Quite frankly, it's an outrage. This must not stand.

Whoah...

I just now saw the post you were referring to.

You only posted his sig here. I thought you were goofing on that... and I was only commenting about it as if you found this bit of prose objectionable... as a goof  :)

But ah... you were talking about something else. Uhm... so... man this aint my night at all.

If its not taken out of context, then the word itself is not offensive. (ie, "Then they said we were a bunch of N____ers, I didn't care for that at all!")

Thunder is good people.

That’s a fitting offtopic fact to end to this.

It wasn't the year 2000 "N" word Hblair. Read Tom Sawyer, he said "cupcake." Oh gasp, gosh!...blarg. Get HBO for Gods Sake. Chris Rock will make you all hide in fear more than Anthrax.

Punt it why don't you, didn't you read "THE END?  diddlyING Aye, (That's the "F"word) TWICE?

It's impossible to relate to you tards, so i punt it again. -

Make HTC lock silly community toejam. Noone can just let it go.

Fools.

Yeah, but where's the "N" thread.   :)

And to be honest, I prolly agree with you on the use of the N word. It's prolly no more inappropriate than other words that get hurled around. But it's like a hand grenade, everybody's gotta be so sure the get dis-associated from it that they look kinda goofy.

Where's the thread?

Aw toejam, now I'm getting banned!  I'll admit I've used the word, but not just randomly spewing it out for no apparent reason on some BBS like Lava did in the Eagle's 1.09 thread.  I always made sure to do it in the company of friends and co-workers of the ebony persuasion, while also talking about their eating habits (usually involving Popeye's fried chicken).

BTW...What is a "cracker assed cracker" anyhow?   :D
