Met a genuine, certifiable knuckle-dragging Okie a bit ago. Went down

[karlschneider]

to the corner grocery/baitshop here at my lakeside community for some bread. The lady clerk is a friend as is her son who just got back from Afghanistan and is being sent to Iraq (army) in a week or so. I said "this Iraq debacle is gonna go on for years, I hope Robert doesn't come home in a box."

So this slackjawed moron with a faraway look in his eyes (I would wager a thousand bucks against a cold cup of coffee he was whacked on crank which is popular amongst some of the people around here) says "we just need to nuke those ragheads."

I asked him, "why would you want to do that?"

He sez, "'cause of what they did on Sept 11th."

I told him that there were no Iraqis involved with 9/11 and he informed me that it doesn't matter. All those ragheads are the same kind of bastards. And I'm equally sure this idiotic provincial lout has never been more than 100 miles from the place he was extruded as a result of a drunken gangfuck.
:grr:

1. He would have fit in nicely in 1939 Germany

Makes you wonder how many of them are lurking around.

14. My apologies...I realize I failed to point out that I AM an 'Okie'......

see my other post. (Time to edit expired before I had a chance to make some changes.)

2. Just tell me who the superior race is so I know to steer

clear of them.

3. You'll find that anywhere...

Was this person from Oklahoma? My family were okies during the Great Depression.

4. Hey, my daughter and her husband live in

Oklahoma, I live in Texas, and we all hate the Bushies.

Using that guy's logic, we need to nuke all Christians because of Timothy McVeigh.

And all white males with beards because of the unibomber.

Love those generalizations.

5. LOL! Gotta love the...

Moral Certainty available from tweakers. ;-)

Note: Tweakers tend to have rotten teeth. Crank screws with the relationship between fibroblasts and fibroclasts and the replacement of calcium in the body. Never met a committed tweaker with either pearly whites or a full compliment of them.

6. "okie"

Did you know "okie" is a perjorative term that originally referred to migrants forced to leave their homes during the depression and droughts of the 1930's?

(seems the link braks at the ":" so cut&paste.)

7. Gee, I'm sure he didn't know that.

10. Actually, I consider myself an 'okie', having lived here in OK for 55 yrs*

I suppose I use the term as a pejorative when the foo shits, as it were.
Being a resident, it seems to me that I have earned the right to comment on clear perceptions of idiocy. Nu?

*not continuously, was in Tampa for 14 years but my family is here and I moved back 10 years ago.

8. I agree

he was probably "extruded as a result of a drunken gangfuck".

This is the kind of mentality that Bush is capitalizing on. He knows that most people, like the Middle Age fools that went on the Crusades, don't know anything about the countries or region that they are going to fight in.

I'll be honest with you, I hope the lot of them go over there and never come back.

9. We have an okie ghetto in stockton.

Okieville. Mean ass ignorant fucks. Went to school with and befriended plenty of them. Not all okies here are tweakers or idots but plenty enough are to perpetuate the stereotype of the dumb okie.

11. I hear ya. Believe me, I do - loud & clear.

:eyes:

[maggrwaggr]

12. You actually said "I hope your son doesn't come home in a box"?

You sound like a sensitive soul.

[karlschneider]

13. Her son is a very good friend of mine. Yes, I said precisely that because

I meant it quite sincerely. Most people who know me think I actually am a fairly sensitive soul. Perhaps I didn't explain the situation very well. There are times when dealing with ...shall I say "intellectually challenged indigenous citizens" around here, "blunt" is the Lingua Franca. Subtlety and diplomacy are concepts about as foreign as nuclear physics with many of these generally decent albeit callow folk.
