Not quite as thought provoking as asking someone if they would practice cannibalism, but if you're at the local health dept getting checked for your warts, it just may work.
I usually go with "Can I buy you a drink or do you just want the money?" If that doesn't work, "My love for you is like diarrhea, I just can't hold it in." THEN as a last resort, yes, I tell them I would eat them to save a loved one. Deal closed.
That's a great one! I appreciate a great set of boobs with a moderately interesting personality. I work in Plastic Surgery after all.
I'd take the money, tell you to drink some Pepto Bismol cuz I don't need no love, then have you prove you'd eat someone to save a loved one while I watched in utter horror/amazement/disgust that you just ingested someone else's flesh. Wow, it's hot in my office...
guys can we put this thread back on the subject of cannibalism and 124's medication? yeah nevermind keep doing what your doing.
Lucky is getting jealous. (He hates when I hit on other girls) Maybe we should go somewhere private and talk.
Are you thinking your dark, creepy basement with chains hanging from the ceiling and attached to chairs and strange torture devices?
Why is it ok for dark skinned people to use the N word as frequently as they draw breath but not ok for whites to use it? . . and how can they get away with calling us 'honkeys' etc and thats ok but if we come back with the N word we get knifed, shot, or worse. . . sued. . I have to say before folk start shouting at me I dont use the word myself. . this is just pure observation on expressions used by the two cultures. . just so we are clear.
First off let me just say, I LOVE where this thread has headed. (I guess I started it with the Asian food joke) To answer your question(s), plain and simple, it is not socially acceptable for white people to use that word given it's derogatory meaning towards African-Americans. From what Im told by Brian (the black guy who works in my office) and DJ (my black friend), members of the Black community will use this "N" word as a slang for two reasons: 1. As a greeting 2. To take away the hateful meaning of the word by turning into a pleasantry. To claim it as their own and "take it back" if you will. Also, knowing why and how it was used, why would you want to say the word? It shouldn't matter what would happen to you if you did say it if you have no reason to use it in the first place.
I once tried using the N word as a pleasantry when I went into a bar that was predominantly full of an African American clientele. Apparently 'What's up my ******' doesn't come off quite right, no matter how well meaning a cracker uses it. Body casts are itchy as hell.
Eh, there are some other reasons as well though, (I refuse to use the "N-word nonsense), for example if someone is acting crazy and out of character that will be dropped in reference to "he ain't acting like one of us" in a bad way. A fella I chatted with took exception to "oriental" he said it was too old fashioned, but to me, "Asian" is not really regionally descriptive, a Syrian is technically "asian". Ehh, whatever, do you want the leg or the wing:
If black people REALLY wanted to eliminate that word, they'd stop giving a **** who says it altogether. "White people only wanna say ****** because they're not allowed to." -Chris Rock
I find it funny in the sense that it's just a word. I understand the history of the word and how much hate was behind it back in the day. But in the end, it's just a word. Call me a cracker or a dago, I won't blink an eye, in fact I love racial humor, I find it amusing how every race is stereotyped. I also find it amusing that certain races or nationalities or religions can be picked on and no one will bat an eye, while others have to be tip toed around. You ever tell piss anyone off telling an Irish joke?
Only my girlfriend. Then again just about anything I say pisses her off, so maybe the two aren't mutually exclusive...
Wives/Girlfriends don't count. We can piss them off by walking into the room, especially after the 'bloom is off the rose' so to speak.
Can I just point out a statement from my previous post: and how can they get away with calling us 'honkeys' etc and thats ok but if we come back with the N word we get knifed, shot, or worse. . . sued. . I have to say before folk start shouting at me I dont use the word myself. . this is just pure observation on expressions used by the two cultures. . just so we are clear. It appears even though I attempted to make it clear. . you missed the point anyway. . but hey ho. .
I am a veteran of the The Alfred E. Packer Memorial First Democratic Meal Kitchen Crew at the Philthadelphia Folk Festival, "Ain't Getting Nothing But Today's Best!" what do you think....
Oh, but you would. j/k, don't report me or anything. (No I'm not.) Seriously? The truth is that most of us - most of us - live in an enlightened world in which it is not cool to demean someone right off the bat with a word such as this. Not when we can get to know him first, and find out the many legitimate, pertinent ways of demeaning him. But there are parts of the country (yeah, I'm looking right at you, Spokane) where even today black people are routinely and casually referred to as ******s. And that's the ****ed up part.
Lets say you do eat wind up eating someone, and that person has a ***** would that make you gay if you choose to eat said *****? would that also make every man who has appeared on Fear Factor a zoophile for eating deer ****?
lol...they dont call us honkey. i grew up by the largest melting pot in the world. ive never once been called or seen someone called "white boy, or honkey" (the 2 terms id find offensive) in a serious nature.
You're probably right, but only if you take me to a dark, creepy basement with chains hanging from the ceilings and attached to chairs with strange torture devices...
