It read like a rhetorical question.

Don't be a dick...obviously I'm not starang21. But I read it like a rhetorical question, this is an open discussion board, and I've brought this to your attention before but you continue to ignore it.

Hmm. Don't get your panties in a wad. There are numerous instances of posters using different ID's in GC.

Because some people refer to themselves and others in their group by using the "n word" that does not make it okay to refer to them as such. Why? Because it is inflamatory, unnecessarily offensive and serves no purpose other than disparagement.

If those who attended the Tea Party events referred to themselves as "teabaggers" it was more than likely because they had not heard the term used as a sexual act. I know I had never heard of it prior to MSNBC harping incessantly about it. Just so you know, I attended several "Tea Parties" last year. You and I both know it is a pejorative term, so why would one want to use it? The answer: to be unnecessarily offensive, to inflame and to disparage.

I have now answered you. Can we be friends? :)

because i want to

:)

Not necessarily.

Come now. If I were to start throwing that word around on the forum it would start WWIII. I would be banned and rightfully so. Why? Because it is inflamatory, unnecessarily offensive and is used to disparage. I stand by my comment.

I wasn't asking you a question.

I made a statement. And that statement stands :)

last i checked, people are entitled to do that.

So, whose fault that they called themselves teabaggers without researching the term first?

I don't even think that's in the same ballpark as what you are saying.

Heh.

If it bothers you that much then you may want to call oxford over its inclusion as word of the year.

prove it.

You know that you were just telling her to mind her own business.

So, was Ghostwriter trying to say "cocksucker" or was he trying to say "the n word?"

And is he really dumb enough to think the history behind "the n word" is comparable to that of "teabagger?" Does he think people really give a shit about a term that some people consider derogatory because it is supposedly in reference to a sexual act that is not even common knowledge?

Seriously?

Rearlly...

A penis is a little north of the "teabags"

N-word isn't.

And agreed on the 2nd part.

I'm just floored.

I wish Ghostwriter would've saved his stupidity for the 2 threads that could've been fantastic GC race wars (John Mayer and Amy Bishop). The system has failed us.

ETA: LOL. Did you trick me into giving Ghostwriter the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming what I thought, which is that he was saying "the n word?" Just when I was trying to be GC Nice. Darnit.

Awww...what caused you to edit out what you said about Obama?

We already know you are a racist idiot. You have proved that much.


Moving right along.

I don't know why people really give a shit but:

ETA: So anyone who isn't a complete dumbass can see that "teabagger" was self-titled for many tea partiers (party over here!) until the sexual connotation became more widespread. As someone who thinks all of these political parties, categories and affiliations are dumb as hell, I say get the hell over this bullshit and go back to the SUBSTANTIVE.

You shouldn't have...really.

It took 2 minutes on Google and I'm impartial to all of this political bullshit. :)

If this was a more important topic, such as race and gender, I would tell the fuckers to do REAL research on their own.

Well let's sit back and wait to see if a Rimjob party would spring up.

or Salad Tossers for Freedom.

this is made even more gross by the fact that i had a salad for lunch. :mad:

*clutches pearl necklace*

That's just plain nasty!

Both of which were nonsexual things before sexual acts were named after them. :)

I find the term "teabagger" to be offensive. So what. Others don't but that doesn't make it less offensive to me.

The word I referenced was what was said and "Knight Shadow" had it right. I didn't spell it out but I can. North of "teabagger" was an attempt at humor. Maybe a poor attempt, at that, but nevertheless an attempt. Sorry you didn't understand but Knight Shadow did so it wasn't lost on all.

My point about what is inflamatory may or may not be a good comparison but I believe it has some level of validity. Take it as that or don't. Your choice.

my point exactly.

When you look in the mirror, do you see a teabagger?

Does it bother you that others may see you as such?

And what makes you think the 'rest of us' didn't get it?

Sometimes it's just easier to let people stew on their own words.

See how easy it is to just say what the hell you're trying to say instead of playing games and leaving it up to people to figure out?

Oh and fuck off with your failed attempts at dismissiveness.

What the eff is a "real" rimjob (not the booty-hole pleasuring connotation)?

Go look it up....LOL

*sorry having a madmax moment!*

Then go look it up yourself jackass...

*sorry, I was having one of your moments!**

You hurt my feelings!

You look it up. While you're taking care of your kids!


No...only one type of rimjob pulls up on page 1 of google. I don't care enough to continue searching, though, so I guess I'll never know lol

Says the person who is too chickenshit to get over being a teabagger.

Even ya mama's smart enough to get what the links are providing.

Prove it. Nevermind, I don't give a shit.

Either way, if Tea Partiers are as smart as they claim they are, they won't subscribe to something that OTHERS call them if they don't identify with it and find it offensive. Duh.

Sorry. Thought there was a no profanity clause on GC when I signed the agreement. Guess I was wrong - cocksucker!

^^teabagger.

It can be a job with the company RIM or a tire job. :)

Congrats.
