And then there are mother****ers like you who say "**** black people. I don't give a **** if they are offended. And I don't care if I look racist because I'm a smart guy and **** blacks anyway. I may even increase my use of the word "thug" so I can complain when people call me a racist! Plus **** blacks."

The fact that you *******s would rather whine about not getting to talk like racists than consider the feelings of your fellow human beings in not in the least bit a surprising revelation.

So you consider the feelings of your fellow human beings and won't use thug, but using mother****ers and *******s in your public service announcement undermines your point.

I am not against calling out mother****ers and *******s. Once you start whining, I think it's clear where you stand.

BTW, just to be clear, I don't think anyone here actually has intercourse with the person that birthed him.

Going to need a dictionary check on the word whining. May want to use an encyclopedia as well.

Its fun to take the piss out of Australians whinging about the whinging poms.

but 13ball's whining about whiners is so ridiculous that there's not much fun to be had.

For people opposed to the word police you guys sure do complain about words a lot.

RIP MCA

I am aware. It was a throwback joke based on Zikzak saying something about the 60's and 90's.

This particular rhyme was from the early 1990s.

No complaint about your words was going on by me but in any case I'm far from opposed to the word police.

Here it was quite a nasty derogatory term and I don't think it was a close call to put it on the PC list. Not that I've studied it of course, just my considered view from the time. I can easily imagine in the USA it was more benign.

Word expertise requires a measure of both flexibility and firmness.

Political language is a more advanced topic because most people get their oil changed in the shop when it might take just a bit longer to do at home for around the same cost. Understanding why the oil needs changed is a common variable that can be shared.

I just learned how to change oil- excuse the analogy.

I grew up with Hip Hop role models and did not lose many in adulthood practicing to be a rapper. This is why I was keenly interested in JohnnyCrash's ideas and want to stay in connection.

The Beasties have been top rap teachers for my own amateur practice of the art. I'll never forget the time my room mate came home to a party with Mario C and Ricky Powell when the Beasties were in town for a show. He got us all free to tickets for the next night's sold out event. BooYah!

One way to annoy Australians is to act like there is no difference between them and Kiwis when it comes to sheep-fornicating tendencies.

I tried to break dance in 1982. No one could tell that was what I was doing. I think someone called the school nurse and said that I was having some sort of spastic response to the beat. It was somewhat traumatic.

In all honesty, mine too. When 80% of your content is just escalating feuds, it doesn't seem that valuable to keep around.

Trolls win, adults need baby sitters or prejudice people yell at others to take responsibility.

Could just exile fly and let people smack talk more casually.

in a mostly unmoderated environment, i think trolls do usually win, unfortunately, and adults do need babysitters. and, finally, if a household's worth can measured by the presence or absence of a single fly, i don't think it's a house i want to visit.
