Maybe you are right. Technically I should change it to "Most Great Men Were Bigots".

Sam are you to ignorant to realize that we have young members here of all Races and Religious beliefs, why do you want to insult these kids?
Great post Remy! Who cares if you're French or not? Apparently I hit a nerve to be blessed with that ultra-long post. I was hoping you weren't French, actually as the alternative is worse. If you indeed are who you say you are, then I view you as the most unproffessional Professional I ever met. what kind of "Psychologist" lambasts people the way you did? What Sergent in the French Marine Commandos doesn't talk/teach about Wilderness Survival or not care about edible plants when they're a member of a Wilderness Survival forum? WE says that he started believing in you right after the Survival Scenario when you "psyco-analyzed everybody. That's about the same time I lost respect for you when you went "Pshyco" on RiM, making him angry enough to quit. That same nonsense spilled over to others just coming onto the forum and Chris started getting complaints; don't think for one minute I'll forget that. Best to be an intellgent imposter than an inept Pro. Also, for the record, the only way I'd ban you is if you started turning Troll again. Au Revoir!:cool:
Gray Wolf: I'll mention Sam's offensive line to Chris to see what he says.
Sam: Define who these "great men" are & what you think makes them so great? A bigot is a Numpty! Gray Wolf is correct; it's an "oxy-moron". By virtue of their "bigotry" they lost any possible claim to "Greatness." they may have had.:cool:
People of all races and religious beliefs can be bigots. Are you to ignorant to know that?
Some folks are gay, some are criminals, some are commies, some are dumb, I'm a bigot. I know what works for me and I stick to it.
Now tell me how am a bigot and how they are not.
The only Great Man on that list is Jesus, & he was no bigot! The rest were just men who were not, in my opinion, all that. Henry Ford was a cruel despot, & while it's true that most of the founding fathers kept slaves, it was not out of "Bigotry", but for financial gain. Many were trying to abolish slavery, but would give in over the fear of Civil War, which finally came about. (Check out the film: "Amistad.") As for your Eruopeon Kings & the Czars, well that's why America went "solo", remember? To get away from those people. Guess America at that time didn't think they were that great either.:cool:
Thank You Sarge, Without question that line is offensive to any age, and to members here that are of many races. But what really bothers me is we're starting to get more and more young people (kids) coming to this forum to learn, and why let them see that, and think that we allow or admire bigots here. I hope Chris understands the seriousness and possible ramifications of allowing those type of statements. Thanks again Sarge.

Well, how I am hurting anybody if I chose to live outside of a multicultural society?

Picture yourself near a stream. Birds are softly chirping in the crisp cool mountain air.
Nothing can bother you here.
No one knows this secret place.
You are in total seclusion from that place called “the world.”
The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.
The water is clear and you can easily make out the face of the person whose head you’re holding under the water.
Look. It’s the person who caused you all this stress. What a pleasant surprise.
You let them up… just for a quick breath… then ploop!… back under they go…
You allow yourself as many deep breaths as you want.
There now… feeling better?
Holy crap RidgeWolf, my hairs growing back! :D
You rock man.
You are correct, in this society, unless the legislature makes being a Bigot a hate crime, right now it's not against the law. In this country you have the right to believe any way you want. However you are NOT adding to the topic of this site which is Wilderness Survival, as opposed to you're declaration of your own racist attitude/beliefs. America is a melting pot & you might be very surprised at what your own gene-pool contains. However I'll not belabor the point; 2 things I don't do is try to reason with unreasonable people or to argue with stupidity. The words directly under your name are offensive & we will deal with that since you are obviously not mature enough to do it yourself. Gray Wolf is right, the young ones coming in don't need to see that kind of garbage posted here! I don't care if you like it or not!:mad:
People who hate the truth call the truth hate. Y'all are the one making it an issue. Anti-war youngsters that come here will be offended by your username.
I'm no more bigoted than yer average minority. Why the double standard for a honest White man, Sarge?
Y'all are the ones posting stupidity. I refute it with facts and play the tired old race card.
BTW, the military is a melting pot. America is still segregated by choice. People vote with their feet.
I'll remove the **** signature. Nobody has ever made an issue of it before.
Yes, I'm making it an issue. Also you posted: "...no more bigoted than your average minority".
Well Sam, 2 wrongs don't make a right. As for my username being "pro-military" is not the same as being a racist. Just because you say you're a White man means nothing to me, like I said, you might be surprised at what your Gene-pool contains. Mine contains DNA from German, irish, Mexican, & Black. My wife has two different tribes of Native-American blood (you know, the ORIGINAL Americans.) mixed in with Irish. The rest of your post I view as your opinion & will not argue against it. I do appreciate your removing the offending line. :cool:
There is nothing wrong with being tribalist.Tell that to most immigrants, Sarge.Quote:

I'm German, English and Scot. For arguments sake their may be a little Hun in there somewhere. Either way I'm of European decent and just as proud as yer average Mexican is of being Mexican.Quote:

Did they teach to keep a blind eye after you left the military. Most census populations are an average of 80% minority or 80% White most areas. An opinion would be that my favorite color is blue. A fact would be that the sky is blue.Quote:

Yeah, I change it to something that suits this forum. You should be more concerned with not offending the newbies with your knee jerk reactionary harassment rather than a harmless line above my avatar.Quote:

I have family that was in the military and earned their rank. You posing as a Sergeant when you were never even in the military offends me. You should change yer username to something less offensive.
Around here I'm too White, Too American, too Southern, too much of an redneck, too uneducated and too experienced in the really really real world to know a lot of the stuff posted here is basically copied and pasted out of a book rather than actually applied. Why isn't the new edible plant section full yet, outdoorsmen? I don't have a digital camera. I don't even own a cell phone. But if I did I would at least take some pictures of some damn plants. 18 years old to own a knife? What is it 35 to drive?
The good thing about me is that I don't think like y'all. Proud Bigot.
well not everyone here is an expert, and while i do agree with you to a point here i think some of what is posted here by some members is learned thru tv or a book and not actual experience that point has been brought up before but everyone is learning i know in my case i focus largely on wild edibles, but as you see i have not posted in that catagory yet, reasons are of my own so you can't say evryone here is a fraud(my word) just because they have not posted in a certain catagory other wise i would have to assume that you are useless in the bush cuz i haven't seen many posts from you garnering any worhtwhile info, but keep coming back you may learn something yet.
What is the point of this thread?:confused:
Okay ya'll I missed a lot being gone and this post (most of it since my last) is going...
well... who knows so here I go.
1. Remy, bro don't you ever leave this forum! Didn't know you had an album out so I'll go get it, checked the link and it was real good. You being French... I think is cool and love the accent:D Yeah everyone Remy is French, me and him had this conversation a while back.
2. Sam Reeves, don't know about you sometimes, your posts are a mix to me. Know this I don't hate you, but I don't understand you either. I am married to a beautiful African/American woman is a lawyer, smart as can be, caring and never asked for one handout in her life and her family is the same way, and their from the city. So maybe I'm some kinda sad sack traitor wannabe wigger in your eyes but I can tell you all African/Americans are not trash.
Now I agree with you both in telling it like it is on any subject and damn the age.
Beo,
I haven't called anybody a fraud. Please don't put words my mouth. Obviously if I have something to say I will say it. This wilderness survival stuff isn't some ancient Chinese secret that is guarded by mute monks. Camping is a major hobby. Nearly everybody owns a tent. Everybody goes camping and your average Joe knows more about the outdoors then some people here give them credit for. This witch hunt y'all have raging is in poor taste.
I don't want to post the same old redundant things have already been discussed over and over. When I do make a suggestion some here automatically shoot it down even though I know from experience that it works. As you well know "survival" of any kind is knowing how to utilize what you have at hand. Personally, I'm more into practical solutions and self sufficiency. Primitive skills are more of a secondary interest. In my opinion Pict, trappinggirl and yourself offer the best hands on information. I have a negative opinion of trapping. not much different than cock fighting or clubbing a baby seal as for as I am concerned.
I don't believe I am responsible for most of the flame wars I get into here. Somehow I'm always forced to defend my personal beliefs based on somebody's misinterpretation of what I said. Once I posted a spoof of a Led Zeppling song and part of my fanclub here took it as a stab at interracial relationships. Nibbling? I almost regret registering here. If this were some town-hall meeting I probably wouldn't have showed back up after the second or third showing. Since it is in the in the comfort of my on home it makes it less personal.
dear sam
look at the word fraud in my post next to it i said my word i was not trying to put words on you, please read all the way through next time.
and i can finally say at last we agree on something, i do not beleive in trapping myself i cannot picture the horro of drowning wether it be human or animal to me there are more human ways to gather a meat source of course that being said i was given crap the other day by a rifle hunter saying bow hunting was inhumane
Here's a thought. If anybody wants to offer advice to anybody under any circumstances, by all means go ahead. If anybody wishes to ask some questions because they deem it necessary, by all means go ahead. I will continue to ask questions when I deem them necessary.
what is your name?
waht is 2 plus 2
what is yor favorite colour?
WE: Nah, don't watch Dr. Phil, nor Jerry Springer or Steve Wilkos, save one time to see what they were doing.:rolleyes: That was enough for me. Still. they did get the big paychecks though.:D
Remy: Since you're on my "ignore" list I haven't a clue to what you're posting; ain't life grand?:rolleyes:
aw come on sarge ya ain't fooling we all your your an opy fan
nora......
Really, humm. The APA has the deffinition of a Psychotherapist as:
Psychotherapist:
An individual, such as a psychiatrist, or psychologist who practices psychotherapy.
Now that really makes me wonder.....
You also left out of your list a major contributor since the 50's, and probably one of the most important. You know the one who is considered the father of REBT you know, the pioneering form of cognitive behavior therapy(CBT). You know..Ellis, the founder of the Albert Ellis Institute, a world-renowned psychotherapy institute.
Actually, maybe you don't...
Yes, what state were you, or are you licensed in, to practice psychotherapy? You do need to be licensed, or you can go to jail.
