You mean like google's targeted advertising?

Meh. Suggestions would be nice, but I enjoy the wide open space where I never know what I'll find around the next corner.

Hm, no more "ghey" or "gay" as derogatory terms?
I can live with that.
But since we can't use "pussy" or "cunt" anymore, either, I'm afraid we are running out of appropriate terms to voice our disappointment or anger at certain specimens of humanity.

Ghey or motorpsycho67 has nothing to do with homosexuality. But you already know that.

I have queer friends. I call my friend John a fag, and he doesn't care cause he knows I'm just goofin on him and I'm not homophobic (another word I can't stand. I don't have a fear of homosexuality).

I'll still be using the word. If someone gets sand in their mangina over it, tough titties.

Nothing that says you can't go looking for something different, but right now the big deal are news aggregate sites where they take all the news that their demographic is into and post it to one meta site, I think the next step in that arena will be a 'you aggregate site'.

I mean, really, we all have maybe a half dozen or so sites we browse on any given day, loading their individual crappy superfluous framework and ads, why not drive content to yourself and skip the bullshit?

If there's a reason you wouldn't say something's "gay," then why doesn't the same logic apply?

Liz is calling for a ban on 'douchebag'.... Meaning that most ppl we refer to as 'douchebags' are NOT someone/something she'd want to shove up her vag.... I'm just saying'....

edit: Upon doing a bit of etymology of the word 'gay' finds that the use of the word 'gay' as a perjorative predates the use of it in refference to homosexuals.

Go clean up first and use mouthwash"). He is laughing so hard he can't talk anymore. For more fun go to urbandictionary.com

So there, I’ve said my piece. Ignore it, say I’m being oversensitive, disagree, call me a fag, whatever. That’s another thing about this board. My opinion doesn’t matter any more than anyone else’s, but I would have felt pretty shitty if I didn’t get it out.

To tell you the truth, I don’t care as much now as I did when I started writing this. Fuck it, I can't really maintain this level of seriousness.

I think it's funny that you mention naked chicks and then 5 sentences later your will to write and argument collapse. Coincidence? I think not. It's the classic "trip yourself up thinkin' about boobies" mistake. I do it all the time. Please allow me to assist.

You're asking people to actually reconsider the idea of what is obscene. We've grown so casual with throwing around profanities that most folks have lost touch with the words they're using.

Once upon a time the word "nigger" was commonplace -- and some places it still is. However, most (most) of the folks on here will call the guy next to him a "cum-guzzling shit-sucking fat flatulent dogfucker," but would never call him "nigger." Why?

I mean, take a look at the pix from Doom -- aside from that Spic Ci$co, we're goddamn white bread with mayo and cream cheese with the crusts cut off... (well, aside from all the goddamn Jewboys...)

But nobody says "nigger!"

Everybody seems pretty cool with "fag" or "gay" or "ghey" or "your mother sucks cocks in hell!"...

I was sitting around the dinner table when I was a kid -- 10 years old? -- with my parents and some old friends of the family. Good Old Southern folks. Amos said something about "I dunno what that nigger thought he was doing coming to my my front door..."

My head shot up and my mother kicked me under the table to tell me to keep quiet. She motioned we'd talk later. After supper and in the car home, she explained that while Amos and his wife Betty were dear friends, there were simply some things we didn't want to discuss with them, race relations foremost among them. However, Amos thought no more of calling some (presumably black) buy a nigger than I would calling Rock a bellicose fucktard, or Belshe an Okie asshole.

My point here is that the "n bomb" has gained such status in socially liberal circles that it is one of the few taboo words. It is, in some way, an acknowledgment of a serious wrongdoing to the Black community for a long time.

Richard Pryor and George Carlin on the subject:

And while I personally find the "ghey" thing mostly harmless... it's only "mostly."

So PEACE, you jangleplantz ghey niggas.

I'm not trying to be an asshole here, and I know you aren't either GG, but I"m calling it as I see it. Lexicon>hate (no matter how trendy)
I don't recall saying "homosexual" at any point here. If any homosexuals in the group were offended by my use (or spelling) of the "G" word, then let me extend my sincerest apologies.

Look, even gay people use the term "gay" as a pejorative. One term can have multiple meanings, and context is everything.

Dan, I think you realize by now that I LIKE faggots, dykes, hebes, spics, niggers, kikes, wops, wogs, nips, chinks, krauts, slopes, frogs, blanket asses, zipperheads, roundeyes, micks, crackers, beaners, pakkies, white trash, ragheads, gooks, dagos, honkies, spooks, limeys, wetbacks, gubbas, breeders, kaffirs, peckerwoods, jungle bunnies, cheese heads, darkies, taffies, wagon burners, hose heads, gaijin, taigs, okies, tokies, yokels, camel jockeys, goyim, gut eaters, curry munchers, ivans, buffies, bohunks, jocks, yankees, polacks, bog trotters, geeks, nerds, dweebs, treehuggers, gringos, snowbacks, jook sing, haole, oreos, apples, twinkies, wiggers, chiggers, backsliders, burnouts, jack mormons, mackerel snappers, and even some bible thumping holy rollers.

What would be better than calling something "gay"? How about saying that something looks "stupid"? Wait... doesn't that disparage those of inferior intelligence? What about "lame"? Won't handicapped people get upset about that? Oh, wait, sorry, not "handicapped" -- disabled! No, no, not "disabled"! Other-enabled! Handicapable?

The word 'gay' ... need not be offensive... or homophobic... The governors said, however, that Moyles was simply keeping up with developments in English usage. [...] The committee... was "familiar with hearing this word in this context." The governors believed that in describing a ring tone as 'gay', the DJ was conveying that he thought it was 'rubbish', rather than 'homosexual'. [...] The panel acknowledged however that this use... in a derogatory sense... could cause offence in some listeners, and counselled caution on its use.

—BBC Board of Governors
I think we can carry political correctness too far...

Have you ever said "this sucks"?
Have you ever called someone or something a "cocksucker"?
Where do you think these particular pejoratives originated?

roadmissile · Post by **roadmissile** » Mon Aug 24, 2009 10:57 pm

So if I'm understanding this right according to Carlin, GG can say electric bikes are ghey because GG is in fact gay?

Meh, I feel the same here as I do about race and gender, some jokes are funny but it's wrong to discriminate based on any of these things.

Oh yeah, and it's the fucking UTMC, if we weren't pretty much equal opportunity crass I wouldn't hang around here.

Some people are always going to be more likely than others to re-consider or modulate themselves in the interest of a larger goal. Then there will be those who insist on 'making a stand' with their own usage, like the people who wear swastikas in an effort to reclaim the symbol as a native motif. The challenge of that is context.

Some days I find myself thinking 'its only the internet, its a sea of crap, so it doesn't matter what I say or how I say it', but there are other days when I think 'there's a vast number of people who might read what I say- does it make sense, is it helpful, is it thoughtful' etc etc

I say 'write like what you say matters', and if people 'would have to know me' to understand, consider providing the context that's needed... or leave it out.

I like the idea there but that means those that wish to call something gay or whatever have to also provide a disclaimer. For 99.9% of the conversations that go on around here that kind of thing should be unnecessary.

As a rule, I don't hold my tongue. I say and do what I am thinking without passing or processing it through any kind of filter. This has gotten me into some kind of trouble on countless occasions. One of the drawbacks of being The Local Villain, I guess. I've been (sporadically) trying to adopt Pattio's mindset above, however mostly unsuccessfully. But sometimes I catch myself resenting the very idea of doing so. On the one hand, words or actions can hurt or anger someone I know. On the other, to stifle (what I understand to be) "me" feels wrong. Screwed either way, it seems.

Fuck man, if we had to go back through every one of your conversational inclusions we'd never get off the internet you Postwhoring Sooner.
Here's an idea, if a fellow member uses a word or phrase and if'n you are not perfectly clear on its use as to whether it is intended to be derogatory specific to any demographic or merely as a general derogatory term, use the little PM button and ask for a clarification. There's no need for the rest of the board to get wrapped into a huge pissing contest when its only between the reader and the author.
I have friends gay and straight, as well as most ethnic and religious varieties, and depending on my level of comfort with them we are free to use whatever terms society has chosen as offensive to denigrate one another when we are having a ball-busting session. As I like to think, if as friends we cannot mock those things that make us different, then we will be forced to find something really personal and hurtful to make fun of, and that's just mean.
