Bill, I would advise you to delete EDDY'S comment. There should be no room for racist bigots on here or in DARTMOUTH

Have you read Eddy's posts on other topics.. He clearly is short a couple of cards in the deck.

And Eddy - when you use 'your' in that context it is spelled you're a contraction of the words you and are. You miss class that day too? Get lost.

Eddy said...

actually dumbo "your" in that context is possession, the way I spelled it. your bro...or you are bro...who's the one that missed class...typical liberal elitist

Eddy's friend said...

Eddy racist, you've got to be of small mind. In my opinion, Eddy isn't a racist. I agree with Eddy, Mr. Davol, is the first black Governor from Massachusetts. Davol is a tax and spend liberal Governor, who enjoys taxing everyone who has a dollar to spend. This Governor, who is a black man, has raised taxes on cigarettes, 1.25 % sales tax increase, meals, and on and on. He wanted a gasoline tax of 25 cents on the gallon. This first black Massachusetts governor, has the same taxing mentality as our first black American President, ( racist ) they both enjoy taxing people who they consider rich. When has it become an evil event, if a person earns 250,000 thousand dollars. This earning figure is subject to a thirty plus percent tax category, equal to 85.000 thousand dollars, in federal tax.
Sticking a couple of rings in ones nose and wearing baggy pants is not being a racist, it completes the thought of some one who is care free and tax exempt.
The reverend Jessie Jackson,is a racist. He was taped, telling another black governor, that he would like to chop the balls off that nigger, Obama. Now that is a RACIST.

That post wasn't the real Eddy.
I'm the real Eddy. You can call me all the nasty names you want too. Bill, hasn't removed my posting because he understands that I'm not a bigot. I speak my truth clearly and with knowledge and understanding that not all people will agree. I'm no racist. My spelling and language skills may not be to your satisfaction, but I earn more than 250,000 thousand dollars per year, own five homes from Maine to Florida.. Half the federal taxes are paid by five percent of the population and those making less than 40,000 dollars don't pay a federal tax. Where do you fit into this fair exchange of taxation?I donated large sums of money to valuable charitable organizations, and support higher education for everyone. My father is white and my mother is black.

Bill Trimble said...

Actually Eddy, I do think that you are a bigot. I have not removed your comments because I think that they reveal you to be a bigot and somewhat dimwitted. As such, you are not someone to be taken seriously. While I disagree with the points you make in your comments, I won't prevent you from expressing them here. But I think most people will see them for what they are, bigoted and stupid, and dismiss them outright.

Anonymous said...

Eddy, I highly doubt your income. You can splurge your racist comments and have your friend defend you...it is credit to our constitution that you can engage in that vile, despicablr nonsense.

Anonymous said...

Interesting Eddy, you seem to value monetary things more than simple human decency. What does it matter how much I earn or how many homes I own? Your bigotry speaks volumes and no matter your income level that tells me all I need to know. I'm glad Bill has chosen to leave your comments in place.

Eddy's opinion of racist/bigot said...

Bill, thank you for allowing this so called bigot/racist to continue making comments and reveal what he really is, a stupid bigot. According to Webster, a bigot is one who holds blindly to a particular opinion or any statement of belief, is a bigot.
A racist; the practice of racial discrimination.
I am of the belief that a person who pokes rings through out their body parts, or wears pants below their butt, holds a particular opinion or making a statement of belief. Is this person a bigot?
In my latest post, I never mentioned the practice of racial discrimination or the word race. Governor Davol is a tax spending liberal. ( period )
I'm of the opinion, that anyone who aborts an unborn child, commits murder and any person who assist in aborting a child, is a murderer. If this is bigotry, a plead guilty. A racist is a person who holds a particular opinion concerning a person of race. Racist, I think not, but you can call me a bigot, because I blindly hold to a particular opinion, or statement of belief that God created all men in his image and to destroy this image is to have destroyed the creator, God. God created all men, of all color.

So you believe that women who have an abortion are murderers. Should they be prosecuted and jailed?

Eddy, why did u make the comment about baggy pants?...how r people supposed to imterpret that comment...you let me know...calling Deval a liberal is one thing, but labeling him by saying he should wear baggy pants with his BRO..is racial profiling...now shut up

Eddy said, "I'm of the opinion, that anyone who aborts an unborn child, commits murder and any person who assist in aborting a child, is a murderer." The woman getting the abortion definitely fits in both those categories. Is she a murderer?

Eddy, your defending your comments in a very weak way. I am sure you would not have stated that to a loser WHITE Govenor...I am DEFINATELY SURE...IN FACT I AM WILLING TO BET YOU NEVER SAID GOV. SANFORD OF SOUTH CAROLINA SHOULD GO TO ARGENTINA IN BAGGY PANTS.

Eddy said...

GOV. SANFORD OF SOUTH CAROLINA SHOULD GO TO ARGENTINA IN BAGGY PANTS. I've said it.
Tiger Woods should go with him.

Our state has three degree's of murder. Murder in the first, second degree and what you are doing to me.
Premeditated, with the intent to kill is first degree murder. Abortion is first degree murder.

Eddy said...

When Jesus saw that his disciples were arguing over which of them was the greatest, “He sat down and called the twelve. . . .And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them, ‘Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.’” (Mark 9:34-37).
Receiving a child into your arms in the name of Jesus is a way to receive Jesus. And receiving Jesus is a way to receive God. Therefore how we deal with children is a signal of our fellowship with God. Something is deeply amiss in the soul that does not descend (or is it really ascend?) to love and hold a child.
Therefore, it may be good to call to mind the ways Jesus related to children. Ponder these and let them stir in you the longings of Christ. What could be more significant than receiving Christ and receiving God the Creator in him? Amazingly, Jesus says we may do this in ministry to children.
Were would we be if Mary decided to abort Jesus??
I'll be reading the comments.

Eddy, are women who have abortions murderers, yes or no? Simple question, I await your answer.

Mans law...
Murder is the unlawful killing of another, with malice and forthought, with premeditation, and the intent to kill.
Gods law...
Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore he who resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. For rulers are not a cause for fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath upon the one who practices evil. Wherefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
Please note that God ordained government to punish wicked doers and to praise the righteous. Question: What do we do when the government rejects its God-ordained duty and does the exact opposite – praising and protecting the wicked, while punishing and persecuting the righteous? This passage does not deal with that dilemma.
I believe the apostle Peter answered the question most succinctly when he said, “We must obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29). Again and again we see in the Scriptures that when God’s law and man’s law conflict, the saints of God must obey God.*
The saints of God “broke the law” not only when they were commanded to do evil, but when they were commanded not to do good. “Don’t pray!” Daniel was told. “Don’t preach,” the apostles were told. Christians nowadays are told, “Don’t rescue babies”; “Don’t smuggle Bibles”; “Don’t preach about political matters in your church”; “Don’t pray at school commencements.”
We need to do some serious studying and thinking and do it fast. The conflict between God’s Law and man’s law is not only in the realms I’ve mentioned. The battle is intensifying in America on a multitude of fronts. The pagans are using the law to slowly crush biblical morality and justice on all fronts. The God-haters are using the law to harass and intimidate families and churches who believe and practice the teachings of the Bible. “Children’s rights” lunatics are using the law to persecute parents who spank their children. The statists are slowly using man’s law to obtain control over what pastors preach and whom they hire.

Eddy said, “that all pro choice politicians, are evil doers.” The U.S. Government ( man made laws ) allow abortions for all women, for any reason, at any time.

Abortion, for no reason other than God's law, is murder.

eddy,
ROE v WADE is man's law thus "Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore he who resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves."

God said it...


I may not agree with abortion 100% of the time,but there is a time and place. rape,incest and endangering the life of the mother.

by the way God allows unborn children to die everyday, due to miscarriages.

Look at Eddy's spelling... (Eddy's reply 8:35am)- in this example he is addressing piercings.

Eddy the word is tongue.

Your spelling tung.

Eddy, before you preach to others you must make sure you are up to the challenge. I have no stake in this fight, but you don't sound too educated with the numerous spelling errors you have made.

Ridiculuous:
Everyone has a pet peeve. Some people lose it over someone else grinding their teeth. I've listened to people totally come uncorked over drivers who don't signal before they turn, even if there isn't anyone behind them for five hundred yards. There's lots of pet peeves, millions and millions of them. And I suppose all of them are unreasonable to a degree. Signs of instability.
But, that said, I don't care and here goes:


RED is a color; it is the color of blood. It's the color of raw meat and of ketchup which looks a lot like blood. Blood is what's going to happen to someone or some helpless animal if you people don't start spelling this (tongue) word right on this blog.
For the love of God, please spare me the agony of seeing this word endlessly spelled tonque six thousand times a day on this blog. It's like nails on a chalkboard. I scream inside when I see it, and I have it on pretty good authority that every time someone types (tong) evil tyrants in third world countries pitchfork babies to death. It's some sort of search engine based anti-baby program that these awful monsters have created to fund the purchase of more pitchforks so that they can doom more helpless babies. I don't even know what the point of it is except only to do it to more cute babies. It's terrible and only you can stop the madness from going on.
So, if you like babies, you should seriously never type (tong) again. Type RIDiculous instead, with an "I." Think of "ridding the world of people who pitchfork babies." And besides "I" is easier to draw; it's just a straight line. You don't need any fancy curves or any branching lines like you do with "e" or "E." An "I" is simple to make and easy to remember. If you have trouble remembering how to spell this word, just tell yourself the following story:


There is NOTHING RED about ridiculous. I need to RID myself of this horrific spelling and I need to understand that it is I who spells it wrong, just as it is an "I" that is in the word every time. There is no "e" only "I." I am the one. "E" is the sound Shadesbreath makes whenever he reads my spelling it with an "e." "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee," he screams as he runs from the room clutching at his burning eyes wishing that lightning would blast him from the Earth.


So yeah, just remember that story, say it to yourself three times every night before you go to bed and you will be able to spell "ridiculous" finally right. Just think, you can save babies and save me from being decimated by a powerful lightning bolt. Imagine how much positive karma that will generate for you.
All I can say is thank you and I'm glad you took the time to care. And remember, for the love of God, it's RIDiculous, not RED.

P.S. I reserve the right to be human, which entitles me to unreasonable emotional states.

TO be fair, I have seen many more white youth (men and women) with nose rings and baggy pants than I have ever seen black men and women.
