You took this out of left field quicker than that HR went out to it.

So you're saying that Limeys and Frogs shouldn't say Chinaman?

I’m Asian American though not Chinese, although I get mistaken for Chinese all the time in San Francisco. Anyway, I just can’t get all that upset about terms like “Chinaman” or “Oriental.” It’s not like being called the N-word, for goodness’ sake. Am I out of it? Am I in danger of losing my PC Liberal membership card?

Not exactly sure why “Chinaman” is offensive. “Englishman” or “Frenchman” are still relatively commonplace. I am from Taiwan and of course have heard much worse

A real chinky mistake. Not kuch a ching ming wong chong in that debacle. They all look the same if you will.

Right. You think I’m from a suburb, AND that all suburban high schools are private and Catholic.

Because violence doesn’t happen in suburbs? Ok.

Some of the comments about Christianity sound just as smug as the comments that the hardcore right wingers make about Muslims.

Why is this an “especially powerful speech,” but in all other contexts you mock people for their Christian beliefs? (people who still have freedom of religion, as I understand it)

Heaven is the reason I hope I’m wrong about god.

Monty Williams is the type of man we should all strive to be.

“We didn’t lose her. When you lose something you can’t find it. I know exactly where my wife is.”

Yep.

Never too late.

Muhammad Ali is retarded.

Hopefully, your buddy put those dogs down after that.

Ok, we’ll put dogs just above the gays. By a whisker.

I mean its more than a slightly gross thing. It is rape. Children cannot consent to sex with adults. Yeah, I’m glad that she still feels okay with it today, but she definitely wasn’t the only 13 or 14 year old he slept with (by her own account, they also had a threesome with her friend who was less than a year older)…

I loved Bowie’s music, but a 14 year old can’t legally consent. He’s a rapist whether she liked the experience or not.
