Okay that made me laugh SO hard. I'm not sure which was funnier...the part where he called you a "honkie", or the part where he believes in free speech but-theres-a-line. Either way, I had to crack up. That was great.

Hi mybitchinblog, Thanks for dropping by and giving me a pat Boo.

 

Thanks, I'm glad that it gave you a good chuckle Boo.

yes there is a line when it comes to free speech, its called common decency and respect towards others different than you. thats the problem with the world these days is that nobody respects each other anymore. there's enough hate and animosity to go around without having to bring racism into the picture.

we all know that word is a hot button for everyone. look at the recent events with Don Imus and "Dog" the bounty hunter. hell even O.J got acquitted because Mark Furhman used the word and his credibility was out the window. People are in an uproar with that word. it represents a very dark time in our nations history (quickly getting over shadowed by this administrations mess ups). People want to move on and forget about that word altogether. Look at what Germany did with the swastika, its illegal in any form and is a jailable offense.

ever hear of slander? defamation of character? these are things to help prevent  free speech from going too far. hypothetical situation: say you're black and the teach calls your son/daughter the n-word. would you be upset?

so yes there is a line in free speech. i think we all forget about that till something like this or Imus etc happens.

 Hi clintsilver, Thanks for dropping in and giving me a pat Boo.

 

Sorry Boo, but I have to differ with you on that line thingy. You either have free speech or you don't.

 

Me and several of my friends heard what Mr. Imus said, and we got a dammed good chuckle out of it too... because we took his entire remark 'IN' context... can you even tell me the part of his remark that was left out of all that big hurrah?

 

As for that football player, it was a lot more than just one man saying nigger that helped him get away with murder.

 

As for Dog... watch the O'Riley Factor, I think, because Dogs supposed to be on that program and he's got something to put out that people haven't heard where that tape is concerned.

 

What Germany did with all things Nazi is neither here nor there, and people could care less about the word nigger, however, ALL racists, no matter their skin color, seem to foam at the mouth over the word.

 

Have I ever heard of Slander or Defamation of Character? Sure I have.

 

So... with that in mind, WHY is the Press, and the National news media able to get away with all of the slanderous and defaming things that they say about Bush?

 

WHY was that bastardized congressman John Murtha able to get away with his slander and defamation of those United States Marines the way that he did... Standing up on national TV, declaring that there WAS NO FIRE FIGHT, and CONDEMNING THOSE MEN AS MURDERERS the way that he did?

 

They have since been vindicated yet that worthless, double chinned, coke snorting bastard *JMHO* won't even apologize to them for what he did.

 

What about that flat faced French looking fucker of female dogs *JMHO* John Kerry... that silly bastard has been spouting erroneous shit for over two decades, slandering, and defaming the fuck out of hundreds of people.

 

So what's that you say about limiting free speech from going too far?

 

As for that teach thingy... I have to ask "what lead up to the teach calling my fucking little brat a nigger?"

 

Tell me Boo, when those two mother-fucking faggots invaded that catholic church out in california... do you think that their civil rights or freedom of speech rights would have been infringed upon had the congregation of that church set upon those un-godly bastards, beat the mother-fuckers to a bloody pulp and then forcefully ejected their limp, bloody bodies out the front door?

 

I don't, but then hey, that's just me Boo.     

 

♥Wendy

To answer the last 2 questions: So that pissant trolls could get their bloomers in a bunch over free speech!

 

Damn Gal...

When'd you go and change races on us?

Musta been all that time you spent North of the M-D Line this past year! 

Hi rv1501, Thanks for dropping by and giving me a pat Boo.

 

Pissant trolls huh? Where'd you come up with that one Boo? You mean change to a honky Boo... I don't know. I've always been told that I was light-n-bright and had good hair... maybe I bleached out a bit from staying inside too much... or it could be all that white bread I've been eating.   

 

♥Wendy

If you spend any amount of time in a Civil Service position you learn all about pissants and if you spend any time among the newsgroups you learn about trolls.

Damn, if that's the case, then I should be getting a whole lot darker from eating all the pumpernickel rye bread (often referred to as black bread) that I do!

Hi rv1501,Thanks for slipping in and giving me a pat Boo.

 

I don't know if your meaning of pissant is the same meaning that it has around here. I remember one of the guys that I dated saying "we had to pissant thirty sacks of gel all the way across the mud room because the forklift was broken."

 

Meaning that they had had to carry those suckers by hand. *giggling my ass off* then you had better balance all of that pumpernickle with some wonder bread or you just might start getting a few shades darker Boo.

 

♥Wendy

Well, there you go... a cornfusion of the language...  pissant... either the actual critter or a small, insignificant, not important person.

Hi rv1501,Thanks for slipping in and giving me a pat Boo.

 

True that. Isn't the American version of the English language a marvelous thing? I mean just look at we have just used the word 'pissant'. I'm almost afraid to look it up to see what it really means.

 

Shoot, my spell checker keeps wanting to change the spelling to 'puissant'... which would be correct if we were only talking about the ant given the little critters strength.

 

♥Wendy

Wow, so when did you transform into another race?

Hi CallmeRoger, Thanks for dropping by and giving me a pat Boo.

 

I donno... I guess it happened while I was eating all that white bread over on Clintsilvers blog.  

 

♥Wendy

Hi Wendy,

Ah!  *hands you fried chicken for recovery*  lol j/k

Hi CallmeRoger,Thanks for slipping in and giving me a pat Boo.

 

Thanks *takes fried chicken and passes slice of watermelon* I was hoping for something good to eat Boo.

 

♥Wendy

Not a problem!
*takes the slice of watermelon*
*hands wendy a glass of Kool-Aid*
Want some white gravy with your chicken?

Hi CallmeRoger,Thanks for slipping in and giving me a pat Boo.

 

Thanks for bringing white gravy Boo. *takes the Kool-Aid and passes the deep fried biscuits*

 

♥Wendy

come on this is a party, lets crack open some Thunderbird and Cult45 and throw me a slice of chicken, the thigh if you please (tastes great between 2 slices of wonder bread haha). you want some collard greens too? 

Hi clintsilver,Thanks for slipping in and giving me a pat Boo.

 

I prefer Night Train and Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull in the Blue can. A thigh huh? I kinda figured you to be one who would go for 'dark meat'... I'm kinda partial to wings myself.

 

Oh, and those slices of bread should be Roman Meal cause me and Roger don't wanna be changing color here.

 

I'll take some of those collards but don't plop any of that fatback in my bowl Boo, that shit taste ugly in my mouth. 

 

♥Wendy

Eek! What are they doing to me!

Whoa, *looks around* what did I do? 

I heard, slices of watermelon, and noticed half my ass was missing >.<

HA!  It tastes gooooooood! *slurps*

>.<

I'm not into racism, it's not like I like the word "nigger" or would apply it to other people but I'll die for the right everyone has to say it.
Words are only as offensive as you let them become

Hi kamikazemelon, Thanks for dropping by and giving me a pat Boo.

 

I'm not into racism either, but whenever my friends and I are talking we call each other nigger, so why the hell should I be ashamed to say it in mixed company?  

 

♥Wendy

The Clintsilver guy - 2 words. Sheltered Childhood.

Hi kamikazemelon,Thanks for slipping in and giving me a pat Boo.

 

Hum...? Well that could be, but it is of little consequence now as we have worked through our difficulties and I believe that each of us have emerged unscathed. Check out the new title for this post on my blog. 

♥Wendy

Haha, nice turnaround. I guess drama and mindsay have been shown from many previous experiments, not too get along all that well. I'll see if I can find your exact exchange somewhere.

Hi kamikazemelon, Thanks for slipping it to me and giving me a pat in the process Boo.

 

Thanks, yeah sometimes talking actually works, I don't think the original exchange is findable, it was deleted and I don't think Google crawls these replies. 

 

♥Wendy

not sheltered, i live in a place thats mostly Indian and Asian. whites are the minority if you can believe that, not many Americans of African decent here so we don't here the word all too often.

Hi clintsilver,Thanks for slipping in and giving me a pat Boo.

 

It does seem strange when you get into a community like that doesn't it? You are talking about Indians from India right?

 

*giggling so hard that I'm pissing myself* I see that you're using code for the 'N' word now Boo.

 

♥Wendy

yeah Indians from India. i couldn't begin to pronounce their last name.

as far as using code, you better believe it no stranglings happening here. i'm a quick learner. could've used the 'AA' word haha

Hi clintsilver, Thanks for slipping it to me and giving me a pat in the process Boo.

 

Yeah, most of the people from over there have names that are like that.

 

hum? well 'AA' would have caused me to run grab my bottle of JD and stash it away...political correctness sucks!

 

♥Wendy

I read the exchange on this entry, I'd like to bow and look very humble and make an apology directly to you for what I said Mr. Clintsilver.

hey no problem, don't even worry about it. things just a little out of hand but with intelligent responses we all ironed out the problem. now things are A-Ok

thanks for the apology, that wasn't necessary. gives me some hope that there are more decent people here. thank you once again.

Awesome

I think we should say whatever words we want, and when I see "the N-word" instead of "nigger", it bothers me.  Last night I asked my wife to use the word "fuck" in the good sense, and when she did so, it was quite the turn-on.

 

Having said that, I think it's odd that there are no really offensive words against whites.  Honky, cracker, come on, those wimpy words aren't nearly as "hot button" as nigger.   Maybe if whites (yes, I am white) had a word that upset them as much as "nigger" upsets some blacks, we could understand their point of view better.

Maybe we're just harder to offend?

---

What irks me about people saying things like "eff you" or "the F word," we know exactly what to fill the blank in with, so why not just say it?

 Hi SaikotikGunman, Thanks for dropping in and giving me a pat Boo.

 

That could be Boo, hey let me know if you come up with anything that's supposed to be insulting to white beople... other than maybe calling them French, and I'll try it on some of my friends to see if it works.  

 

♥Wendy

Hi decisiontime, Thanks for dropping by and giving me a pat Boo.

 

Hey, what about "Red Neck" does that count? I don't know why nigger has to be a hot button issue. Probably because Arabs like the not so Reverend Jessy Jackson and the phony Reverend Al Sharpton figure they're getting political points from keeping racism alive and well in the USA.  

 

♥Wendy

I'm not from the South, so the term "Red Neck" does push my button, but I'm sure that some people get upset if they are called Red Necks.    So sure, that counts.

Hi decisiontime, Thanks for slipping it to me and giving me a pat in the process Boo.

 

Shit, most of the 'honkies' that I know kind of relish the title 'Red Neck'...silly bunch of crackers umm did I miss any good insults?

 

♥Wendy

We should invent some new insult words, I still say that the ones out there aren't that bad.  Maybe I'm numb to it all, due to the existing words' overuse, maybe.

Hi decisiontime, Thanks for slipping it to me and giving me a pat in the process Boo.

 

I'm with you on that, lets contact Websters and get them involved in this, I mean words are their business...right?

 

♥Wendy

Yeah, we should ask Webster to come up with a word which means "white man with a small penis".  Having seen some vicious arguments, including on Mindsay, I've come to the conclusion that with white men anyway, saying that they have a small penis upsets them as much as the N word upsets some black men.  At least then it would be an even playing field, there would be a word that makes whites furious.

 

Because like I said, "cracker" doesn't upset me whatsoever.  It's like "Cracker?  Ouchies!  Wow, what a wimpy insult!  I'm going to start crying now!"  But if someone call me a Pinkie-Penis, then that hurts a lot more and is quite racist against whites.  Not that I want people to insult me.  This is a complex point that I'm trying to make here, I hope I'm not confusing people.

Hi decisiontime, Thanks for slipping in and giving me a pat Boo.

 

umm... I call em 'little pencil dick fuckers'
