I didn't bring it to these forums, which is why I said this had to deal with IRC.
I'm not hiding behind religion or race. It's all about respect you fucking moron. I won't swear in front of elderly or in a professional setting, but when I'm in an informal setting with my friends, I'll cuss up a fucking storm.
There are few things that actually get me offended. Scamp just happened to find one of those things.
|
Respect for what? It's almost as if you expect others to show your religion more respect than you do. I think it's stupid that people choose to be offended by simple words or jokes. It's as if society is so damn boring and peoples lives have so little strife that they need to create problems for themselves. I also would not use excessive language in a workplace environment, not because I'm afraid of offending someone but because it's simply unprofessional. The same way I wouldn't call my boss "dude" or "bro" as I do with my friends.
I am a Christian, a friend of mine is a jew and another is Chinese. We insult the hell out of each other constantly based entirely around ethnic and religious stereotypes. We don't get uptight and offended, that would be ridiculous. I find it completely uncomprehensible how anyone could take a comment, no matter what the content, offensive when it is not meant in an insulting manor. If someone walks up to you and actively insults you for your beliefs because of genuine feelings in an attempt to put you down, then by all means get offended. But not because of a joke.
Anyway, whatever. My point is that people shouldn't be so damn uptight about religion, race, or whatever and just let it flow. If someone isn't actively trying to offend you then don't take offense, that's my philosophy.

You just ruined my song...and I love that song...
Maybe you're living your life a little too carefree. You're supposed to respect others. Blah...you ruined my song and now I can't think. Go be "loose" and go smoke a doobie.
BTW...I don't get offended when friends talk like that, but when it's online, meh.
whoa.

You're religious so you can say "god hates florida" in a comedic fashion, but someone who isn't can't? That's a bunch of politically correct bullshit. People can say whatever they want, especially on a internet forum.
|
You're not even a part of the conversation. Not to mention that being on an internet forum is often times MORE restricting than in public. Crimson could make it so that you can only say "All hail Crimson".
|
You posted it on a public forum. I don't give a shit about some IRC chat, I'm not responding to that. I'm responding to the forum post, why the fuck would you say something on a public forum if you didn't want anyone else reading it or involved in the conversation?
You're right that administrators can impose any kind of restrictions that they want, but that being said internet forums are rarely holy ground. Personally I don't care if I offend you with a joke I make, as a matter of fact that would make it more enjoyable. I fucking hate hypocrites who are so afraid of being offended, yet they hide behind their race/religion to say whatever the hell they want.
Here's a few jokes:
How do you start a war in Israel? Roll a quater down the street.
What do you call two Mexicans playing basketball? Juan on Juan.
I'm not Jewish or Mexican, so by your standards I shouldn't be allowed to say that. Well fuck your politcally correct standards, I'll say whatever the fuck I want if I think it's funny or worth saying. I hate all this bullshit surrounding our society. Holy shit! Janet Jacksons tit fell out, I must be offended. Just get over it and roll with the punches, life will be a lot more enjoyable if your not so damn uptight.

JUAN ISNT A MEXICAN NAME GOD DAMMIT

I don't think God hates Florida.. I think he's just still pissed about all the shit you fucked up during the last election, and he's going to make it so none of you can vote this time around..
Who will the disenfranchised black voters blame this time when they're unable to get to the polls? The big white storm?

No, no, we can't count obvious votes for Gore, because if we did, then Gore would have won Florida. And we can't have that, now, can we?
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
