Me too. Got all excited for a minute there
You really are astonishingly oblivious, aren’t you?
Thought by whom? Passive voice phrasing is, in this context, weasel phrasing.
I’ve probably been the strongest critic of tomndebb’s moderation in that thread, but i also said in my post:
Perhaps we shouldn’t take the opinions of acknowledged and unapologetic bigots seriously.
As long as you’re outraged somehow, that’s all that matters.
Ahh, yes, it wouldn’t be the Dope if you weren’t tagging along behind me, tail wagging and tongue lolling out of your mouth. C’mere boy, you wanna play some catch? I have our Frisbee!
To be fair to nyx, there were a lot of unsubstantiated and therefore ignorance enhancing broadsides in the linked hatefest.
I have no idea how to respond to this. Weasel phrasing? As in Elie Weasel? You wanted credit? Er, okay, I’m sorry for not linking to any of your posts. For the record, and for the benefit of everyone in this thread:
you did not find the original quotes or the black>Jew change offensive or racist.
This is, quite simply, a lie.
The quote i cited above said, very clearly, that i thought those comments were rooted in prejudice.
My argument in that thread was quite unrelated to whether the comments were offensive or racist. If you don’t understand the argument i was making, let me know and i’ll see if i can reiterate it in words on two syllables or less, and perhaps with some grunting so you get the point.
Fucking stupid twat.
I am SO glad that I clicked the links before I responded the the OP.
Dude, get a grip.
I did not mention you in the OP. I did not address you in any way. I do not know how or why that offended you, but so be it. Any offense was wholly unintentional. I’d make this more of a “if someone out there was offended” type sentence, but I honestly have no idea what got your panties so knotted. I tried to correct based on what I thought were your responses; obvious fail. Either way, lighten up, Francis.
I love rabbits…in the “so cute!” sense, not the “so tasty!” sense. I’ve never had rabbit, but I saw it prepared on an episode of Chopped. They showed the butchered bunny; I was surprised to see the amount of meat in the tail. I thought it was just a little puff of fur.
The main thing to remember about rabbits is that you need to keep them cool in the summer.
“Nyeeeeh . . . What’s up, Rebbe?”
I need 5000 dollars to keep my rabbis cool for the summer.
:mad: You ain’t never caught a rabbi, and you ain’t no friend of mine!
Turns out I’m a racist, though, since the moment I realized this was satirical was the “Jew temples in poor areas” part.
Clearly the OP is Nazi, since Jews aren’t a race.
Well, they all claim common biological descent from one ancestor, Jacob/Israel, FWIW.
It’s pretty much a sure thing that whenever you see or hear that phrase, something racist (or anti-Semitic) is going to follow.
