... my point is that a lot of different things offend people... race has a history of offending people because people pull the race card all too much.. mom jokes may offend me more than racial ones.. is it ok for you to offend me that way but wrong for me to say something racial???Originally Posted by Sammich
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 ...i try my best not to be offensive .
my attitude is celibate, I DON'T GIVE A FUCK!!!!

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