What a load of bull.  You met no one.  





I could be totally wrong, but I believe he has not only met several people from here, he even married one.


You are absolutely correct thishereboi.....the OP has met at least 35-40 people from CM. In fact, my profile photo is from the wedding reception.



kittinSol -> RE: Positive Experience ... Negative Backlash (5/6/2009 3:40:11 PM)

Still... does anyone know what the thread is about?



MadAxeman -> RE: Positive Experience ... Negative Backlash (5/6/2009 3:48:13 PM)

It's about 23 posts now.
The interesting thing is he was derided until his identity was known.
What difference should that have made?
Bleedin' fascists, what have they ever done for us?



DesFIP -> RE: Positive Experience ... Negative Backlash (5/6/2009 4:01:11 PM)

So if the op is pirate, why the name change and references to things nobody gets? Too confusing to me.

I always knew it was Pirate. But who are the fascists? It's kafkaesque.

Probably over the idiocy of the attitudes from many towards any opinions the OP offers on topics on CM and thus being crudely told the OP has no bloody idea what he's talking about simply because he's from the UK? Yet a person's valued opinion is valid regardless if they reside in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia or even South Africa.



kittinSol -> RE: Positive Experience ... Negative Backlash (5/6/2009 4:10:55 PM)

Oh well, that's a given - the number of times I've been told I had no place to talk about anything on these boards because I wasn't an American citizen... are innumerable  [:D] .

Exactly...and I miss his previous profile which used to be on here...

Someone, quite possibly the artist formerly known as Pirate, though there seems to be a degree of disagreement on the matter, has been meeting people from CM; which for reasons known only to the OP qualifies the rest of his statement, and the crux of the statement seems to be that undisclosed American types have been calling him names because he ain't god damn, mother fuckin', American already, and the OP has spent some time in isolation considering the implications of the aforementioned Americanism and concluded that Collarme is shite. That's pretty much it in a nutshell.

Meanwhile, I've been busying myself seeking customer feedback from the English population, that is those sections of the English population that matter, on whether or not I have transcended hitherto rock solid barriers of human capabilty. According to this feedback, and who I am to disagree, a new, half man/half god species will be appearing in the book of evolution soon and it will consist solely of one individual.

That's pretty much it, Kitten, not much else to report from over here. Same old eh.



breatheasone -> RE: Positive Experience ... Negative Backlash (5/6/2009 4:19:21 PM)

So some Americans were mean to this guy cause he is from another country?...Well thats not nice!.... and i am sorry that happened. You can rest ASSURED not all Americans are mean like that.

Normally I would ask suspiciously: Are they not???

But due to my current involvement with Mr. Adorable I agree, that some americans are nice...difficult to understand at times, but nice...(at least as long as I don't dare to snap at them or to show attitude...then somehow they turn bossy...but heck that happens to me all the time in UK, so thats not new to me to be seen as the bad one...)

UGH...is that what I have to look forward to from the cub? Sure hope not for his sake!



breatheasone -> RE: Positive Experience ... Negative Backlash (5/6/2009 4:38:35 PM)

Do people from other countries really think American people are mean?? Man.... that makes me seriously SAD.... i love my Country, and have always been kinda proud of us ....i was under the impression we were a nice people....i always felt we were....

In the interests of balance, the last time I was in Berlin I spent the best part of an hour listening to the hotel owner ranting about how the English monarchy, every other monarchy, the English people and every other people, but the English people in particular, are in fact German; and he was adamant that Germany owns the world. I've condensed the hour into a sentence, naturally, but I only asked the mad fucker for directions to the nearest tube station.

Can you blame us for getting a bit uptight when you start getting uppity on our island?



kittinSol -> RE: Positive Experience ... Negative Backlash (5/6/2009 4:42:44 PM)

Well, there is no such thing as 'a nice people'. Some cultures are more hospitable than others, but really I don't think any one nationality is friendlier than another. It's individuals that are nice.



FourQ -> RE: Positive Experience ... Negative Backlash (5/6/2009 4:46:02 PM)

I completely understand what JB's referring to.
It's the attitudes of most of the American population in that if you're not from America then you're not worth knowing, your opinion isn't worth shit and why should they be remotely bothered?

I appreciate this isn't the case with every American out there.  Hell, some I even consider my friends but the vast majority of the yanks I've seen online over the years are so discriminate against others that it's ridiculous.  I was flamed years ago in IRC because I'd spelled colour properly which resulted in screen after screen of people quoting "US English" at me.

FFS, the world does not start and end with America, so why does the attitudes and opinions of the inhabitants?

I can tell you one thing: the colonies ain't what they used to be [8D] .



Kalista07 -> RE: Positive Experience ... Negative Backlash (5/6/2009 4:46:42 PM)

i'm not one who's into cryptic 'bullshit'.....No offense, intended Pirate.... i wish i could tell You things will change. i wish i could tell You that the people who responded so 'harshly' when they were not aware of who You were was somehow a mistake or misunderstanding.... But, i can not and will not lie to anyone.  The reality here is that there are many sick, angry, hateful, lonely and sad people in this world..... That's the harsh reality of it.. People are sick...and the are angry...Most of all they are miserable, and like it or not misery loves company. 
Here's what keeps me coming back......Not just here but plenty of other places as well.  Hope.  People continue to give me hope that they  can change, they can grow, they can learn to love. i don't live in this namby pamby world, but it exists somewhere within me. At the end of the day, i am forced to ask myself, "what have i done to better this place?" (place can mean town, country, website, whatever).... Rarely has a day occured when i've had to tell myself nothing..... But, again i know i'm not normal by most American's standards....
Truth be told, i'm not all that patriatich. Don't get me wrong, i'm grateful i wasn't born in Russia for a variety of reasons..... But, the truth is i do not now, nor will i likely in the future, know anything of my genetic or cultural heritage..So i just am...i am just a person...i am just a woman....i am just a human...
So, Jonnie why stay???? Uhm, because where else could you get to see my thoughts? {eek...That was probably not a good answer}...Because when all else fails i live by two philosophies.....#1. Fuck them if they can't take a joke ............. #2. Keep on smiling an treating them well......it will make them wonder what you are up to.

Kali
