    I'm always amused when someone makes a stupid categorical statement and then adds a few categories so as to not offend those who were obviously offended by the first all encompassing statement.  

    So "I dislike all poor white people" is code for "I dislike all lazy people regardless of race."  lol.

    Quote from: Matthew
    Mr. Admin of Suscipe Domine (Kaesekopf, or "Cheese head") also seems to have something against a rural way of life and/or large families.

    I don't know much about the forum SD, but if he has something against large families, why is he a traditional Catholic? Is he one of those NFP trads?


    Kaesk of SD is not against rural life or big families.  He is not a supporter of NFP.

    What about lazy wealthy?
    Not everyone with money earned it from their own hard work.


    As per Mith, probably he just meant he dislikes lazy people of all colours, genders, and classes. And if you think of any other ways his comments might be construed as offensive or misbalanced, he didn't mean those either.

    The main reason I jumped to that conclusion is because he said he dislikes ALL poor people. And how many Trads with large families are "well off" or even "middle class"?



    He hasn't figured out yet that he could be one of those "poor people" tomorrow.

    It's something it seems he was never taught when he was growing up, that whenever he sees anyone less fortunate than himself, he should understand it could have just as easily have been him.

    • In my experience he's not against large families or rural life at all. He's against the nutty notion that we need to become Amish 2.0 by withdrawing ourselves from society (and necessarily its benefits, eg. education, a well-paying job), wearing puritan clothing, and having puritan standards of enjoyment and leisure time.

    I'd agree with him.
