lol "offensive", if something offends you then you need to go find a mirror right now, point at the person reflected in it, and say out loud: STOP. BEING. A. BITCH.

Then go about your life as normal and stop acting like you're going to change the world by changing peoples nouns and adverbs.

Things offend me, dont get me wrong, but I take that offense privately and I dont expect the world to conform to MY standard of morality.

I hope you judgmental language nazis have you're seat belts on, its a long way down from that high horse.

Before you continue calling people names GHM remember that you're in A&P.

Technically, he called himself a bitch, which i think might be okay, even in P&CA.

He's also right.

I read it as Universal You, and saw no I's in his statement, which appeared to be to anyone who is on the 'offended' side of this talk. And to that, I don't think it's right to call people a bitch for having feelings about something.

It sounds to me like it was not always used in an intentionally offensive way, but that the word did/does exist with the purpose of labelling another race as inferior. IOW, it hasn't always been used as an insult, but it sure as shit was never meant as a compliment.

Sidestepping the BS bickering that usually comes from the same handful, I'd like to make note that Murfreesboro has a large population of old schoolers, so it's not surprising at all.

**SageTree** · 08-31-2010, 05:37 PM

My apologies Dan, in the morning while drinking my coffee that is what my psyche spit out. It wasn't a taunt, only an slip in namage. Again apologies.

I don't think I'm out of line in how I read what you wrote due to the timing and audience you were addressing. If you would have made it more 'I' instead of 'you', in the naming of the 'bitch', then I would have taken it you were talking to yourself, but that isn't how it appeared to me.

How it looked to me is that this was become personal and not about the issue, I hope you can understand why I drew the conclusions I did there Brother.

And just so you know regarding your opinion. There is nothing the matter with the rest of it.

But if I had opinions like your's I'd look in the mirror and call myself a bitch

just playing man.

Reportedly the last word said to Isaih Shoals was NIGGER, before he became one of the murdered students at Columbine High School, Littleton, Colorado, on April 20, 1999.

Hate is hate is hate. Not uttering certain words does nothing to erase hate. Neither does linking it to an isolated incident perpetrated by a sociopath, especially one that may or may not be true. If anything they are both perpetuating the problem.

Stripping such words of the power you afford them, erasing the ignorance that hatred stems from and educating those in whom it's been instilled are battles much more worthy of your efforts.

like louie said, every time you say "n-word", youre just making me say "nigger" inside my own head. So if you're going to refer to it, just use it.

**Kompressor** · 08-31-2010, 08:28 PM

Please youtube the next time you say that to a black person.

yeah Rev, all that is understood, I was only proving your point on the origins of the word. that's all.

Lloydy · 09-01-2010, 04:46 AM

I love how patriots answer to everything is weed. If his house was burning down he'd probably throw weed on it.
Although maybe he has a point, if the rednecks were all stoned they probably couldnt be bothered to burn a mosque down.

The Rev · 09-01-2010, 07:24 AM

Are you saying the answer to everything ISN'T weed?
