Why the fuss?

Because our society is idioticly sensitive towards race. Instead of ignoring it and thus acting as "one" we seperate ourselves into little 'minority' groups and are 'proud' of our 'origins'. Because we are so idioticly proud of our race and see it as defining 'who we are', people take those insults very seriously. I bet a woman would find a racial slur more offensive than 'cunt'...so for maximum effect intergrate the two..

That's not always the case. I know of plenty of black people that can't STAND it when other blacks call each other the "N" word. But, it seems to be a difference when a black guy is talking about his "niggas" (homeys) as opposed to a non-black person calling me a goddamned dirty "nigger".

I would say that it would depend on the person, the situation, and how things are said.

God Damn Right It does. Or any other time, for that matter. You have the right to be offended. I have the right to not give a shit. You have the right to retaliate in kind. You do not have the right to escalate without consequences. That's the way the world works:p

I cut off his head. Well only in the picture. They said they were arresting him for hit&run but I think it was protective custody.

yeah - I guess. I'm not really part mexican - I just wanted to throw in a fuck you in there somewhere. I have to drive by this corner where niggers sell drugs and stand in the street giving me hard looks all the time. What a convenient label huh? I am with FNF on the race issue - most of these racially proud people don't even know what their heritage means, and are just looking for a way to differentiate themselves.

As for the whole kill your baby thing - sure, had my mom been a stupid irresponsible fuckoff, I would rather not exist to carry on the traits. My mother had one abortion after I was born, and thusly I am an only child. I think it sucks that I have no siblings, but the situation merited her choice, and I respect her for being able to make it. Jast as I would respect anyone else with the wisdom to realize that a child is not appropriate in their lives at the moment for whatever reason. So I say again - coat hanger anyone?

Power, colonialism, and injustice. And I'll toss in misogyny, bitch.

And thanks Elsp. I'm flattered to be taken for Dagney. She hits nails on their heads when I'm all thumbs.

The car he was driving is supposedly insured but trying to determine if he had permission to drive it is tricky. So between two insurance companies, the police and little or no English speaking parties it's a fustercluck. Welcome to the Cellar, blue.

Free advice- Before you confront some stranger, do a quick mental checklist of possible reactions and EXACTLY how far you are willing to go to make your point.

No, really I'm trying to caution people to think before start because you might be pushing someone like me. You can lead me most anywhere but if you push it doesn't matter how trivial the reason. I'll be all over you before you can think about whether you want to pursue it or not. You'll have no choice.
and it made sense again.....

Right Jim. As I started pursuit I was doing a mental checklist of how far I would go with this. I decided he would not win.

Bruce, your a machine

Dont you ever get frightened at just who your going after.. what if they too had decided that YOU will not win. i heard about a wedding not too long ago where a fight broke out over a parking spot and it ended up with the "toughman" being hacked in the back with the "passive" mans tommohawk. you never know who is going to be behind the wheel of the other car, didnt you worry this young man might have been armed or even equally if not more phyco and assured than you?

I take it that the Aussie govt will soon begin the registration and confiscation of all tomahawks and will work their way down to butter knives now? (for the good of the children, of course)

If you continue calling tacos spics, beaners, and wetbacks I'm gonna start another "Your words are making me uncomfortable, I'm quiting this mean place" thread. disclaimer- griff is not a fan of the Redskins, the Braves, the Conquistadors etc... but would be pleased to find some Fightin Whiteys gear under the tree this Christmas

I thought "Spics" means P. Rican and "beaners" are Mexican?

Determined doesn't mean stupid. There's a difference between a kamikaze and a matador. The matador doesn't always win but he doesn't quit. For all the times someone damaged my property when I wasn't around, this time I was. As of yesterday afternoon he was still in jail.

I've never heard a Mexican called a "beaner" before...seriously. I have heard of "Spic" referring primarily to Puerto Ricans, but back home, it's a blanket term used to refer to all Latinos.

Well, I'd be glad to change my post to whatever word this cocksucker finds most offensive.
