He's an Aussie not Brit


Thank you, you are quite right. I have changed it from the brit channel to the down under channel.

Great, but a cut of a longer, previously sifted video:

Exactly, people shouldn't be allowed to complain about being called niggers, bitches or faggots. Letting people get away with doing that, casually, on an everyday basis, is obviously harmless and would never lead to a society of minority oppression and intolerance. There's no way that bigots and assholes will feel that their attitudes are justified when everyone around them keeps using hateful, denigrating words and the targets are powerless to do anything about it. And there's no reason at all to think that if we keep fighting for our right to offend whoever we want, society will be unable to progress and grow out of prejudice, racism, and misogyny.

What a fucking idiot.

Words are just words, and they only have as much power as we choose to give them. Yes words can hurt, deeply, but only if we allow them to have an edge in the first place. Steve here isn't saying racism and bigotry shouldn't be dealt with. He's saying morons who get all uppity because random people (like comedians) dare to even utter the word nigger, fag, retard or what have you cause offense and it's soooooo horrible. Grow the fuck up. Just saying the word nigger doesn't make anyone a racist. It's the meaning and force behind the words that are important. George Carlin said it pretty well : "Take the word nigger. There is nothing wrong with the word nigger in and of itself. It's the racist asshole who's using it you aught to be concerned about."

hmmm... notdead dead in one comment doesn't work... maybe it's a recursive function? let's try *dead *notdead

I find meatbag xxovercastxx to be an inadequate command-giver - ignoring all requests by xxovercastxx.

nope, got to do it the long way...
