"Your MOTHER Trebek!

This puts me in mind of the How I Met Your Mother version of Canada.

Me too, and Fidelito said as clear as day, "Elaine!"

*Sean Connery voice: "Your MOTHER, Trebek!

If you had watched the video, you would know that it had clearly not been edited.

But again, you didn't, so you don't.

Anyway, here we go.

First of all, all that wage gap bullshit? Yeah, read this: http://www.consad.com/content/reports/Gender%20Wage%20Gap%20Final%20Report.pdf

Oh, and that violence-against-women bullshit? I'm going to need a citation on that.

Also, I'm sorry about your mother, but one anecdote does not mean that feminism suddenly makes sense. I've been physically and mentally abused by more female teachers than I can count on one hand, but I'm not going to use that to claim that women are somehow evil.

It's all a big misunderstanding, in cat, two fingers says something vulgar about your mother. Stick your tongue between those fingers and you'll be lucky if he doesn't buzzsaw your face clean off.

So Zimmerman should NOT have followed Trayvon. Period. That caused the whole mess. Not sure how the legal system works there but that should have translated to manslaughter or assault with a weapon...dunno excatly.

ok that said what KEEPS killing me is the picture of smiling 12 year old Trayvon that the media (even the Turks) keep using. In many countries he's be old enough to be a father and hold a full time job, yes 17 is a young age but it is NOT a kid. (I'm thinking 12 and under as a kid)

Lastly I know some conceal carry courses (if not all) teach that NO MATTER WHAT YOU WANT TO AVOID PULLING YOUR GUN OUT.

You avoid confontation at all costs.

Your mother is a whore? ok no problem. Your GF sucks all the dicks in the world, ok. NOT a reason to pull a weapon.

Teaching the value of (human) life is paramount for all parents these days.

Staged or not, the subtitles speak the sobering truth of the planet at-large. The difference between a kid with a head full of sports statistics and one abreast of regional religious extremes and government abuse is the difference between growing-up watching cartoons and playing XBOX and being raised amidst the sounds of mortars and helping your mother raise your siblings while dad is out chewing Khat and talking Muslim smack with his buddies.

What we need is an immediate alternative to fossil fuels in the form of unlimited free power and a worldwide routing of all assholes who hold the power now-In the next world war, the blood in the streets should only be blue.

If your mother knew how to keep her legs together whenever she got a whiff of chedda, we wouldn't have to read your ignorant com... oh wait.

Words that would upset me: You have testicular cancer. Or, your child is dead. Or, your mother was raped.

I'm so funny! hehe

My mother is a biology teacher and all my life she's shown me how fascinating the natural world is. It's become a real interest for me and shapes the way I live my life. When I got married my wife and I went to kenya on safari and saw some of the most beautiful and incredible wildlife. I remembered seeing lions and elephants in the zoo with my mother telling me all about them, to see them for real in the wild was mind blowing. I vividly remember how much my mother would love to see Africa. She could make the creepy crawlies under a rotting log fascinating, I just thought how wonderful lions, leopards and so on would be for her.

She's worked hard all her life and provided very well for my brother and I, we had a great upbringing and great opportunities but they never left enough for themselves. So last year my wife and I took her to Zambia. Highlight of the trip was tracking a lioness on foot and getting to within about fifty yards of it. Being able to share the experience with her was awesome. We're lucky enough to be able to afford it and it's the best money I've ever, ever spent.

If you can, you really should spoil your mother. They deserve it

Deuteronomy 13:6-9

6 “If your brother, your mother’s son, or your son or daughter, or the wife [a]you cherish, or your friend who is as your own soul, entice you secretly, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods’ (whom neither you nor your fathers have known, 7 of the gods of the peoples who are around you, near you or far from you, from one end of the earth to the other end), 8 you shall not yield to him or listen to him; and your eye shall not pity him, nor shall you spare or conceal him. 9 But you shall surely kill him; your hand shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

There's little misinterpreting that either.

Extremely rough translation;

its going to hit him.
look at it, look how it is.
He needs to turn immediatey.
Idiot!
curse? Something about Mother?
He is going to hit/push him.
Ohhh the mother.
Ohhh your mother.

hmm, I guess most people could translate this much anyways. lol.

Indeed, looks like a Mercedes W123. As solid as a Nokia, perfect to run over your mother-in-law.

@gorillaman -- all good points.

Except... except... except.... we do live in a sexist society. Are we the MOST sexist society? Absolutely not.

But in the CONTEXT of a sexist society, IF the words man and boy are NOT interchangeable, then we need an understanding why it is okay for women and girl to be completely interchangeable.

The number of syllables doesn't cut it for me. Not given the CONTEXT of the sexist nature of our society.

Which gets us back to the use of "boy" for a black man.

You are too young to know this, but it was absolutely the norm to call a black man "boy". It wasn't until the men said no more, do not denigrate me like that, got mad about it, invoked Black Power and Black is Beautiful that it became not okay to call a black man a boy.

Some women got mad back in the 70s and 80s, and it changed some. It is waaaay better than it used to be.

We agree. Context is everything. You seem to have missed my acknowledgement that I personally use the word boy and girl for adults in some circumstances. However, as much as you are asking me to see your context, which I have acknowledged in general, I don't see much movement on your part to allow that maybe, just maybe, I have a valid point of view. Black and white thinking isn't the path to new understanding on anyone's part.

There is no absolute right and wrong. I am not wrong. Neither are you absolutely right, although yes, there is a generational thing. There was no grrrl power in the 70s and 80s. That word has been reclaimed to a certain extent.

You mentioned popular music and how prevalent the word "girl" is. So are the words bitches, hos, and a whole slew of words you would never use to describe your girlfriend or your mother.

I guess we have come to an end to this experiment. Although I do encourage you to keep this experiment on the back burner of your mind. And continue to ask yourself -- why is okay to call an adult woman a girl with great regularity but we don't do that to adult men.

I guarantee you it isn't the presence of an extra syllable. Sometimes that is true. But for the pervasiveness of it, that just rationally, scientifically and socially doesn't cover the situation.

Thanks for playing! It has been way fun!
