I think it sounds too much like a cop out. She went on the warpath and then when it gets too hot is suddenly a paranoid schizophrenic. It's not getting drunk, it's not just being a daft racist, but instead it's full on 'she is schizo'.Quote:

I was going to say "so now your bigotry extends to cover mental illness" but that would be unkind and unnecessary to point out to a fellow sufferer. It would be like me calling Bilbo a racist,homophobic,intolerant,fundamentalist,self obsessed xenophobe and so I will refrain.
Crazy bitch.
I just think that is an extreme means of evading what you have said. A person should just say sorry and avoid any repetition of said behaviour. If you carry on doing it then it is only then that you would truly regard the person as an outright racist.Quote:

Judging by You Tube comments half the world is schizophrenic, or are they just racists run amok?
It seems to me that this general bulldog fella was awful quick to jump the gun. I don't even think he read the previous posts before commenting. Actually, I'm rather sure of it. Stupid.
Anyways, I believe with everything that Gandalf is going towards at the moment. When one starts referring to a race as a limb that is infected with gangrene and needs to be amputated, that takes matters far beyond the opinion of a casual joking racist.
I am not a racist. I hate everybody equally. People in general suck. All of them. We should judge on the individual, as that would be the wise thing to do.
And judging on this Jenny girl as an individual, she should think about consequences before she opens her mouth again. Hopefully she's learned something from this whole ordeal.
Now Dana White is getting headlines calling Mayweather racist. :rolleyes: Dana, in the words of Angry Man, "SIT YO ASS DOWN!"
In life people call each other names all the time. We say someone is ugly, we say someone is stupid, and some people also accuse people of being of a different ethnic origin. Should we just ban all insults altogether and create some kind of utopia?Quote:

I don't have a problem with what anybody has said. People get judged by their own conduct so in effect their own words are their own punishment.
Now, if it was the leader of a country or massive organisation with an actual power and ability to be racist in a real way then it's totally different. But some airhead celebrity who gives a fuck what they think.
Exactly. I think there is a big difference between Floyd supporting black Americans and Hitler exterminating Jews. A monumental, massive difference. One is trivial, the other is genocide.Quote:

Insults serve their purpose. I use them against people who deserve to be insulted. I actually am in love with the N-Word. It's a wonderful little word to use. :)
