I'm glad people aren't as sensitive as the PC police would have us believe.

Law Cobra said in Rogwar's thread on Falluja:

-------------

But I have no love for any muslim .
There people have caused more harm to my people in the last 50y ears its just sick.
They are cowards savages that do this kind of thing and I for one am sickend every time I see one on the street.

Cause hell I have no idea If there "good muslim" or a bad one.

Law Cobra says in this thread to SaburoS question about people who feel the need to use racial epiphets:

It Is our youth ! adults dont speak that way

PC is bull****, it is changing words or banning words so we can all feel "good"

We dont jhave secrateries or Janitors anymore we have Building maintanance technitians and executive administrators, cause some person who prolly was not either decided they were demeaning names.



Politeness is something totaly different then PC, I try and not be PC, but I am always try and be polite.

Like I open doors for the chicks, and still call chicks chicks, it is not PC to do either.

Funked asked, 'Which racial epithets did he use exactly?'

Well Funked, that's the delicious Mr Blackness of it all.  

He'll write off an entire major religious group (at least hundreds of millions of people) as 'cowardly' and 'savages' - the latter indicating that he's really talking about Arabs rather than Muslims, but he'll draw the line at using racial epithets (how noble).

He says, 'There [sic] people have caused more harm to my people in the last 50 years its just sick.'

Thus carefully stepping around the holocaust - so he doesn't have to write off Germans as savages, or the many European nations which had pogroms preceeding that.

Priceless.

Actually, I love jokes and humorous posts as it brightens up the day.

STFU, ******.


You care to point out what is even remotely funny about the above? The trouble with the printed phrase is no inflection of voice, no body language or facial impressions show up. Truth be told, it made me angry as there was no call for it.
Oh BTW, I've got a great sence of humor. I laugh at the funny stuff, not at the stupid stuff.
Regards.

Steve,
You're being human. Just need more exposure to those your prejudiced of to see that what makes you angry/leary of any group is actually in the minority.
The several times I've had the pleasure of being in your area in the MA was about your being the excellent player with SA. You were never rude or "un PC" around me, either. Thanks and ~S~!

I am getting the picture of how most here see PC.
I'll agree with some of those types of examples (such as the coffee being too hot, etc).
What I meant was not about that, more like:


Main Entry: politically correct
Function: adjective
: conforming to a belief that language and practices which could offend political sensibilities (as in matters of sex or race) should be eliminated.

Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

Names like J**, N*****(Just to name 2 of too many examples), etc., should have no place in labeling others.

I thought you were being too serious and was just busting your balls.  If you don't think stupid is funny then I guess we just don't have the same taste in humor.  :)

Figured that.
Your post wasn't funny, not stupid funny, not humor funny, not funny at all, period. Would have been better had you not made that post at all. I don't care if you were wearing a Cheshire Cat grin while you were posting either. It didn't translate. No matter, I'm done with you in this thread. You have a good day, sir.

Don't mind him, Funked, Saburo just needs a long walk on the beach to calm his nerves.  He's very sensitive and has gotten all vachlempt over your evil words.  

And really it was funny, even for a ****ing ****** like you.
