Next time is on you though, just so you know. ;)

Ah, well if you're slapping around the forum punching bag just to pass the time I completely understand :)

Unfortunately alkemyst and I have a history. The mods asked me nicely not to address him directly but didn't say anything about talking very loudly across the table, if you will. I find it rather enjoyable so you'll probably see me at the next little get-together.

Check out the same pictures since you said you had access to them and notice my necklack and jeans in the others.

The pics that you have questioned were mostly due to overexposure...I will post another later to OWN you from home. Sonambulo may have some from when he was stalking me. I think he is still hurting I turned him down even when he offered me a crack rock.

But you will just cry about your inferior floppy military body. I think in every thread you find a spot to mention you are in the military in some way. Making up for other _short_comings I guess.

stay tuned...

It's so funny what people consider "thuggish" or "hood" yet it's all subjective to where you live. Regardless, why judge a person in this first place? Can you blame a person from the streets that is stuck in the streets? They are a product of their environment and yes there are some people that are aware of better things out there and that's great but again, how are you going to judge someone unless you were them?

If the mods told you to do something it was not from me....I didn't know you were supposed to call out mod actions though.

You guys are badass though....boo ya!

I'll do it for you, he needs to shut the fuck up, all from the bullshit posts with fake pics to the real pics of his fat arse were useless and this discussion is just him showing his racial bias.

Besides, he's boring the living daylights out of me, he needs some kind of punishment just for that. ;)

Christ, can't you just learn NOT to post when you've posted pictures that are not the right hair or skin colour?

You're fucking white and blonde.

Pictures you post now are of a black man with black hair...

SERIOUSLY, go away you stupid twat.

Sad you are so bored in life...you'd think a studly Airforce hero would have women flocking to them....

It's funny you don't believe that picture is me...shows how jealous and insignificant you must feel...

what a loser.

I am also very tan and during the summer my hair is light in front but still darker in back.

Later I will post that crappy pic. Just compare the necklace and jeans...you will be so owned.

I've never claimed to be any kind of hero, i'm a Captain but not a hero. For those who wish to name me that, it's up to them, note that i have NEVER said i'm a hero though and your lies just continue.

I have two children, right now that is all i care about, women will be there, they always are.

It's ok to insult me, i'm not trying to say i'm anything except what i am, what you or others think about it is up to you, i don't care, i know me better than any of you ever will.

However, i know your type too, and you are indeed pathetic.

The was a recent thread about that. Apparently no one pissed on him, either. I did read that some guy took of his pants and helped 'put the fire out'. I don't know what that means, though.

Yeah, from dark haired white chest with blonde hair that turns blond in the summer but for some fucked up reason your hair tans as well as your body to the shade of fucking black?

You post a pic of yourself, from the front with the pic you used to post and everyone can compare for themselves.

Anything else is useless.

I don't really care about most things that people say about anything, but when you imply that my children should never have been born you are crossing a line.

I don't care about insults to my person as you have noticed in this thread, it doesn't bother me at all, keep that up but leave my children out of it.

To answer the OP, many people use a localized accent or cultural dialect, even if they are well educated. It has to do with their upbringing and the circumstances of the situation. It has nothing to do with being a minority. Standard English might be the norm for the educated, but sometimes people feel more comfortable speaking in the vernacular to which they are accustomed to. Talking like a "gangster" (gangsta) offers a sense of confidence, and sometimes adds humor if intentional. Again, it's not limited to minorities. For instance, many Southerners who have a strong accent and vocabulary that might seem strange to non-Southerners might "drop" or change their speech when they move to another place (New York, for example). But in a situation talking to other Southerners, they might use that accent, or use their extended vocabulary.

You should learn to be comfortable even if people aren't using the Midwestern "non-accent" or "standard American English". Speaking "proper" English 100% of the time does not mean a person is intelligent or cultured any more than anyone else.
