Damned, that makes me 200????:eek:

going with a group next weekend and see T-Mike and their alligator farm.

Here's a MILD example of what I came across. Some of you may start looking into these things yourselves after reading it. There's MUCH worse. It's a response someone posted to a video on You Tube called "Swamp People: Bruce Gives a Gator Tour"

"Louisiana is one of the country's least educated states', It doesn't surprise me they have to resort to killing gators to make a buck..Then they act like they have it so hard..Haha, sorry swamp people you make it hard on yourself."

To which I replied:

"Ever heard of Camp Lejeune? It's named after Lt General John Lejeune, 13'th Commandant of the US Marine Corps, and a student of LSU, LOUISIANA State University. Ever hear of Cajunbot? It's an autonomous vehicle developed at ULL, University of LOUISIANA at Lafayette as part of a program of the Department of Defense. It got nationwide media coverage, and was featured on the Discovery Channel. So, you can take your condescending, elitist attitude, shove it up your *** and set fire to it."

Now maybe it's not playing nice, but I had to do it. There was no response back, just a comment of approval from another person. I'm not what you'd call a "keyboard commando", but I gotta admit, that felt good!

My little 'predicament' if you could call it that, is I'm dumb enough to let the insults I read on line bother me. So much so, that the other day I came across a motorcycle website. I don't think it was a 'biker' website, but looked like for guys who like to customize and 'soup up' their bikes. I almost joined it just to reply to an offensive statement some guy put there. Then I asked myself, like 'what the hell am I doing?' and common sense got the better of me and I clicked it off the screen. I've never owned a motorcycle, and have only ridden one, as a passenger, a few times. I'm a reasonably smart guy, college educated, married with 2 kids, job, etc. For some reason this thing just gets under my skin. And I don't even hunt gators, nor do I live in the swamp. Maybe I just can't deny my heritage, and the idea that if you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us. Any of you coonass psychiatrists have some advice?

I looked for it, thinking maybe you meant that the page was closed to further discussion, but the thread was still there. Apparently, that thread itself is gone. It's probably a good thing, though. I like reading the positive comments, but the insulting ones tick me off. Makes me want to load my rifle, sharpen my knife, and cook some rice! Lookout Cajun haters! Hee Hee!!

One comment I came across to one of the YouTube videos (thankfully his comment was removed) was from a guy who said something like, paraphrasing here, "these hunters need to all be shot. I want them all to die a slow, brutal death"

My reply:

"My 13 year old daughter is a hunter. You want her to be shot and to die a slow brutal death?"

He didn't answer.

To quote Hank Williams Jr:

"I'd love to spit some Beech Nut in that dude's eyes, and shoot him with my old .45 'cause a COUNTRY BOY CAN SURVIVE"

'Nuff said!

If any of you have a You Tube account and decide to check out these "Swamp People" videos, if you come across these ignorant ding-bats displaying their stupidity with their rude, hateful comments please speak up for us Cajuns and Rednecks. People can respectfully disagree with the content of what they're watching, and that's ok. I just hate all the bashing we take, and I try to speak out against it. Some of you probably feel the same way.

i am a dego.

:eek::eek: *** dude ?? ok your out of the east side wrecking crew:*****:

Ok, this thread is starting to chase a really WEIRD rabbit now...

Most of em do after a few replys

I check for new responses now and then, and when I saw those I just kinda went "huh?" Couldn't help but laugh a little.

Laughing is your best bet around here! As far as the whole YouTube deal, let it ride. The less the ignorant fools, of this formerly great country know about ours, the better off we are!

Just think, if the whole country knew how good the fishing was here, we'd all be crying about how close people get to us while we're out slingin trout! Lol! That rhymed!

Last nights episode had the Black dudes from Morgan City that can't catch a cold. The sons quit their jobs to help daddy hunt alligators, they are candy boys to the max. Big one could not navigate lilies in a ditch and had to let the old man figure it out, dudes are LAZY! Guess they needed some affirmative action folks on the show for political correctness in the swamp.

X2.

swamp critter....is this what you talking about?? LOL!!

South Park's portrayal of the Cajun skrimper complaining about the BP oil spill....

wtf
 

how the heck did you do that one?lol

No, that's ok. I'm no fan of South park, but that's not bad. We poke fun at ourselves worse than that. Think Poo Poo Broussard and Cooyon Duhon. I like those guy's stuff. What gets me is the really hateful stuff outsiders say about us, like we're inbreeders, no education, etc. Most don't even know what Cajuns are, we're all lumped in under rednecks. Nothing wrong with rednecks, just saying people outside our culture are ignorant about us and often hateful.
