Firestarter Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 Here's a hint, kids: some words shouldn't be said on these forums. Oh? Well, here's a hint for you, Tom: you can't say that.
Highland Posted February 16, 2004 Author Report Posted February 16, 2004 I am very thankful that New York doesn't dictate what words me be part of the English language. Another example of the dangers of excessive political correctness.
Guest MikeSC Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 I am very thankful that New York doesn't dictate what words me be part of the English language. Another example of the dangers of excessive political correctness. Some district in TN is doing away with the honor roll, simply to avoid offending underachieving kids. Yeah, THAT will encourage achievement. -=Mike
Highland Posted February 16, 2004 Author Report Posted February 16, 2004 Why not repeal the cloning ban? It sounds like any individuality at all is offensive to these people.
Jobber of the Week Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 But I wouldn't call Ghetto's comment "hysterical". An insult to comedy. -=Mike Almost anything is funny compared to slavery. Almost.
Hogan Made Wrestling Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 The only thing liberal about Canada's federal Liberal Party is the use of the word in the marquee. Paul Martin is more economically conservative than George Bush, for instance, although less socially conservative (at least in the traditional sense of conservative, and not this neo-liberal conservatism that seems to be replacing it). The Liberal Party is all about pork-barrel politics, big money on Bay Street (basically Canada's version of Wall Street), and typical centralist "our policy is whatever will get us elected" strategies.
Guest Ray Posted February 16, 2004 Report Posted February 16, 2004 Here's a hint, kids: some words shouldn't be said on these forums. I don't see any rule against simply using the word...
Firestarter Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 That's nice. Oooh... substantive. Chickenshit.
Dr. Tom Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 Fuck off. There were plenty of ways for him to make a joke without bringing "nigger" into it. People do it all the time on this board, so it can't be that bloody difficult. I made the decision and I'm sticking to it. Besides, it was only a two-day suspension. It's not like I banned the fellow. I guessed his use was meant in jest, but tasteless humor is still tasteless. That opinionjournal.com article was a good one, though.
CanadianChris Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 Onto more important news regarding my home and native land; does anyone have an idea of who the frontrunner is regarding the Prime Minister hopeful for the Conservatives? I can't see anyone but Stephen Harper winning the Conservative Party leadership. Being someone who works in government and has a fair understanding of how these things work, this is a prime example of the media trying to stir up shit on a slow news day. The Auditor General's reporty pretty much said that the merits of the programs funded weren't in question, just that the government broke a few rules in getting them funded. Anyone who's worked in government knows that sometimes you have to take the long way around to get to where you want to go with money. A few wrists will be slapped, but nothing major is going to come out of this, and the Liberals will come out of it with their majority government, as they would have before.
Guest Ghettoman Posted February 17, 2004 Report Posted February 17, 2004 Eh weak sauce. I didn't call anyone a nigger, I didn't attempt to offend anyone, nor does it look like I did. I was simply stating a point through character display, not my character, but a character. You guys need to be a little more clearly defined on that whole garbage. And suspension? God thats annoying, if you don't want me around, ban me, if what I said was so wrong it had to be reprimanded, get rid of me so it's sure to never happened again. The suspension almost confirms that the punishment was unneeded and stupid.
