Off topic a little, but 'fixing the nutritionals' is somewhat important to me. Yes, when I go fast food I know I'm playing fast and loose with my cholesterol, but I'd still like to have an easy way to know how fast I'm playing. My state doesn't mandate calorie disclosure and the marketing spin in beyond ridiculous. …

EXCUSE ME!!! Gold-digging mistresses have gone out of their way to prove there is a middle ground. If you would just learn to monetize your vagina in the proper way you too can find the in between.

Do you know what would be the absolute best rebuttal to this would be? For every working mother to stay home the week the first week in October.* Every single one. Let's give our children our full attention and sit home helping our children with their reading As there will be few to no functioning schools, the…

But wouldn't logic dictate that it's the men's fault for not earning enough? If they would get off their asses, turn off Rush and get a real job we wummin' folk would be able to fulfill our god given destiny.

And yet the common use of it in early history had absolutely no effect on perpetuating the degradation of a race? Okay then.

Reading comprehension is hard but important on these threads. My post said, if language doesn't affect culture, why...? Nowhere does that touch on whether racism is more or less an issue than sexism. My point is if your argument is based on the believe 'language doesn't affect culture' then why is this, what used…

Twenty years ago people didn't jeer, boo or heap scorn on overtly racist comedians. Hell, going back 50 years we have the Censored 11...which are now called that for a reason. The fact comedians face this response now is perfect proof that language impacts culture and through the transitive property, culture impacts…

Me too...when I checked the air date I died a little when I realized I am now the generation SP makes fun of.

No, it's a "language doesn't effect culture" discussion. Racism is just one easily identifiable forum where language was used to promote the culture as well as how cultural changes absolutely impact acceptable language.

The live, putting your face to the word might be a difference. But regardless the Apologies To... episode was in 2007 so I could argue culture has changed comedic language in the past 6 years. I haven't kept with the show, have they done more?

I'm certainly glad the Selma Marchers didn't share your view.

Yeah...the open mike aspect is why I put the 'working, known' criteria in. I fully understand and accept that drunk assholes will be drunk assholes regardless of language or culture. My only hope is they aren't able to make a living off it.

One is rarely considered 'some'. Challenge would be to name a minimum of 3 working, known comics who use the word in their routine. You have 1...

I particularly like, "He told her that his comment on Twit­ter was part of a research project." What was the project? To see how fast he could piss off 80% of the internet?

"The 80% of Turks that don't drink or approve of drinking."; - Confused

Well it was pushed through the legislator and he approved it last week. I think that means it's something 'he's done so far'.

So gas stations are the only business open after 10 p.m.? Because according to the UK press, "The bill supported by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan would prohibit the sale of alcohol from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. and forbid the depiction of alcohol consumption on television, billboards, newspapers, storefronts and at…
