Racism = bad
Homophobia = okay
Man I sure am learning a lot from TTLG today

Don't read too much in to that. I don't have anything against homosexuals, I use that term without ever really giving too much thought to its actual dictionary definition (like we all use bastard, cunt or bitch), merely as a pejorative. Something akin to that recent south park episode. But there is absolutely no point in explaining this because you know fine rightly and you are only nit picking. Before you accuse me of hypocrisy even still for using it there is much difference between casually throwing that about and constructing a very deliberate attack on someone like oRGY.

What does it matter where the man is from? He's pointing out these things because they prove just how horrible a monarchy is in today's world. The fact that you see these things, such as promotion of war-because afterall all thats one of the manifestations of imperialic fascism-and yet accept them I find strange.
Er, what? It's because she's part of a well known history that speaking like a head of state occassionally is no real surprise. A dyed in the wool republican ought to be happy for the reminder, I'd think. If the UK government did start behaving in a facist way I doubt she's got the powers left to chuck them out anyway (dunno though)

...like we all use ... cunt ...
errr, no, I don't.
It strikes me as funny that so many blokes seem to regard sex as one of the greatest gift to mankind and yet use the object of their desire as one of their worst, most offensive insults.
Go figure.

I was just trying to give examples, you are right about the cunt thing and how it doesn't make sense. But my point is I, like a lot of other people, bandy these terms about as generic insults. The words actual definition is null and void when you analyse the context in which they are used as you have pointed out but thats another kettle of fish...

Kinda like how racist has become a generic insult?
oop i'll be going now
Macha on 11/1/2010 at 20:45
No, not at all. You cannot make me trip up on that, it is an illogical construct for your argument. It would make sense if you compared me saying 'fag' or 'cunt' to an offhand racist remark such as calling me paddy (or mick in your instance, I like the spice) or making a faux pas about me drinking. However, oRGY took time and effort to construct his little poem...

Okay, if I get another PM about this shit, I'm just going to ban whoever sent it.*
* not really, but fucking hell
a) The Irish are not a race
b) oRGy is an Irish
End of FUCKING DISCUSSION
