Yet you constantly keep asking me to prove that racism is bad and racial slurs are bad. If you don't like me calling you a racist, you can feel free not to say anything, or better yet go to another forum.

Easy, go back to the beginning of this thread. It started off as a fairly civil discussion. Then people started with the racial 'jokes' or slurs or whatever and it kept getting worse. Finally they cracked down on it and the discussion got back to something we could work with. But ask yourself...

Never having seen it, it does sound like it uses racial stereotypes. However, not all racial statements are serious. They can be joking and that is clearly satire and a comedy. I am not joyless and mocking racism and stereotypes can be a good thing. To take another example, I don't like it...

I am not going to attempt to prove to you that racism is bad. I am a math major, so I consider racism being bad as one of the axioms of my life. It is one of the premises I use when trying to come to a decision about other things. I was taught this by my mother. I am sorry your parents didn't...

Dude, you put the man on ignore and STILL respond to all his posts. Also, while you are one of the posters I like the most on these forums, you have completely gone off the deep end with Tanoomba. Hell, I was saying exactly what he was saying in regards to the negative effects of slurs and you...

It is so bizarre that Tanoomba has managed to drive Hodj mad. Hodj lambasted Lumie until he gave up. Then he took on Mikhail and outlasted him, in fact we haven't seen much of Mikhail since that went down. Yet over this, Hodj has been not only defeated but has been driven insane. Bad...

Sure, this is just the internet. Maybe in the real world you are an outstanding citizen and rescue families from flipped over vehicles. However, in this world of the internet, you claim to be a racist, you think racism isn't bad and you make racial slurs. So in this world, I think I am justified...

I tend to think that if someone is going to say "Niggs gonna Kang" or "Fuckin blacks. Amirite guys" or "Oshi here comes another Chimpout" that those people are racist baring me knowing some other thing about their history. I mean, why wouldn't I? I would never say that shit myself because they...

Chaos, if someone says "Kangs gonna Kang" and "Fuckin blacks. Amirite, guys?" shouldn't the default assumption be that its a racist statement?

No bro, I am not going to try and prove to you that racism is bad. Sorry, that was your parents job.

Wow, you backtracked quick. You say one post earlier that you presented plenty of "goddamn evidence", now suddenly the proof is on me to show that blatant racism spreads racism? Seriously?

Nothing was presented to show that racial slurs don't perpetuate racism. Unless you consider linking tothis imageas proof of something.

Trollface just has really low standards. For most people, saying "people using racial slurs are bad" is just what you would expect from normal behavior. For Trollface, that means the person must be perfect and good.

Groups advocating lower taxes aren't advocating violating the tax code. Also, whether or not the IRS was ordered by the executive to do it doesn't change the fact that the IRS targeted groups based on politics. It would be a bigger scandal if the executive ordered it, but is still a scandal...

Well sure, obviously the heavy crime statistics in the black community feed the stereotypes and it is a huge problem. However, that doesn't mean that casual use of racial slurs isn't a problem also. I am not making the argument that racial slurs are the only problem or even the most important...

It isn't a "study", it is actually what happened. If looking at that data, you still don't think that the IRS was doing some fucked up shit, probably nothing will convince you so have a good day.

Yep, it sure does. Unfortunately, so does religion, politicians, the media, etc. If more people listened to scientists and less to politicians and religious figures we would be in a much better place.

What is really too fucking bad is you can't understand how racist slurs perpetuate racism.

Scientists don't have nearly enough influence and your thesis that scientists are the core of all problems is deeply disturbing. Are YOU fucking high?

That is pretty much your core philosophy isn't it? You think that scientists created racism in the 19th century? I mean, do you realize how fucking stupid that sounds? As if racism didn't exist before then? Of course, that is par for the course with you. You linked to the Pandora's Box...

Pardon me for interrupting the cheering at Tanoomba getting RPPed for an hour, but seriously? Saying that "Kangs gonna Kang" is racism is fucking self-evident. One of the persistent issues with this thread was how we would be having a rationale discussion of the case and then we would have some...

Just picked up the audiobook, will be listening to it.

I don't really have much to say about the silly article, but the "15 things the Gun Industry won't admit' after the article are all pretty laughable. The absolutely silly one of course is the claim that the "gun industry profits off tragedy". The reason gun sales went up was because of the...

I just wish Harlequin didn't suck so much. He was the worst character in my party for the final fights. I expected more from him

I hope they release content where we can create our whole party. Playing through again using primarily assault rifles and it is quite easy but I still wish I had a decent mage for CC or AoE. Everyone mentions this one mage that is good but I have yet to see her come up on either list.

Exactly my feelings also. I couldn't believe that people actually thought he was legit dead. It was one of the silliest fake cliffhangers ever and if I had been a reviewer would have cost a lot of the review score just by itself. Ending entire storyarcs with silly fake cliffhangers all over FFC...

I think I would spend the day with just myself and my dog on my fathers farm. I wouldn't want to spend that last day with people sad that I was dying. I would want to just be utterly relaxed the entire day. Then at the end, take my dog to my mothers house and give him to her and say my last...

As an old GM of pnp Shadowrun back when it came out, I fucking hated deckers. The concept of deckers is cool, but trying to implement having someone else do a mission somewhat separated from everyone else was just a bitch to do. The people not decking would be bored as fuck while the decker did...

After beating the game, feel a bit better about mages. Petrify and Confusion were really cool. Going to replay as a custom character focusing on guns and cyberware. Not sure if Im going to go shotgun or rifle to start though.

I don't think you are qualified to say if he is crazy or not. Hopefully Hodj will let us know though.

Are mages just weak in this game or do they get stronger later? My main character is a mage and I usually feel like he is one of the weakest in the party. I have 8/8 atm in his primary stats but my spells don't seem to do alot of damage. Everyonce in awhile Ill get a nice manaball off that by...

You are embarrassingly wrong here. Lots of great movies are serious in parts and also campy.

So apparently Peruvian-americans hate black people.

This guy did abunch of good videos on Zimmerman, came out with this yesterday...

Mikhail and Tanoomba are pretty much nothing alike. Don't be rude.

Holy shit at that Lifeline Expedition pictures. I didn't know that shit existed, I assumed it was a parody. http://www.lifelineexpedition.co.uk/content/view/24/66/

Hey asshole, not all teachers are the same. Oh shit, wait, I am mostly agreeing with Tanoomba... Damn you stereotypes!!

Hey jerkface, lets not turn this thread into an examination of my racism lol.

I was always taught by my mother never to judge people by the color of their skin or the way they talked. I thought I had internalized that when growing up. Yet I remember my first interaction with my friend Clarke, a black guy I met in the Navy. He walked up to me sitting in front of a...

I really don't get how you can say this. It is very easy in Demon Souls to farm a shitload of lowlvl grass. If anything I would say Dark Souls is where you have to worry about taking occasional damage while progressing from a fire to a boss.
