Zeeshan, a word please?

Is “thought provoking” equivalent to “nausea inducing”?

And why wait until you die to be buried upside down? Do it now and you won’t have to worry about it later.

I wonder if it has occurred to anyone (besides me) that Zeeshan comes from a part of the world where he’s probably been called a nigger, on at least one occasion. Zeeshan, aren’t you from India or Pakistan, one of the former British colonial holdings, where pretty much anyone non-British is a “nigger”?

There are a lot of people with long sigs. Pepperlandgirl for one has an 8 line sig. Unless the mod’s want to set up an official rule for sig lengths, i don’t think it’s fair to make Zeeshan change his on length alone. If it bothers you personally then tell him, but he shouldn’t be forced to change it IMHO.

I’ve seen some people’s sig with the text shrunk. Might this be an option?

“Text shrunk” is done by including {sup}{/sub} tags (with for { } of course). That’s how mine is done.

I appreciate the intent of your original sig Zeeshan, but you were right to change it. Now, shorter would be better too.

But mainly I’m here to say that in my book defence is the correct spelling. :smiley:

Drain Bead -
Me being the blood sucking leech that I am, I would love to take advantage of your offer of quotes. I love the Flannery O’Connor quote. Mind if I use it for my sig?

BTW: I also think that this situation was handled very well by most, and I thank Zeeshan for changeing the offending word.

[hijack]
Oh my god, I just had an eureka moment. I just figured out Drain Bead’s incredibly complex name. I don’t know why I choose to share, don’t yell at me, but that was really weird.
[/hijack]

Care to share with the rest of us (i.e.: me)?

I dunno if this is incredibly obvious or wrong or irrelevant. Well, its certainly the latter. But anyway…Drain Bead = Brain Dead reworked.

A whole bunch of people are groaning and asking Just how stupid the Spider guy is, but iampunha asked me to explain what the fuck I was talking about. I am sure Drain Bead is off busting a gut somewhere. Sorry.

[hijack]
iampunha, switch the D and B at the beginning of both words.

[/hijack]

what is the [hijack] stuff all about?

Yeah i realised the fact that it would change right after i pressed the submit button so i guess that nature didn’t intend for my sig to be remembered throughout generations.And as far as Drain Beads name is concerned i mentioned it in one of my earlier posts by saying Brain Dead oops Drain Bead.Its probably on another thread.So you figure it out after me but get the credits.I guess it goes to prove that there are at least two people in this forum who are not “Brain Dead” pun not intended :smiley:
Ok i will finally change my sig so it will make my last post look silly but hey i can’t do nophin about it now…
unless…
Here you go:


When i die,Bury me upside down.
So the world can kiss my ass.

I got taken to the pit due to a thought provoking sig:
my short trial at the pit


gotcha this time.And you guys thought it would dissappear for eternity huh coldfire :D:p

pldennison is right i am Pakistani.You would know 'cos you’ve debated with me in great debates especially the nukes one.Anyway i would break someone’s teeth if they called me a nigger,though it would be funny 'cos i’m white :slight_smile: ,i do have a few black friends and enjoy telling them racist nigger jokes like:

“What do you call a black woman having an abortion?”
crime stopper :smiley:

“What do you call a nigger driving a Ferrari?”
Thief :smiley:

“What do you call a nigger crossing a Zebra Crossing?”
Now you see him-Now you don’t-Now you see him-Now you don’t-Now you see him-Now you don’t :smiley:

Well i dunno but they enjoy this stuff.Rasicm isn’t an issue where i come from.Nobody is inferior.I hope my jokes really offended you.

Ok so i will change my nick and definitely use the sub tag.
I think this is a good sig.

[sub]can you read this?[/sub]
Hey by the way:
BRITISH:
defence
AMERICAN:
defense

This successfully proves that America’s forefather’s were poor spellers.

its when you’re saying something unrelated to the discussion.

FWIW, not ten seconds after I posted that I figured out what it means . . . or at least what y’all said it means.

So, DB, does it mean that? Or were we reading into it incorrectly?

Yes, you got the basic gist of it. Of course, there’s a bit more to it than that–it stems from an inside joke so old that I’ve practically forgotten what it was about.

  1. I hope you meant to say “don’t” instead of “really” . . .

  2. America’s forefathers, from what I know, which ain’t much, came from Europe, and in some cases from England. Other than that, I’m not touching that statement, other than to hazard a guess that a good number of them were probably more intelligent than you are.

:stuck_out_tongue:

Gee whiz, Zeeshan, I was just about to congratulate you on being such a good sport about changing the sig, when you go and toss a bunch of dumb racist jokes into the thread. I’m going to assume you’re just giving one final twitch to our chain before dropping the subject, right? I mean, you do want to fit in here, right? And I thought you were actually doing a pretty good job, so far.

Personally, I was going to object to the sig, not because it had the word “nigger” in it, but because I was pretty sure some other poster was already using it in HIS sig, at least the first lines, up to “kill them all and you’re a god” or whatever it is.

Or maybe it was just yours I remembered seeing, but before you added the two lines about “white man” and “nigger”?

I like the old sig.
Anyone who thought it was really a racist sig scares me, as that implies they do accept without blinking that to kill all makes one divine.

Hey guys thanks for the insults :smiley:
I added the rascist jokes 'cos my black friends think they’re funny.I dunno about you guys but all the black dudes i know are pretty cool and i never mind anything they say.I wasn’t trying to be rascist,i was just trying to see the reaction i get and in the process explain that this rascism thing is not due to words but the context and the user.I hope everyone agree’s.
P.S i know some really good fat momma jokes too :smiley: I hope i didn’t offend any fat momma’s out there,or any fat momma defenders who will instantaneously insinuate that i am now an asshole who makes fun of other people’s disabilities.

What i am trying to say and what i have really been trying to say all along is that its not words,its the context in which you use the damn words.My sig was an anti-rascist sig.Just read it on the top of this thread and think about it.The word is used in the context of exposing rascism against blacks.I guess that is just not appreciated or understood here.I agree that someone who might not get the meaning of the sig would naturally be offended and hence i removed it since majority is authority and if something bugs many people then there is a big chance that it will bother more.I don’t wanna be called a rascist 'cos everyone who knows me would testify that i am a not a rascist,by the way they might also add that i am a super handsome chick magnet :smiley:
Thanx for liking the old sig foolsguinea.At least someone liked it.
Bye
Zeeshan

Zeeshan, you are misinterpreting at least what I said. I am definatly not accusing you of being a racist. It’s just that that word may offend some people. I represents the oppression of the African-(fill in the blank) race, and the time when they were slaves to white people. Therefore, no matter how Anti-racist a white person, or any other color of person, may be, the use of that word can still be offensive. It’s my personal choice for me not to use that word.
