# You didn't read it carefully enough
You missed the notorious bit in Corinthians where Jesus was reported to say "And verily, a movement will arise celebrating men who lie with men and women who lie with women and they will cover themselves with rainbow banners and march through the cities of the world and this shall be a sign that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."

Or something.

De-RIS:

Camping has also said that "gay pride" and same-sex marriage are "a sign from God that judgment day is very near". "No sign is as dramatic and clear as the phenomenal worldwide success of the Gay Pride movement. In the Bible God describes His involvement with this dramatic movement … We will learn that the Gay Pride movement would successfully develop as a sign to the world that Judgement Day was about to occur," he writes.

Endeavour's attached to the ISS at the moment. Luckily, my daughter was there as well. She's not quite 5 1/2, but I was explaining they were retiring the shuttles as they were old and might have metal fatigue.

# i had mafia 2, which was ok
but you're right with the comparison, so far. it may change as i get further into the game.
red dead was awesome as a good story/game. i would put this between M2 and RDR.
I would put it closer to RDR for being generally better, but closer to M2 for how it seems to play, so far. you on xbox, or ps3?

Loved the characterisation/narrative in RDR, but found the gameplay itself a bit humdrum.
Brain is stalling over what M2 is, though. Unless it's Mass Effect 2, which I liked but found a tad sterile.
(Favourites are Fallout 3 etc and Oblivion)

# Mafia 2
I have Mass Effect 2, though i haven't played it yet. still.
Fallout 3 was good, but i lost interest after doing a few of the expansions (i bought the ultimate edition for £20, long after it was released) I think i enjoyed the story in RDR as i did a lot of the side missions with a buddy, so we spent hours picking flowers and laughing about playing a game which entailed picking flowers.
Most of the characters in LA N are very good, it is very much like playing a movie. I recommend buying it, though not at the expense of food, beer or prositutes.

# er...
I came away all conflicted t'other night - grampa did some funny stuff, but then went all racist.
I was confused about why someone couldn't see what was wrong with using racist terms but still denied being racist especially when he was given an easy get-out when invited to apologise or delete.
If I thought he was trolling, then it would be a pretty poor and ill-advised attempt.
I met another racist tonight. They seem to be increasingly common and becoming bolder about their ill-considered opinions. Tut.

# Well, there were plenty of people on my street when I was a kid who'd use the phrase "Paki shop" without batting an eyelid, but they didn't hate anyone and wouldn't've hurt a fly.
I think it's largely just stupidity/ignorance, rather than nastiness.
That poor idiot the other night couldn't understand why he was being told off.

# i guess it can be difficult for someone to accept if something they say, or write, is pointed out
as being offensive, racist, whatever, especially if they weren't intending to be so. he may have just gone on the defensive.
i struggle with the term paki being racist as it is just a abbrieviation of pakistani. not that i use the term as it is deemed to be so.
is it contextual, or is it just a historical usage thing?

# fair enough, i didn't read it all
i just had an interesting discussion with the wife (an expert in discourse theory (she likes to believe, though has a PhD which goes someway to back it up)) and I do understand why it is offensive. It's interesting how words can have such huge values attached to them, whether intended or not

# Like 'queer', and to some extent 'nigga',
'paki' has been 'reclaimed' by some members of the sociological group to which the term has been traditionally directed.
But not every British Asian is aware of this 'reclamation', and just because some of the more radical young Asians are attempting to negate the power of the word by using it in a post-modern deconstructed way does not give licence to just anyone to continue to use it in a 'just a joke' way.
(I helped save b3ta! 4Q just lurking, Sat 21 May 2011, 3:44, archived)
# i absolutely agree.
especially with regards to using it in a "just in a joke" way.
interesting to see you wrote British Asian, i was looking earlier to see if paki was considered racist throughout the world, or whether it was particular to 70's Britain.
ididn't get far. i need a research assistant

# If i wasn't so drunk,
and it didn't take me so long to successfully type a sentence, i would like to get into this.
I'm a middle class white male who has spent a significant part of their working life in an almost exclusively 2nd generation asian male working place.
Almost all of my clientelle were 2nd gen asian, my bosses were 2nd gen asian - since i was doing graphic design for the aforementioned clientelle, my target audience was 2nd/3rd gen asian.
I can confidently say, none of them would have laughed off some sarcastic internet twat casually using 'paki' as if it didn't really mean anything these days.

# Like you two, i don't want to condemn the man,
but in retrospect, I think tramp gave him more leeway than I did (and should have) to excuse himself.
Tramp made it clear that it was the the term 'paki' and not the general thrust of the joke that was problematic but he still wouldn't/couldn't see the problem.
If he was genuinely 'anti-racist' then it wouldn't have been such a problem for him imo

Red Eye Gravy can be made with water or strong coffee. Which is best is highly debated to this day, even though the recipe probably originated during the war of 1812.
