Alright Elfie, care to explain your use of racial slurs?
You did notice the quotation marks ("), didn't you? I think racism is the main reason the government and the media have glossed over the number of Iraqis killed in the war and why most people don't care anyway. "Sand nigger" is a common racist term used to describe Iraqis.

Still doesn't explain or reason it away, Elfie. Sad isn't it, the side that
claims it's the most tolerant is always the one that begins spewing
forth insults and racial slurs like a tourettes syndrome sufferer...

That has to be the lamest sophistry I've seen in a long time, Shep. You're going to have to do better than that to hijack this thread.

I've noticed a lot of people using sarcasm on this board. Does it mean
if I put Kraut in "Kraut", it's A-OK?

Only if you're being sarcastic about a section of people who habitually use the word Kraut. Why does this fly over your head?

Only if you have the timing down right. I'll bet you think "irony" is what people do to wrinkled clothes.

You know, when there's legitimate shit to fling, you look incredibly retarded playing these games. Really, Shep, your flame-skills have grown weak and soft.

Except that I've never seen the phrase "sand-nigger" used on this board. Therefore it was a complete strawman, and one designed specifically to appeal to emotions.

Elfie was shitbaiting. Shep took the bait, was all.

And the original interesting intellectual potential of this thread has been dragged down. Blah.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!
