Aloha ahiahi, to all.
Malolo, pleasure, and thank you. Rest well. Aloha to you. (Psst... your "name" is like the sweet syrup juice thing in the gallon container. [:I])
Mr. Derrick B., your posts make perfect logical sense. Mahalo. You must be an "old soul in a young body", as it were. [
]
Mr. Opihikaobob, mahalo for your ike (in this instance; not that I agree with all you posts, forgive me please, should I offend).
Mr. Tom, mahalo again. This was not meant to be "racial", however, the silver lining perhaps, is a good discussion. I will never lose a friend over a "controversy/issue". We may disagree on occasion, however, the value of your opinion matters (as all opinions do) to me. In essence, I value friendships (albeit on PW...lol) more than issues. Aloha to you, Sir (and waving to Pam with fond aloha).
When this kind of topic arises, mahalo to those who understand the intent of the original post. Additionally, mahalo to "007" who took the thread to a very important subject. Racism.
In reading this entire discussion (some posts twice, trying to understand), at the very least, we are "talking" about a deep rooted problem. To equate my posts to the "KKK" is beyond comprehension. [:0] Again, not the intent, 007, and forgive me for making you feel that way. Good God.
Additionally, my apologies to those who may be offended in the exact wording of the original post, with regard to their Tribe. Merely wanted to acknowledge the depth of cultural similarities. E kala mai.
Tink, aloha to you, and one day I hope to race you on a "brisk walk", or walk slowly and just visit. []
Kapohocat, EO! Back to topic, our cultures are quite similar, and so are many others. Would you be so kind to share during the journey? Not that we want to go back to primitive means, however, the basis of belief leads generations.
Mahalo for "getting it" to those of you who do, (wait for it; because the "some get it, some never will" trolling is coming...lol.)
rbbyrd, the question you pose is a good one, and it was answered. (ie. "haole" vs. "F*&*&^ haole".) Some of us have been called those names, while being Hawaiian/Kanaka Maoli. Go figure?!?!? [:0]
In the end, when the topic and comments are dissected to the hilt, the original intent is lost. Again.
Thus, leaving you all with this for the evening, trying to bring it back to center, and the intent of this thread:
"The Power of Positive Thinking" - Norman Vincent Peale (Circa. 1898) (*Note: Many, many other links available)

Bid you all a good night, as my Niners kicked some Vikings this past Monday night! GO NINERS! (Sorry, O/T, but I've over the bloody moon! LOL. [
]) The "Great Spirit" of the 49ers still lives!
JMO.
