Are riots next?

I can see a difference between "old geezer" and "nigger". Black folks aren't dumber, or slower, or slavier or anything else different from anyone else. Old people, however, are different from those that aren't old. Their bones break easier, they aren't mentally as sharp as they were when their brains were younger and their neural networks hadn't "locked in", they move slower, they have more health problems generally, their vision often isn't as good, nor their hearing, and so on. The "geezer" part is what's offensive, but there's nothing wrong with calling an old man an old man, just as there's nothing wrong with calling a tall man a tall man.

Also, since skin color doesn't affect anything else, there's no reason even to mention it. Age does affect things though, so it's informative. If I'm told I'm going to need to walk 10 miles to do some canvassing, I'd want to know if the dude coming with me is 90 years old, because that would mean I'd be going slower and would need to push dinner up a few hours. If he was black, that wouldn't affect anything, and I wouldn't need to know.

^^^ Its a matter of respect, Bong. And if one is being demeaning ... demeaning is demeaning, if you get my drift.

When I was younger, this wouldn't have occured to me in a million years. Now that I'm running out of runway, so to speak, I see it very clearly now. You'll be here soon enough too. :)

Yeah, I hear ya. I'm in my 40s, and I might get cranky when people start calling me an old man. But, looking on the bright side, I'd rather be an old man than a dead man. I never thought I'd live to be 30, so if I live long enough to hear someone calling me an old man, I'll be thankful that I'm still around to hear it!

Eh? What's that you said? Get off my lawn!

I used the word geezer on this thread, you used the word nigger on a different thread entirely. Can you not remember what you've said and where you said it? Do you call your 3 black friends niggers?

Aren't you the one that called me a cunt anyway? :finger:

MC Cain is a GEEZER, he's so fucking old that he can't sit down in a chair during a debate because he's afraid he might not make it back up again.




You don't seem to get it, so let me explain it one more time. I used the "N" word to shock you, and others, into the realization that when you discount older people with the term "Old Geezer," you are being just as much a bigot as the person using the "N" word. You are being hurtful. You are discounting another human being. You are being a bigot, wether you realize it or not. You are exercising a double standard.

Get it now?

Palin is also guilty of violating the public trust and abusing her power. Or at least that's what the bipartisan legislative group investigating her in Alaska has determined. Next step: Monegan is probably gonna sue the skirt off of her and the First Dude. And of course, her "can you trust Obama" comments just look stupid now, because now we KNOW we can't trust HER.

We have our own bipartisan group investigating Palin right here. Comrade Ongulator and comrade Hester. Why go anywhere else for misinformation when we've got these two unbiased vetters on our payroll? :arrow:

I merely relayed the news from the TV, so I'm just the messenger. Don't kill the messenger! But anyway, it's all over the news, Palin found guilty.

I never called her any of those things. I said she was a stupid bimbo who can't even figure out how to work a condom and her family is a train wreck. I said she is embarrassing.

I also saw on the news where some people with the last name Maverick have asked for them to stop using that word, apparently they are also embarrassed by the association.

DRIVEL is the word, please take an English class.


No cunt? No whore? No idiot? Not a string of dribble? Are you abandoning your usual high standard of etiquette? Booooooo! Booooooooooo!

Your reading comprehension is severely lacking isn't it? Poor CC, couldn't understand if you smacked him over the head with it.
