Sure ways to piss people off

*Call any woman fat

*Throw a black female in any body of water…because A)it’s likely she cannot swim B)she just got her hair did.

*Be stupid on the SDMB, you know we DO NOT condone ignorance in any way!

*Blame everything and I mean EVERTHING on PMS/ADD/OCD/ABC/XYZ
Come up with your own, kids!!!

Do I have to be the first to say, “start this thread” or “be the guy who posted the OP?” I’m counting the minutes 'til this thread gets closed, or at least thrown in the pit.

Tailgate someone!

What’s so bad about this thread? :confused: It’s like any other thread in MPSIMS. :rolleyes:

Yawn!!! These are so stupid.

Am I missing something, or is this as offensive as it sounds?

Yeah, I took it as some sort of meta thing going on here, i.e., the OP starts a thread about how to piss people off and includes in it something that pisses people off.

Is there some common belief that black women don’t swim well or something that the OP is playing off of? I missed the memo on that one.

I missed that memo, too, TaxGuy.

I’m a Lovely Shade of Brown[sup]TM[/sup] and I very much enjoy swimming.

hahaha KPUTT calling my post stupid…

In my area only a few black women can swim…and there are a decent amount of black women in my area.

Also, how do you know that I’m NOT black myself? I might just be.

This thread was meant to be taken lightly and with humor folks. :slight_smile:

Hey, I’m sorry that you think so highly of yourself, that everyone else is stupid. These are stupid.

Then perhaps it should have been funny.

a) Did you conduct a poll of the black women in your area?

b) so? What does your being black or white mattter? Your statement is still offensive.

c) Nice try.

Why yes, I did!

In the year 2000, in Atleastwehaveasenseofhumorville, 77% percent of African-American females admitted that they could not swim.

In that case, you should amend your second statement in the OP to read the following:

*Throw a black female from Atleastwehaveasenseofhumorville in any body of water…because A)it’s likely she cannot swim B)she just got her hair did.

I don’t get it—why is pissing someone off funny?

Well, as a white female I’m offended at the suggestion that we aren’t likely to have recently gotten our hair done did, uh done did got our hair…I mean did just got done…

Ah, screw it.

And, yeah, offensive and just odd.

I’m white, my hair is more or less wash-and-wear (ie, I don’t style it or have it styled in any way), and I would be DAMN upset if anyone threw me in a body of water. I understand that this is supposed to be funny. . . but I just don’t get that one in particular. Maybe it just strikes a nerve with me because I’ve always found throwing someone into water to be assault. . . I mean, if someone throws you into water, they’re taking away your control of your body and putting you into a dangerous situation, and though I know some people would not mind, I fail to see any humor in that.

::shrug:: Joke failed. Move on.

As a black woman, I find it very offensive.

another good way to piss people off: tell them all about themselves.

The ayes have it. This thread is off to the Pit a large pecentage of the people who’ve posted in here find it offensive. Or something like that. One of you merely finds it stupid. And apparently finds the topic starter stupid, too.
