my day at work today

I think my offering is more to the point. 

That is your problem.  You would place yourself in company such as those people.  That is not your place to do - if no one else does it you don't belong there.

Anyone here willing to place this guy amongst those men?

Why not? 

They were all visionaries.

Granted I'm not a known Poet or Statesman or President. 

But I understand ignorance, and I fight against it.  Like in my response post to Polaris.  His white trash comment was extreme ignorance.  So was his "take" on the situation.  I fight that. I hate that.

Polaris thought it was funny.  Some shed of light in his day.  I bet Polaris had a good upbringing, thus his degrading and unfunny comment. 

He probably cannot relate to those people in that room, because he was probably told (like I was) that you go to an interview in a suit  or dress smart to make a good impression. He probably thought they were ignorant.  I went to plenty "group" interviews and they served drinks to make the interviewees comfortable.  I'm sure Polaris wasn't aware of that.

I have a vision that we should all learn to live together in peace.  Just place a sticker on me as racist or bigot or dillhole for having that thought.  Jefferson was not a saint, neither was Franklin or Wilde, but they had the insight to know what an ignorant person is.  As do I.  Thus their quotes.

I don't mind if you use my quote, just please use it in the correct context.  I use it often in my travels as I do come across people with the same problem as Polaris.

So lets revise what was said about me in this thread:

I'm a racist for making an immigrant comment which is well documented by the UK media.
I'm a xenophobe for not laughing and sharing the "joke" that was "White Trash in Wales."
I'm a dillhole for making a point that ignorance is not something to be proud about.
I'm a dillhole for having a different point of view and sharing some words of wisdom.
I'm a dillhole for having compassion for others who are less fortunate than we are.

Anything else?

I've cut that down to the key points.

Anything else?

You're too verbose.  You make me look succinct.  Your posts are like Barry Bonds' melon - unnaturally large, completely empty, and probably the result of some serious drug abuse.
