Well fellow members,

I just watched Glen Beck !

10:30 sec. on the word CHINK, and how they fired the announcer that said the word CHINK from ESPN,and how ABC owns 70% of ESPN, and ABC is owned by Disney. So Disney does not like the 14th. century word CHINK!

What an inspiring speaker he is !

I was spellbound !

And I will use the word CHINK all that I want? I think.

Bill

Glenn Beck is a delusional moron.

But have you seen his show on the word "CHINK"?

I don't know how I ever missed this guy on FOX NEWS ?

He must be one of todays best orators !

My only problem with him, is that he comes off as a liberal cry baby. He whines more than a cheap bottle of Ripple.

But other than that, he is A-O.K.!

Bill

He's an absolute buffoon.

Isn't the phrase "cheap Ripple" a bit redundant?

But it is so fitting , in this case :rolleyes:

Bill

It takes a proud man to declare his intent to use a racially insulting term as much as he wants.

Regards,

D-Ray

Everything is racial, politically correct, sexist, hate speech, anti-Semitic, etc. with you liberals. I guess you just have to be born looking for a fight to take a word as a racially charged word.

Now I would bet that you would have a problem with the word "dong", but that is just the National currency of Vietnam. But I'm sure with your liberal little dirty mind you would be thinking something else.

"Sometimes a word is just a word."

I guess that you have a large chink in your armor D-J.

Bo-Cu Dinky Dow, cracker

Bill

Which explains the connection.:rolleyes:

Dave

Bill,

Does the word "context" mean anything to you?

See, I can "chink" a chimney, and that's fine.

But, if I step off a bus in Chinatown and start pointing at people and yelling "CHINK, CHINK, CHINK!!!!", I could reasonably expect to get my teeth kicked in.

See the difference?

Dave

At first my thoughts are you just trying to have some fun. Because one would have to have lived in complete darkness for the last few years not to have ever heard of him. But then maybe you have but I think not.

So this is just your sense of humor and is distasteful to me. That making this kind of statement of another for what ever reason is somehow OK. Must remember this important fact, no choice was given to you at birth of the life ahead. It is what you do with the life given. All cultures should be embraced not looked down upon due to ignorance. After all this land is a melting pot of the worlds people.

So any feelings of superiority you might be having is all in your head. If you were to be in a darken room, everyone would be taken on actions and deeds alone. Sorts like the internet, you don't really know what another looks like just make a judgment on what they say. So do you really want others who read this to think of you this way. Because I would like to still believe you are not that judgmental.


By the way I'm in the camp that GB would of been a cheer leader for Hitler if born in a earlier time. But then again he will spew anything in hopes of getting noticed. The more over the top the better it seems for him.




Barney

I've never seen his show.

Time to watch Grand Torino again. Maybe Glory too.

Let me announce my intention to use racist words:

Niggardly honkeys. ;)

Pete

OK, help me understand. You have expressed a desire to use a particular word. You most certainly have a right to do so. In the context of your post, it is clear that the word had been used by a broadcaster in a manner that was racially offensive - it had resulted in someone losing his job. In your post, you emphasized the impact of the word by capitalizing it. Is the purpose of doing that a sort of declaration of independence? Does it carry some other message that I do not fathom? Help me understand the importance of the word to you.

Regards,

D-Ray

It's all so sensitive. Sometimes I wonder if we're all too nice. FWIW, down in the firmly integrated areas they use offensive words all the time. I guess one just needs street cred.

Pete

And I thought trolls just lived under bridges. Fancy that.

That's all right, Pete. You don't have to worry. ;)

For Lent, I'm trying to avoid insulting people. (Just started this morning). But I know I can make an exception for you, Pete, because, by insulting you, I am actually complementing your ability to take a joke. Now, try to find someone other than a lawyer who would write a sentence like that one. :eek:

Regards,

D-Ray

LMAO! Yous are killing me today. Best lawyer-line EVER!

By der vay, I sure as hell don't have enough 'cred' to, say, quote Jackie Chan talking to bartenders. At least to strangers. Unless I enjoy being beaten and shot.

Pete

I'm not sure that I will, but I think my sons might sometime live in post-racial America. Race relations are a matter that should be discussed, but sometimes it is difficult to get past the talking points. I'm not even sure what I mean by a post-racial America. I don't think any of us want a homogenous society. But sometimes it's hard to draw the line between celebrating diversity and denigrating differences. I wish I had more answers.

Regards,

D-Ray

I don't know either. It's obvious that (most) kids 'see' race differently than we (old timers?) do.

And we know race, or at least culture, makes a difference. The Asians and their faulty armour have a higher overall IQ than us pinkish pale people do.

I also see a good natured rivally down in the financially challenged areas. I'm uncertain that it's bad. It seems like a comradre thing.

Btw, I have a hard time believing you go around insulting people all the time. It's a great Lent issue. Wearing purple? ;)

Pete

I plant most of my insults here. But reason shall prevail!

Regards,

D-Ray

I can usually find all sorts of reasons for disliking people than the colour of their skin.

I will go with culture there. Asian students always study in groups helping each other. Most young students will have 2 older generations of support in their households too. At least around here they do.

Carl

Except teabagger, that's a term of endearment.

I did a search on the culture/race thing, the answer was not politically correct.

Pete

Well D-Ray,

One can say "DAMN", and another can say "DARN", and mean the same exact thing.

The word "CHINK" 1.  [chingk] noun 1. a crack, cleft, or fissure: a chink in a wall. 2. a narrow opening: a chink between two buildings.

Or if you have a mind that takes you to a derogatory word, that refers to a race or nationality of people, You must be a Liberal, here's your card !

"CRACKER" Cracker (food), a type of biscuit, usually salted or savory edible.

Or if you have a mind that takes you to a derogatory word, that refers to a race or nationality of people. You must be a Liberal, here's your card !

Now, many words have been given several meanings, some good, some bad, some just the opposite and some not relating at all to the original word !

But no matter how you look at the word, it is just a word. And you must provide YOUR definition, from your knowledge and prejudices and understanding of the word.

Can ALL of you be that prejudicially minded ? Or is it that you just look to find a problem that may or may not even exist ?

lliB: just a word spelled backward !

Right, we'll all be so much better off and our society so much more peaceful when we are free to go around spewing incendiary remarks and racist epitaphs.
I guess that's what clubs are for? So that when someone pisses you off with an insensitive comment, you can just bash them over the head. Then his boys will be around to shoot you and so on.......Then, we'll be so much closer to the much vaunted "Christain Family Values" we've all heard so much about.:confused:

Is that what Christ said at his trial? "Fuck you, Kike! I'll claim to be the son of God if I want and you can't stop me, you draedel spinning prick! One day we'll stuff all of your skinny asses into the ovens! Ha, ha!!!"?

Somehow, that just doesn't seem to fit.

Dave

Context, you brainwashed moron, context.

Dave

Is it permissible in your view to look at the context in which a word is used to determine the intent of the speaker? That is what I am trying to understand. From the context of your post, it did not appear that you were using the word to describe a crack or a fissure. Was it your intent to draw our attention to some structural anomaly or to the other use of the word?

Similarly, in a post criticizing the concern of some folks over the use of racially derogatory terms, you, with no other context, printed the word "Cracker." Were we to understand from your post that you were only referring to a baked product?

Part of our use of the language is to give words meaning according to the context in which they are used. This skill is particularly necessary when words can, as you have pointed out, have different meanings. Please explain, in the context of your posts, what meaning we should have drawn from your use of the particular words.

Regards,

D-Ray

He was a Jew too you know.

There's something to be said for speaking your mind. I think you know that already :cool:

Pete

Don, you are just shouting up a dead horse's arse for all the good "debating" with lliB does.

As long as the person doing it has one.:D

I'm afraid I'm going to have to bore you all to tears for the next 40 days of being nice. :cool:

Reason shall prevail!!

Regards,

D-Ray

Must... Not... Bait... D....

:D

Pete

But remember, you're exempt. :p You don't think I'm gonna let all of that double-talk go to waste, do ya?

Regards,

D-Ray

Hummm...Accept the diversity and celebrate the differences. :D

viva la difference.

Regards,

D-Ray

Shall we only celebrate and tolerate cultural and racial differences, or shall we also celebrate and tolerate diversity of thought and ideology and religion?

Sure. What are your ideas on promoting more diversity of thought, ideology and religion?

Regards,

D-Ray

Well, I think you're off to a good start with the 40 days of being nice. Might consider extending that to infinity. If we can't at least be civil with each other, there's fat chance of tolerating, much less celebrating our differences.

I thought Christ was the King of the Joos.
