Well I'm glad Ms Clower didn't have to see all the She-Coons marching yesterday!!
I don't care what anyone says today, you can't have any sort of historical roots in rural MS and not think ol' Jerry was funny, even minorities. I don't remember hearing him talk about "mama" in his routines, but I reckon she was in more than just this one. Priceless!
So I posted something in the Burrell thread about her passing and it doesn't get posted and then you post about her passing. My God pal do you have any integrity.
Why would you post that in a different (Burrell's) thread and expect KF to kowtow to your beckon?
As we often say, if you don't like the fact that KF is a private entrepreneur and this is his site, then start your own. He ignores many of my posts too. But, what the hell, this isn't a government sponsored free speech site. KF is free to steer the discussion any way that he pleases. It is his right.
Oh, 4:20, Kingfish is just a grumpy bugger sometimes. He ignores many of my pithy comments if the tone of 'em doesn't suit his fancy. And yet he allows so many true numbskulls to have their say! Well, anyway, rest in peace, Homerline; you have now shuffled these mortal coils.
Actually I'd already gotten a couple of emails about her passing when the comment was made. Sorry I didn't give credit to anonymous but then I have no integrity.
I wonder did old Macil Ledbetter go to the funeral..
"this isn't a government sponsored free speech site"
Hey DF, there is no "government sponsored free speech site" There is no government sponsored anything, you want something government sponsored, government owned, government run, go to N Korea, China, Vietnam, and many many others.
"this isn't a government sponsored free speech site"
Would you like to learn something about free speech and censorship? Well, here you go, let me know if you need help with the big words,
"Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information. This may be done on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient." Censorship can be conducted by governments, private institutions, and other controlling bodies"
"Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions. In order to improve our community experience, we are temporarily suspending article commenting"
"Censorship in Nazi Germany was extreme and strictly enforced by the governing Nazi Party, but specifically by Joseph Goebbels and his Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda"
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right"
But when people exactly like you hear something you don't like, you censor it and say, "Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from punishment" and when you say something mean, hateful, and downright dangerous, and it gets blocked, you're nothing but FREEDOM OF SPEECH! 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS! YOU'RE CENSORING MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH! You'll say freedom of speech multiple times, you'll say 1st amendment rights multiple times, someone says something you don't like, right after you finish saying FREEDOM OF SPEECH!, you'll censor it and say, "whaaaaaaaaat, I'm not censoring anybody, I don't know what you're talking about"
