Oh, ok. Thanks for da clarification.

we should just drop this though, because its not part of the topic and should have been addressed in a private manner.

It' hard to make a "general" statement in private, krazy.

Don't start talking about bald people *rubs pate* .uh...jdos might hear. Yeah, .....jdos. *looks around nervously*

LOL, I'm amazed anyone here even remembers me. It's been awhile judging by the 2500 new posts since my last visit :tongue: <w00t! x2 for new smilies>

People associate Bald, Shaved Heads with Skinheads. Does that make everyone who is Bald a potential race hater???

Nope, but it sure accounts for all the staring when I'm hanging out in Detroit with friends (who happen to be black). Good thing I stopped wearing combat boots all the time or there might have been trouble. rcpoursu Heh!

On topic, I must say, people will read into any image, statement, gesture, etc. whatever they want and will invent ways to be offended based on their preconceived notions. Personally, I choose not to waste valuable brainpower pretending to worry about it.

Oh, and, PHEAR TEH CRANIUM!! :wink:

Or invent ways to offend others, which I think is the case with Pot of Avarice overhear. Sounds more like people were just lookign for ways to stir the ... uh ... pot.

Those camoflauge pant may have been giving the wrong impression as well. p p p

It has been a while since I saw a post by you so welcome back, hopefully you didn't go into withdrawal being away from here so long.

No, Pot of Avarice looks like Babu from I Dream of Jeanie cartoons; is anyone out there old enough to remember "Yapple Dapple"? Please tell me I'm not the only one who sees Pot as Babu's twin.
