R. Rich Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Listen Redneck, it was meant to be facetious, do you know what that means, Sorry I forgot the proper smiley face... I'm sure you know plenty of Eskimo jokes.. FOAD 77716[/snapback] Now you're doing exactly what I did. If it wasn't a joke, you appear to be quite hypocritical. If it was, then I find it amusing.

stevestojan Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Ya know what happens? Last week, we were all at each other's throats because we were 0-4 and generally pissed. I was just thinking to myself how peaceful the board is (minus BF in Indiana screaming about his damn Cards, by thats just fun stuff). Then we all come in here for some laughs, and people who have absolutly no sense of humor, nor any idea of the community of the board come in an ruin it. Good job. You ruined the fun. Congrats. By the way: I hate white people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 10:1 he had to use spell check on the word 'facetious'. 77719[/snapback] While he may know what the word means, he obviously has little clue on punctuation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobblehead Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Me Clueless? You are showing your ignorance. I just found out RR is a black man. So that makes it OK? When I read what he posted it made me sick. I live in one of the most racially divided cities in America. It is in the news every day; The R word is always brought up on every political or legal issue. I don't spend my life on this board posting 1000's of times a month, and I don't know or don't want to know the personal backgrounds. I found RR post out of line whether he is black, blue, yellow, red or republican. I cannot believe that the post is still out there. Just my thoughts... 77706[/snapback] Maybe you should consider moving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Campy Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I can appreciate MemphisJim's original point. And while I won't speak for Rich, I think by the olive branch he originally extended, he appreciates MemphisJim's opinion as well. The only thing I could add to those that are offended, please understand the context. Being of Scotch-Irish descent, it's not uncommon for me to bust a fellow Irishman or Scot's balls about being a drunk Mick or a "horny sheep-herder." It's done in the spirit of a laugh. A laugh at the stereotype as much as shock value. But all in good-natured fun. If one were to start slinging around the same words in a hateful, mean-spirited nature at me, I'd get a little pissed, but people like ICE (Scottish) and VABills (Irish) do it in a friendly way, and I can appreciate the humor in that. And that, to me anyway, is the difference between laughing at racial sterotypes, and truly harmful (and oftentimes vulgar) racial slurs. As a sidenote, what does it feel like to be offended? What is that? Personally, I think when some people say "I'm offended," what they really mean is "I find that vulgar or inappropriate." But offended? The only time I'd probably be offended if someone made rude and/or insensitive comments directed at my wife, my sister, or my deceased parents. And even then, I'd probably just roll my eyes and make a mental note on the character of the speaker. But offended? Naw, I don't think I can give someone that ignorant that much control over me- or my emotions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Great thread! I hate political correctness. People need to lighten up and have the ability to laugh at themselves and poke fun of one another. No excuse for ignorance but no excuse for political correctness either IMO. Seeing I am half Irish heres a few Irish jokes. What do every 4 Irish guys bring to golfing? A fifth Whats the difference between an Irish wedding and an Irish funeral? One less drunken Irish man How many Irish does it take to change a lightbulb? One, they hold the lightbulb then drink until the room spins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
