Quote HistoryQuoted: It's not a key. Try calling the various Middle Easterners and Asians we've fought their respective slurs and disclaim that you only mean the ones we fought, and see if you don't get banned. Exactly |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Gun owners breathing hurts the 2a cause. Everything makes firearms enthusiasts look bad. I stopped going to the range because I don't own a tux, and didn't want to hurt gun owners images. You wear a tux with tails and a tophat I'll meet you at the range and we'll go shooting... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: certainly..racism is racism..the majority of it here now is towards blacks..after 911 it was Muslims.. people that feel the need to use racist terms to express their opinion probably aren't going to feel welcome here anymore. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: @Striker Does this apply equally to those of other origins that seem to be hated on this site? Legitimate question, not in any way sarcastic. I personally am offended by the language used towards those of middle eastern descent, Muslims, or even non-Muslims from majority Islamic nations. I'm asking as if this policy doesn't extend to all, then this rule is in itself, racist (see here) people that feel the need to use racist terms to express their opinion probably aren't going to feel welcome here anymore. So "code words" about certain religious groups is also banned? |

Several times Swiss people have been bashed in the thread discussing ww2. All Swiss people. Did I like it ? No. Do I think it should be regulated ? Of course not The swiss deserve every ounce of shit they get.  Their cheese is full of holes.

Some of the distinctions outlined are going to be either impossible to enforce, or egregiously enforced. As if the media coverage will be any different if one throws a "some", "many", etc. in front of these descriptive, factual statements.

Quote HistoryQuoted: So today YouTube banned me for one day when I commented on a video of the sister of the 4 guys that tried stealing the bike from that Nurse in NJ. She was trying to say that they DIDNT DO anything wrong. Except the evidence she brought actually proved that were actually trying to steal that bike from her. I basically said « oh, that’s what the sisters of D word looks like ? Boom. Insta ban. And it was the textbook definition of the “my brother didn’t do” excuse, that had nothing to do with her skin color. I guess Arfcom is now like YouTube. Geez I caught a timeout on Twitter (again!) for a snarky comment, not in the least racist (albeit, a little sexist, to be sure). I told them to fuck off, that I'd never click the delete button - and I mean it. Pisses me off that so much news from there is now a major PITA to access. Folks here post links and I need to use a different browser to read them. And true enough, I really miss the arfcom of old. You really had to work hard to catch a warning or a timeout. Those days are gone, for sure (although, I do understand these are different times, but it definitely sucks sometimes). |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I do not disagree with you, regarding no right to not be offended. What I’m looking for is if the intent is to enforce the rule consistently. If so? I have no argument. However, if the rule means that other minorities will still be subject to ridicule without recourse, then it is obvious that the intent of the new rule is simply a charade due to political pressure, or trying to gain points by participating in the latest fad. The rule, as it is being clarified, inherently, is about ‘feelings’ and ‘perception’. Either all feelings and perceptions matter, or none matter. Then we are in no form of disagreement I guess I’m with you |

I stopped going to the range because I don't own a tux, and didn't want to hurt gun owners images. It's all part of the soft march toward equating everything conservative as racist or terrorist, or some other kind of "ist" which comes down to saying or thinking what Marxists don't like. By next year, being a registered Republican will be a hate crime. It's already a thought crime. |

Do not use terms such as “feral,” “subhuman,” “savages” etc. to describe any group of people This part is a stretch. I mean, sure to citiots it may be a racist thing, but feral people are legit feral people and could be considered subhuman or savage while not having a fucking thing to do with race. Do not make negative statements about ALL members of a group people based on isolated incidents or even on overall general statistics of that group. This part doesn't belong there despite the explanation. Pretty fucking insulting to tell the truth. If someone is that dumb, just ban them instead of implying this is a board problem. but whatever
