Klingons were white with no headbumps, back in the original Startrek. The Enterprise series (which I only saw a few episodes of) tried to explain that as being the side-effect of a cure for some disease that was threatening the Klingon race, and that genetic mutation (which affected several million Klingons) was passed on to subsequent generations.

And I never even liked that show.

OMG I have teh stereotyping cooties.

Since it's quite obvious by your sig that you have a major bug up your ass about me, I'm sure even the casual reader of this thread can see how full of shit you are.

Shoo.

hmm you just insulted yourself there Kendra. her sig quotes you and you called her full of shit. WAY TO GO!!!!!

I knew I shoud have brought my depends...

Not really. Briana fancies herself to be clever by quoting what she believes to be outrageous statements by me. She thinks it undermines my credibility and burnishes her own.

In point of fact it just makes her look snide and narrowminded.

you come up with that all by yourself?


guess not

we all know thats my responsibility

"Hamas! Allahu Ak-"

Egads batman! I guess I should have read every post before making my witty comment...Now I'm terribly afraid people will think i'm a copycat....I'm leaving SL for good with my head hung low...mmhmmm

at least you're somewhat charming about it.

Its hard for me (male) to get "catfightish"

Looks like the pupet master shoved his arm a little to far up.

"Hopefully the Sam the Eagle Decoy will keep the press busy"

Sure it was funny, and just as entertaining and mean spirited as most of the rest of the posts here, so it fits perfectly. Ah well.

I think maybe she enjoys playing dumb just to see what happens. Sad that it's gotten to the point where even I can't resist flaming. I have some pretty damn good restraint most of the time and enjoy civil discussions with people I disagree with, but hell...

When speaking about being a better person, yes we should all be guilty of some projection.

Perhaps. Or perhaps I caught a her making assumptions that a post was racist because her own views are racist.

Most racists are unaware they are racists. I was simply pointing that out.

If you would like to engage in some badanage with me, however, bring it on.

I'll even give you a handicap to level the playing field.

I'm disappointed in your performance, Champie. You usually do much better.

I asked you before to point out to me where my views were racist. If you did that, I missed it among all the snarky remarks.

Speaking of projecting:



That goes for many forms of bigotry, ideological bigotry included.

So, if someone points out that someone reminds them of an animal, if the person happens to be black, it's a racist comment? That's confusing. How about this?



Is this racist?

Was it wrong for me to photoshop condi's face to look more angry than she was? This was the original photo:

and the photo I doctored:

I knew I shoulda taken a left at Albuquerque

I hate that dentist, he always uses too much novocaine.

It has long been considered racist to compare black people to apes. (Yes, I say black, because in my line of work I use the AP Style Guide and that's the preferred term. I find it no better or worse than African-American, just shorter.) If you don't believe that ape or monkey has had negative connotations, consider the rather extensive list of ethnic slurs on Wikipedia.

Did the poster mean to be racist? I don't know. If you recall my post, I didn't call them that. IIRC, I said, "This is OK?" Maybe the poster was from a country or place where that term has not been used in a racist context, I don't know. I do know, however, that I have heard more than a few people object to the term

If that person was aware that the term is emotionally charged and used it anyway, then I would say they are either flirting with racisim or just being extremely insensative in order to make a funny.

Comparing Bush to a chimp doesn't carry the same emotional baggage. I don't think it's a particularly poignant thing to do, however. Hey, we share 99.7 percent of or DNA with chimps. It's not too terribly hard to find pictures where any human being could be said to resemble a chimp in some way.

As for docotoring the photo, no, not racist. Unethical, yes. But then again, I'm speaking from a background in journalism that says docotoring a photo to create an effect like that is unethical. If you'll recall, when a magazine (I can't remember which) was caught doing that to her photo, it caused an uproar. If you're not in the same field, you may well not have the same standards on that topic.

Well it made me laugh my ass off Finning. Certainly the best one so far in my opinion
