Murdr, for you to blindly support a squaddie basically eliminates you as one I would consider debating with since you really don't have an opinion, you are just reacting. Ack-ack has used the racial slur "gringo", along with others, in the past on the board. You and I are done here.

I trust you will have no problem having this quote thrown back at you the next time you and your squaddies jump to the defense of a certain muppet's poor in-game behavior?

Gringo???? C'mon Steve, I'm the whitest guy on the face of the earth and I've never taken offense to the word "gringo". It's part of the name of probably thousands of bars, restaurants and cheap hotels across the southwest and in Baja Mex. I've got a couple of t-shirts somewhere that say "gringo" something or other, eaten I don't know how many gringo taco's, and drank many gringo margaritas.

Sorry, I was unaware that you decide what offends me.

E25280, have you read my comments about a certain muppet's behavior?

Ok. We have to take this down to grade school level then I guess.

In direct quoted reply to that he got...

Exactly my point.

It's how you use it. "Dumb Jap" is one thing, but to just casually say "Jap" in a friendly way online is okay by me.

and

Abrreviating a word for online use is fine by me.

I find other words be to offensive and I will not use them.

The word Jap spoken in a friendly way is NOT offensive. If you use it in a derogatory way, then well, it's offensive. That word is an abbreviation.

Actually there's more in the way of argumentative replies, but let's keep moving.

So to show the weakness of the counter argument that is is OK to use an offensive word as long as you (the person using it) didn't mean it in a derogatory way, AKAK presented examples using alternate slurs in that line of thinking. This shows how ridiculous that reasoning is. (see satire definintion above)

As AKAK said, your reaction proved his point. It is just as offensive "in a friendly way" to say "gringo", or "jap" or any other word like that. Meaning quote "Regardless (of) how you use the term or what "inflection" you use when saying it, it's offensive to them." How so? Because you took offense to it regardless of how it was said.

Wait. In case you missed it, here's the point he was trying to make...

So there is nothing to debate with me about. Because you either just don't pay attention, or illustrating absurdity with absurdity is too high a form of making a point for you. Either way, I don't care because you are acting like a jerk.

Since you seem to have trouble understading my posts, I'll try once more then I'm out of this thread. I'm not referring to AKAK's comments in this thread, he has made racial slurs in other threads.
You can continue to hold AKAK's jock all you want, it's plain to me you cannot see beyond it so I'm done with you. I will not be returning to read your next simpering retort.

Is charlie a bad word?

How about Red?

These words are not shortened from longer words so they must only mean one thing.

Murdr · « **Reply #191 on:** September 17, 2007, 12:35:33 PM »

Well gee Steve, the way you snapped off at me that Im blind, I don't have an opinion, and I am to be dissmissed in reply to my posting two definitions, makes you the poster boy for not offending people.

Don't be an ******* with me for no good reason and expect a pleasent response.

Every person of Japanese decent I have known is offended by the names given them during WWII. One is JAP and the other is NIP. These names, which they did not choose for themselves, are as bad as the N word. I caution people to be aware of this. The war is over, they are allies and a very honorable people. I wouldn't dream of offending them.

after reading this whole worthless thread, I have seen no reference torwards a towel head, or a camel jockey, or a sand N*****. A jap plane is a jap plane. Get over it.
