Add in forced laughter and you got yourself a Stephen Colbert or maybe a Bill Maher.
I know, right? Can't stand these guys.
I feel much better now having left a few comments on that thread. And I too like to live dangerously, so I won't even edit them. xD
I just checked that thread. I see I must be one of the idiots. I was just trying to be funny. I know I've failed multiple times in the past, but I never thought that makes me an idiot.
Yes. Unfortunately you were one of the two who decided to misinterpret my joke and take it some place IT DID NOT BELONG.
I will not hold a grudge. I will not tell you how to act or what to do. But at least you know where I stand.
You also misinterpreted mine, but I do not hold a grudge either.

That's all I knew about number 4, until I had to do some further research after reading your post.
Have a good one.
Edit: More positive stuff about number 4. I honestly always thought it was a lucky number.

Edit2: And more.

I'm aware of that interpretation, and many others. If you look at the context there, you'd see why I might have trouble believing this is the interpretation you were using at the time.
The whole point though, is since a couple people chimed in their bad attitudes, I look bad. I wasn't around to correct it or set the record straight. I wake up and it looks like I'm the ringleader. That other dude sent a pretty clear message there. It's not hard to see what you folks were getting at. And using that context as a joke? That's not humor.
If it's my 40th birthday, and I wrote a post, it would be pretty fucked up if people came along to "joke" with their 4444's. That's the point here. I shouldn't have to tiptoe around the use of a 4 simply because there are bigots out there willing to use it as an insult.
This is your way of interpreting the situation, and maybe someone else's too. But I do know better than anyone else where I was going with this, so you guys can speak for yourselves and only. I wouldn't have a problem to admit it anyway. I'm just a stranger here.
But I don't have the right to claim the same thing, right?
Anyway, I'm not here to argue. I meant what I meant and anyone can think whatever they want.
Writing a simple 4 shouldn't even be something that could be misinterpreted. But here we are. See my point yet?
Yes, and you said it better in your post.
I just think it takes a bad person to joke about the death or well-being of another man, and I'm certainly not that person. If I were I would be proud about it I guess. Just assuming though.
