That'll teach that woman to sit down. + Show Spoiler + racist and sexist at the same time. Holy Christ Klogon, I just died laughing. Anyway, this thread is stupid... I mean there isn't much more to say. It's just a flame bait thread that'll end up going no where fast. | ||

If he wants to use some specific lingo with his friends while they are out, he has all the rights in the world to do so. It will perhaps reveal some parts about his attitutes towards the other gender, but if he considers it nifty as a "ease of use" thing, he can use it with his buddies all he wants. But TL.net is a public place. Everyone can read it. It has rules. And substituting "women" with "pussies" is every bit as malicious as a substitution can be (read above). This is not a matter of personal interpretation but a culturally wide-spread stereotype that is real. Please clarify "amusing." I think you mean the word not in a good way, but I want to be sure in this topic. Also, fgsvsd, come on. All of the replies since your post have been right. Most people have one, but that particular organ is undesirable; thus it's clearly a derogatory term when in colloquial use. I think Kalynn's previous posts revealed intelligence, especially the one where she reasoned why she answered as to her gender. Edit: Linguistics probably isn't the right word...Hrm. Re-worked the sentence. | ||

If you're not a troll and can't tell the difference between the obvious troll posts here, stick to the starcraft forums. General and blogs have nothing to do with starcraft. You're either a troll or you're very new to the internet. | ||

In all seriousness, I think we all need to learn that "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me". Now, I'm not advocating apathy toward things we don't approve of and just taking it, but one shouldn't let it hinder our happiness,etc. In english class my teacher handed out a packet talking about Epictetus (I found it very interesting, I would quote his philosophy but I'm not at home ATM). Here are two of his quotes I found on Wiki: We are disturbed not by events, but by the views which we take of them. I must die. Must I then die lamenting? I must be put in chains. Must I then also lament? I must go into exile. Does any man then hinder me from going with smiles and cheerfulness and contentment? I remember watching a video talking about African American students reading Huckleberry Finn and when they were interviewed most of them had a problem with the word "nigger" used in the book. In fact a mother of one of the students brought it to the teacher who required the reading (who also happened to be African American I believe) and to the school district to get the book removed from the required reading list. I found it absolutely ridiculous. Why is it so bad to read a word? I know, I know, it has a lot of negative history and depth behind it but COME ON. It's just a WORD. If I heard someone say the word "chink" or any other derogatory phrase toward asians, I wouldn't LIKE the person but most of the time people aren't even being serious, so I don't take it seriously. Words are NOT serious business (especially not those on the internet). | ||

Are you denying the problem exists (even though it was demonstrated in this very thread)? Would you agree to racial attacks towards an individual if he claimed he was offended by some racial posts here? | ||

Why even put it in the commandments if there's not going to be anyone following it? So I can ban you and use that as an excuse. I actually have finals so I don't know why I'm here. Um I'm just going to close this, and if a mod want to reopen after reading more into it, feel free. I think this thread is already shit from what I've seen. or at least feedback forum. Move it to closed if you wish. | ||
