Let's discuss why Codell's signature is offensive...

boudet?

(quiet, he's on a roll.)

 

All ClutchCity.Net user's love Trader_Jorge.

It's just that a few times Trader_Jorge goes on one of his rants and we feel the need to throw him in a dumpster.

 

reread macbeth's post a couple of times.

 

How offensive. Just get lost JAG. I do not like trucks.

 

and all muslims like hugs?

 

So TJ does find the signalling out the actions of a minority incident offensive. Then TJ must logically find Codell's sig offensive as well. Nice set up, MacBeth

 

i forgot the smilie....

If you find this offensive you should ****ing well find that all Muslims like hugs sig offensive. That's why MB posted it. I'm not surprised you don't get it when it's turned around, but that's why he turned it around. Here's another:

All Catholics like children. It's just that some Catholics like to have sex with children.

How's that, pal? How does that feel to the Catholics on the board? Would it be okay to the Catholics out there if that was my signature and they had to read it every time I weighed in on the Rockets coaching search?

The signature in question is bloodly well offensive to Muslims and no 9/11 based fear factor wipes that out. Fix it or hear about it til you do. There are many more offensive comparisons that traderjorgy and the rest of you will find "beyond offensive" even while you laugh along at those crazy ole Muslims. Do they even sell mirrors to hypocrites anymore? Or did you guys just stop buying them? Wouldn't surprise me. Just curious.

 

I think the original sig involving muslims is offensive.

MacBeth threw the bait out there and Trader bit.

Batman also makes a good point regarding Catholics.

 

Again, you have deflated your argument. It's NOT for us to judge some group who has been killing innocent civilians for lo 2 decades? C'mon.

If they are not the brightest of people, are they not being manipulated? How can that be on the up-and-up?

 

No, no, no.

Here is Codell's sig with Catholics replacing Muslims:
All Catholics want hugs.
It's just that a select few want to blow you up with dynamite.

Here's what Batman wrote: All Catholics like children. It's just that some Catholics like to have sex with children.

Batman's statement blurs the line between those who are harmless and those who are harmful.

Codell'a appropriation of Heretic's line does no such thing. The two statements in it are not remotely relatedl. Wanting a hug is a basic human need. Are Muslims against hugs?

Now, if Batman had written: "All Muslims like dead Jews. It's just that some Muslims will actually kill them wantonly." There we have a better analogy to what he wrote about Catholics.

Horrible isn't it. Nice try.

 

" I love when people say to get back to living the way you were before Sept.11th
You want to know something folks, I hated insane foregin ***holes who wanted to kill me on Sept.10th of that year."

"We need to get our game face on, because these guys are into it, completely. There are no Al-kindas, O.K. And if we are not going to go Slingblade on these ***holes, somebody tell me, because I'm going to go live in Alec Baldwittion, alright."

Folks, It is time for a good old-fashion Yeee-Haawd."

-Dennis Miller

 

That's awesome.

For the record, I don't find any of these offensive except the giddyup dead Jews one (not Jewish BTW). Most of these are cleverly poking fun at the fringe groups that deserve redicule. I don't think the truck one had the best execution, but the idea was the same.

 

Offensive racial comments are offensive--even if there was 9/11/, even if they are aimed at Arabs and or Mulsims.

Signatures that would not be tolerated if directed toward others groups such as Jews and African Amerciancs should not be tolerated because they are directed at Arabs and Muslims.

Hopefully the adminstrators can take care of this problem.

 

why are people getting upset with macbeth? he's probably the single best poster on this bbs.

the dude just flipped the script (hey... that sounded cool, huh?) on codell's signature with a tim mcveigh reference. it makes perfect sense.

 

In times like this, I am reminded of a little reality check from a man much more intelligent than I...

 

codell, T_J...T_J, codell.


For the record, codell, I think you are a really cool guy, and doubt you meant any offense with your sig. But I also think that, given T_J and others reaction to my exact reversal of your sig aimed at them, you might see how a Muslim would feel about your sig. That was the point I was going for, but people are giving me too much credit. T_J did all the work for me.

 

Historically more Christians have slaughtered in the name of God than Muslims, but I guess we won't look in that direction in the hopes that history covers it with dust.

 

i'm not debating that Christianity was hijacked during the crusades...but honestly, do you have any numbers to back up your claim? this is real easy to say....but with the development of more explosive weapons of war and terror, i'm doubting its validity.
