Personally, I follow John Stuart Mill's philosophy

"The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilised community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others."

How is this choice by burdy harming anyone except himself?

YOU really are creating more drama where there needn't be any, Jigga - nobody ever said "personal attacks are OK" - as was pointed out in your sifttalk, the FAQ clearly states that those types of comments "may be deleted". Whereas hobbling was never meant to be a means to combat someone commenting in a way us diamonds don't like, and MG himself admitted he shouldn't have hobbled budzos. Seriously, mate you really should've at least left that matter be.

*long

Oh look, burdy's a hypocrite. Who'd'a'thunk it.

DON'T BE A DOUCHE! - can't that become our new policy on stuff like this?

Poor Jigga

Why can't he be a PC nazi if Burd can be a real nazi?

^I really don't think this makes burdy a hypocrite.

For example, I will usually object to being called foul names by people that have showed they don't like me, however, I can then PWN them and then further taunt them and add to their humiliation by referring to myself in the derogatory term they initially used, say, 'pussy'. Would that make me a hypocrite? I don't think so.

If I don't like you bringing this up, I shouldn't comment?

Wtf sense does that make.

(sniff) I smell a sockpuppet.

Well THAT username is no longer available.

There is too much outrage here. Don't feed the trolls, and they will stop by themselves.

Apparently niggers get banned here.

Peace, nigger!

Your post is a SLAP IN THE FACE!

I'm personally offended by anyone who uses the term "pussy". I take it as an inference that felines are meek or powerless, which is not true. From this point forward, I will raise a stink about it.

JiggerJohnson,

burdy's taking these not-so-subtle actions in protest. If you don't agree with him, the best thing to do is ignore them. Bringing them to light draws attention to his protest and may serve to fuel his views.

Did you ask him politely to change it?

I'd like to say something about how Jigga's ass is too tight but he'd probably start a goddamn thread about that. Jigga, nobody is asking you to be the language police. Step down.

EDIT: And as for the issue at hand.. I think it's in poor taste, but fair play.

But does burdy suck dick left and right?

Bitterturgler isn't a hypocrite, he's just all butthurt about QM not getting banned. So be it!

He paid for his charter privileges, he gets to choose his personal subdomain name.

N*gger dick!

I'm not a fan of how easily we're throwing around the n word on here. I wanted to go on record saying it doesn't make me happy in the least.

Don't say nigger - but "suck my dick left and right" every other comment?

Ok.

This is the place to say it, apparently - and it seems once one person has used it openly everyone else feels comfortable doing so! Plus I'm black so it's okay.

I didn't make a rule against you saying it. I was just adding my preference that I'd personally prefer for it to not be batted around as easily as other words, is all. Don't think of this as me climbing on a soapbox. You can freely ignore me, of course, and suck my dick left and right.

Respect.

I like Jigga. I like Burdy. This kind of insanity has to have a stopping place though. This is a place where most of us respect everyone's opinion. Jigga I think you're cool as hell and really smart, but I do feel you're wound up too tightly lately. I feel like people are going to start yelling communist soon... and when they do I am running for the hills....

I feel like I'm back in elementary school...

Left and right.

>> ^rasch187:

They sucked dicks left and right in your elementary school? Damn...

I think this was mentioned in the other post but...what's wrong with sucking dick?

>> ^EndAll:

It just seemed a bit odd and slightly hypocritical coming from someone who is usually quite vulgar. But yeah, I see nothing wrong with the sucking of dicks, in either direction.

Like sand through the hourglass, so passes the videosift of our lives.

(that's a soap opera reference, for those who have better things to do at 11:00am.)

Luckily I never typed "the n word." I typed "nigger."

*phew*

"... where do we draw the line exactly?"
That's a good question.

For the record .. I suck dick up and down.

Oh come on...somebody had to post it.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

My 2 cents. I don't see any real racism in this thread - I see people trying to be shocking and attention grabbing. Words don't have the power to make someone a racist- only intentions, but sometimes it's hard to determine intention in text comments. For the most part, I'm ignoring any hobble bait posted in this thread - and giving a single chiding admonition. Don't be lame.

when did videosift turn into this?

I'm out for awhile...let me know when this carnage is over.

FWIW - I don't like the n-word either. It's unnecessary and vulgar. I'd be happy to see it go. I like burdturgler - we see eye to eye on alot of things methinks. In this case though, I'm with the jig...I mean Jigga.

Words are terrible. Let's ban them all. From now on I'll merely mime my comments on Videosift.

Who's up for Charades?!

Is it okay to say cunt? I really like that word...

As in;

What a cunt!
I want to feel your cock in my cunt!
You damned cunt!
Has anyone seen my cunt?
Excuse me, you wouldn't happen have an extra cunt, would you?
Cunt cunt cunt cunt cuntity cunt.
My cunt is hot.
My cunt is cold.
I'm a cunt.
Did you see that cunt?

I'd prefer he didn't use that subdomain but... I think he's doing it to provoke thought, not to degrade.

The main reason I like this place is because it provokes thought - I'd hate to see that discouraged.

Can I get any of you cunts a drink?

No one else choking on the fact that a guy who named himself Jigga is worried 'bout us po niggers?

I have no problem with using the third instance. As Dag stated earlier most uses of this word on the internet are merely people begging for attention.

Hence my little play on words above.
