dude

whenever someone says
"as ____ so eloquently put it, ___"
you know that's something they actually care about

high-level sarcasm; making fun of ineloquence on an internet forum

macd dunt touch my bro!!
LOL, i haven't done anything to him and i don't plan on it, don't worry

he wasn't referring to your usage of the word jew or *****, he was commenting on how there are more offensive terms that should be phased out of use in the English language, words more offensive than gay.

The fact that you think it's not okay to use gay as a derogatory term while you still use ***** or jew is a direct manifestation of your hypocrisy. It says that it's not okay to call someone gay, but it is okay to call them a jew *****, which brings me to the second point. In all your words, you still didn't address Pocky's question of why should gays should receive special treatment.

Are gay people better than *****es and jews?
If someone is acting like a fairy, by all means go call them gay. The main thing is the word has spread beyond people and is now used to describe things in a negative way, just makes it seem like it's a bad thing.

i don't get why it's special treatment? I brought up something that is offensive to others (ever see the ads like the one that was posted earlier? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVicCD8FmMs or the website http://www.thinkb4youspeak.com/GetInformed/ ). Now it's up to others to do as they see fit. If they don't see a problem then don't stop, but if they see it as a problem they can stop. Why not fight a battle that currently going on? I mean a little education never hurt anyone.

if it catches on it catches on

the "meaning" of a word or phrase is whatever society interprets it to mean (like how "literally" means "virtually" :mad:)

if people interpret "gay" to mean approximately the same thing in some context (and I'd argue that we do), then that's what it means

it's not some weak catchphrase that a few randoms are trying to get widely accepted; it's something that IS widely accepted
i see what you are saying and actually expected an answer like this from you

still, i think it's good food for thought for many people

what would be good words to say in lieu of gay and f@g?
you're a big boy tai, i'm sure you can figure out a synonym and have your sentence mean the same thing

allowing 15 minute videos doesn't make up for the travesty of a subscription bar that pops up under every god **** video

snake is really cool though

oh well, youtube has a pretty good track record of toning down new features when they become obtrusive. hopefully they'll kill that **** quick.

I remember back in the day there was a lot of porn on youtube. Still curious to how they get rid of such videos so fast.

I know your suppose to be that hardass that doesn't give a ****, but from what ive seen and heard, you aren't like that in person, so why put so much effort to distort everyones actual 'perception' of you?
fwiw i am exactly how i am irl as i am online. i call people out on bull**** all the time, although in the grand scheme of things i prefer not to even interact with whomever i don't like in the first place. i am loud and boisterous and happy and critical and don't tolerate any disrespect. jun knows **** well he wouldn't of tried to pull this **** irl or he'd get smacked upside the head...

and society says it's ok for them to use it so whatever.
society says it's okay to use gay too. get over it.

No advances in society were ever made by just sticking with the status quo.

What society says is ok today might not be ok tomorrow

Was Slavery ok? If you had to clean up after my **** cause society "says its ok" would you be able to get over it?

Being a hardass brings limitations to your reasoning. Choose one or the other.

your arguments are solid but you're just repeating what people have told you. Your thoughts are nothing new and I've heard them a hundred times before.

also, who were you arguing with?

Outta curiousity, I want to know if your online posts gear towards sarcasm for a response or if you're trying to be serious, Adam.

I can never tell based on how you react to people's reactions. Internet sarcasm is not the easiest thing for me to detect.

Razor is good too =]

although I don't like how you can't really see the "direct" improvement from wraith bands. Like more mana or health. Its kinda a "I think its working?" kinda thing.

i dunno, it's always a case by case situation. i'm not a serious guy by default but you dont have to read between the linesi n any of my posts if that's what you mean. prob the only time i'm never serious is commenting in vid threads / trolling for mms

just curious but how many of you guys use the new "super taskbar" or w/e its called from Windows 7? My brother enlightened me on how it is mostly able to replace a dock program when I was running Rocketdock. If you guys even use docks and cheesy stuff like I do =[

my desktop. That taskbar is pretty useful. Its like a pseudo dock. Had to jump through lots of hoops to get my computer iconed and on there though.

random computer stuff. computers are awesome.

connor's post is about JTB's habit/mannerism of identifying other smashers' habits/mannerisms


I recently got a laptop with windows 7 on it and it has that taskbar thing on it. I use it a lot, but Jun, how do you have an empty desktop and only a few things on the taskbar? I guess I'm not good at organizing my computer efficiently cuz that would be impossible for me.
