I'm not playing your game. If you are truly interested then go back and read the posts like I did.

Well if you haven't seen how some people were lumped together, taken to task because they didn't choose to use the "appropriate" wording to suit everyone on the planet then all I can say is you turned a blind eye to it to be in the popular crowd. See the previous post where it was said that ALL of Arizona deserved what they were getting because the idiots were voted back into office. Not all voted for the idiots.

Laughs, like I said I'm not playing your game. I don't answer to you or anyone else for that matter. If you want to be fair minded then you'd go read yourself.

And to the posting of those 2 little posts where the bend over backwards supposedly happened. I believe you were the one that said everyone in the state of Arizona was getting what was coming to them, I could be wrong and if so I do apologize. You can bend over backwards all day long saying something but the however that quickly follows immediately negates the bending over backward part.

I have an errand to run, ya'll have fun!

Actually, I said that people who do not vote get what they deserve, meaning they get the government that they deserve.

Insert apology here.

Sorry I don't bend over for anyone, have a nice night, I still wish you would back up your accusations, but I can see that isn't going to happen.

Below are two people who attempted to clarify that nobody is vilifying every person who lives in AZ, nor is anybody saying that every person who lives in AZ is a big mean racial profiler who is sucking on Jan Brewers dirty toes.

That should clear everything up. I even cut Aj's post down to smaller and bolded the part I was talking about specifically so you didn't have to read her entire post - I know how much you hate to do that.

However - the majority of the people that live in Arizona must be. The evidence of this is easy enough to find, that awful Brewer woman got elected this November (evidence 1) and public opinion polls show that the majority of Arizona residents are in favour of her shitty bill (evidence 2).

So while OBVIOUSLY the people responding to this thread DO GET that not every single person who lives in AZ is a racist douchebag - the fact remains that THE STATE of Arizona (the State being Arizona's politicians, policies, police force, people in charge and popular vote) IS indeed racist. That is the name that Arizona has made for itself.

It's like when I say "America is a bully". I obviously don't think that Nat, Aj, Snow, or my American spouse are bullies - but I DO think that America (her military reach, her foreign policy, her talking heads, her most vocal voters) IS a bully. That is the place that she's carved out for herself in the world.

I DO think that it is incumbent upon people in Arizona to be aware of what is happening (but that is because I think it's incumbent upon all citizens to be aware of what is happening) but that is quite a far cry from saying you should claim that hatred.

It seems to me that the AZ residents are taking some of this overly personal. No one is saying that you or Cody are personally in favor of this law--unless and until you give us reason to believe that you are. The people who wrote this law are responsible. The people who voted for Ms. Brewer or any other politician who supports it are responsible. Anyone who didn't vote is responsible.
