"Crackpot" is the wrong term. She is simply stupid.

Does anybody else miss Betta? And Desdamona? Now THAT was humo(u)r! Des was a lightweight compared to her short-lived polar opposite Atre Jusan(or something like that). The guy was so hardcore antitheist that he wouldn't listen to your arguements, he'd just say it was bad reasoning without giving any more explaination than that.

lol, the first thread I ever viewed on here was actually the rather large one where Desamona introduced herself and proceeded to ramble on for around 10 pages straight. You can be sure that she isn't the reason I'm here, though ;P. That Atre Jusan character seems interesting. I think it would be much more fair around here if we had a few of those around, but then again, too many rambling idiots makes for bad credibility.
contracycle: I know perfectly well what I was parodying. Just as others have been doing, I was merely making a point that anything can be taken too seriously if you let it. I understand that you may have experienced some troubling racism in your life, but that doesn't mean you have to take everything directed at a certain race so seriously. Context and intent are both important, and I don't think large-scale killings are the result of a few jokes. If prejudices exist, they exist, jokes aren't going to change that too horribly much one way or the other. Of course, I suppose there are always exceptions, but you should be able to differentiate between the exceptions and the norm.

much more fun..and with contracycle...like shooting fish in a barrel..
---warning---no fish or barrels were dehumanized (since they are not human) in the making of this post. All characters and likenesses in this post are as fictional as contracycles racist scum bogeymen at EvC. The US surgeon general states that excessive whining to the administrator can cause ridicule.

quote: Ah, but I have supporting evidence - your racist jokes. And as such, this thread is an excellent example of alleged modreates giving succour and support to racists. Which only goes to demonstrate the non-existance of moderates.

So the bigot-parade continues. I suspect I shall leave you to troll by yourselves, children.

1) Calling someone a bigot makes him a bigot.
2) It's dehumanizing to use racist terms even if your intent is not to offend, because intent doesn't matter. However, if your intent is to take the moral high ground, you can use racist terms because your intent matters. 3) Humor and violence are so inextricably related that no one should dispute the dehumanizing effect of jokes, even if there's no evidence to support that relationship. Laughing makes you a bigot. (See #1) 4) You have the right to free speech as long as no one can conceivably hear what you have to say. Corrolary: Racism goes away when no one talks about it. 5) Both Imperial and Weimar Germany had incitement-to-hatred statutes to stifle hate speech.* Some things those Nazis did right. regards,Esteban Hambre *Doskow & Jacoby (1940), p.508; Borovoy (1988), p.50.

You're forgetting something: I'm only half caucasion! So why would I hate half of me? Oh man... my Mom is Jewish, and my Dad is half Irish Catholic, half English Protestant. I hate myself on so many levels... "Archeologists near mount Sinai have discovered what is believed to be a missing page from the Bible. The page is currently being carbon dated in Bonn. If genuine, it belongs at the beginning of the Bible and is believed to read, 'To my darling Candy. All characters portrayed within this book are fictitous, and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental.' The page has been universally condemned by church leaders." -Rob Grant and Doug Naylor

6)Any racist joke or racist statement made by contracycle cannot by definition be racist because contracycle made the joke.
7)Any racist joke by contracycle cannot be racist because you are all just racist roach scum 8)contracycle has lots of evidence that he is right in everything he says but his dog ate his homework so you will just have to trust him that you are racist scum. 9) see 1) in case you forgot by now This message has been edited by Mammuthus, 08-12-2004 03:16 AM

Bill is learning sky diving. Just before his first jump he asks his instructor what he should do if his chute doesn't open.
"Well" replies the instructor, "you simply pull tne rip chord on your reserve chute." "And if that fails ?" "Well", replied the instructor," as a last resort, pray to Allah ". "But I am a Christian", says Bill. "Look just trust me", replies the instructor. So Bill goes up to 20,000 feet and jumps out of the plane. And... yes you guessed it, his chute fails to open. Plummeting to Earth he thinks quickly. Aha .. he pulls the rip chord on his reserve chute. It comes off in his hand. " Oh dear " he says, or words to that effect. Heading to Earth at a rate of knots he thinks .. Aha!! pray to Allah. "Allah save me", he cries. With that a big black hand reaches out of a cloud, gently catches him and places him gently on the runway. Wiping the sweat from his brow, Bill lets out a sigh of relief and says, "Thank Christ for that". With that a big black foot descends from the cloud and squashes him flat.
