Every Okie is an indian. I bet my girlfriend is more native than him and I thought she was white for the first several years I knew her (because she is for all intents and purposes).
If you were to rob a gas station and the clerk wouldn't think to tell the cops he was robbed by a Native American, you're probably white. Simple test.
nothing you could ever say would ever be funny to me.
No. Dead serious. If you report an issue, the mod can't cover it up and all the mods will see it. If serious enough, pm or email the owner.
Contrary to some popular belief, the mods are not gods.
But you read me wrong. I'm saying if you are offended by something on the Internet, grow thicker skin. If someone is being mean to newbs, then report it.
Being offensive is bad, but being easily offended isn't much better.
Calm down wouldja? Make it a donut shop.
Dang. I wanted to get some semblance of a community going and now this thread has been derailed to death by donut!
1/4 myself and blindingly white. I have a friend who is a bit more Cherokee than I am and he is so white my daughter coined the phrase "Mark Last Name white".
That's just mean. You know that I can't eat donuts since the surgery.
Ok, seriously WTF!!? This thread started about where this forum has headed, and now we have people complaining about other being offensive, guess what, I guarantee we are all freaking offensive to someone at some point in time, and this **** is on the Internet! I'm Native American and I let 99% of the crap people say roll off my chest, why the hell would you let someone you don't even freaking know get you all pissed off over some f$&King words that you may find offensive for your own reasons?! Sorry OP, but your thread is far from resurrecting, this is a problem with folks nowadays, quit getting your damn feelings hurt and do your own thing! You cannot change someone no matter how freaking hard you try, I've been reading this crap for days now waiting for a someone to just say to hell with it, if you can't handle someone's opinion, mod or not, and I'm not saying I agree with all of their crap, then avoid it! It's pretty damn simple, just cause the world wants this to be a PC society doesn't mean it ever will, I'm not changing my personality or beliefs for anyone but me and I wouldn't expect anything less from anyone else, I haven't been a member here for as long as a lot of other folks but I've been here long to know what this thread was originally about, speak your mind, and if that isn't enough, well, as my grandad always said, tough titties
I am not easily offended by anything, but some things are offensive, S4F and his posts are offensive. The topic of the thread is more or less, why aren't people posting on OSA, which I answered with an example of how a mod such as S4F can run people away. If S4F does not like being used as an example of what is wrong with this forum, then he should change his behavior. If this forum wants to improve its membership, then S4F would be a good place to start. Just ask yourself, if you were a short person, or other physically different person, would S4F avatar, as a mod, say Welcome Aboard or Hey, we are a big group of bigots?
