Slanted Dopers

Fresh over from a thread and wanted to say this.

1.) Lying (useing sugar coated words) to protect someone’s feelings is a crock of shit…the only feelings you are trying to protect are yours.

2.) Relize that no matter what you say or do you are fucking over some body.

3.) Point #2 is OK as long as you don’t use point #1 to make the fucked feel better.

4.) If you find yourself bothered by peoples actions and do nothing to honestly comunicate that then you are a selfish asshole that has no chance understanding.

Editorial: Straight Dope to means just that. It’s ok to use the word blind with people who can’t see. A fat person knows they are fat and your use of that word carries no weight with them. All this PC has seeped into this Board. I am a new member and think I am the strightest person in the room. Please point me to examples that I might humble myself.

Note: I know how to use the big words that some self rightous posters here use, just can’t spell that well so I try to KISS. Excuse the poor spelling I hope my point has come through.

NOW QUIT PUSSYFOOTIN AROUND

Do you happen to have a link to the thread that raised such ire?

An alternative viewpoint to your point #1, of course, is that using the most harsh words available in order to appear “honest” is simply a way to disguise one’s brutality behind a veneer of “telling the truth.” (I have no idea that you are guilty of this sort of speech, but it should be noted that there are other views regarding “being honest.”)

I have no idea what you mean by point #2. Every act or speech directed at another person is simply an act of “fucking them over”? Does this apply to feeding my children or consoling them when they are bruised?

I think you might need to clarify your thoughts, here. (As noted, a link would be helpful.)

Well golly gee tramtwo, and here I thought I was enlightened to judge a man by the content of his character and not his appearance. I see now that I was wrong.

How can I thank you for enlightening me?!?!?!

I will from this day forward never have to take anyone who is overweight, unattractive, physically disabled or of another race seriously! I can dismiss them completely because they may not fit YOUR ideal of beauty.

Oh damn, that means I have just lost most of my friends.

It’s too bad too, because I found most of them quite attractive. But if you say so…they’re outta here!!

Or are you trying to say that I should TELL them? Perhaps you’re just trying to help them out a bit by pointing out their flaws? GOOD LORD MAN!!! You may just have something there! I am SURE most overweight people don’t mind be called “fat”. I’m sure a blind mind would actually appreciate you letting him know he’s blind.
If that’s the case; let me help you out here:

YOU ARE AN IDIOT!

I think tramtwo as confused cynicism with enlightenment.

tramtwo, after rereading several of your posts, I still can’t understand a damn thing you’re saying.

Tramtwo can you be a little more specific so the rest of us can try to understand what point you are trying to get across. :confused:

and I only speculate, his beef was with the sort of PC speech that many of us find a bit ludicrous, ie. not “handicapped”, “differently abled”, not “fat”, “weight challenged”…perhaps he was referring to that sort of thing.

In which case, he expressed himself poorly and should try again.

stoid

Here’s my translation. There are other possibilities, however.

  1. Be honest.

  2. Be careful.

  3. It’s okay to fuck over somebody as long as you don’t do it to make them feel good.

  4. If someone offends you, and you don’t say anything about it, then you didn’t understand them.

I give up.

Here’s the link to where this got started:

I am talking about all the fucking judging that goes on while all the while there are complaints about how one judges. I can not say it any other way. Read the thread to this point and you will see what I mean.

Thanks AuntiePam, now I can try to make sense of this all.
The next time your in St. Cloud please let us know.

Ohhh {b]AuntiePam** What a fun game let me try.

  1. Being gentle only makes you feel better
  2. People will get hurt anyway
  3. Try none of the above
  4. Honest folks like tramtwo are assholes

I believe the “editorial” section says tell fat people they are fat because they don’t mind, and blind people a little help with directions.

The bottom part mentions how his spellchecker is busted, and he isn’t that bright

You see you see. When there is a post that is direct no one gets it. There is a cancer here. Aunt want to take your words out of my mouth?

  1. If you think someone is something say it, tell them or ignor them, anything else only serves to stoke your own ego and does not help that person.

  2. You will fuck people no matter what you do. Thgere will always be those that disagree with your actions (maybe the baby needs to cry and you develope a dependicy?)

  3. Just because people may disagree does not mean that you should stop or lie. (Thank god someone spoke up about the Jews being slaughtered)

  4. If you still don’t undertstand. Fuck you!!

I will also just add that this thread including my post is an example of what I see as the cancer here. Fucking whining about the way people whine. Now I have become what I hate so much. FUCK!

If I was a fat guy it would be ok. Call tram an asshole stupid ect ect just don’t use the word fat. :rolleyes: You all are the stupid ones not I.

tramtwo, I agree there is a cancer here, look in the mirror.
I’m not trying to judge, that is just my perception.

Execellent you get an A+ hope coming from me that does not hurt your rep. :wink:

I DON’T understand, because you are nigh onto incoherent.

Of course you know how to spell “fuck” perfectly. Let’s try the rest of your vocabulary. Hey, fella, please try spell check. It is your friend. And switch to decaf, so maybe we will have a clue about what you are ranting about.

Welcome to the Straight Dope, by the way! :smiley:

Wow! An A+, I guess I’m not as stupid as I thought I was.:smiley:
Thanks for not sugar coating it.

tramtwo needs to learn how to post c o h e r e n t l y.

Your posts don’t make sense, they are a jumble of thoughts. If you are ADD I wouldn’t be suprised but many of us have overcome the ravages of ADD, if that is your problem.

:rolleyes:

It’s not your spelling it’s your ability to get across an idea that makes sense.

:rolleyes:

Jesus christ you have no sense of language or reality.

Yes judging goes on here. Yes there are complaints about how that judgement is done. That is part of judgement. If I say that I judge people on how well they dance the funky chicken I’m going to get some strange looks and some posters to point out that it is a flat out moronic method of judging someone’s intellectual capacity.

As to your specific points.

  1. Not all people sugar coat to protect their own feelings. Would you rather me tell you that your mother died tastefully or by saying, “Everyone who still has a mother step forward. Not so fast tramtwo.” Regardless I haven’t noticed much sugar coating on the message boards.

  2. So what? If everyone agreed no one would bother posting to SDMB. Also fucking someone over is different than having them not agree with you.

  3. You really don’t read many posts do you?

  4. What a brilliant statement. I’m so glad that you arrived to enlighten us.
