no, amusing is when people hear a word, instantly think the person is slanderring them for being of a certain color, then blame racism on the other person!!

sounds to me like you are the racist if thats all thats on your mind!

Hey's I figure the guys tresspassing on my property (inside my car), so it is technically private property! :Graucho

AKA "Ohh, okay well I understand a bit more now... Thanks for the enlightment. "

can always smack yerself in face with a brick and claim your life was threatened

:Graucho

when you own a gun you think of these things, heh

Hopefully you still have receipts or pictures of the stuff in your car or something.

Might have a hard time getting your insurance to cover it if you don't.

I think the last time I checked my insurance policy I was only covered for $1000 worth of electronics in my vehicle in case of theft.

I've never bothered to call them to get it raised. The thieves aren't bad around here though. I don't even have to lock my doors most of the time.

This is very true! I've never tought about this! :Graucho

jDG

The word refers to black people?

He used it in a negative way.

He didn't say "I was walking along and some ****** gave me $10!".....

Hell.. even that sounds bad/derogatory -- and the person making the statement just came up $10 (rather than having his system jacked)

TDF says he's sorry but he's gonna have to keep the stereo.

He's gotta get money for traffic somewhere yahurd?

:2 cents:

#1 i dont even have full coverage on my car lol

#2 there is no theft here either, its an amazingly safe neighborhood.


well, until now i guess ... since the fucking ******s figured out what i had in my car lol

it doesn't matter what the word REFERS to. only thing that matters is how he MEANT it.

fuck, i can say this:

dark lampshades crest baloons

=

how are you today?

OR

that fucking god damn ****** piece of shit HIT ME

=

that fucking god damn BASTARD piece of shit HIT ME

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

see? i'm not RACIST if i MEANT it... sure, people might get offended because i used a word commonly associated with racism, but it doesn't MAKE me RACIST since i USED it.

i call people faggots who irritate me sometimes... i dont mean to imply that they're homosexuals though..

:)

Actually no, that's incorrect.

With regards to "******," it's a word that used to be the white man's term of oppression, and which has been largely liberated by black people and the semantic ownership of the word has been transferred back to them. That is why it is considered acceptable for a black person to use the word "******" disparagingly, but not a white person - in the latter case, it is still a term of control, regardless of intention. It is just another example of the well documented subversion and assimilation of black (urban) culture into white pop culture - just as rich white kids listening to hip hop and trying to be gangstas is. Is it academic? Yes. Is it real? Yes. Language is the fundamental building block on which society is built, and it is through language and ideas that society changes.

My offence at rich's terminology is not at the word "******" itself, but at the inherent implication that the thieves were automatically black and thus a lower class of citizen. For the record I'm not an African American, just liberal. :)

lil2rich4u2 what part of ny you live in?

no, its not incorrect. to you, word's have INHERENT meanings, to me, they DON'T... therefore I can use what the fuck ever words I want to and apply whatever fucking meanings I want to - and it will STILL not change the fact that I AM who I AM.

they're just words people, WORDS. the intent is the ultimate definition.

and i don't really give a shit if people get offended because I use a word that others don't like... its a fucking sound that comes out of my mouth, not a mirror image of who I am inside.

Hilarious how bent people get over a simple word.

sorry i took over your thread rich ;)

i've always wanted this oppurtunity to school people on this subject.

if you take the true meaning of ****** (the defined term) then it ha snothing to do with being racial oit means white trash get a fucking grip people btw http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/indifferent.gif

What an ignorant idiot! Another racist asshole I'll never do biz with

Yep, in the south there has always been blacks that get respect and ******s which are scum.

:Graucho

100 stolen radios

I knew i should have gottin in on thid thred earlier!

Actually I told the mexican neighbours I knew of a nice set up just down the road :Graucho

You can attempt to rationalize it however you want....

But here's the bottom line:

if you can't say whatever racial slur you are trying justify in a room full of that race of people without getting your teeth knocked out - then maybe it shouldn't be said.

I'm sure if you (being white) was in a room full of unfamiliar black people and you were telling a story and said
"that fucking god damn BASTARD piece of shit HIT ME"... nobody is going to care. If you use "******" ... well... good luck.

i prefer a theif to a racist

true, i wouldn't.. not because I think it'd be wrong, but because I know people take words too seriously and would try to physically hurt me.

The biggest thieves, by far, are not black people. Think about the big Internet bubble. Billions and billions of normal people's savings disappeared. Think about Enron, WorldCom, etc. All white folks.

:disgust

Cogent.


The hosting industry used to (and many still do) get bent out of shape about that word, or when confronted with that word.

-- and nobody even swung from a tree over it.


Yeah.. I guess throwing "******" around here and there to refer to people who stole your ___________ (all races aside of course!) isn't a big deal.

You're right.

Those pesky words will cause trouble every time.

Instead of using words to communicate we should just point & grunt like we did back in the old days.

They wont....

Unless there is a stolen pistol laying around near the headless body.

Damn you ******s talk a lot!

i'm just happy that i was in on the 1st page. looks like this ones going all the way this week

nope, how about.. instead of being a fucking ignorant touchy sensitive prick, just not CARE about the words people use ?

karma..

i stole your radio

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Man, your bullshit theory is weak, I can't believe you are supporting this. Clearly the word is offensive, and so many people in this thread are telling you they are offended and you are still going off with this shit. Carlin can suck my dick, what is he the judge of when people can be offended? Get a clue man.

And, no I am not black..

Customers were the ones who went nuts about it. Even mention Cogent and people would go running for the hills. Ask them why and they had absolutely no idea.

It was funny then and it's funny now. I fail to see your point, if you have one.

i am looking at the situation logically... and i've proven my point well. i understand that most people find it offensive.. but i'm saying they SHOULDN'T find it offensive.... unfortunately people are stupid, conditioned, and too stubborn to take on new ideas.

so, you get a clue.

What knowledge? You are a fucking ignoramus and you are adding more proof to this theory with every post you make..
