Not playing your game. When I asked your age originally in comparison to the 16 year old, your response was "old enough. LOL". Don't tell me what I did or didn't read. I have the link quite handy btw.

You walk a tightrope...don't even start with that shit about not wanting to hurt the forum.

Whose respect have you earned? You have three rep points and Eleven gives them to every new person.

Where is your fan club?

You've provided no evidence of racism from me, and if you've sifted through my posts, please do so again, and give me warnings where I've done something against the rules or have been racist, or please give me an outright ban if that's what I've done. I deserve it if I've really done that. I'm not aware of doing that, but if I have, I certainly didn't mean to. I'd rather have the forum not be harmed than continue posting here. I look forward to my banning as you've claimed I've clearly been racist over and over and over again, and I'll assume the position and take it like a man. There are many very intelligent people here, and many here who have earned my respect. If I'm ruining people's posting experience here, I truly never meant that.

Underage girls living with me? Where in the rules does it say I can't mention having an underage girl living with me? She was 16 (not underage) and I was 18, with an age of consent of 14. Do you seriously think I would be bragging about doing illegal things on the forum? See, this is what you get for assuming things. You say I am walking the line of getting banned because I mentioned that I had a girlfriend who was 16, and you filled in all the blanks and saw what you wanted to see.

I thnk he meant harm in the sense that his idiotic musings make this place worse, which they do. I suggest parler.

"Old enough" is the truth. It was a joke about me not being taken advantage of by the 16 year old. And I don't have to prove to anyone that I don't sleep with underage girls. If they want to assume dirty things and think those dirty thoughts, that's on them.

I never claimed to have a fan club. I said others have earned my respect. I wasn't bragging about people respecting me if that's how you took it.

It was not a joke since you were talking about a suicidal 16 year old.

Not fucking funny in the least.

I have a shaved head too. Must be a skin head. More evidence that I'm a racist.

What happened to the atheist community? These days, you watch Sam Harris and now you are a racist. You watch Hitchens and you love war. You watch Dawkins and you hate trans people.

1) Maybe at least cover up the Swastikas? With a sticker or summat? I think the Asian people in question would probably understand if you weren't hot on the Swastika, given how much baggage the Nazis gave it.

2) Funny thing about the skinheads; while researching for a review of This is England, I wound up learning quite a bit about them. It turns out they were originally an outgrowth of Mod culture that latched onto aspects of Jamaican rude boy culture. A bit more like this:



But in the 1970s, shit started to diversify, and not in the ways people would have liked, since many skinheads also started to latch on to Tyndale’s National Front (the forerunner to the BNP) and its attendant racist ideology. To this day, many skinhead groups either remain apolitical or are actively left-wing (many actually tried to make Antifa into a proper organization in 80s and 90s) and at least one major group defines itself by fighting racism. #notallskinheads.
And for what it’s worth, A) I shave my head on occasion (though I make a point of leaving my beard as is and shearing my head hair is limited to just taking a #2 guard to the scalp once a month or two) mostly for practical purposes, and B) everyone knows  that Neo-Nazis have decided to replace the shaved head with a high and tight:

(And yes, it’s popular enough to have been given the new nickname The Fashy.)

3) Admittedly, watching people with questionable views isn’t a problem in itself; it only becomes one when you buy into the questionable rhetoric and parrot it uncritically. Which you’ve been known to do.

Don't see why it would be necessary for me to cover it up with a sticker. It has Chinese characters all over the calendar and other Chinese designs right next to/ attached to the swastika, so if someone confuses it as a Chinese white supremacist calendar, that's probably a person who lacks any common sense and they can't be helped anyways.

I mostly shave my head because my hair gets itchy as hell if I let it grow.

Pretty sure she doesn't read this forum so I think we're good. And I don't think she was actually suicidal. Just making threats to try to gain sympathy.

And I've been confused for Mexican or Indigenous American by lots of people. People probably aren't thinking skinhead when they see me. My skin is pretty dark.

Your story was pretty detailed.  I see it's changed.  No surprise there.

A suicidal 16-year-old? Personally, I believe that anyone who’s dating someone between the age of consent and the age of majority (usually around 18) should do their best to tread really fucking lightly. Likely walking a fine line, being careful to treat her right, but not to be too parental to raise charges of exploitation or grooming. But with a suicidal teenage girl (and even if she’s just doing it for attention, that’s a sign of an entirely different problem), whose life may very well be in your hands, that’s going to open enough of a can of worms that even trying for a relationship is probably more trouble than it’s worth.
