Worse than cursing

[miko2d]

 J_A_B,
 Consider my purely practical point. I want to attract some new players and I know that they would prefer not to see some of the speech that is acceptable for you.
 Even when giving a demo to my friends, I can only .squelch someone after we see the crap from that player in the buffer.
 And the option to leave is not really an option for HTC/players because it leaves one pilot fewer in the arena and $360/year less for HTC.

 Why should HTC and I personally suffer for your "free speech" by losing players?
 What about children? You want to say whatever you want but HTC wants their money too and many parents would not allow their children to play if they see certain things in the buffer.
 It may not be fair, but that is a fact of life. Those people may be wrong.
 I do not care - as long as they man the arena and bring money to HTC, I want them in, not out.
 A "whiny little kid" and you are equally valuable - exactly $30/mo. Now, if he can bring five of his friends and you can drive a single customer out - there is no question who should be given a swift kick...

JAB - I agree with one thing you say, people who have to buy a wife, because they are so socially inept that they can't pull a bird (no matter how minging, and there are alot of women who fit into that category), ARE funny.

And it ain't in the 'ha ha ha' variety...

Objecting to what those guys were talking about is not political correctness, its just showing respect for people of different nationalities. It also shows awareness of the fact that some things might be taken in a different way by other cultures.

From what you say, racism is acceptable, since people who object to it 'political correctionists'. Bet you got some good jokes of that ilk, eh? If you are not a racist, then where do you draw the line, my friend?

StSanta - some things can never be defended, and one of them is racial slurs.

All I *ask* you is to be polite and try
not to use public channel to express ideas that might be ofensive to someone.It's not so difficult.

BTW, this has nothing to do with PC but respect. Anyway, if you don't understand this, you may simply consider this as an idea to help us maintain a public channel
in which we can have fun without offending each other. After all, we shall not forget that there's always SOMETHING that may offend SOMEONE.

Perhaps joking about it is bad, but I don't see anything wrong with mail order brides. Why should 2 people be alone just because they're seperated by a half a world?

As for "buying" russian wives by US citizens, Naso, have you tried living in Russia? Do you think they have any dignity left to sell?
In fact, such a women automatically becomes an american citizen and has more rights, liberties and dignity then most europeans will ever know.
As if arranged marriage is a thing of the past where you live...

Maybe i can still hope?

Yankee, Ronni, buy me, please.
