No, you'd prob get me arrested and tried for a whole host of crimes.

The idea that you don't even seem to have thought twice and STILL don't see it as a big deal is what's alarming, not the fact that you did it all those years ago. Like using the word "negro" because back in the middle of the century it was acceptable.
I didn't put ANYBODY'S life at risk, you dipstick. Again, you're betraying your utter ignorance. You obviously have NO IDEA what a starter pistol is.

You're still not smart enough to catch the point: That point being that culture is markedly different now. The fact that you cannot understand that things were different BEFORE YOU WERE BORN is YOUR problem, not mine. You USED to be able to carry knives onto airplanes - but you can't now. And guess what? It WASN'T WRONG back then. Just last week, the inspector at the airport pulled shampoo out of my hygiene bag. Can you tell me why he did that - or when they started doing that? Durrrrrr...

And your comparison of this to the use of the word "negro" indicates further stupidity on your part. There is no correlation whatever.


So you have a choice: You can continue to make yourself look like an idiot, or you can just tuck your tail between your legs and walk away. I'd suggest you stick to eating your Cap'n Crunch your mommy puts in the bowl for you.
