dead terrorist

Free episodes:

You are comparing a 9/11 or Holocaust victim to a dead TERRORIST, regardless of race?

uh ... ok

One man's 'terrorist' is (obviously) another man's freedom fighter.

er .... ok?

--------------------
Please note that it is mr 'all views should be expressed' who suddenly claims 'values' in relation to 'terrorists' : my whole point was that taking such 'values' into account is required before celebrating shit caricatures as 'funny, full stop;' or claiming that ethical propriety about speech is just being 'pc'.
 
>>but as soon as the voice appeared, he became more than that. Regardless of whether or not the guy was meaning to be racist or not, it became racist since it identified the "terrorist" as coming from a particular culture and/or race.

So making fun of a stereotype = racism? So what if it IS racist (which I dont think it was) IS that the end of the world? Everyone on this planet discriminates, or is biased against, other people in some way shape or form. That's just the way the world works.

As a white male I am insulted and stereotyped by people on a daily basis. As someone who lifts weights and weighs 270lbs at 5'10" I have been discriminated against by people for being a muscle-head, jock, dumb weightlifter etc. I have had people insult me to my face on several occasions about it. As an athiest I have been shunned by Christians. As a conservative I have been harrased by liberals for expressing my own views. I am offended on a daily basis by many things I see and hear around me. Why is no one out there in the world running to MY defense? I'm not even a terrorist. Now I'm not asking for, nor do I need, help. My point is simply that all this PC crap only seems to work in one direction with people.

It's amazing that people have no problem getting indignant when something offends their own world view, yet they seemingly have no problem when people are attacking other views they despise.

I'm not saying people can't bitch and moan when they come acros something they dont like, but the utter hypocrasy of this situation is that if the skeleteon was a "dumb redneck" there would have been no cries of racism.

Perhaps in your mind. Why so quick to defend "freedom fighters?" I don't consider the 911 hijackers freedom fighters, but hey it's a free country.

I guess according to your theory, one man's racist is another man's truth-teller.

Yeah but one man's truth teller is another man's bell end.

Who goes : you decide;)

rambling gibberish

You're either a genuine idiot or you're being deliberately obtuse for the sake of it, either way I'm done. I'm not about to waste precious minutes repeating simple concepts for a fourth time, I'm just going to watch Jeff (fuh-FAH)'s routine again and laugh... because it's FUNNY.

I think it's time someone killed this thread.

As always two polarised extremes crashing together in perfect disharmony. Its probably a good time to put it out of its misery since its just going to go on and on ad nauseam with no outcome eating up more and more space on the server until one day like Mr Creosote, the server will shatter and explode throwing threads and terrible on-screen names all over the place destroying the whole of man and woman kind in one foul swoop ... possibly :D

p.s. i still think i was right, though :D
