KAYNE WEST> You have two cows, but you're still convinced that George Bush doesn't care about black people.

LOL. Being convinced that "care" is something to be concerned about. Mayor Nagin probably cares about black people but his "care" is responsible for their misery and death. Better he didn't give a crap and get the busses running. What is this care nonsense?

John Kerry> You have two cows, neither of which served in Vietnam, and you keep reminding them of that fact.

Please to translate>>>> as I don't get that response at all??

Where did I even suggest any reference to Bush or black people???

Just to follow-up on my earlier response.

I had some time to check into who Kayne or Kanye or whatever West is. I should have suspected that it was a generational gap thing . He's simply another current pop icon a__hole who this generation has chosen to elevate to some level of highly questionable "star" status. How or why you would inject this miscreant into any serious conversation is beyond me.

My original post was intentional sarcastic humor based on truth. Criticize that intelligently and I'll respond to it.

advance_copy. I originally penned this as a 'private' message to you a few minutes ago, but then thought that there's a lesson here that goes two ways, so not being shy by nature decided to make it 'public'.

I didn't realize until after I made my latest post to "bluefish" that I'd forgotten to include you in said apology, but the same sentiments apply. We old "dudes" oft times find ourselves as strangers in a new world, having difficulty reading the road signs on the information superhighway. So it was with me on your post.

As an example, on a different site, about a year and a half ago, I sent off a 'private' msg to a guy who had responded to my post with simply...."FYA". In retrospect this is hilarious, but at the time I was livid. As his post previously appeared to be mocking me (which it wasn't, just done in sarcasm) I was positive that FYA meant "F__k You A__hole" and I used some minor profile data he'd posted to start using switch board.com and other databases to locate him. Soon, I was relatively certain I had the right guy, because he had inserted (foolishly) his real last name into his made-up user name so that every other letter, noted capitalized, when strung together spelled his REAL last name. I then sent him a private message threatening to meet him ANY TIME and ANY PLACE in (and inserted his hometown here).

HE IMMEDIATELY got back to me to explain that "FYA" actually meant "For Your Amusement" referencing his sarcastic post and to say I was left unusually speechless is an understatement. I had learned just how dangerous a rush of s__t to the brain can be. HA! It took me about 15 minutes to figure out an apologetic response, but it was a lesson learned. I RARELY use abbreviations as I've got plenty of time!!! And now I endeavor to step back and try to read between the lines a bit, before the rush takes place...HA! A good practice considering that I'm an (oops!) RKBA guy!
