He's an Arsenal fan. Asking him not to watch them play is just unrealistic.
We already have the term "virgin" for people who haven't had sex. The reason they made a new term is so the "involuntarily" part makes them a victim. See, it's not just that they aren't having sex (which they TOTALLY deserve, btw), but they're being actively denied it.
It's a term born in anger and a need to blame someone else. If you don't feel that need, you don't use the term.
I will say, this is slightly hurt by the fact we all said these in the comments of the first joke.
I'm trying to think of which robot dystopia/apocalypse this most closely resembles.
I don't think nazis are the ones that decided the gay pride colour though (it was purple). I think it was someone else that decided.
Just looked it up. White is white pride, red is neo-nazi (and often, willing to spill blood), yellow is anti-racist. Not sure why that last one's a bad thing, though.
Black was neutral, because that's the colour doc martens usually come with.
In a youtube video by Matt Baume, he discussed two types of protestors against offensive gay representation in the media.
The first group was loud and disruptive. One guy broke into the news room and yelled over the anchor about the injustice. Another guy handcuffed himself to a camera. It was a problem that could shut down production entirely.
The second group was calm and willing to negotiate. However, the only reason they were listened to by the networks was because of the first group. They even had whistles to ruin the filming if they weren't listened to. But they were, and filming went without a hitch after that.
It's not the peaceful path, but some people don't want the peaceful path. They want violence. Give them more violence than they can handle (or at least the threat of it) until they beg for peace, THEN take the peaceful path.
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
(I love when I get to post these joke chains)
How do you get 4 elephants in a mini cooper? -Two in the front, two in the back.
How do you get 2 whales in a mini cooper? -Take the M4 and go over the Severn bridge.
How can you tell there's an elephant in your fridge? -Footprints in the custard.
How can you tell there's 2 elephants in your fridge? -You can hear them giggle when the light goes out.
How can you tell there's 3 elephants in your fridge? -You can't quite get the door shut.
How can you tell there's 4 elephants in your fridge? -There's a mini cooper outside.
I mean, it might be a good excuse. Doesn't change the slur.
In Blazing Saddles, the actors playing the racists apologised to their co-stars after every take. They had a damn good excuse to say what they said, but they still apologised for saying it.
Just to make it clear, I am white, so take my opinion on this with a grain of salt.
From what I understand, there isn't a universal consensus among black communities that the n-word is okay between black people. Some people get just as offended no matter who says it.
Of course, some people are perfectly fine with it, but that doesn't mean it isn't a slur. It's still a slur, it's just not offending anyone at that moment. It's like an empty gun: it won't harm anyone, but it's still a gun.
Utterly incorrect. Irony does not affect whether a thing is a slur or not. It doesn't matter what you use the slur towards, it remains a slur. Any excuse you use to explain why you can use a slur is exactly that: an excuse.
The brick joke is an absolute classic. The only tragedy is that it's hard to set up without other people coming in with the payoff before you can.
