Never mind, then.
Why pepper me with questions and top it off with the "brother" shit at the end? Flummoxed, hardly. I just think your a clueless idiot.Quote:

They were called a racial slur after heckling which hardly justifies them compensation. Next up: sue the Laugh Factory.:ermm:
The last sentence does not mean I'm flummoxed, btw.
Now if they were getting dinner at a restaurant, asked for water, and the waiter went on the same tirade, I could be symapthetic.
Busyman using irony or Busyman being fucking stupid.Quote:

Everything pointed to irony; the context, your italics - but given the precedent your past posts provide, I just couldn't credit you with it.
Still can't.
Fair enough. I wish you woulda just let jay reply first, ya fuckwit.Quote:

I don't think so. There's a phrase that describes this: "positive discrimination".
Lets assume that Richards was heckled twice during his routine, once by a fat man, and once by a black man. Now assuming he lost his temper with both parties' and called the fat man "lard arse" and the black man "nigger". Which one of the insults causes the most damage?
One is racism and the other isn't. I imagine they could cause the same amount of damage. A self-conscious fat person could be offended just the same.Quote:

I'd like to know if the fellas' (hecklers) story is true. It changes things a bit.
Would you like to explain to me why the insult of "lard arse" is funnier than the insult of "nigger"?
maybe because 50 years ago they didn't used to string fat people up just for the craic :dabs:Quote:

I mean really if you wanna open up the sensitivity bridges we couldn't have name calling at all.
For instance, I've been called a fat ass on here but I didn't go into an uproar over it.
People are just jealous of my luxurious body and resort to name-calling.:snooty:
There's is a fella at work that tried to put it in perspective by saying that if you are black and call your friends "niggas" that you are a hypocrite for getting mad at Cosmo.
I wouldn't really call him an idiot but just a little clueless.
Whoever doesn't realize that offense can change depending on who is saying the words then they need to get off their soapbox and delve into their own noggin a bit.
It's quite easy.
Thank you.Quote:

I guess it's out-of-bounds to make fun of someone's style of dress too.
So a person can only feel insulted if a previous generation has physically suffered as a result of what the insult entails?Quote:

Nigger is just a name. Oh no it's racism! Lard arse is just a name. Oh no It's fatism!Quote:

By using the term "old fashioned name-calling" I'm assuming you believe that the insulting of fat people pre-dates the insults recieved by black people?
A person can feel insulted for any name-calling.Quote:

Situation 1:
Me and a white co-worker get into an argument. He calls me a motherfucker.
Situation 2:
Me and a white co-worker get into an argument. He calls me a nigger.
In Situation 1 we can comeback to being "cool" again. In Situation 2, there is no comeback.
Sorry I got a post behind somehow. Let me answer to you here.Quote:

To me fat jokes are funny as are racist jokes.
Why is a big deal to call someone a nigger on here?
Why not open up the sensitivity bridges and save the feelings of the lard arse as well as the nigger?
You've been called a fat ass and not got upset by it, would you be upset if you got called a nigger or would it depend on the context? (I'm assuming you are a black man from previous experience on the board as well as this thread)
In situation 2 why is there no comeback it's just an insult all the same? Explain to me why nigger is worse than motherfucker.Quote:

If you believe that all name-calling is the same then you don't have a gist of what the real world is like.
You are logically thinking....in a bubble.
"That's name-calling and that's name-calling....voila."
:no:
So because a person is black an insult hits harder than if he was fat or hairy?Quote:

:no:
Or are you saying black people suffer more than fat people (any race does'nt matter could be turkish)
Hey which is worse..
Calling someone a lard ass or joking about Jews in gas chambers?:blink:
What's worse: calling someone a nigger or joking about black people being used for slave labour
Exactly! Its all about the context in which a word is used.Quote:

Why does it matter who's saying it. Surley a nigger is a nigger as much as a lard arse is a lard arse? Or is it only ok for a nigger to call someone a nigger as is its ok for a lard arse to call someone a lard arse?Quote:
