I have read that there are those offended by this game:
Those familiar pieces to the Monopoly game are the shoe, the thimble and the race car, but have you ever heard of the version with the gun or crack cocaine?
It's sure not your typical board game with player pieces that include a machine gun, drugs and a bottle of malt liquor. You can forget about buying up hotels -- in this game you purchase crack houses instead.
Ghettopoly is designed with every ethnic group in mind including the Irish, Asians and Latinos. The game's creator is David Chang, who immigrated to America from Taiwan 20 years ago. It seems a lot of people aren't laughing. In fact, they are offended -- calling it racist pornography and the worst of stereotypes.
and
Blacks deserve a public apology from Urban Outfitters for selling Ghettopoly, a new board game that promotes "racial hatred," members of a civil rights group said yesterday.
Cynthia Davis, national crisis director for the National Action Network, the organization founded by the Rev. Al Sharpton, noted that the retail store took the games off its shelves amid complaints, but she added that an apology had not been offered.
The entire game is offensive, it seems like you're targeting a certain community saying that this entire race of people are no more than drug addicts, alcoholics, crack heads and that's the way they live in the inner city," said Davis.
The game replicates Monopoly but replaces the game pieces with "ghetto" characters including "playas," crack houses and pimps.
On a Web site promoting the game's release, the objective is described: "If a playa owns all the stolen property in da same color pattern, da playa can buy crack houses from da Loan Shark and set 'em up on da property. If da playa has four crack houses on each of the stolen properties of da same color pattern, he can buy projects from da Loan Shark."
Workers at the Urban Outfitters on Sixth Avenue in Greenwich Village said the games were taken off the shelves over "customer concerns" and referred inquiries to their headquarters in Pennsylvania. There, a phone operator said no one was immediately available to comment. -

Multiple boards/Multiple personalities?
by JH in.
going from board to board i notice how certain people who post will be so different on other board, while some don't change their style.. do you change your personality or style when you post on other boards and try to fit in and be accepted there, or do remain yourself no matter where you post?

Does it make sense what I am saying? I am still the same person no matter what board I have been "on" but some people can bring out different sides to me..
some sites might even be more boring.. so I might ..have dryer posts??
or a smaller more private site, I might be more open, knowing a thousand people are not reading..
but all sides can be me.

Yes, as already mentioned the deer population can be out of control. I have to say on behalf of those who love to hunt and for those who don't understand it, hunting may seem to sound cruel, however having lived in northern Wisconsin and Minnesota where there are so many deer that if the population was not kept down by hunters, many of them would die of starvation if the winter was long and cold. Starvation would not be my pick of a way to go. Come spring when the snow melted in the fields first, the deer would come out of the forests to eat and we would see as many as a hundred deer grazing in the fields on the side of the rural roads. And that is after hunting season which is in the fall. Imagine if no one hunted. You had to be ever on alert, because you never know when a deer was going to jump out in front of your car. We had a near miss once where we hit a deer (my ex did) and it managed after hitting the front side of the car to be thrown in the air over our car. Had my ex been going slower, it would have come right through our windshield and I can only imagine how bad the accident might have been. (of course I wouldn't have been driving like a bat out of hell like he always did either so the need to 'fly' for the deer at all might have been avoided.. )
Any way, a lot of people enjoy eating venison (sp?) as well, so it can put food on the table. It doesn't happen to be my favorite however venison made into salame is delicious.

In the past I have been on several discussion boards at one time (pro JW boards). [I am only here now.] Any way, I was different on each of those boards even though I was posting on them at the same time. However, I was still me on all of them. Here is my reasoning for why I think you might see a difference from one place to another: If you think about it, you can have several circles of friends and depending on which group of friends you are spending time with or even which combination of those same friends, you might find the 'mood' in the room different. It doesn't mean that any of the moods are wrong or pretence, but instead different personalities bring out different sides of us. I have found that discussion boards can bring out different sides to us too or at least they have with me in the past.

I had kicked my soon to be ex out and the elders said I had no choice but to take him back. I had done my research and found that on the grounds of health, one could leave their spouse. They said as long as he wasn't beating me, I had no grounds. Didn't matter that he told me that I deserved to have my fingers broken or that he had threatened to kill others in the past for less than he said I was doing to him. He would use mind games to threaten and degrade me and make me feel like I should be dead or beaten, but he said he is a christian now so he couldn't do it, he just wanted me to know what I deserved, OVER and OVER. Yeah, christians treat people like they should be beaten. So emotionally he was killing my spirit and on two occasions it was all I could do not to take a bottle of pills just to rid myself of him. Then when he broke into my email and read correspondence between me and a close friend and then totally lost it because he felt she was trying to break us up, he sent horrid emails to me saying he thought I should know that when he was walking beside me he felt like he was walking next to a prostitute and claims he was sure I was fornicating with all kinds of men. Which I wasn't. I was so mad when I read those, it was the last straw. I went home and while he was out, changed the locks. I had had it. And like I said, the elders made me take him back. They put him in a house with a family in the cong (man had no job, or ability yet since he did not have a grn card) and they told that family I would take him back the next day. That was a lie! They never even told me they told them that, or asked them to take him in. So the next day they come looking for me and all down my throat about what was going on. I never asked them to become involved and yet I am in trouble because this man is burdening them and because the elders said I had to take him back, I was supposed to. Well in the end I did, because I hated someone else was being burdened. Looking back now though I sure am sorry I ever did. I am so angry yet about how the elders handled everything and that was why I chose not to go back. They didnt' care that this man could have pushed me over the edge. He didn't fit in their little guidelines of what is allowed and what is not. I was supposed to take on the weight of the whole thing and play nice since according to 'their rules' there were no grounds for a divorce.
Rules rules rules.. I am so done..
and he can have his grounds. I could care less. but they can figure it out on their own. I'm not going back or writing a letter to make it all easy for them. If I chose not to play, why do I have to ease my conscience or make their life easier. I don't feel bad about what I am doing in my life right now so why apologise. They have to do what they have to do, and so do I.
I choose to live my life for the first time in my life. (yes.. this subject does raise my blood pressure).. but its ok.. like I said.. this whole situation opened my eyes and I really needed that. I just wish I had been able to see years ago.
