What stereotype is being referred to?

link?

I have no idea what stereotypes you're talking about. I'm just trying to understand why you're so certain the guy was crazy and not actually talking to god. It's an honest question.

Were you there?

You weren't.

As a matter of fact I never saw Sherry again which isn't surprising since what she underwent was a lot more traumatic than what this blind woman underwent.

It was simply an observation that I never received a thank you. I have no feeling about that one way or the other. I was simply echoing Max Raker's idea that an award was strange.

I was taking exception to your use of the word "fail" in the post above.

Do you think the fireman that went into the World Trader Center and died and didn't save anyone "failed"?

How about a little boy who tries to get in between his Mommy and his Daddy when Daddy is trying to beat the hell out of Mommy. The little boy fails to stop Daddy. Is he a failure still?

I knew the crazy woman beating up on Sherry could turn on me. Am I failure because it took 2 full grown men in their prime to pull the crazy black lady off Sherry?

I don't think that word means what she thinks it means.

This forum is fast becoming a joke.

You clearly were comparing your situation to this one (a relatively big news story, BTW). "Oh hey looks like a good time to mention the time I did a good deed and didn't get recognized!" Why even bring up an extremely different situation? Whatever, this is way off topic and you can feel free to have the last word.

They failed to save anyone, isn't that self-evident? It doesn't necessarily speak to their ability or character.

Its not really this forum. They engaged in the same sort of threads over in SMP.

Its called "atheist bonding through theist stereotypes".

Its pathetic because when you work off of stereotypes you can never understand people as individuals very well.

Its doubly pathetic to see it in poker players because knowing people well enough to anticipate their actions used to be a crucial element of the game.

I guess going so math oriented and moving on to the internet displaced those talents though. Too bad. Its the most interesting part of the game: human psychology. Its also along with timing one of the things that makes the game so tough to beat. Once you take timing and people out of poker you might as well go play blackjack where its you against the dealer, the cards and all probability.

So again, what stereotype are you talking about?

Oh it most certainly goes both ways.

stereotype?

every response splendour gives makes me ask the same question over and over...why do i keep talking to her? i dunno what i expect at this point.

but...stereotype?

If God told him to do this than God did also told him that he has to suffer its consequences due to law as well.

Oh phew, God's translator is here.

Yeah, the blind woman is clearly just a whiner. Probably an atheist too.

Seems to me that the classy thing to have done was not bring up the fact that you were never thanked for your "heroism".

So now you're comparing yourself to the firemen who ran into the World Trade Center?

He's not a failure, but I also doubt that he'd be all butt-hurt that he didn't receive an award or a thank-you afterwards.

Racist ban please.

How's that for some "atheist bonding"?

You're off as usual.

I said he wasn't there for the incident I had happen at an old job. Nice job as usual misinterpreting things.

I was being descriptive not racist.

You're the biggest bigot on the planet so stop calling for racist bans on everyone. It isn't racist to use a descriptive adjective.

Lots of people on here drool after Asians.

Are they all racist or just when you want to play the race card against a religious person you are bigoted against?

It is pretty easy, if he says that God told him, this means he deserves no punishment and is insane. Got it?

No, that would be incredibly unfair if God was actually speaking to him.

If it was God, than you can tell him this when you meet him one day or you may suggest that he choses you as a judge to evaluate his morality and abilities and knowledge. And please don't leave one of these out.

More missing of the point. Do YOU ever have God speak to you?

LOL, we arent concerned about this for THAT GUYS sake. We are concerned about it for the sake of the rest of humanity. That guy is either gonna be fine because he did God's will, or he isnt. But what about the rest of us? We need to know if he really DID do God's will or not. This has many exciting implications, cause, ya see, you believe in a revealed religion.
