[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4100701, member: 76548"] Not that hard to avoid this. Don't be a racist, and if you are a racist, don't plaster it all over the web. Keep it between you and your other low-life racist :censored: buddies. If you absolutely must be racist online, do it on an anonymous forum, like [USER=65823]@TheBrownFlush[/USER] does. I agree people are too sensitive. But there's no room in modern society for racism or homophobia in the name of jest, and the reason for this, besides poor taste, is that there's several hundred years minimum of hatred these groups have faced and they deserve better than to be the folly of our jokes - at the very least, they're owed this respect they were denied for far too long. What some in these minority groups may find funny, is potentially devastating to others, so erring on the side of class and respect is how it's got to be - we can't possibly know who's cool with it and who isn't, so we should all refrain, [I]especially [/I]in a public forum/setting. Period. If you're sitting there in private with people you know, and who know you, that :censored: might fly, but you've got to know your audience and they've got to know you to trust that you're not being malicious first. So how long have you known him to make such an inference into his intentions or character? Must be quite a while, right? I guess he found out just how outrageous and shocking it can be. He cost himself a spot at the best university in the country and found himself squarely in the path of "the wave of outrage" and now he's getting bowled over and tossed around like a rag doll. I'm sure the fact that he's messed up his prospects for a first-class education and almost surely screwed with his potential for future employment has proven to have plenty of shock value, he is undoubtedly shocked that his stupidity :censored:ed what he worked years for over in an instant. How he views it, doesnt really make much of a difference now, huh? Lesson learned...the hard way. I feel sorry for him, but kids have got to know better these days, and if they don't, their parents have got to remind them constantly - 'hey, junior, the internet is forever, act/post accordingly' should get the job done...toss that out there over dinner, once a week or so - just to be safe and avoid a public shaming for your little achiever.
