterans benefits.

Let's all wish johnforbes a "Happy St. Patrick's Day" to celebrate his preferred fake "holiday" about a guy who isn't even a real saint. How fake is that?

But at least the guy is white, so, to johnforbes, it's a legitimate fake "holiday" and not ridiculous at all when people make fools of themselves wearing silly hats and getting drunk on green beer.

Top o' the mornin' to ye, 'Oh johnny Boy' you silly little man!

"Top o' the mornin' to ye, 'Oh johnny Boy' you silly little man!"-me

"My aunt, who is 93, emailed me this morning to wish me the same."-johnforbes


I have to say, johnny, that I'm surprised your 93-year-old aunt called you a "silly little man!" but I guess she should know.
#130046
She is quite a gal, taught school 40 years.

Her husband, who died recently in his late 90s, had to leave school in the 6th grade to work on the family farm.

He got wounded sllghtly on Guadalcanal, recovered, and later participated in the invasion of Luzon.

Under my aunt's guidance, he began reading books and, you know, sort of educated himself just by decades of reading although don't think he ever even earned a GED.
#130064
No, he actually became quite a self-educated guy because, married to a teacher, he took up the same nightly reading habit she had.

In fact, I think he enjoyed asking people who had gone to college if they had read this or that book which they often had not read but he had.

As Eric Hoffer showed, an educated man may have no formal schooling at all.

Or a person like Clown, with his A.A. degree from the Eastern Swamp School of Welding, may still be uneducated.

John Forbes was educated at the school of "Hard Knocks."

Trump who claimed he was a 'stable genius' threatened to sue the university if his transcripts were released. And the enemies of America are starting to realize that Biden is no chump like Trump.
#130152
We should all wish johnforbes a belated "Happy New Year" (Newroz, the beginning of the New Year, was observed yesterday)

We know johnforbes thinks all ages-old, long-observed holidays are legitimate but new holidays aren't, so he undoubtedly celebrated the new year yesterday.
#130153
In part, I was educated on agricultural and other manual labor jobs.

Conversational Spanish can come in handy in Cancun or Acapulco, but also in Houston or D.C.

But society is pretty much tantamount to hypocrisy, so I recognized that pieces of paper written in Latin and framed could also prove helpful.
#130258
Conservatives are the modern day poster children for hypocrisy.

Now let's give kudos to the army of brave 0 Republicans who have called for Gaetz to resign for being the modern day poster boy of sleaze.....now that is what you call profiles in courage.
#130266
And notice there hasn't been a peep out of that "Q" conspiracy clown about politicians' child trafficking and child sex abuse based on less evidence than there is against Gaetz?

Just a few days ago he built his whole bullshit scam for dimwits on the premise of D.C. politicians engaged in it, but suddenly he hasn't got a thing to say about it any longer.

Why is that? Trump supporters?... Bueller?...

"The name of the road where I live is indeed called "Mire of Darkness."-johnforbes

Yes, johnny, and the small dead-end cul de sac where your house is located is appropriately called "Rightist Dishonesty Place"

(I checked it on google maps.)
#130356
"Oh I'm all alone now, no love to shield me,
trapped in a world that's a distorted reality"-rest of johnforbes' plaint omitted from his previous post

Sorry to hear how Trump and the Republicans have destroyed your life, johnny.

You might take some solace in the fact that Trump did that to MUCH of America. You aren't really alone.

Many of them are STILL refusing to get the vaccines that Trump supporters want so badly for Trump to get credit for. How does any sane person reconcile such contradictory beliefs of their distorted reality?

Perhaps you can share your insights as a fellow partisan distorted reality victim and Trump-supporter insider?

Once again johnforbes demonstrates his inability to understand basic English.

OIbviously, I did not say "it is always good to see [him]." johnfibs lied, as always.

I said "It would be good to see you" if and only if you would stop whining.

But since you will never stop your whining, anyone who understands grade school English would conclude it is never good to see you.
