Shoals Freedom of Americal Festival 2015

There are some who decline to attend because of the boorish behavior of other participants.

This event draws more than the usual complement of redneck slobs.

Sounds like fun.

And when you're there beternnun, it has more than it's share of boring, boorish prigs.

____

You continue to be obsessed with the objective of posting something negative in response to anything I post. Talk about obsession! You are a poster child for obsession!

You can't be serious beternnun. Do you even realize how you post? You don't consider your post negative? Please!!

You are truly confused.  Yes, I  post information and comment that is "negative" in the sense of being critical of things that i believe need to be criticized.  You do that too, and with great regularity.

I believe we can agree that there is much subject matter in this corrupt world about which such "negative" commentary is appropriate.

But YOUR negative demeanor, as I described it above, is your obsession, fetish or compulsion to find something--anything--to  criticize and to even insult, in just about anything I post.  Do not deny that you follow me in pursuit of that objective; it is very evident what you are up to.  It is becoming a joke.

Insult? Well yes indeed.  Examples:

"And when you're there beternnun, it has more than it's share of boring, boorish prigs."

"The ones trolling for trouble but not finding it because you lefties have your lips planted firmly on their behinds are the illegals."

"Beternnun is too funny semi. I'm reading him calling me what HE actually is. If ever a deranged misanthrope existed it's beternnun!  "

=======================

You're the joke. I don't have to 'find' anything in your posts to criticize, it's always there, they're most always negative. Either you're calling people rednecks and such, or you're making fun and trying to demean people for little mistakes in their posts, when you make as many mistakes as any one makes, and get all bent out of shape when you're made fun of for doing it.  Remember your little 'correction' that wasn't a correction? Down's Syndrome. You really need to stop doing that, you look foolish. Do I even have to mention the multiple threads you make on the same subject? I don't follow you anywhere you twit. I am free to post anywhere on these forums I wish, and as I posted before, it's usually YOU that posts your smart *** remarks to me and others first. You're so obsessed you posted on my own thread that I was following you.  You didn't have anything to say after I pointed that out to you!

"And when you're there beternnun, it has more than it's share of boring, boorish prigs."

"The ones trolling for trouble but not finding it because you lefties have your lips planted firmly on their behinds are the illegals."

"Beternnun is too funny semi. I'm reading him calling me what HE actually is. If ever a deranged misanthrope existed it's beternnun!  "

======================

Your point? Now go back and post the insults YOU made to me, semi, jack, and others first. BTW genius, you do remember calling me those names first, or is that just one more lapse in your memory? I meant what I said about lefties with their lips planted on the illegals behinds. Sorry if the truth hurts.

I stopped going down for the fireworks after the time that everything detonated all at once.  I found that my own fireworks display was more fun, actually involved the kids, could be started and ended according to my schedule, came with a better view and better seating, the bathrooms were closer and cleaner, parking was much better, and there was no traffic.  Never went back.

Truth sometimes hurts but the blithering nonsense you blurt out does not.

=====================

Yes, the truth I post about you absolutely kills you. Why don't you work on that? You post no truths. I know you love the words 'blithering and blurting', but I would think that anyone as smart as you try to convince us you are, would know, as I have pointed out to you before, you can't 'blither or blurt out' in writing, and I don't blither or blurt out anything in 'real life'. I would bet though that you sure sputter and grunt, and blither. You think everyone is entitled to your opinions and not their own. Get over yourself. You insult me and not only can I take it without crying, I can give it back to you. You don't impress me.

This is a TALK forum, Best, and although no one literally "talks" on here it is nevertheless a TALK forum.  Using "blurt" and "blither" to characterize certain "talk" on a TALK forum  is consistent with current use of terminology equating writing in a TALK forum as "talk." Thus, I am appropriately characterizing such inane TALK as you post . Such subtleties probably escape your simplistic mentality.

=================

No, this isn't a "talk" forum. I can't even post nice try on your part, it was pathetic. My mentality is fine, yours however, never that great to begin with, has fallen even lower lately. If you don't want to be 'corrected' stop doing it to others. As posted, you make as many mistakes as anyone. Who cares about a typo, a dropped *s*, the wrong use of a word?

Best blithers:

"Who cares about a typo, a dropped *s*, the wrong use of a word?"

The "wrong use of a word" might be insignificant to you and others who do not respect the English language, but that attitude. though deplorable is, alas, not uncommon

Could you give me a detailed description of a redneck slob?

=====================

And beternnun continues to use words that don't apply to written/typed statements. Respect for the English language? What about YOUR mistakes professor DA? You still won't address them. How is a missed letter disrespect? Deplorable, drama queen? Again, get over yourself. There are millions 'disrespecting' the language and the country, but you and your ilk can't ship them in fast enough to put on the voter roll. Your faux outrage has worn thin.

___

You just read into things what you imagine to be there, Best. You ask, "How is a missed letter "disrespect?"  When I raised the issue of disrespect, it was not with regard to a "missed letter."  It had to do with something quite different, namely the "wrong use of a word." I am not surprised that you fail to see the difference between these decidedly different things, though.  You are not seeking intelligent dialogue; you are just panting and drooling to find ANYTHING to harangue  me about. And in your inordinate haste to accomplish that, you have lost your ability to distinguish between unlike entities.

There is no intelligent dialog to be had with you beternnun. Again, you're a prig that is only interested in scouring posts for any mistake, no matter how small, and making a big deal out of it. I don't 'pant and drool' bill, er, beternnun. I leave the panting and drooling to you when a decent poster making a decent post or thread, uses the wrong spelling of a word or drops a letter. That's when your old gnarled fingers start itching to dance across the keyboard so you can make your snarky posts. Again, you don't answer for your mistakes.

I don't know about that.

I pulled up a 2014 YOUTUBE  video of this event. 12 minutes long.

I didn't know rednecks could afford such fine water vessels as the variety of cabin cruisers, jet ski's, and bass boats anc****d about.

And the parking lot was filled with Lexus, Equanox, and a variety of new cars. Not many '74 FORD 4X4's around.

Yeah, there is an abundance of White folk present. Some tacky. FAT..skinny .funny attire...dragging little kids around. Pushing them in strollers.

But, there is also a representation of folks whom have gone from red necks, to totally Black necks.

And Black bodies. Is there such a thing down South as "Negro Rednecks"

Too much time in the sun?

There are also "necks" that appear to be "Latino" necks,

I didn't see the first "Rebel" flag...shotguns...coon dogs...etc.?

All look well behaved , and enjoying the day.

That's why I asked the poster to define a redneck.

I don't go to these events, but, I do think I could blend in, and enjoy myself.

I think this contender guy is a little paranoid...or bigoted...

Do a search on Youtube for this 2014 event. Then, get back to me.

I'm still waiting for an answer I asked contender...His definition of a redneck slob.

You just do not seem to be able to interpret the substance of others' posts.  My post, to which you are attempting to reply, did not address "the wrong spelling of a word or [dropping of] a letter."

Thus you are submitting a straw man response.  Let me remind you of the gravamen of my post:

"When I raised the issue of disrespect, it was not with regard to a 'missed letter.'  It had to do with something quite different, namely the 'wrong use of a word.'" 

You have conveniently ignored that rather telling point and deflected to a critique of something I did not address.  That kind of shallow and evasive tactic is not impressive, Best, other than to impress any intelligent follower that you continue to cravenly disregard anything that demonstrates YOUR error.

Ho hum beternnun. You know I'm right.

I ignored nothing  beternnun. I asked who cares besides you, and the only reason you care is so you can post your little snarky remarks. NO ONE CARES beternnun. You have all you can do keeping up with your mistakes. You don't look intelligent, you look like what you are, small minded.

Well, back on topic:

Snarky post aside, it would be a shame to lose this event.  For those that like this kind of thing, I'm sure it is a great way to celebrate the 4th.  Seems like there would be a lot of opportunity to make it worthwhile for sponsors. 

(I'm considering starting a thread just for Best and Contendah, where they can duke it out without having to make us watch it in every other thread.)

_________

I didn't go but I was told by friends/family that did go that it was a great show & worth going to, even though it did rain.

I've noticed that.

What is the history?

===================

Think of the ones that watched you and bill 'duke it out' every day. That was all you lived for, to fight with him, and anyone that watched must have wanted to watch, because it was the SSDD with you. Maybe you were forcing them. I blocked bill a long time ago, AND finally you, but when I saw this BS statement from you in the other one's reply, I couldn't resist. I love reading a good old hypocrite every once and a while, but I can't take a lot of it. Now, I'd love it too if you could explain how the **** I make you or anyone else watch anything. As mentioned before, there is a block feature and if you and harold put your heads together you may just figure out how to use it. That or ask a five year old child to explain it to you.

_____________________

LOL!!! Keep me on block.  You might consider taking your own advice and putting Contendah on block, too.

________________

Contendah never misses a chance to correct a mistake, and Best never met an opinion she liked.

Not really, Crusty--I just nail the worst mistakes. To comment on all the abuses of the English language that occur on this forum would be too time consuming.
