I hate people that hate
Having long hair, dark skin, tattoos, earrings, a beaded necklace with a hand carved bone arrowhead and I'm in an interracial marriage with a white Italian woman.
We've ran into hatred and scorn.
We've been harassed and threatened by people we don't even know and never met before.
That's one of the main reasons I choose to go about legally armed.
I carry concealed rather than open because I choose to.
I carry a J frame concealed hammer snubby revolver because I choose to.
I prefer owb in one of my own handcrafted leather holsters hangin' on a leather belt because I choose to.
I carry 2 loaded quick strips because I choose to.
Just because that's the way I do it, doesn't mean that's the only way. Everyone has their own way of going about stuff and I may or may not change. Who knows, I might decide to carry a semiauto polymer pistol iwb in kydex with a nylon belt one day.
I don't follow sports but if you do that's groovy.
Kydex or leather? Your choice.
Truck, sedan, econobox or minivan? Your choice.
Different doesn't mean wrong, just different.
Don't try to convince me to do things your way and don't hate me because I do things my way.
I'm not highly edjumacated and I do make occasional mistakes in sentence structure, spelling and punctuation.
It not mean me stupid. Me have college classes in drafting, mechanical drawing, electronics and fundementals of physical activity. Not perfect writing and sentence structure.
I've been certified in industrial machinery, welding, hydraulics, electronics and other such stuff. I've ran two different warehouses. One of which increased productivity 300 percent in one year and was written up in the industry newsletters.
In short;

I am of Danish, Irish, English, German and Native American descent.
When I think of the history between many of these groups, sometimes I hate myself - it seems like the right thing to do.

Snubby,
Are you saying I can do as I want to do, go where I want to go?
Name calling wasn't tolerated in my family, Mom labworm would break your head, she was a mean Polish woman.

Most of us are 100 percent mutt. We married mutts and our kids are muddied up mutts. Most of us probably have scores of people who want to hate us 'cause we're not like them. Life is too short to try to please the haters. Best to just avoid them. You know, unless you wanna have some fun with them at their expense (that's always fun).
BTW...we love you because you're different snubby!

I've discovered I'm a lot happier not giving a rat's rump what others think of me. As long as I've not trespassed against them in some manner, I just don't care what they think. Most people don't do a lot of thinking anyway.

I live in the deep south. Idiots run free, sometimes in packs. In 2007, I was an SRO at a local high school and acted as security at their prom. At least a half dozen couples were interracial. No fights broke out and no insults were hurled. It looked like their parents had simply forgotten to teach them to hate.
OT, I would love to see a picture of the arrowhead if you want to start another thread about your artristry.

Boy, he sure is! But until he described himself, I didn't realize just how different. Wow!
That's all ok though, because he makes some fine looking leather goods and has a line on some if the funniest darned videos I've ever seen.
Lets keep him around awhile.
Snubby! Snubby! Snubby!

The more I read on this forum (especially older threads), the more I realize the less I know. Not everyone here uses proper spelling, grammar or syntax but that doesn't mean what they say should be labeled as irrelevant. I know exactly what they mean.
To correct them only demeans them and makes me look petty and shallow. My dad did not have great language skills but everyone that knew him thought he was a wise man.
Since you brought it up, if you notice the, four words I have sworn to never use are; Hate, Stupid, Idiot and Moron.
Hate is an ugly word that people throw around too freely.
To hate is to wish that person or thing did not exist. You can dislike something but "hate" is a vile, mean spirited term.
Stupid, Idiot and Moron; these are terms coined, insensitively, a long time ago to describe mental detectives. These are hurtful, demeaning words often used to make the user feel superior to the intended recipient.
Whenever we take pen/keyboard in hand we open the window to our intellect. Once you put a stamp on it or hit "send" you are saying" this is what I think, What say you?" People will either feed off your denigrating speech or gauge you as angry and bitter.
We are supposed to ediffy one another not strip the bark off.
A kind word or praise can make a person look at life through tender eyes whereas the opposite will make them spread that feeling of worthlessness and bitterness to others.
Snubby, I have nothing but affection and respect for you. In truth, I feel that way about all here even though I have not and probably never will meet them.
I would rather be remembered for my kindness and humor than my abrasiveness.
Your servant;
Rusty

I never really understood the hate thing, not only is it detrimental and destructive to oneself it has a negative effect on all about you. Life is to short for that sort of thing and one should move forward with their own life rather engage in a meaningless quest in futility. With that said I will admit to really not liking some things and people but try not to dwell on it and at times try to make it better if at all possible. I'm lucky as I have been able to train my mind to reject emotion in difficult situations and deal with things rationally, don't always work mind you but I'm comfortable in my own skin.

You write very well, Snub, and continually reveal sides of yourself we didn't know were there. Sure, you occasionally bean your wife with a set of keys, but who doesn't?
Furthermore, I nominate your "gimpy ol' Injun" self-description as the biggest overflowing crock of the two years I've been hanging around here.
Reminds me of the classic (and dumb) B-western dialogue:
"Looks like we scared the Injuns off, Lieutenant."
"Yeah, that's what they want us to think."

my daddy had a fifth grade education but was wise in many ways and had some darn good sayings, some of which I can't repeat on this family friendly forum but one comes to mind: hate is too strong an emotion to waste on someone you don't even like. lee

I agree with the op 100%....because I chose to. I am of Scottish descent and I'm a member of the following minorities. Short, Old, bald, male.
My first wife was Japanese. I met her in San Diego California where she was going to school as an exchange student in the early 60s. We had a daughter who is beautiful and smart and currently a cancer surgeon In Florida.
We never experienced any of the open hostility because wife and daughter were drop dead beautiful. But we got along just fine. we got a divorce after 6 years but there were no racial issues just the usual man/woman thing that gets in the way so many times. She passed away in 2010 but we remained friends until then.
Like Snubby I prefer to carry concealed but I support the rights of others to carry how ever they want to. Texas will probably have open carry laws on the books after the next legislative session and I'm all for the freedom given us by our forefathers.
Bottom line here I think is "LIVE AND LET LIVE".

Bravo Snubby. I only hate those who call me a "hater" just because they aren't as smart as me. I can't stand that term.

Sometimes people need to stop and take a good look in the mirror before judging others, and spend their time working on improving their own lives better instead of trying to make others miserable.

Snubby...........
this is the space on the ball of mud where the misaligned came in droves....searching for a better life
they immediately declared themselves in charge and evicted the original residents from their dwellings..........the new comers were "SPECIAL"
when my grandparents came here they were ridiculed and called "DP's"
snubby, don't let the "SPECIAL" people get you down
this is the place with "liberty and justice for all"...........just wave the flag and have a nice day...........

That's the thing. I don't go through life concernin' myself with what people think of me. That's between them and their grey matter.

I didn't make it. It was carved, blessed and gifted to me by a Shawnee Holyman.
I strung it with glass and brass beads and bone hairpipe on a hunk of black leather.

That's me, I'm an open book.
I honestly have lost quite a bit to my peripheral neuropathy but I'm far from ready to give up.

Actually, I've sold that. There was a fella that collected American Indian art and made me an offer I just couldn't refuse.
