I saw a bumper sticker today by the pickle ball courts that said: "If my dog doesn't like you I probably won't either." In other words, it is your problem if my dog takes a disliking to you and bites you.

Yes, biting you was exactly what they were thinking...

And you can call me any name you want and I don't care that I didn't know what "halal" is, and I will never care what it is.

But you are right about one thing----after 9/11, I would never take care of a "muslim" patient----not out of hate, but because I couldn't trust myself.

you are entitled to your feelings. this isn't the place to express them.

it was well said, and well done.

You were out of line expressing your hatred on this thread.
Whatever your reasons for feeling justified for your racism, it doesn't belong here.

Yes. He was addressing a post expressing racism and hatred. Very appropriate to make a statement against that, no matter how "in vogue" it has become.

With my last comment I'll step away form further conversation about the racist post.

I agree, I lost it.

But if you want a reason, try 2,996 dead on 9/11 including 2 good friends and my 1st cousin

It is not "racism" to remember

However, I would like to apologize to the forum for my outburst, well, all except 1

How this thread got to be a discussion about my tagline is amazing. A couple of weeks ago a poster sent me a pm suggesting places i might find Halal or Kosher meats.

Here is my reply..

You obviously are writing about my tagline.

Let me explain..lol.

Im neither Muslim or Jewish. Im not seeking Halal meats.
The tagline grew out of a post I made years ago asking about Halal Chicken and Rice. Having worked in NYC for my entire career, I grew fond of the Halal Chicken and rice bought from the many vendors on NYC streets.

I posted saying we need some halal vendors here in tv. I think i wasnt even living here yet but had visited many times and intended to retire here. The post was basically tongue-in-cheek but it created a mini firestorm of replies. Many were quite angry that i wanted Arab food because “they blew up the World Trade Center”. If you know the poster GracieGirl, she was funny...saying that “where i come from we dont eat that fancy food..we like beans over corn bread”..lol.

Some posters chimed in and pointed out that food is not political. But one poster finally explained that i was simply talking about street vendor food that is very prevalent in NYC.

I always promised GracieGirl that if i could perfect the recipe here, i would make it and deliver her some of this “fancy” food. Unfortunately, i could never get it right.

So i decided to use that tagline.

But thanks for letting me know where i could get Halal...perhapsThey have hala chicken and rice.

Islam is not a race. It is a religion. And by the way it is Christians who are the most persecuted in the world today. And almost all of them are not Caucasian.

As far as my post goes, I apologize to you. I was guilty of doing what others have done to me----not understand a joke for what it is and go off on it. On a thread about golf a week ago, in responding to the suggestion that ambassadors be given more power to move the pace of play along, I suggested that would risk turning them into "golf Nazis", an obvious humorous reference to Seinfeld and the "soup Nazi". Obvious to most, but the same poster on this thread that has a broomstick where it doesn't belong went on again about "hate" and "Nazis", like a real Nazi would have anything to do with a golf ambassador.
What I posted about 9/11 is the mere tip of the iceberg regarding my personal experience that day and in the aftermath. No, it is not right to condemn 1.5 billion for the actions of 20 and I realize it. I did have a problem with the total silence from that part of the world in not condemning the attacks. So I am a bit sensitive to anything that reminds me of it. But no problem with food!

I got $50 that says there are signs posted at these parks warning to use at your own risk.

Wait... That is EXACTLY what many on this board INSIST that dog owners do...Lest they pee on their grass and kill their entire lawn!

Maybe grandpa offered to give the OP his info but the OP became threatening and angry and grandpa got scared and just left. I don’t know this because Just like everyone else here I wasn’t there!

If his dog bit someone, he is guilty of leaving the scene without giving any contact information...
