BOTTOM LINE?? YES THERE ARE "MEMBERS ONLY" WORDS!!!!!

There ARE some words, phrases, and disparaging remarks that are off limits. Let's be grown-ups: OF COURSE there are words that some groups can use that others can't.

Don't start crying --> "How come they get to?" to me. LOL. The "He did it first" mess does not fly. My little niece can't get away w/ dropping the F bomb. She tried it once, and she got the quick reminder; "That's a word grown-ups get to use and you are not a member of the Grown-up Club... and membership has it's privileges."

Some people have entitlement issues --> they are so used to privilege, that they take any infringement of their "freedoms" or "rights" as foul play (though they seem to be a lot slower on the draw when it doesn't involve them or their own group). Other people have no sense of boundaries at all. The do not understand things like "context". To misuse a word or phrase is playing w/ fire any way you slice it. But feel free to play if you are willing to get burned (Imus?).

It is NOT a double-standard, it's life. Welcome to Earth. Alphas can talk about Alphas, but Kappas better STFU and watch themselves. Marines can talk shit about each other, but don't let a grunt get into the fight. Family can talk about family, but every1 else better know that there is a line they can't cross if they don't share my last name.

Like I said, membership has it's privileges... but membership ALSO has it's costs. To all the people wanting to throw the word n*gga around, make sure you have paid the price of admission.
