Nice twist on the point, but it once again falls into the nether realm of what you want it to mean as opposed to what was actually said.
On the plus side, I'm sure your self esteem has lifted by the affirmation of your peers. It's like you got to sit at the cool kids table.
Look man we really don't need to hear about anything involving nethers again okay?

Strom Thurmond used to bang black women.

Was he racist or not?

They let dain bramaged human funko pop Tito Ortiz be major for 6 months. That speaks volumes to what's going on there.
Well he did wear this shirt and hat so they got their token Hispanic.

Point of fact: If you do a genetic test on anybody, you will find they are part everything. Everybody's a person of color. Even Hitler was, but he was one of the penultimate SOB'S.
Hitler "penultimate"?

Damn, who topped him?

I live in a repbublician shithole, no homeless encampments, no homeless that I've ever seen, very little crime, every service I need is within two miles of me, very little traffic, quiet neighborhood, polite friendly people everywhere I go. It's really nice. The democrat utopias must be incredible places to live. I can't even imagine how fantastic life must be living in the bosom of joy and prosperity. I envy you.
Where do you live?

Mississippi a bottom of the ranking state in most key metrics.

I drove through it in a day a few months after the JFK assassination. Only remember one thing. We were approached by an older black man who clawed at the car and only said one word, over and over... he hissed "whiskey, whiskey ... whiskey". It was somewhat unsettling.

@Greenman hasn't seen racism in the shithole red state Mississippi, and that seems to be true here, it's really only in California and other blue states. Thanks Greenman for helping us see the light!

slight disclaimer - Greenman actually can't see more than two feet in front of his face, and that's through red-tinted GQP glasses even when it happens.

You're hardly the first to misuse that word...no worries. ;)
It's not the first time I misused it. Thanks for the correction!

penultimate means “next to last” or “second to last.” It's probably because it adds an emphatic extra syllable to the word ultimate that people think it somehow means “more” than ultimate—but it really means less.

I mostly knew it from language studies, where it's often used to denote which syllable in a word is stressed.

Next up, perhaps we should explain what "begging the question" actually means. Or maybe the true meaning of "random". :)

Meanwhile, in this back and forth between you and others replying to you, the ones that are being quiet and waiting for an "on topic" post or reply to this thread are the ones sitting at the adults table.
That's for sure. I have been waiting for someone to mention that it's not just Egyptian cotton or Pima cotton but the thread count that matters and weave, Percale or Sateen, that should be factored in, including whether it's organic, hand combed and Fair Trade insured. The highest thread count isn't necessarily the best for sheets. Durability matters.

I just sleep on an old cotton comforter because fitted sheets are job to fit on a mattress. I just throw it over mine. Or a beach towel over a leather couch. For me sheep is a function, not a fashion statement.

Probably somebody who decimated a population by murder.

Crassus originated the term iirc. Though they were his own troops. I'll note that while horrible, decimation was 'only' 10% of the given group. Actual genocide is if course much more extensive.

Decimation is probably right up there with penultimate in tortured terms.
