jazman Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I learned a new word the other day - I only mention it because I've been looking for a word that conveys this most annoying behavior. "prig" one who offends or irritates by observance of proprieties (as of speech or manners) in a pointed manner or to an obnoxious degree It's one thing to be offended by something when it's directed specifically towards you in a negative manner, but it's an entirely different thing to complain when it has nothing to do with you in the first place and wasn't even meant to be taken negatively. In fact, I would argue that such priggish behavior is the most extreme form of racism! Paraphrased: "Take the stick out of your butt and feel free to beat yourself with it. Don't forget to take a shower afterwards" (man I love that quote - can't remember who said it though) DrWho(DrWhat), As usual, you don't know the difference between sh!t and Shinola. If someone's behavior, intentional or not, is harmful to another, to stand by and do nothing is totally the wrong course of action. It would be more reasonable, that when harmful behavior was pointed out, an acknowledement would be made, a lesson could be learned, and corrected behavior would be the new course of action. Nothing seems further from the truth in this thread. As I stated before. Go to any major corporations human resources manager and ask if the term used is considered an ethnic slur. Definitely would not be behavior to be excused with "lighten up", have a glass of wine, etc. It's been a great lesson for me as to the mindset of the majority membership contributing here. I spent much time and effort in years past working for equal opportunity and removal of social, political, and econmic barriers for not only minority people, but all people. This is a benchmark which clearly indicates how closed minds, and lack of awareness are the rule. Further, this is a great reminder of how much work still remains to be done. You ticked me off so badly that I had to edit this. Klipsch out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, thank you very much. You know, I feel so bad about this,.......... I am going to sell my Luxmans. I just don't feel worthy anymore.[] The last time I had this much fun on the forum was when me and BS Button were giving Dr. Cullison h*ll about shooting his Cornscala dbb's gloss black. (his dbb's, the inside of his garage, himself, his wifes car and half of GA. )[] Never knew that being an insensitive and unaware red-neck would be so entertaining.[] However, I can't take all the credit. BEC should get recognition due for adding fuel to the fire on the front end. tc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrWho Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 lol, I love people with double standards - especially when they preach about enlightening the world. Maybe one day I'll learn to see the differences between races too! For now I'll not complain about my feewings being huwt, nor will I complain about fairness in an unfair world. There are much more important issues to worry about - like getting scooter the best amp for his HT! Speaking of which, did you ever get around to hearing that amp? I must have missed the review if you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS Looks like all the rednecks jumped in on this one. Dont leave me out! <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> The outlier here is the Duke. Now here is a full scale yankee and surely he has been informed of proper ethnic/racial labeling credentialed solely by his geographical residence. Oopps. Was I being insensitive? I was trying to sound intelligent with all the long words in that run-on sentence. I know plenty of other long words like firetruck, chickenwing, dawgbone, crawdead, etc. Oh yeah. I took some serious harassment out of fun when I spray painted my dbbs. Unknowingly, I also spray painted every ****in thing in the garage including my wifes car, my sons toys and my lungs. I coughed up oysters for two weeks. Rust-o-leum out jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may need some help, so here try this one: "If Duke took a Viagra, he'd just get taller." See how nicely that gets your point across. Now you try.
