if i made mom jokes towards you and you told me that it really offended you, i would quit, as i would expect the same for me. like i remember this one incident on ia where a guy made a remark towards my father (my father is deceased) i asked him to quit w/ the foolishness, he was one of the ignoramouses and continued...didnt show any respect. if i'm told to stop, ill stop. if ed told me to quit with the jokes i make towards him about a particular subject, i would. same for anyone else, just a respect i have for humans, period

it is wrong on all aspects... the race card is serious business to most, especially me . i don't respond to it or show much feeling to it on the internet cause it makes no scense . ppl just hide behind their keyboards... in person is a different situation ...:goodjob: i try my best not to be offensive .

but is it ok for you to offend me on something non racial.. that was more the question....


why are racial remarks put on a higher pedestal than other offensive remarks...???

hell we call people gay and all that shit.. and i know that offends gays... i have a couple lesbian friends... i all the time will be like... "man that's so gay".. i just get an awful look every time... lirl...

my only point is that offending someone in any aspect is the same whether it includes skin color or not.. it's what you LET offend you that is really the problem.

Your sig if fucking hilarious!

the question was racial remarks and 'jokes', it just swayed into is it right for jokes that arent racial to be said.

your thought on the whole racial thing is bias IMO killer. i'm just letting it go because i've stated what i've had to and its really no reason to try to go deeper into it because its pretty much a rat on a wheel right now

yeah.

i always said the mexican jokes offend me and no one's ever stopped.

like i said it is wrong on all aspects... you feel as strongly about non racial offences as i do about racial offences.. just because i dont feel the same does not mean i could care less ... the point is if you aer joking around and the joke is taken out of context then the right thing to do is
apologize.

The difference is threads aren't made on a semi regular basis dedicated to dumb shit like " Why do gays do blah" or " why does killer's mom do such and such?"

Yes, there is an almost endless list of reasons and ways to offend people and yes, one determines how much they allow something to offend them but, by the same token, this is a business afterall.

Numbers and sponsors will not increase and the potential of this forum will not be realized if people are scared away because of the content therein. Additionally, at some point enough is enough.

I understand your issue with Sammich's stance however, because of the fact that it is hard to take him seriously on his current sentiments regarding the race issue on IA when up until recently, he was part of the shenanigans....I do commend him though on following up on his commitment to not engage in the aforementioned behaviors...

what does aforementioned mean?:ninja:

lol yea but seriously, recently (last couple of months since i made that thread) i've worked hard to quit with it.

Quite frankly, we get away with a whole lot more shit on this forum than most do on others....The fact that we're even having this discussion is a testament to that.

i signed up on a forum that was like..no explicit words, straight off the bat..i was like OH SNAP lol

but i respect it

one thing i have noticed is the hate on this sight is strong . ppl bash all day... i mean its cool if you dont like someone , just keep it moving. for example i got a negative rep .fine it is gonna happen but in the comment box was fag... of course i was upset but i just gave said person a good rep and replied "thanks for th negative rep, + to you for being on your job as a hater" cant kick ass thru the screen... LOL
