      No, Denis, you CANNOT consider my saying that psychedelics aren't known for       causing cardiac arrest as implying that he might have given her some.               I said that I was aware of Wahid's writings on psychedelics, and that I never       saw him use any, nor did I see any in his house, nor did I observe him at any       time in a state that could be considered anywhere near what could fall under       the broad category        of 'stoned'.              I observed him in person almost constantly when not sleeping for a week, and       have known him for 7 years, and have had consistent correspondence, including       many a Skype chat. Never met Roya in person. While this might not seem like       all that much it's far        far more than you can claim.               Now, I know very little of how the German or Australian equivalents of CPS       work. But living in these (predominantly white) US, and having been involved       quite a bit with Black power and Chicano power activists, I have quite a good       understanding of the        biases and discriminatory practices of CPS here, and how it's an agent of       cultural genocide.        So, no, I'm not surprised at the possibility of German social services doing       similar to a brown single father.               His daughter is a very strong-willed child. Only two months into a grieving       period, I seriously doubt any parent could have kept up a facade about their       parenting style for a full week in such circumstances.               Now, you sure seem to be insinuating the possibility of some moral though not       legal culpability for Roya's death on Wahid himself with your talk of       psychedelics.       Yet, when I point out to you if you were hypothetically correct in the       baseless appraisal of his psychological state, that needling him in       cyberspace might not be a good idea to do to a single parent, you say that       such wouldn't make you at all culpable.               You can't have it both ways, motherfucker!!!              I'm someone who doesn't have a problem telling people to go fuck themselves,        and Wahid is far from the only friend I have of similar personality. Over the       years, we've all done or share of telling people off despite the repeated       platitudes of our more        restrained friends such as "you catch more flies with honey than with       vinegar". Well, I ain't much for flies, and sweet-toothed as I am, anyone who       says that never had good balsamic vinegar. I've blocked plenty of people, and       probably been blocked by        plenty of folks who consider me an asshole. No regrets!       Yet, I have never once thought of wasting so much fucking time as to create       fake pages lampooning people, creating websites just to ridicule then, and       certainly never resorted to jobs at their personal life.        So when you claim your cyberspace actions toward Wahid as mere tit for tat...       no, asshole, it ain't, not even close!!!              And if you consider my grading you with a D+/C- rather than an F in the       manipulative skills department as a compliment... well, if that's what you       wanna do to stroke your ego, it's no skin off my ass.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
