Leave Britney Alone!

Now, on to your off topic derailing. Are racial slurs offensive? I would imagine they can be. It all depends on context though. Just like everything else, the words themselves should never cause offense by themselves. The context in which they are used should be the deciding factor. Words are powerless....context gives words meaning.

Thanks. I have no plans on engaging with you on this issue because it's pointless. I just wanted to know what the parameters of your opinion were.

Same here. If you are so wrapped up in your legal rubbish and common sense alludes you to the point you can't graps how context is what gives words their power, then you are not worthy of my conversation.

[Sueven]

What the hell does this have to do with legal rubbish?

Perhaps he's just a transvestite, and most transvestites are straight...A transvestite told me that...An executive transvestite!

I really don't get why people have an issue with sexual orientation. It's the exact same thing as being a racist.

Every sexual orientation has their set of whackos. Grouping them all together shows nothing but ignorance. I don't see how anyone could have an issue with someone like George Takei (Mr Sulu) for example. After listening to his audio biography, read by himself, he's had a much more interesting life that 99% of us. What does it matter that he's gay, which he doesn't even mention in the book?

My aunt is gay. She had three husbands, all bad experiences. Has been with the same woman for 20 years now and loves her life. She's a smart, funny lady. It's insane to hate someone like that simply due to their sexual orientation.

Grow up people, and more importantly, teach your kids not to be racist assholes like yourselves. (and religion too! Don't forget to let them know that atheism is a legitimate choice)

[Nick]

Are people seriously trying to call Funk and Mid out for calling this moron a fag?

Like, obviously it doesn't matter what sexual orientation you happen to be, but have you losers really got nothing better to bitch and moan about?

Fag doesn't mean cigarette like in your country you fucking euro loser!

I know what it means yankie boy! Chris Crocker's entire schtick is being an "emofag". What a pointless derail.

Exactly.

Precisely.

And no sueven, I was not gay bashing. My negative comments about the guy had more to do with the fact that after watching his videos I don't find him worthy of breathing oxygen that other peole could be breathing. I just threw the second half of the word emofag in there because as I was typing the message, I remembered seeing that he had a video called "why i'm gay", which is like the embodiment of all that is emo and gay, so why not point it out?!?

[Sueven]

And no sueven, I was not gay bashing.

Is this pre-emptive? I don't recall saying that you were.

Since you've pulled me into the topic, I disagree with you. But that's not something I plan on arguing about here.

This was what I was responding to:

I'd like to point out, in pre-emptive response to your "that's not gaybashing" retort:

Yes it is.

My frustration was more with aslanna but i'm sick of wasting energy telling it what I think of it. I'm guessing you were more responding to midnyte, but I was the one that started it

[Aslanna]

My frustration was more with aslanna but i'm sick of wasting energy telling it what I think of it.

Not to mention I don't give a shit what you think about me. So it sounds like win-win to me. But I'm sure you'll waste more energy and tell me anyway at some point in the future. Glad I'm frustrating to you though. You on the other hand barely register on my irritation scale.

But I agree with Nick. It wasn't really needed to be pointed out what worthless human beings Funk and Midnyte are. Anyone who has been here more than a week can figure it out for themselves.


(And yes. Both of you were.)

[Nick]

I like to youtube a lot (I don't know how else to describe it). That twat would always clog up the "most viewed videos" with his inane poncy crap.

I like that youtube allows mental patients and losers like Chris Crocker and (the hilarious) Daxflame to get seen and heard, but I really got tired with this guys "OMG IM GAY DIDNT U KNOW I WAS GAY BTW IM GAY" thing.

It's fine for people to celebrate themselves, and make their point, but I never understood the popularity of the guy. It's good to see him being ridiculed for being the moron we all knew him to be ages ago. Gay people have just as much right to post their videos as everyone else, but theres hundreds of gay youtube video loggers who make better videos without having to rely on the shock value of androgeny and irrelevant popular culture bullshit to represent themselves.

I'm not against him perse, I just found him boring and repetitive as fuck. This has just been floating around the nether regions of the part of my mind reserved for mindless internet culture for a while, so I'm just spewing it out in a stream of thought irrelevant way. I couldn't give two flying shits who you fuck, what you think or what you look like, as long as you don't bore the everliving shit out of me.

[Aabidano]

"OMG IM GAY DIDNT U KNOW I WAS GAY BTW IM GAY"

I think this is what Mid and Funk were aiming at, it annoyed me when Fes and Drasta used to do it too. Yes you're gay, and? Next subject please.

Flaming emo fag is both a description and a general insult, yes it's being derogatory towards gays but not really gay bashing IMO as it's directed at one person. Kind of like a racist statement vs. racism.

Well put sir, that's pretty spot on. I have no issue with people being gay, but I don't want it thrown in my face constantly. I would be just as annoyed if someone was constantly telling me how straight/black/white/etc they are.

Haven't used french in about 13 years now, but that makes little sense to me. Is that some sort of colloquialism? I'm missing the point otherwise. "Does he know a monkey on the branch?"

That's exactly what it says. It's not a colloquialism, but it is entirely relevant to Arb's comment. So is "Le chat est sur la chaise," but only when dressed to kill.

[Sargeras]

I really hate the media for glorifying the wrong people.

If you don't speak French, by the way, all that was fucking funny!

This thread should be in the Music forum.

No it shouldn't.
