Title: Boy! Ain't this the truth!
Post by: iddee on January 28, 2011, 11:42:29 am
Boy! Ain't this the truth!
 
        Everyone seems to be wondering why Muslim terrorists are so quick to commit suicide. Lets have a look at the evidence: ??- No Christmas?- No television?- No nude women?- No football?- No pork chops?- No hot dogs?- No burgers?- No beer?- No bacon?- Rags for clothes?- Towels for hats?  Constant wailing from some idiot in a tower?- More than one wife?- More than one mother in law?- You can't shave?- Your wife can't shave?- You can't wash off the smell of donkey?- You wipe your ass with your hand?- You cook over burning camel bleep?- Your wife is picked by someone else?- Your wife smells worse than your donkey ??  Then they tell you that "when you die, it all gets better"??   No sh%%.. Sherlock!.... It's not like it could get much  worse

No, it is not the truth. Islam is not our enemy. By spreading this kind of propaganda, you play right into the hands of our real enemy. Take a deeper look at what is really going on.

Actually, I'm a white, American, Christian. Not a Christain Zionist. There is a difference, but then why concern ourselves with details? Even though the Devil is in the details.

I think more than myself has come to the conclusion that the "humor" forum, is really a place for racist, bigot, and hate comments....disguised as humor.

Sorry kathy...I really don't think using the term "terrorist" really makes a difference. Muslim....Muslim terrorist, terrorist.....I think the mindset for some is the same for anybody Muslim. The rationalization is weak at best to slice it thin enough to suggest the "humor" is only directed at "terrorists. I've heard the same comments without the "terrorist" label. So at least sometime in the past this was told and someone said something objecting to it. So give some guy credit for adding "terrorist" and trying to rationalize and justify his "humor".

Blacks one day, gays the next,...then on to Muslims. And to suggest that this is the same as a dumb blond joke is........a joke!

Anybody who is anybody has heard the opening "humor" many times over. So it lost it's punch line and "humor" long ago. Making those that keep running around posting it, perhaps a bit more focused on other messages, instead of the "humor" they pretend to innocently be spreading. People are not idiots. They see hatred disguised as humor for what it is.

The title is not "Boy, Ain't this funny!"...it's called "Boy! Ain't this the truth".  :roll:

Oh well. This is what this forum has come too. I hope nobody has a problem with my little "humor" this morning.....  :roll:

i'm so disappointed that you think it's ok to make fun of dumb blondes :-(.  they can't help it.  even those who choose to go blonde, do so because they know that's the category they belong in.  making fun of them is just...wrong!  this is especially true since, to my knowledge, no dumb blonde has ever blown anything up, or chopped off anyones head.   i could be wrong about this as the dumb blonde might have accidental injured herself.....
it's probably also fair to say that there are blondes who are not dumb.   it's hard to find them as they usually don't speak up, but i know they are there.  if they were not, there would be so many dumb incidents, we would not be able to keep track of all of them.

Ohhhhhhh....but kathy....read my comments. I never said it was ok to tell blond jokes. I only commented on the rationale that because some see the need to tell blond jokes, that it equates on the same level as racist, bigoted, or denigrating comments of other groups of people. I don't think anyone seriously thinks that a blonde joke, a redneck joke, or a Yankee joke, is on the same level as black, gay, or Muslim comments disguised as jokes. I already said, others are not idiots as you may think. So please do not try to rationalize, slice, dice, or go a yankin chains to justify this.


Now, if you would ask me what I thought about blond jokes, I would be more than happy to tell you what I think.  ;)
Title: Re: Boy! Ain't this the truth!
Post by: BjornBee on January 31, 2011, 03:09:31 pm
Look at it this way kathy.

I've never known anyone who told Irish, blond, redneck, or other jokes, anything but a person who was telling a funny. I've told redneck jokes. But does that mean I do not like rednecks. No. And I'll laugh at a good blond joke. Because it is nothing but a joke. I know anyone telling a blond joke is just trying to be funny. I never seen it that they hated blonds.

But.....I find those telling gay, black, and Muslim jokes, not really telling jokes, as much as a group of good ol' boys, spewing hate filled stories and little else...disguised as humor. I'm not diggin into the past comments, but it is clear the comments come from an angle of NOT liking these groups. So it has little to do with being funny.

People see humor like Jeff "You might be redneck" Worthy, or blond jokes for exactly what it is. While most can see the difference in disguised humor aimed at groups these story tellers do not like. One is humor...and the other is not.

This happens often in college. (I got a little lost in the Penn & Teller "B.S." series yesterday) I know this forum is not necessarily a bastion of free speech, because it's a private institution.
But I have first-hand knowledge that many colleges claim loudly to be a forum of thought and ideas - but don't think for a second that if your ideas rub your subjective learning (non math, science, grammar courses) teacher the wrong way that your grades won't suffer. Colleges are forums of ideas only as long as your ideas fall within the constraints of acceptable speech. I was an honors student ages ago (I'm not saying this to brag, but to assert that I was no slouch academically) And scored a big fat C in "ethics" (brainwashing) because even though I know for certain that I demonstrated a clear understanding of the precepts; the professor was perturbed by my insistence on looking deeper at a topic - I tended to write in favor of "teach a man to fish instead of making him dependent on you being there with a fish for him" with the overall theme in my approach being that sometimes behavior that seems cruel in fact only fosters personal growth and independence.
            As far as jokes about Islam I'm not joking - I don't trust them. A pattern has developed worldwide in which more and more power and control are seized by minority numbers - demanding accommodation and refusing to assimilate.
I am 100%  in favor of tolerance and understanding - but the pattern shows that our tolerance and understanding is guaranteed to be  a one way street leading to the abolition of tolerance. I guess one of the hallmarks of prejudice and bigotry are ignorance.. sorry, I cant be accused of that. I went to work finding out what turns them into radicals. - Islam does - they show us Americans the good happy parts of the koran and don't tell us until a few years of indoctrination that those good beautiful parts of the koran have been superseded by later  "prophecies"  - the destructive "kill or enslave them all if they don't convert" ones. And then there's the POLICY of taquiyya - which means "lie to the infidel's face however you please".
     So, yeah I don't trust them a bit, but it isn't out of ignorance.

Post by: iddee on January 31, 2011, 04:25:56 pm
I think you need to research why the political cartoons were started in the press. It was to exaggerate and humiliate the things that were wrong in the government. Not that they didn't like the government, but that what they were doing was wrong. The same applies to the "shall we say hardcore" muslims. It's not a hatred for the people as a whole, just a dislike for the things they are doing.

Jokes have always been used to expose the wrongs of the world. Of course, if you think blowing up babies and beheading anyone you disagree with is OK, then I guess you won't like my jokes.

Now, you say a joke is funny with the word redneck in it, but the same joke with the word changed to queer isn't. Now that's really a good one. Thanks for letting us know you are so well balanced in your thoughts of treatment of different people.

Now see my latest. It's a new ??joke??

Are you a Black, Muslim, Gay, or some other of those you choose to protect? If not then sit quietly on the sidelines and let those who are of the catagory being joked about jump in and tell us themselves how offended they are.

I've never known anyone who told Irish, blond, redneck, or other jokes, anything but a person who was telling a funny. I've told redneck jokes. But does that mean I do not like rednecks. No. And I'll laugh at a good blond joke. Because it is nothing but a joke. I know anyone telling a blond joke is just trying to be funny. I never seen it that they hated blonds.

And the same goes for the other categories. Doesn't mean we hate them. As I said before I have friends and family from those other categories. I do begin to think you are really a closet bigot. That is why it bothers you so much.

While I am ranting... Do you really believe redneck, Yankee, southern, and other jokes were not started from groups that hate them? How naive you must be.

So this is your requirement in life. That only groups being offended should speak up. How sad. I don't need to be black, gay or Muslim to recognize when a joke is no longer a joke, and borders on hate filled bigotry and racism.

   

As for your demand I sit by quietly....I'm shaking in boots. But this isn't the first time or the last that somebody demands someone with a different point to be silenced. 

BjornBee

While I am ranting...

Yes you are. Not making sense either.

Do you really believe redneck, Yankee, southern, and other jokes were not started from groups that hate them? How naive you must be.

What was started long ago, is a bit different today. As I said, jokes about rednecks and blonds are hardly seen as hate filled and a means of denigrating others. I'll tell a blond joke for what it is...humor. Nothing like what you want to make of it as some hate filled crap on the same level as other "humor" you suggest.

If you can't take the criticism or an opposing viewpoint, perhaps you should stop running around demanding others sit on the side line and get out of the kitchen yourself. Typical that those slinging mud towards others are the first ones to be offended and start crying. I must be getting under someones skin when people start demanding that a view not their own is not worth defending and they start demanding others shut up. And you suggest I am naive. Now that...is a better joke than the original post.  :-D

Bee Happy,
I agree.

I don't mind any kind of free speech.

Although I am in heavy favor of proper places and avenues.  ;)

I think certain things are fine at home, and others may not be for the church service. Some things are proper at my friends house, but not while visiting my kids classroom at school.

It just seems nowadays, there is no couth involved with some as they see no proper place for their comments.

And just because the college system is broke, is no excuse for thinking it should be same everywhere else.

""As I said, jokes about rednecks and blonds are hardly seen as hate filled and a means of denigrating others. ""

Well, maybe we should tell more of them, so they get to where they "are hardly seen" as being so bad.

Personally, I took it kind of hard when you accused me of marrying my sister, but I didn't post back about it. I let it ride as I do all jokes I don't agree with.

I doubt there has ever been a joke that didn't offend someone, somewhere. I pick out the ones I like, and ignore the ones I don't like.

I do appreciate you explaining to us that you do see them as degrading when told about certain groups, but not others. It really explains a lot about your motives.

If I were to quit telling ethnic jokes, I would at least include all ethnicities.
I'm glad you told us it has to be only certain ones to be bad.

Same with other groups.

Hey, I have an idea. Why don't you post a yes and no list. One listing groups we can joke about, one listing groups we can't joke about. We really need to know which ones are off limits.
Title: Re: Boy! Ain't this the truth!
Post by: BjornBee on January 31, 2011, 08:17:16 pm
Iddee,

When you tell an "Irish" bar joke, nobody really takes it to mean that all Irish are drunks. And the jokes are not aimed at Irish by those who do not like them. It's taken as a joke. Nothing more.

That same parallel is not seen by gay, Muslim or black jokes. You, as well as others, have clearly confirmed by not defending the joke, but indicating your bias and dislike of these groups, the reasoning of telling the jokes to begin with. You think it's funny to denigrate those groups you dislike. Nobody tells "Irish" jokes because they hate Irish guys who happen to frequent bars.And nobody tells blond jokes because they hate blonds.

If you don't understand the difference, there is nothing more I can do to help.
Title: Re: Boy! Ain't this the truth!
Post by: iddee on January 31, 2011, 08:37:01 pm
You are the one who doesn't understand.

I'm sure you have been told, and likely said, ""If I didn't like you, I wouldn't pick on you.""

We don't hate those groups. You have just decided in your mind that we do.
 Jokes are made about groups by themselves and their actions. The jokes are just truth stretched out to the point of being a joke, and a far cry from being fact any longer. That is what makes a joke to begin with.

If you had ever sat for hours with a group of blacks and told black & white jokes, sat with a group of Jews and told Jewish and other ethnic jokes, etc., as I have, maybe you could understand. Since you haven't, I guess you never will.
Title: Re: Boy! Ain't this the truth!
Post by: BjornBee on January 31, 2011, 08:50:49 pm
So you only tell jokes of the groups you like. Now that is funny. Not sure I buy it. But it's funny just the same.  :roll:
Title: Re: Boy! Ain't this the truth!
Post by: iddee on January 31, 2011, 08:58:30 pm
Looking at it through the correct window, Yes.
Because I like all groups. Maybe not all things about all groups, nor any group, but I don't dislike any groups, as groups. Only individuals.

Therefore, I can joke about all groups, since I like them all.
That's what you can never understand. You have never spent time in 18 countries, drinking, partying, going to church, visiting families, etc. You have never lived within the ""clan"" of many diverse groups, laughed with them cried with them, ate and slept with them.

If you ever did, you could differentiate many things you cannot now.

Here is an example of what I was getting at. Dire Straits has a song out called "Money for Nothing" There is a few lines in it that are not allowed on the radio. It is the "F" word for Gays. Now the funny thing is while everyone is running around boycotting the song, Elton John loves the song and has even performed it live on stage with Dire Straits. So what I am getting at is while you are running around proclaiming these jokes are bad, perhaps those the joke is about is laughing their butts off over them.

See iddee...that is your problem. You want others to see yourself as you see yourself. It does not work that way. Understanding how others perceive your actions, your words, and your intentions, are different many times from what you see yourself.

I don't have black friends, gay friends, Mexican friends, south American friends, and so on. I have friends. I see them as friends. Not black people, gays, etc. And I don't use my "friends" or some rationalization that becuase I know others in groups, and suggest as you do, that this justifies denigrating comments about these same groups. I don't have or make friends to allow myself to use them as punching bags for tasteless jokes. And I highly doubt many would appreciate these same jokes in their homes. And if you did tell these same jokes, I bet many would smile, and let it pass. But their opinion the next morning would be far less of you if you would of just kept your mouth shut.

I don't think one is measured by how many Friends you perceive yourself as having. Or how many "groups" one can claim to know and visit. Character is measured by ones actions and words when your at the water cooler the next morning, or around the fire with the buddies, or behind the screen of a computer. 

Do you really think I'm the only one who may think at tad less of you by your constant bashing and jokes of other groups. And your comments about your own secular ideas? I never said you don't have a right to say anything. I only hope you one day realize the impact and reactions to your words. If your just trying to make a bunch of good ol' boy peckerwoods laugh, I'm sure your right on cue for them. But we are not all peckerwoods.

I can only hope you understand this.

I understand completely. No matter what I say, your mind is made up and you have the educational intellect to make it something it isn't. You should run for office.

It's just too bad you don't have the social intellect to understand people. You see life through a very small peephole and will never understand the broader picture. Listen to the media and dwell on every word, if you don't have the personal experience to decide for yourself.

I do pity you.

 :lau:

I didn't call anyone a peckerwood. I was referring to a "group"...you know, like others do. In fact, I have peckerwood friends. I have a right to make fun and use this term.

Well , not really. I did that to see the reaction. I see gays, blacks, Muslims, and other groups get no reaction from you. But use the term peckerwood, and right on cue, someone gets offended.

I was simply using the term in generic terms to identify southern poor racist white folks. Are you denying that they would not approve of the funnies posted here. I think they would get a hoot from the humor. I had no intention of pointing any fingers. But if your going to slide the shoe on yourself, don't come a cryin to me.

Now, that is as bad, or worse, then anything I have seen on this forum. Talk about the frying pan calling the kettle black.

Sure looks different when you do it, tho, doesn't it? Or should this southern, "which always includes poor racist, even without typing it", peckerwood say don'jit?

By the way, the word is peckerhead, not peckerwood. If you're going to curse, humiliate, and degrade all southerners, at least use the proper terms.

Well now you just lost all credibility. If you can't see a person for what they are, then you just can't see people. If you don't see differences then you really don't even know who or what you yourself are. Knowing what people are and excepting them for that is what develops a relationship.

>>>>southern poor racist white folks.<<<<

Now, that is as bad, or worse, then anything I have seen on this forum. Talk about the frying pan calling the kettle black.

Sure looks different when you do it, tho, doesn't it? Or should this southern, "which always includes poor racist, even without typing it", peckerwood say don'jit?

By the way, the word is peckerhead, not peckerwood. If you're going to curse, humiliate, and degrade all southerners, at least use the proper terms.

 :-P  :-P   :-P :lau: :lau:

It was an example iddee. I was making a point. And it went right over your head.

I'm sure your confused by my example, about as much as your confused by peckerwood and peckerhead... :lau:

So your a peckerhead also iddee. Wow!  :-D :shock: :-D

Now...THAT is calling the kettle black! And here I thought you had a thing against gays.

Did you hear that southern guys? iddee wants me to call you all peckerheads.  :lau:

I'm printing this out as an all-time classic!

OH, you poor, pitiful, misinformed yankee. Kathy just told you the word is well known from coast "NC", to coast "OR"., and you still stick to your yankee goof up.

There's an old saying you need to be aware of.

Sometimes it's better to stay quiet and be thought a fool, then to speak and confirm it.

Jerrymac, SC is a place we roped off to attract the run-a-way yankees, thinking they were going to the south. NC is where the real southerners live.

White, maybe. Christian, maybe. American? By birth, possibly. By heart, That's debatable.

Gee, Idee.

 that's so Republican/Conservative of you, and so predictable.  If someone isn't exactly your brand of redneck, gun-toting, xenophobic, closed borders, "there's a raghead behind every bush waiting to shoot us and run up the debt on our children" racist then they can't possibly be a real American.

You probably claim to be a Christian too.  How very tolerant and "turn the other cheek" of you.

Stop thinking like Sarah Palin and the Tea-laban.


That leads us to that "Your either for us or agin us" BS we had from the village idiot we elected from Crawford.

My use of the term peckerwood is correct...

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=peckerwood (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=peckerwood)

Why is this wrong?


iddee,
As for kathy, she used the term peckerhead after you did iddee. I never used the term peckerhead till after she commented. So how is that on me?  :?

hardwood,
Yes, you are correct. My bad. I am clearly not as familiar with the definition or experience with peckermouth as you seem to be. I search peckerhead, and the definition involved the explanation of peckermouth. Glad you are up on what it means to be a peckermouth.

Anyway....I never seen so many jump at the use of a word. Hitting close to home I'm sure.

You see someone beating the snot out of another person. You go help the victim and you are for him. If you help the attacker then you are against him.... the beaten. If you walk by and do nothing, that is also against the beaten one.

Iddee,

When you tell an "Irish" bar joke, nobody really takes it to mean that all Irish are drunks. And the jokes are not aimed at Irish by those who do not like them. It's taken as a joke. Nothing more.


WHAT?? THEY'RE NOT???  Get out....

All of our ancestors were able to laugh at themselves.  My dad always told dumb hollander jokes.  There absolutely is truth to the money-tight dutch stereo-type.  There is absolutely truth to the Irish drinking stereo type.  I don't know about pollacks (probably from happenings in WW2), but the jokes were funny.  So why do we laugh at Irish, Hollander, and Pollack jokes without a problem but a terrorist joke is not allowed?

If you don't like it, rather than fight the jokes and stereo types, I think everybody is better off removing any reason for stereo types.

When no more muslim extremists are blowing themselves up and everybody around them, then the stereo type will die.  A few jokes may linger, but everybody will laugh like they do about the Irish or Dutch.

Jerry your example is a bit simplistic, but  my point out.

I'm severely disabled, if someone is beating the snot out of someone else, I don't agree with the instigator, but I'm not likely to get physically involved because it's doubtful I could be of any assistance.  I might walk away and call the police.  In the meantime I would appear to anyone thoughtless and small-minded enough not to think beyond their on point of view to be "against" the victim

The world is a bit more nuanced than a simplistic 'for or against' doctrine allows.  Bush's meaning was clearly 'you either contribute arms, men, or money to our particular flavor of anti-terrorism, or you yourself and your entire law-abiding, civilized, otherwise good to the world and peaceable nation are going to be considered our enemy'.

There are LOTS of reasons why countries may not agree with or want to contribute to our war on terror, that does not make them terrorists.

Open your mind a bit and consider the fact that not everybody's priorities are the same as ours.

They may actually want to expend some of their resources ( which by the way tend to be far more limited than our own) on things like education, infrastructure, healthcare, science research, social security, and (God forbid) the arts.  That doesn't make them bad people.

Hope everyone is enjoying beating up on everyone else  :roll: I feel left out.

I will refer to "Peckerhead" I have heard it here in NJ all my life and it always referred to someone who did something REALLY Stupid, no reference to anything about local or race, never!

But I live in a Conservative County (the only one) in NJ - all else Liberals. I was brought up with the idea that I live by a set of rules I set for myself, and do my best to understand there are some very great and some pretty scabby people, but all have the right to live as the choose.

The ones I feel sorry most for in any of these posts is the poor, casting them white seems somehow LESS offensive than saying the same about Blacks. I think its a shamed that either should be referred to as to by color and not for the sad fact that we have soooo many poor in the United States.

Enjoy your boxing match, I misread and thought Iddee has no friends except White ones, which isn't correct. I don't know how Iddee chooses his friends, nor is it any of our business but his - that is the beauty Iddee of letting others do as they wish, no matter how it sickens you, you can turn your head, do things your own way and that's what makes America great.

I respect everyone here. I know little about most of you except the picture you paint of yourself through posts, and images. I enjoy the bunch of you, for all MY flaws, I work hard in life and care about how I am perceived. I like to think most people care also, but the scum of our land, the murders, rapists, molesters have either mental illness (and I suppose we such pity them) or they are evil - either way, its sad there aren't more prison jokes and less poor people ones.

Other than that one line, John, that was a fine post. That one line happens to be 180 degrees off the truth.

I have many friends of many nationalities, creeds, colors, and origins.

But I also have self pride, which I find lacking in many posters.
Many on here would fight you over their hometown ball team before they would their race or nationality. They have no self pride.

Iddee, I am glad you made me reread what I read and apologize I misinterpreted one of your posts an I wanted to add I look forward to meeting you at Bud3. I'm still busy looking for the best airfare, it is around $385 for me plus about $90 parking fees - ugh. But worth ten times that in fun and friendships. I know what you mean about traveling a long distance to see friends. How couldn't come, it is a weekend to remember forever.

Peace and thanks for the kudos on my other post content.

Thanks Iddee and Kathy, nice to feel welcome. But I have this thing called I hate car travel and Bud1 reminded me of that - I enjoyed the roadtrip (28 hours in a car with Brendhan - shoot me now  :shock: ) and Dallas round trip from Northern Florida to Buds.

I'm just wiped when I get anywhere and it is unfair to everyone. By flying, I drive just over an hour to either Philly or Newark airports and magically (2 more airports later, I'm getting hugged by Uncle Bud - pretty sweet deal really.

I only wish they still had shuttle bus to the airport from here (literally 2 miles away) that I could hop to the airport, no parking fees that way, but the economy took that ride away.

Gonna be great seeing new faces, and seeing the old ones is really great too. Peace.

Well then you have done something. You might even hang around to be an eye witness.

So there might be those that do absolutely nothing to help either side. Because of who knows what. But then when they themselves need help..... ?

There are many times something is happening and I wish I could do something, but I have no idea what to do to help and very limited means with which to help. A kind word of support for the one side and strong words against the other side is perhaps all one can offer, but at least they have taken a side and done what they can.

Only a person that doesn't care about what is going on will not be for either side, but that makes them also against both sides.

Just thought I'd point out that ethnic jokes have been around since the 1st Cainanite.

My dear departed father-in-law loved ethnic jokes.  He could tell them for hours at a time an never repeat the same joke.  He bragged he knew every ethnic joke there ever was. 

So I asked him if he knew how to keep a pollock in suspense,
He said sure, give hive a double headed coin and ask him to find tails.
I said, no that will only keep him entertained, how do you keep a pollock in suspense.
He says, Okay, I bite, how do you keep a pollock in suspense.
I leaned over and whispered in his ear, "I'll tell you tomorrow!"

That's when I found out he really did know how to laugh.

I've always believed that most stereotypes have a bit of truth to them, or did somewhere in history. I'm stereotypically am a hot headed, stubborn Irishman.  And add being a LEO in to that - WOW!

(You could find many a joke to fit my stereotype :) With any of you that  I've been fortunate enough to meet, you know I have a bit twisted (may I say warped) sense of humor - it is my gift. Kinda long winded (and I thread when I talk just like I do when I write in the forum. By the way, it is enjoyable with everyone writings, not just typing - everything is so entertaining and informative.

We start our "8th year" on the 20th of February as a forum, sweet.

Scads... Beautiful hobby indeed! Of all the creatures on Earth, I think some of the coolest ones (like creatures from another galaxy) the creatures occupy our oceans, that's almost 80% of our planet - many at unfathomable depths. They are hauntingly beautiful to watch. Thanks for sharing :)

I honestly believe the "dumb polish" jokes came from a misreported story that they charged the German Tanks on horseback in 1939 (they had actually torn up some german infantry, but wound up trapped and defeated by the fast panzers.)  yep, bringing a horse to a tank battle is pretty dumb.

 :whip:   Children, children, sit down and hush up!  Listen carefully now, there may be a pop quiz.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=peckerwood (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=peckerwood)
>>>“A peckerwood is a rural white southerner, usually poor, undereducated or otherwise ignorant and bigoted, the term gained popularity in the deep south during the early twentieth century and was meant to be derogatory. It is a reversal of the name of the red bellied [?] woodpecker which had a patch of red on the back of its head and neck, therefore a peckerwood is a redneck,…<<<”

This comes from a former Audubon member and a life long birdwatcher.  Someone needs to give the Urban Dictionary folks an anatomy lesson, they can't tell their neck from their belly.  To my knowledge there is no bird known as the “red bellied wood pecker.”  The bird referred to is the NORTHERN flicker.  There are two color phases of the NORTHERN flicker, the red shafted and the yellow shafted, Google it.  The yellow-shafted color phase of the NORTHERN flicker is the state bird of Alabama, aka the Yellowhammer State.  The “hammer” part of its name comes from the sound this bird makes while carving out nesting sights in dead or hollow trees.  Honeybees looking for a home often used these holes to gain access to hollow trees cavities.

Y’all all get a life, at worst this is a tempest in a crack pipe and at best a storm in a shot glass, because none of you have been anything but good little Politically Correct (though grossly misinformed) boys and girls. 

From the 1980s until shortly before 911, I had extensive dealings with people from the Middle East.  Therefore, I never refer to adherents to the dictates of the god known as Allah by any name other than the Politically Incorrect name, “Mohammedan.”  Behind my back, many Mohammedans referred to me as “abdula al Christian,” (slave to the Mohammedan prophet Jesus Christ) or “al Infidel” or “Crusader”.  However, if the Mohammedans would only give me the honors to which my birthright entitles me and call me a name of which I am justifiably proud, like “Cracker,” I would relent.

Some posting here claim to have all the answers, but they don't even understand the questions.
