Which one? The only “loaded\*” one is pockmarked(unless you have strong feelings about airborne or fuck or reject or Jack the Ripper or victim). I mean it can’t be $4 or flying…  
It’s a word. It describes a condition. Why should **Sampiro** or anyone else watch his words on the off chance it might offend you? Seriously, I think you are taking this too much to heart. You truly now hate him and want him to burn in hell because he used a common English adjective? :dubious: I mean this without snark, I really do–I hope you find your way. ☹

\*I don’t consider it loaded at all.

Uh, excuse me, but why _shouldn’t_ you care about prostitutes? Lets face it, they’re not exactly holding down a “good job” (in most cases) and tend to be “silent” victims of crimes (beatings, drugs, etc.).

Common English adjective , eh, Nigger, Queer, Fag, Spic, Raghead… those are all words. What do they mean? Why should I watch my words? It might offend someone? Oh well. Deal with it.

Near as I can tell you’re saying Aunt Jemima is a half Latino lesbian. You really could pick a better way of saying it though. Such as just “Aunt Jemima is a half Latino lesbian (not that there’s anything wrong with that)”.

Oh, so hyperbolic descriptors are okay then? Super. I hope that stupid cunt known as **Sampiro** realizes he’s washed up and put out to dry.

Yes I know he has friends here who will kill me to the quick. I don’t care, really.

None of those are common English adjectives. 😕 At least not where I come from. All of the above words have only one use and that is to slur someone else.

Which word is it that you are having such a hard time about? Pockmarked is an adjective. I’ll grant you that most people don’t use it in common conversation (due to the paucity of their vocabulary), but this is the first time I’ve come across it as being the equivalent to Nigger or Fag etc. I am still somewhat 😕 that you would equate the two. You seem to sling cunt around with no problem. I find it offensive, but I’m not about to condemn you to hell or call you names because you used it. I don’t know these scary **Sampiro** friends. Is it the gay Mafia? Dude’s a librarian with weird southern relatives. Harmless, really.

I don’t even consider pockmarkedness a deformity!

Sometimes I feel like I’ve entered some weird alternative universe where people look for offense behind every word or phrase and ordinary communication is now a landmine for those who have a large vocabulary. (how is acne-scarred any better? Gah).

The man’s practically got a fetish for the taste of shoe leather (Remember his gaffe about Obama at the beginning of the primary season?), the fact that he actually got the story out without screwing it up and saying something like, **“The only reason the Republicans like you, Governor, is that you’ve got tits and shoot guns.”** at one point is something of a minor miracle.

If he said that, I might actually vote for him. I disagree with his liberal policies, but that kind of candor is sorely lacking in the political world.

This election has become such a clusterfuck, I can’t even care anymore. My vote is decided, and I’m ignoring the rest of the whining from all sides.

Time to pay attention to the local and state races, which are much more important in the real world…

I’m going to guess the offending adjective is “UGLY”, 'cause it’s the only subjective descriptor in the field.

That, or “THURSDAY”. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

I got the impression the “old” part was referring not to you, but to the alleged Jack The Ripper victim reject, seeing as how Jack was operating 120 years ago.

Recently unearthed evidence has revealed that Jack TR was almost certainly an insane Polish, Jew who spent the rest of his days in an asylum.

So its pretty clear that your reference to him was a thinly veiled racist attack on Polish Jews everywhere and those especially living in England,so it was also a tirade of extremly hurtful abuse against us Limeys aswell.

Not to mention the implied denigration of the Sanity Deficient.  
Psychopathic serial killers are people too you know.

Look you’ve got your own country now, get over it.

You can even stop pretending to like that foul muck all you Yanks drink and get back to the real thing,its all right you’ve made your point,water under the bridge O.K.?

I really am seriously disappointed in you **SAmp** I must admit that I really did expect better from you.

And turning to other matters up thread I must agree that asking peoples opinions in a Bait and Tackle shop about economics is completely absurd.  
You obviously get a much more informed opinion from the local Pet Store.

The post about Dopers only being able to ridicule Republican annecdotes because we’re limp wristed,liberal,tree hugging panty waists,yes even here in England,especially here in England as we too are part of the worldwide secret conspiracy of Kaftan wearers…

May I remind all people everywhere that THE Republican anecdote is that McCain was a P.O.W. several decades ago in Vietnam.

I’m sure that theres an original CroMagnon man frozen in suspended animation in left over Glacial ice deep within a Siberian tunnel system who hasn’t heard this and marvelled at it yet.

Lucky man,I envy him when the thaw comes!

God I am SOOObored at the Mo.
