Still can't believe my shitty neighbors sold their house today. Is buying a bottle of champagne and celebrating on our front lawn as they move out a bit over the top?

Cause I don't give a SHIT!

It doesn't have to. He expressed disdain for his neighbors and relief at their departure. Jay made no mention of race, and it wasn't brought up until DA made his inquiry. I don't see why anyone has to bring it up further, we don't need another thread derail here. Let him have his fifteen minutes of bliss.

This thread has raised some interesting philosophical questions for me - If Jay just makes a thread about his neighbours moving out with no mention of race, and DarkAudit is the one who infers some quasi-racist intent behind it, is it really Jay's fault?

I'm with you on this one. I can't give Jay an infraction for something he never said, or for something he might be thinking based on a thread that only a dozen people remember from like 2 years ago.

Continue with your jubilations!

Pretty much this.

You folk can think all you want from what you read on these forums but you don't really know me, you don't know the situation we are in, what kind of people they are. You just read and make assumptions to what I am. Whatever. My fiancee hates them too and from the discussions I gathered from 4 different neighbor couples I invited over last week when I hosted a BBQ, many of us were very relieved they were selling the house.

They simply ain't good people and don't belong to live in such a nice neighborhood. One thing I learned is that you can choose your house but you cannot choose your neighbors. Those of you who are home owners know this most. It sucks when you move in you realize you moved in beside scum.

The weekend has been awesome and hopefully in the next few weeks I'll see them move as I bought a bottle of champagne yesterday and hope to crack it open in the weeks to come.

Not a homeowner at the moment, but I did learn this same or similar lesson about military housing. You never know who you will end up living next to and you have almost no choice about living there once you're moved in.

When your neighbors are outside by 7:30 AM during the weekends with their 4 children (from what I gathered, it may be more), all under the age of 4, screaming as if it's day care in a language you don't understand, it certainly is gibberish and I was being civil in typing that because I've described it much worse.

Oh, I also didn't know my reply catered to you. Don't be mad though, I know full well you don't like me. Nor do I care if you don't like me. The fact you go in rage mode when you can't come up with any comebacks and need to find ways to troll me is absolutely delicious.

It's alright though, someday you'll grow a little older, be a little wiser and simply let go of all the hate, all the rage.... don't fear the changes.

Changes.

We gotta make a change...

It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.

Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live...

And let's change the way we treat each other.

You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do

What we gotta do, to survive.

Peace.

A common myth has been perpetuated that Eskimo means "eater of raw meat" in Algonquin, though linguists typically don't support that assertion. The myth is so widespread that most people consider Eskimo as a derogatory term now.

Curious: is Eskimo seen as explicitly derogatory, or is it seen as mostly archaic, kind of like calling a black dude a Negro?

Jun 6, 2011#62

strawman

I believe Eskimo was given to them by some other group. To some degree it's like Indians - their name has nothing to do with the people themselves, other than it's the name others provided for them.

Imagine someone walking up to you and saying, "I don't know who you are and I don't care, but when I talk about you to other people I'm going to call you boopsie. Have a nice day!"

I don't know that it's derogatory, so much as it's not the preferred name.

Further, the disparate tribes don't really want to be lumped together with each other as though they were one people/group.

Speaking entirely from hearsay, television and limited research done online, so I don't claim to be 100% correct, from what I understand, linguists don't support that assertion, but they do assert that it comes from the French Excommunier, meaning "excommunicated". In other words, it actually means excluded from the community, or shunned by the Church. Either way, still a pretty prejudiced term.

I've also heard that usage of the term is really only uncommon and thought of as racist here in Canada, where the term Inuit (simply, the people in the Inuit language) has officially taken its place.

The offer didn't go through. Apparently they failed house inspection with massive issues to their foundation and require 25k in repairs. Their house has now been forced off the market as well as the house is "condemned" or whatever the term is.

FUCKKKK

I'm stuck with these people!

IT'LL NEVER END

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Jun 9, 2011#76

Disconnected

If it is in fact condemned I believe if they do not take certain action the house would be demolished.

Jun 9, 2011#77

strawman

So close, and yet so far.

If the house has been condemned as uninhabitable, then the city can force the occupants to leave until the structure is repaired. It's not a short process, though, and if the occupants can't make the repairs or find another place to live then it could drag on forever.

But really, Jay, you shouldn't have been destroying their house bit by bit just to get rid of them. If anything your efforts have only made them stick around longer. Next time try damage that isn't likely to get the house condemned.

Also, you jinxed yourself by celebrating before closing.
