The cute phrase you just butchered actually goes "when you assume you make an ASS out of (yo)U and ME". Now why don't you make a tree and get the heck out of here?

Well I'm feeling bored, so you can amuse me. Since you're bedwetting over people making assumptions, let's see your scientific proof that 90% of Mexicans are dumb. I could do with a laugh.

No no no, I think the point was that I am an ass. Just me. He calls blacks "animals" and says that 90% of Mexicans are dumb, but *I'M* an ass. Isn't that cute?

And that whole "gaynemer" thing... boy, that was just priceless comedy there. I haven't been assaulted with that caliber of wit since I was seven years old. I'm wounded somethin' fierce, lemme tell ya what.

Well, someone once used the phrase I mentioned and it was very cute- I can't see someone using the words "assume", "ass" and "u" without having butchered the correct phrase.

Without taking this thread to a whole new level of flaming...

I notice that you like to do this a lot, BFB. You post your nasty little opinion of someone, they defend themselves, and then you try to turn it around with the "aww, he's being a crybaby and getting upset over nothing" angle while trying to propel your own 'witty sarcasm' into the limelight.

Does more for the other guy's side than yours, I'm afraid.

That might be true, but it's still damned funny. And he still manages to get his point across, i.e. asking for proof about these 90% of Mexicans who are dumb.

If we forget the morb-bashing here, I've come to regret sending a letter to mercator. I realize that while that was a silly article (and I still wonder about how homosexuals have attained equal rights with heterosexuals just because they can hold parades) and her dog was ugly, it's not done for to participate in pile-ons this obvious. I apologize.

I have to say, I was rather amazed how angry Sprayber got about everybody making fun of this girl...

I didn't email her or anything like that, but if you really feel that strong about it, Sprayber, then I'm sorry that I was making fun of her the other night.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that...

Is she actually Mexican, or a Yanqui transplant like Michael? I honestly have no idea.

If the former, then yes, I believe we have our answer. And that answer is: hubba hubba.

In that too many people in society share her views, that would be an emphatic Yes.

Interesting to note that had MtG been present, morb would have been paying host to Mr Ban days ago. Looks like it's mod's day off again.

Hi, Orange. You can play nicely with racists if you wish, but I'm not joining in. I reserve the right to tell them what I think, and if I can belittle them in the process, I'll happily do so. It's an honest reaction and one I'm perfectly comfortable with.

If you're going to jump in with the "she's not being cencored" comment, OF COURSE SHE IS. This is cencorship by peer/public pressure. This is the premis on which the whole PC movement was based on. It IS cencorship. If one person told you to shut up, you'd ignore them and move one, but if thousands do this? Even if you're not going to change your opinion, you aren't going to express it because you finally get tired of the hassel. This is exactly what the rest of you are counting on. The whole "its up for critique" argument doesn't fly. You're just using this to shut up your oponents.



Morb, you're not exactly a supreme court candidate are you? Censorship is illegal if it is conducted by the government. The government may not tell you what to say. In the private sector people are allowed to have their own opinions and standards and tastes. Therefore, when you use your first admendment rights to say what you want, we can use our first admendment rights to say what we want. ( I hope I'm not going too fast for you)

If what we want to say is that you're an idiot, we can say that. If a group of private citizens want to shun you and not talk to you, that is their right. You right-wingers are so anoying, throwing around the first admendment card every chance you get, but forgetting that freedom of speech also apllies to others.

Got it?

That's not what I was saying at all. What I'm saying is, you come out and say "racist this, racist that" and throw in a sarcastic jab or two for density, and when they respond, you claim that they're whining and treat them like babies. This isn't an isolated issue that I'm speaking of, either...I've seen you do it rather often. That's all.
