quote: Systematically dehgumanising poeple is a necessar prerequisite to the exercise of violence of against them. Seeing as we have only a few decades ago come through a global war which exhibioted large scale racist dehumanisation, there is a valid view that such systematic denigration is exactly a precursor to actual violence. The same applies to sexist discrimination. But you are free to live in the swamp, Mr. Hambre. I will envertheless be requesting the moderators stop this board being used as a vehicle for hate speech.

quote: What you are referring to is "realism".
quote: You mean for example, your reaction to being called on racist jokes? I'm perfectly happy with the fact people disagree with me. I am not happy with the propagation of hate-speech.
quote: Wrong; I am describing the actual procedural impact rather than the subjective rationalisation to which you resort.
quote: Indeed. Scum who tell racist and sexist "jokes", for example, and then patheticvally plead "its just a joke" are claearly failing to deal with the complexity of human society and the moral intricacies of freedom of expression.
quote: Typical of what or whom? Yet another meaningless and contentless bash. {Fixed 1 quote box- AM} This message has been edited by Adminnemooseus, 07-30-2004 11:18 AM

The moderators have been contacted but have yet to respond. What is the delay?

quote: Adults do not, in my experience, tell racist jokes and then plead innocence because "I didn't mean it". Now THATS fucking childish behaviour. If you wish to condone it, you're welcome to wallow in the slime but I'll not be joining you in the moral low ground.

quote: So, you're less than half my age, you've seen fuck all of the world, you don't have a work record and you presume to give me lectures on how the world is and how it works? Take this as a lesson, B2P: thinkig you can know what goes on in anothers head is a fools game. Making decisions or statements on that basis is even dumber.
quote: I've never denied being an arrogant fucker, but I am an entirely equal opportunity arrogant fucker. And, racist jokes are sending out a deliberately hateful message. that is what they are for; they are not just jokes, remember, they are RACIST jokes.
quote: And as I have pointed out already, the attempt by you and others to pretend I am against jokes is a desperate attempt to evdade the issue. Having read your desperate screed of faux-victimisation, I have every reason to expect that you knew those jokes were hurtful, and that that is precisely why you told them. Your pretensions to "mere humour" are simply implausible.

[qupte] That way if there is a letter in the sub-title (or more than one letter since a given joke might fall into several of the 26 categories) you can just skip it[/quote]
Or, how about if someone confirms to you that a certain topic will be offensive, you just not do it? My opposition to racism is not limited to personal aesthetic distaste, and this board would still be serving as a venue for hate-speech.

quote: I see, jar. So in a one on one conversation, it would be have been uncool for Goebbels to make racist remarks, but when he was standing on the platform at the Nurmburg rallies, it was clearly a public forum and so it would have been wrong to consider those who might be offended. Your position is crystal clear.
