QUOTE (leik oh em jeez! @ Monday, Jul 9 2012, 14:49) people shouldn't look for things to be overly sensitive about. ironic statement coming from you...

Right. Because I'm always the one crying about how all of my history is spit on when someone utters a single word, I'm always the one taking words as having some deeper meaning to me that no one else understands. No.
I'm not the one fighting people over what words they choose to use. I'm not the one crying over it and looking for pity.

But I suppose at this time you're all out of arguments so making some obscure comment that can't really be proved right or wrong is all you've got left to make you feel like you've won something. Way to go.

QUOTE

The entire premise of an insult is to cut deep. Some people dish it but cant take it. These idiots were those people. Everybody loses.

Exactly.

[niko bellic half brother]

Why this is even up for debate astonishes me.

Just because she said the N word, she gets her face beat in? I don't care if it was a racial slur, she made a VERBAL attack, and these thugs respond with a vicious PHYSICAL attack.

And people are debating this?

This world is f*cked......

wow. do you hear yourself?
this is pathetic.

all you have done in this thread since I made my original comment was get your panties in a bunch about these words. "whore" versus "n*gger."
you're the only one who has been over sensitive.
you're the only one looking for a fight where no fight exists.

I said that one of these words is a little worse than the other. because it is. simple as that. most people left the comment alone because most people know the truth. but you simply couldn't deal with that reality and had to start arguing as if there was anything to argue about, taking every point I made completely out of context and ignoring the numerous examples I provided.

and now you've resorted to classic displacement; trying to act as though someone else is to blame for your overreactions.
it would be cute if it wasn't so sad.

How is saying one is no worse than the other "getting your panties in a bunch?" I'd say the person whining about how one of the words is so bad is the one with their panties in a bunch.

QUOTE

Quite the opposite actually. I was just pointing out that you and a few others were being overly sensitive over a word. How on Earth you could construe that as me being sensitive is beyond me.

QUOTE

Looking for a fight by saying words are nothing to fight over? What?
Or do you mean argue over this? No. Just calling it how I see it. And didn't your parents ever tell you it takes two?

QUOTE

The truth is that the only things people know about the meaning of the word is the highlights of slavery they were taught in school and in reality the words are nothing to them.

QUOTE

taking every point I made completely out of context

I didn't take anything out of context. You just didn't understand any of the counter points.

QUOTE

ignoring the numerous examples I provided.

The only "examples" you used were essentially claiming you'd get your ass beat for using the word, which as I already said, how violently someone reacts doesn't change the meaning of the word. Your only example which you repeated and referred to as multiple examples, is completely irrelevant to the point at hand. I didn't ignore it, I pointed that out, you then ignored that it wasn't relevant.

QUOTE

Really? Let's recap your last post. You tried to blame the entire debate between me and you as an argument being entirely my fault. And then you try to accuse me of doing the same thing, although at no point in time did I try to pin this all on you. I'll take responsibility for my side, but I expect you to have self respect enough to do the same. My "overreactions" was just pointing out that one word isn't worse than the other, and then pointing out that your "proof" didn't mean anything to the point at hand.

Calling someone a name after they're acting out of line or inappropriately does not call for someone's face to be beat in. Especially a female's.

true , that group of youth should be arrested

Girl beat down by urban youth

QUOTE (flitcroft101)

did she deserve it

ಠ_ಠ

You sicken me. Is this what you really consider worthy of debate: whether she deserved it? Do you want to live in a world where the violent should keep peoples mouths shut? Because that's just the attitude that will lead us there. I wonder how you would respond to the reverse of that scenario where a black girl is violently assaulted by a gang of whites for calling them "crackas".

[Troll Proof]

No matter who said what, neither behavior is acceptable. Both the n-word and whore are words that are meant to belittle people; so did the girl deserve it??? NO. Would I be offended if she did the same to me? Yes, but I provoked her to, much like what would happen if I went out and called poor white people crackers. Poor judgment on both sides, and the heart of the issue isn't even racial, its the sexual remarks that women have to deal with in our equal society.

[Gst0395]

Well it wasn't necessary to call them that but that doesn't give them the right to brutally beat her down. Cowardly thugs.

[FunkVolume]

Well, the only way this would be right, is if she was a dude.

Come on, instead of beating the sh*t outta her, they should have just called her a c*nt. That probably would have been more effective.

Bitch does though.

[Talakua]

A gang of males beating up a lone girl. I dont care what the motives were, there is no justification for such a cowardly attack. But then again these urban "gangstas" generally are the biggest cowards on the planet, which is self evident by the fact that they feel the need to roam around in gangs everywhere.

Was it a dumb thing for her to say? Sure, but everybody says dumb things in the heat of the moment, doesnt mean they deserve to be savagely beaten for it. It was the gang that instigated the altercation in the first place. All she did was ask for a lighter, they are the ones who decided to be disrespectful little sh*theads for no reason whatsoever. If they cant handle receiving the insults, they should dish them out in the first place.

Bitch? Please...
Out of all the swears on Springer, that was the only one not bleeped out.

[baptiste]

Are you seriously asking if she deserved to get her face beaten in because of a word?

Is this what its come to?

[lil weasel]

The larger the population and the more that certain 'tribes' feel alienated from rest of society they will establish their own moral code or lack of one. Actually reverting to the age old 'them's fightin' word(s)' mind set. It's getting so that you can't even smile or glance at some of these animals.

Co-sign. Those fools should do hard time. Even if it was a white dude, it would be be wrong. Can't hit some stupid f*ck for using a racial slur unless he puts his hands on you.

But I shake my head at some of the responses in this thread.
