Guest #1 March 10, 2003 Read for yourself what one of those ra**** (peaceloving fundamentalist moslems) said on a videotape they made of their target. When they called their targets "Enemies of God", they just meant that they felt unhappy that a Christian holiday was being vilified by crass materialist shopping, really. And I'm the tooth fairy.

wmw999 2,589 #2 March 10, 2003 Mark, that's an offensive term usually used as a racial slur. Doesn't mean these aren't bad guys who probably happen to be Muslims, but there are other offensive terms that people don't commonly use also.

Guest #3 March 10, 2003 I've been waiting for someone to call me out on that. As stated elsewhere, I reserve the term "raghead" for fundamentalist moslem whackos. Nobody hesitates to label hypocrites like Jimmy Swaggart and Jerry Falwell with derogatory names, can we do any less for monsters like these? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyingferret 0 #4 March 10, 2003 Yeah Mark you might want to edit to avoid the fork. Although in the context used, after having read the article, I dont take offense.-- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest #5 March 10, 2003 Well, if the fork is involved, I'll revise it under protest. edit for grammar. "The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyingferret 0 #6 March 10, 2003 You have a point. I grew up hearing people like that called Right Wing Fundamentalist Conspirators, Holy Rollers, etc, etc. Of course I never liked it much, so that is not much of an excuse. Personally, I dont care what you call terrorist. Dirty f#%ing Tangos is fine with me. But....it is Sangiro's place....be careful!!!-- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

PhillyKev 0 #8 March 10, 2003 yeah...it's only ok to use the n word when talking about black criminals the k word when talking about jews that are greedy the c word when talking about asians that we once had a war against. As long as you use derogatory ethnic slurs against a subset of that group, it's not offensive....geez. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyingferret 0 #12 March 10, 2003 No, still offensive, I just said it doesn't bother me. I am not very politically correct.-- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,120 #13 March 10, 2003 >Nobody hesitates to label hypocrites like Jimmy Swaggart and Jerry > Falwell with derogatory names, can we do any less for monsters like > these? Raghead is a derogatory name for arabs. It's like calling Jesse Jackson a n***r, then claiming "No, I only use that for hypocrites like Jesse Jackson!" Doesn't work, though you're free to try it around a group of african-americans sometime. (edited so as not to offend yet another group) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyingferret 0 #14 March 10, 2003 Not trying to open a can of worms here since I pointed out to mark early on, he might want to change. I think these offensive terms are very dated these days. I call a lot of my friends cr@ckers, and I know A LOT of african-americans (or whatever new fangled term is popular right now) that call each other n***ers. It all depends on your association with said people. But honestly, there are a lot of people these days that do not take them that seriously.-- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

flyingferret 0 #15 March 10, 2003 Mark, nice one. I cannot seem to reconcile the subject line with the context of the article. We seems to have a paradox here? -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's something you do IN the family. Because then you know the context and intent. "family" is a lose term here. For instance, it sounds a lot better coming from you that I'm a nut who skydives, than it would stated disdainfully from someone evaluating me for insurance. And as far as the title? Well, Peaceloving obviously doesn't apply. I realize that you're trying to bend PC to make it look ridiculous, but sometimes it's just a matter of being polite. Yeah, I realize polite is bullshit, but such is life. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it.

flyingferret 0 #18 March 10, 2003 I may see your point although, I think that openly perpetuating a stereotype of one's self limits the recourse against others who follow suit.
