Speaking of catching the Ghay

[Meat Shake]

"What sense does it make to say because you were made fun of for something that it's ok to make fun of other people? I'd sure like to hear something reasonable on this since it seems to be a popular defense"

Its saying that I dont give a flying f*ck what people say to me. Unless you personally know me, what is said to me doesnt really hold that much on my day. Its sarcasm, or a joke, or whatever. Or just some ignorant fool talking sh!t to me on the internet. I do respect a lot of folks on here, and dont want to hurt or offend anyone, but if someone says something I dont like on here, Im not thinking about it at the end of my day. KL has said it before, you need a thick skin to browse the boards.

"no, it's not ok meat shake, I thought you didn't want to have this conversation?"

F*ck it, its too late. Just keep it civil and we'll have it.

this isn't about you meat shake, thats fine, say what you want to say about how you feel about it, that still doesn't give you the right. I don't make fun of native americans or white people and I don't associate with my father anymore because white people and for some odd reason asian people aren't good enough for him. I'm still sort of curious how he feels about me being part white.
Regardless, I have a thick skin, you can say plenty to me as well before you will catch my ire but it doesn't mean I am not going to speak up about ignorance when I see it. I've just spent 4 weeks working with a crew of back country fireman I'd have loved to slap around, and everytime something came out of their mouth I didn't like you can bet I said something. I don't dislike them, heck I even pretty much get a long with them, but I don't like to see it and I don't like to hear it and you shouldn't either.

I know gay people, and I have made fun of them for being gay. They make fun of me for not getting laid in a couple weeks. No one gets hurt.
Friends of other races I joke with, make fun of me for being white (to their knowledge). Again, its understood that its joking, which between the joking parties, does make it ok. When it gets to the point of mindless racism however, I see the problem. But it doesnt get to that point, and Ive almost gotten in a fights before for people using words they shouldn't have to a black friend. IMO as long as its understood as a joke there shouldnt be a problem. Lots of things are said that would be hurtful if not understood as a joke, but that understanding makes it acceptable. Everyone knows my intentions on here, so I dont expect people to take me seriously when reading my posts.
I completely forgot where I was going with this and I really gotta crap. Be back in a minute.

he sure told you.

[Meat Shake]

lofl.
You just stay in the corner where you belong or Ill gouge out your eyes with a dull spork.

[Starchaser107]

actually I've had this arguement recently.

Does anybody think the term "Batty man" is offensive in reference to gays?

Some people are under the impression that gays/battymen would prefer to be refered to as H0mosexuals.

Personally I think a spade is a spade and a battyman is just a battyman and i mean that with no offense its just what it is.

meat shake, I might ,MIGHT, agree that it might be ok if you are with freinds, in a closed environment, maybe. It's offensive and its be-littling, and regardless of how ok you think it might be in any given situation, I don't agree.

[Starchaser107]

"You just stay in the corner where you belong or Ill gouge out your eyes with a dull spork."

now that's just Ghey.

[Meat Shake]

"I don't agree."
Aha! So no one is right!
I love it when Im not wrong.


But FWIW, I do hate racists. Joking is one thing, but when it goes past sarcasm, we got issues...

[Starchaser107]

yeah uhm ok, but what do you think about the "Battyman" thing?

[Meat Shake]

The only thing that offends me is when people pinch out of my stash without asking.

[red5angel]

meat shake, I'm not calling anyone racist. Everyone has their thing, all I am saying is that it's not right to make light of anothers differences, I feel strongly about this. There is no reason for it, ever, and it's never necessary.

[Meat Shake]

" all I am saying is that it's not right to make light of anothers differences"

*coughshaolin-doargumentscough*

Edit: just playin devils advocate now

[red5angel]

if you can find me making fun of shaolin do on any of those threads then I owe you an apology but I am pretty sure my only stance has been that someone in the organization is full of **** about their history.
