Sure it was fun at the time! But just a few posts ago you were justifying it as right.

I'm not uptight at all, but you are still wrong for romanticizing saying nigger and faggot. It's not up to you to decide whether people who have been subjected to the words should be offended or not.

We have plenty of smart, interesting and creative people. For instance this topic: http://www.saltw.net/index.php?topic=82136.0

If being interesting for you revolves around slurs, then you are the boring one. Being smart and evolving mentally as a person, is infinitely more cool than obsessing over not being PC. As you can see most of our old members agree, and even a lot of the ones that have left since our heyday would feel the same.

Louis CK bit, which he himself is turning away from these days.

you're kind of boring. what if the edgy thing for you to do is actually be genuine and a half-decent adult??

its ok to remember the community's past, but it's more important to understand those things for what they were [horrible shit that should make you feel bad] and not to romanticize it as carefree youth.

Proportionally speaking?  Might as well be.  Thanks for being obtuse so as not to have to confront your disgusting pride in some of the worst parts of our site's history though.

The KKK is part of Kentucky's history, I'm sure as heck not holding that dear.

Not really, I don't support the use of slurs in humour nowadays....

:^)

used to have epic ones with trystero which bordered the absurd and ridiculous

What it looks like is that you passionately support the use of slurs in humor and started backing off the moment it became clear that this is an untenable position in today's community.

Also I think its fairly clear Sheppard wanted to stir something up and got more than he wanted.

You brought it up first though by saying everyone here was "too PC" and "too nice" or something and that you "don't have a place" because of that.

yeah but the fact that you feel the need to unwind in such a way is pretty alarming imo!! i act "polite" irl too, but never in my life have i ever felt repressed by it and never have i felt the urge to go on the internet and scream nigger nigger cunt faggot nigger just because i could.

It's only relaxed for you dude!!!  Most of us aren't relaxed by ~*~hilarious~*~ slurs, especially those of us who are targeted by them!!!

God forbid, we grew up ! ! !

lol i like that "empower women" is among "say no to drugs" and "bed by 10"

Your whole post isn't considering that this is very much the opposite of relaxing for the people the slurs are targeting (even if you're using it in a "joking" way)

Sorry that you find most of us not liking racism, sexism, etc. anymore boring.

this is the #1 excuse that racists, homophobes etc. use: they say "well, I didn't MEAN for it to be offensive, YOU'RE the problem here." well, there's an obvious problem with that, namely the fact that it puts the burden on the victim. so then the bully can say whatever they like, and if anything is considered offensive, it's the fault of whomever they decided to bully. that's the argument that allows racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and so on, to persist.

there's a much simpler and more moral approach that you can take: when someone says they're offended by something you said, assume that they're telling the truth (because they are), empathize, and make some effort to not repeat the offending material again. it's a very small effort, anyone can do it (and if you slip up, that's OK, because at least you're making an effort), and it makes the people around you feel a lot better. there's a name for what I just described, and it's "political correctness". the other term for it is "being nice to people".

you can either choose to hate political correctness because it doesn't allow you to say "nigger" in public anymore, or you can simply be nice to people and not use those words.

it's not that being younger makes you more prone to being mean, but rather than it makes you more prone to doing or saying stupid, regrettable shit. in this case acting like dicks to people unnecessarily, but there's plenty of other things the community did that we're all collectively embarrassed about. eg. NIGGAR GONNA GET RAPED IN PRISON or w/e the fuck being a meme that a bunch of people laughed about at one point. or arguing with people about racism while calling them 'retarded faggots' completely unaware of any irony. i even remember a very old topic where some of the most intelligent members were basically using the south park defense in their use of the word faggot. also remember our epic jone rap battles? because i sure as fuck don't want to.
