How am I ignorant? Because I don't have a bias sense of humor? I think you're just ignorant of the stick up your ass. If you're not offended by this stuff, I think you should butt out, and stop trying to be other peoples' voices.

Not mad, a little annoyed with how self righteous you guys are though with such poor arguments. Even though you're entirely wrong. :shrug:

Also explain how I'm ignorant in your opinion then?

I am not in favor of eliminating any graemlins... I don't think it makes sense for the community at large to give a shit if other people are turned off by our sense of humor, which includes violent jokes, poop jokes, rape jokes, fat jokes, and racist jokes alike. We are not promoting anything by making light of it via the use of jokes.





I don't think The jokes are on trial or being decided right now, it's teh graemlins.

:rolleyes:

It's not even that...It's the website's sponsorship of those graemlins...

No one is trying to take away anyone's ability to use the images...

It's easier than that...you can take the image and put it in your library of images on this site...so the site would still be hosting the image for you...

I just don't see why it is so important for these people that the site have these graemlins on the "official" graemlin list.

That's your definition of racist?

Then you are a racist...

Your definition assumes that different races are different colors and assumes that different colored people must be of different races...neither is always true.

Maybe it is racist.

It doesn't matter what's someone's color, amongst the other independent variables yet to be specified, to me regardless. It is within the conext of the emoticons presented, not to say the other independent variables are unknown.

Ahh absolutes :awesome:

I believe that there are non-racists, but that they are so exceedingly rare that you must assume yourself not to be one.

Almost all people who think they have no racism inside them are wrong, they haven't just looked hard and deep enough at their inner processes.

A lot of racism happens under the assumption of no racism.

There is nothing wrong with the graemlins in itself. They aren't inherently
racist. Racial? Yes. Racist? No. Is it that hard for people to judge them by
the context in which they are used?

I would guess that certain people who live in isolated tribes in Africa or South America might not be racist...particularly if they have no knowledge of the existence of another race...

Its vital not to place yourself outside the battlefield though, and instead investigate where racism, sexism and homophobia exist within you.  If you truly look, you'll find and once you find, there will be more and more until you realize the inconvenient truth about yourself :blush:

While that's some cool pop-psychology/spiritual gobblediegook...It really doesn't have an application here...

First, whether someone is or isn't racist isn't an issue when we're talking about whether or not a site should have officially recognized graemlins that are racially insensitive..

Second, any claim that everyone is X, even if true, doesn't help to define X or to identify/solve any issues concerning X.

Finally, I have serious doubts about the "vital[ity]" of "not plac[ing] [ones]elf outside the battlefield."  It is often the only way to get any simulation of objectivity when viewing an issue.

there are anti-racists, some tend to be quite racist while the rest are varying degrees of.

can you say that you have no racial bias?

Seems uncertain.
All data has never been collected to make any absolute assumption.

First step in solving a problem is acknowledging that you in fact have that problem.

Not at all, I know my flaws. That knowing is a strong point I gained by my selfinvestigations and reflection.

I don't believe we have 100% certainty in anything. Absolutes are dangeropus because they stop the thinking process. "Lemons are stupid therefore all thought spend on lemons is wasted."

So problems can never be solved by independant third-parties?

Aids researchers must have aids before they can possibly find a cure...

That's some good logic there...

Next time I have a client accused of rape, I'll go rape someone and get accused so that I can share in the problem, and thus take the "first step in solving [the] problem."
