Now that I think about it, I too, am offended.

And while we're at it, "male" and "female" for plug designations kinda rubs me the wrong way, too.

"Microsoft" has a pornographic subtext also.

I could go on and on...

[mooseman2070]

You SEXEST,,, lol

[GCNaddict]

master and slave
king and servant
lord and peasant
Head lion and low lion

of all the possible meanings, that crackhead had to choose white master and black slave


i wont be surprised if he is made rich and then shot in the head

how bout this: Master drive and Slave drive&#33; doesnt that work too&#33;?&#33;

the person who coined those labels could not have meant any racial discrimination, thats stupid

how can you file a discrimination complaint on that&#33; ur not even being discriminated against&#33;

that bastard will die one day

while were at it, how bout we remove all games from the market which involve servants&#33; there goes pikmin, command and conquer, AoE, civilization, warcraft III... the list goes on

this world will be a dark place soon... :ph34r:

[mooseman2070]

totally agree dude.

[Cl1mh4224rd]

The folks over at Slashdot came up with a few good ones. My favorite was "Pimp/Hoe". :)

[edit : Good lord... the forums just changed while I typed this up. :blink: ]

[SciManAl]

It is another example of the "new" and "better" world we are living in, or at least "trying" to live in... can&#39;t do anything to piss anybody off ....


but even before that someone arrogant enough to say that the master slave designations even have corolation to a real life scenerio is stupid... It WAS NEVER INTENDED to be applied tro real life past the logic side of what has proccedense on the digital level... However has filled the complaint should be educated why it is called that, and then be told not to be so god damned racist about themselves&#33; not even about another person they are using the awkward stance between races and past occurances to get there way&#33; seriosly not right... want to kill the sick basterd that wrote the article too... i will defintily be fighting for this if it comes close to kansas, I mean come on you dumfuck i KNOW we have freedom of speech so fuck off, I KNOW there is a logicle reason why we say something when we do&#33; jesus... the ignorance of americans is so blunt it hurts... (there are a few good men in the states but also far too many).

However i feel this is wrong, i strongly suggest that if you agree with my statements or even the portrayed idea that you "...stand up and fight for your right..." in your local area&#33;

Peace

Somehow the color code was wrongly chosen:

Blue=motherboard
Black=Master
Gray=Slave

I wonder how that happened? :blink:

[Ariel_001]

I can&#39;t believe how far people are taking this bullshit political correctness. Fuck PC... people can call me cracker, honkey, whitey, what ever, i&#39;m not gonna go cry and call the police because of this UNBEARABLE *gasp* namecalling, its pointless. (Sorry about that, political correctness stuff really pisses me off) Master, Slave, who gives a shit.
