hey now, i know i shouldnt enter this, but i was "born again" when i was into christianity and now i consider it all to be a load of bullshit. that part of my life is done, therefore i'm not "born again" because that concept doesn't really exist to me anymore, you know?

i'm not even sure if you were being serious considering half of this thread looks like a gigantic joke. but that's how i see it. if... anything.. is to be taken seriously.

goddamnit.

She realizes it how? She has indicated as much in this thread where? She said "I know this will hurt people's feelings so I will throw out what is acknowledged as the most offensive term on the planet"? Difference here is, I know what I say ISN'T RACIST...

And its not just you that jumps on us about this shit. But again, way to comment without commenting..you're good at that.

I'm not worked up over anything, I do however enjoy pointing out hypocrisy, especially of liberal standard bearers.

but i mean, once you're born in the usual sense, you can't undo it by killing yourself, right? so if you were "born again," you can't suddenly be "not was born again." you've been screwed by the one-way nature of the sequence of events.

and this is where i address the issue, for windbag (d - alabama): i think most of us would appreciate it if you'd leave your posts epithet-free. a good place for that stuff is www.hipinion.com. i'd maybe be more vocal about it if you were a redneck and did this constantly, but you seem pretty cool.

everyone on this board acts like a family. everyone gets so offended over something someone says, it's sort of cute.

I am an aborted again Southern Baptist.

i find nothing quaint about the n-word.

winner.

[/thread]

well i understand what you're saying. i just don't believe anything i ever believed in (in the past) truly exists, so i think that i inherited the concept of being born again but was not truly changed spiritually, emotionally, physically obviously, because i just don't believe the idea could be pushed further to be more than just an idea. it just doesn't exist to me. i believe i was born again in a conceptual sense but since i don't believe in god or anything i just don't think i can say i'm still born again. my faith has died, therefore i can't believe i was ever really born again. it just doesn't apply to someone who can't bring themselves to believe in god anymore.

god i rambled, i hope you're able to understand a word i put out there.

yeah, i'm totally just screwing with you. i'm sorry.

uhuh.

Only the two that start with C and N, beeyotch.

i'll pop a cap in yo' cunt nigga nigga.

speaking of black people, i goto school with 99.9% african americans, and obviously i make up the .1% of the white population on campus, and the black people always talk about joining the klu klux klan and burning crosses in "black ass central" (meaning the school) and shit. they're pretty open minded, considering they're black and harmlessly speaking about racist issues with me. point being, sometimes people get over excited about "controversial" topics such as using the term nigger lightly, sometimes its a bad thing but come on, it's an internet messageboard and we're obviously not using it in a harmful manner.

Unfortunately, this applies to everyone but White, Southern Males.

Sorry to drag you into this, I just wanted to point out the response to Capt. Correctivo.

And the fact that you work.go to school with/actually know any black people is apparently not a mitigating factor, since "Not everyone who IS racist, KNOWS they are racist"

You fucking Nazi

yeah, save it for your Indiana Klan rallies.

But yeah, c'mon kids, regulate yourselves.

well i'm not going to stop you from doing it, cp, but this happens to be an internet message board where people tend not to use that word out of respect for one another. crash the party if you want, but it's worked fine up until now. and really, knowing black people isn't a mitigating factor, because you're in a completely different context where, until recently, people didn't communicate that way.

but if you listen to the white al sharpton here (oh the world is so hard for the white southern male), fire the fuck away.

i'm sure that some of your best friends are black, your cousin's wife is black, you're not racist, etc. but i don't think i'm alone in thinking the n-word is a racist term and probably shouldn't be used "lightly." whether or not you think the reaction is "excited," the term offends me and others. perhaps you mean no harm, but i hate seeing this board as a safe harbor for racist terminology.

i hope you understand the perspective.

My take: Haq and Katie are having a back-chat on AIM about that black homeless person they raped and set on fire in Harlem that time and whether it was rascist or not?

Guilt is a bitch, ain't it.

And yo, cemetary! STFU! Nobody cares what you think anyways.

Where are the black people at in Elephant 6?

1 point for wit.
-2 for drawing an erroneous conclusion

World ain't harder for me than anyone else. Probably easier, but it's not cos I'm white.

I agree with what Katie said, and this is actually a topic I enjoy discussing, instead of hiding my head in the sand, or haphazardly calling people racists, just cos of where they're from.

edit: rather, i can't tell if you're trying to get my goat or making a joke or both.

Bringing it back around- I voted for Neutral Milk Hotel.

I'm with Steve, again.

yup

maybe one of you could spell my name right, sometime.

edit:
i'm not racist, i don't have many black friends either. i obviously feel for what african americans went through in the past, but jesus christ give it up you guys. you all need to get the dicks out of your assholes and stop being so fucking uptight. no, i don't feel guilty. if you don't want me to say nigger on the messageboard then you can ask me to politely stop, last i checked i'm not the only one who is saying it anyways. katie is the only one who decently asked everyone to stop.


if you can't tell, i wasn't justifying racism in my previous posts.

you all give christian (makesnosenseatall) shit for "bagging on you guys" because youre always fucking victims but then you sit here and give everyone else shit. shut the fuck up.

again with the "hiding my head in the sand." what are you talking about? if you agreed with katie, i feel like you wouldn't defend the tossing 'round of "spade," but whatever. and i called a comment racist, and you racist because you were begging me to.

cemetery, i'm sorry if you thought i was being impolite, but i don't see it.
