Louis CK: "Faggot"

schlub says...

I've never used "faggot" to refer to a gay person - more of a generic derogatory term to describe someone who cuts me off on the highway driving his huge POS american car, for example. That, and bundles of sticks of course.

Police Militarization in Anaheim, CA

legacy0100 says...

I'm with Lantern53, who has already mentioned all the obvious points I wanted to make.

I also would like to add that it's always difficult to know whether if someone is actively promoting hate speech or just expressing an opinion when you're on internet, like here in VideoSift when you witness a post actively calling to kill a person using derogatory terms.

I'm a tolerant person and I hate racism, but there are very few things in the world that boil my piss as much as fucking pikies. What a bunch of assholes. Their whole way of life seems to revolve around a great big fuck you to everyone else.

Lucky for you, then, "pikey" is a derogatory term for poor people. Racism averted!


It may be where you come from, but here it's a pretty specific term for exactly this type of person. You try living near this sort of shit and see how tolerant you can be. I use the term because it differentiates these morons from the peaceful travellers they claim to be. The travellers do exist, but these guys are pikies.

Income Inequality and Bank Bonuses

heropsycho says...

They're not just focusing on income inequality or ownership of resources. Just because one clip focuses on it doesn't mean that the entire movement is fixated on one stat. There are a lot of stats the left are focused on, such as unemployment to name another. And it's not a stupid statistic to focus on. If there is too much stratification of wealth, and there is such a thing, then what other statistic would illustrate that it's gotten out of hand?! For the good of the economy, for everyone across the income range, if the rich possess too much wealth, there won't be enough people with money to purchase goods and services being produced. This hasn't a thing to do with the little orphans you helped in Mexico.

Is it being trumped to the point it's being played like an emotional dagger instead of being analyzed rationally? Of course. But come on, if you're gonna sit there and say that only the left is guilty of that, then you're being partisan. How is raising the marginal tax rate on the super rich a few percentage points "communist" or even "socialist" on an objective scale? Or even using those words to elicit a knee jerk reaction by people to say it's bad just because of the word instead of rationally discussing the policy? Or when anyone suggests raising taxes on the rich, it's automatically "class warfare"? Or you using derogatory terms like "NeoProgLibNaziCommunistSocialist" blah? Give me a break.

And yes, some wealth stratification is good. You want the people who work hard or are more talented to have more income. It keeps incentives in the system. I have no problem with that. But you're pretending that the income gap between super rich and poor is static, which misses the entire point. It's not static. It fluctuates. We're too the point now where it's getting absurd to the point that it's hurting the economy. You're also pretending that the stats only illustrate the gap between the super-rich and the poor, and that's not the case. The stats are showing the gap between the rich and everyone else, including middle class, which is being decimated.

You have very little patience when you hear a college-age son's of yuppies whining about they only earn $30K/yr for their liberal art major degree? What about me, the son of a solid middle class family who got one of those horrible liberal art degrees (Master's in Education, Bachelor's in History, Minor in International Studies) and got a "fake job" as a history teacher in a public school? Are you kidding me with this? (BTW, what a good person you are to say whose jobs are of value and whose aren't!) What I did for a living for four years combined produced less value than a commodities trader did in one year, whose job is essentially speculation that artificially drives up prices on the things they trade? You don't find something extremely absurd about that?

Let's do the math. At those salaries, a public school teacher is producing less than 10% of the value of what a commodities trader does, and a commodities trader isn't even required to have a college degree, and we're not even including the better benefits and bonuses. I'm not naive enough to think a public school teacher would ever be paid that well, but when the gap is getting wider, and wider, and wider, and you're seeing a public school teacher's benefits getting reduced, particularly retirement, I'm sorry, but something is horribly wrong here. The market is failing to address a basic societal problem. I'm not advocating a state controlled economy (aka Communism) to even it out. I'm advocating the gov't make it moderately more equal by raising the rich's taxes, and ease up on the poor and middle class. Tax capital gains like it's income, subject to the same brackets, etc.

>> ^Winstonfield_Pennypacker:

Or is that a typo for "ProgLibDytes"
As with "neolibs" it is a word of my own creation which I used to describe the crazed, hardcore, insane left-wing liberal denizens of the world. Neolib was my default for a long time, but lately the vitriol of the left has gotten so prone to hate, anger, and insanity that I have moved to defaulting with "ProgLibDyte" to describe them. It is perfect because it is so close to "Troglidyte" (cave dweller) and covers "Progressives" and "Liberals" together. ProgLibDytes. Cave dwelling political liberals and progressives. Brevity is the soul of wit.
Which one should we obsess over?
How about not picking just one, and looking at all of them - or at least a LOT of them? Regardless, examining only the gap between the ultra-rich and the poor is about one of the stupidest metrics one could examine when it comes to economics. It means absolutely nothing in terms of either real income, economic trending, or any other meaningful metric. Such a myopic stat serves only one purpose, and that is to angry up the blood of the lower class.
There are always going to be really rich people who have so much money that they could eat gold bricks and crap diamonds. These guys are always going to exist in the same nation as people so poor they scrape the very bottom of the economic barrel. The difference between the top 0.1% and the bottom 5% is utterly meaningless. It is pure nonsense to get mad about the difference between Bill Gates and the guy who pumps gas. It tells nothing about anything.
I personally donate my time to help the poor. I've helped the poorest of the poor in US cities and I thought I knew what 'poor' was. Then I volunteered to help little towns in Mexico. When kids and widows weep in your arms just because you came to them with a few bags of cement to put a small concrete slab in thier one room dirt-shanty then you know you've hit the real thing.
In the US, even those who live in so-called 'poverty' have cars, TVs, homes, cable, internet, clothes, and money to spend at McDonalds on a lark. So I have very little patience when I hear college-age son's-of-yuppies whining about the fact that they only earn $30K a year (with benefits) for thier liberal-art's major compared to Wall-Street guys (who are actually performing a real job) earning 300K plus cash bonuses. Boo-freaking-hoo.

Don't Say Gay! - the (literally) Hard Hitting PSA

westy says...

This video communicates that its better to be Physically violent than to use a word that is often used as derogatory slang against a minority.

The whole trying to ban people from saying the word "GAY" in this context is stupid and totally pointless.

Children need to be educated that homosexuals are not bad and homosexual and gay or any consensual relationship is fine , but trying to ban words directly will simply make them more strong as words to use as an insult.

There is also no issue with the word "gay" being used to describe something that's broken annoying or idiotic So long as the person using the word is not using it as a derogatory term against homosexuals.

Seems like people also need to be educated about the importance of context in language and the history of the word "Retard" , or "spazstic" and how efforts in the UK to ban the usage of specific words and the renaming of minorities or support groups to avoid idiots using them as insults is futile.

having said all that its worth having a conversation with children so they know that homosexuals and closet homosexuals can be offended by you using the word "gay" even if its not meant in a derogatory way and that using the word can in the minds of others align you with idiots that use the word in a derogatory fashion.

Editing of this video was good considering it was made by a young student however it fails to be constructive against the issue at hand.

Getting students to make vidoes like this although a good lessoin in midea production , is not the most productive way to aproach this issue , lessons need to be had were from a young age children are thought empathy and the diversity of sexuality.

The method used by this teacher should be the defult method of teaching for young kids and would likely reduce bullying and singaling out of minorities and the use of derogatory terms against people.

Observe The Wild Guido Mating Dance In It's Natural Habitat

demon_ix says...

My understanding of the term is generally referring to the throngs of identicle-looking spiky-haired muscle-building fake-tanning douchebags that flock to beaches in New Jersey.

While not intended as a racial slur against Italians specifically, it is intended as a derogatory term against whatever these morons choose to call themselves, as I doubt they restrict their population to any specific minority.
