I highly appreciate the freedom of speech available on b3ta. I am intrigued as to why you use the kind of words you have this evening.

# i said wog entirely in context of someone talking racistly in the gif above, completing their scentance
and use of the word darky up there ^ is entirely in an ironic way.

I don't notice this sort of "intrigue" into people making homophobic or paedophilic comments.
(, Thu 1 Dec 2005, 0:23, archived)
# it suppose it depends on my state of mind as to whether I can be bothered
and I tend to think of you as someone who isn't going to get defensive or annoyed by rational questioning.

I'm not being a race nazi (ha), I was just wondering what your rationale was.

And I suppose paedophilic comments aren't really as close to the bone as racist or homophobic comments are for me.

EDIT: Having just checked back, that gif had nothing racist in it at all. YOu just put your own ideas in.

# i'm not at all offended
but I'll defend what i did fiercely before i make any sort of appology.

Just look at it as though I have as little interest in racism as I do in paedophilia or homophobia so I can comfortably joke about it.

And nazi race? My granny was a jew shipped out of germany by Schindler. (as in the one with the list in the spielburg film)

# as my great grandfather was in a concentration camp
and you surprise me even more by using objectifying terms like "wog" or "darkie", even ironically, if you appreciate that kind of irrational hatred that comes with a fear of unknown peoples.

# and just for the sake of rounding things off
On a personal level, I just don't care either way about race, it's this polite middle class surrey upbringing, I find the idea of racism ludicrous enough to be acceptable irony.
I'd go into more waffle, but like i said, i'm off to bed. Night.

# Which probably tells you
how racist language is more "taboo" than homophobic ones. I don't like either, but I've given up challenging the use of the word "gay" to mean bad* - it's much less "shocking", and so prevalent I can't be bothered any more.

# so those of us that can comfortably joke about it are a step ahead of the rest?

# Yes -
- so long as you're aware of the wider effects of the term, and are using it in a situation [like b3ta] where it's understood by just about everyone who sees it that it *is* ironic.

It sounds shitty, but these things do matter to, say, some guys under my care who would be utterly devastated by an incorrect usage of the term.

# I never understood cluedo
If you find out it was you and you declare it, you win, so why not just say it was you at the start, and with a confession the police will accept it was you and you win by default.

Also, what sort of detectives have to spend ages working out if the body was shot or clubbed with a lead pipe?

# That reminds me
of the time my GF, her brother and I all tried to play this GOD AWFUL game called "Catch Penny" based in 18th Century London. The idea is to be the first to save an entire pound! We gave up after about 20 minutes of frustration because NONE of us could work out the currency.

3 penny = 1 threepenny bit.
