     IRC Nickname: Stokenut Group: Guest Posts: 2062 Member No.: 805 Joined: June 10, 2008 Total Events Attended: 112    | People that get offended by shit offend me Really, really needs to stop. WG has a really diverse community, but even I'm getting sick of the constant flow emotionally unstable members crying over words used on the internet. If anyone does it staff, member whatever. Joking or not, expect a MINIMUM 20% warn. Consider this your official warning. ------ That makes clear my thoughts on this. Words are just words. The context is what matters and I don't think anybody in WG, ever, uses them in a hateful tone and EVEN if they did, unless their comment is directed at a NAMED individual. That NAMED individual MAY then be able to make a complaint. IF the attack was an attack and not for the lulz. Man up. -------------------- Over 6 years of history and friendship, deleted over a difference in an opinion. --- Challenge any creationist to a debate. They'll run away and aggressively accuse you of "attacking" them and their "beliefs". I'm sorry, please, keep teaching our kids that they'll burn in hell if they don't believe. Mutilate their genitals against their will while you're at it. Keep influencing politics and holding back vital scientific research. I'll just keep my mouth shut to "respect" your "beliefs". | ||||||||

That being said, there is a line and sometimes people do cross it, and should be punished for. --------------------  24th to 2496 Overall ~ 29th to 120 Dungeoneering ~ Guardian since November 2007 ~ - I now play WoW lols - Server: US Jubei'Thos Faction: Horde 85 Blood-Elf Paladin 85 Troll Hunter | ||||||||

+1 When it comes to me, living in south Alabama for 16 of the 17 years of my life, I have a complete and total definition for a black person and a nigger. You know the scum that you see on the streets that are selling drugs, doing nothing with their life, are useless to society and/or kill people for petty shit? That is the latter of the two. --------------------      | ||||||||

 IRC Nickname: Kung_man149 Group: Higher Guardian Posts: 1054 Member No.: 2111 Joined: October 30, 2009 Total Events Attended: 79 | im rather fed up with people getting butthurt over words. when the hell will people realize that recism will always be around? so my solution to all these problems is man up and dont get butthurt over words because for god's sake words are words and it's honestly rediculous to even think that they can hurt. i mean if i was called ANYTHING i seriously would not over react because they are just words. Now if somone took a crowbar to me then i would react because it's solid. but yes good on you for putting a stop to this all. -------------------- Taken❒ Single❒ Mad✔ <+Mark``> i think the brothers GF is going into labour <+Mark``> I WANNA WATCH YU-GI-OH   | ||||||||

 IRC Nickname: Sgtswordfish Group: Guest Posts: 1737 Member No.: 1758 Joined: March 9, 2009 Total Events Attended: 64 | stereotype work wonders especially when it hinders people ability to live with fellow peers. when i came to the united states i only began to acknowledge myself as a separate entity from humanity. i became self-conscious that i was a race. i was segregated by force into certain tasks that where not my choosing. in wg it applies the same with people that pvp and those that skill. eventually applying context to a group in a negative manner hinders their image on the surface which makes it difficult and pointless to spend time proving otherwise. its also disrespectful and that in itself tells alot. --------------------  Goals 2011  | ||||||||

Racism comes under flaming. We're not going to ever fully agree on what stereotyped words mean or reach a compromise for it. But we're WG. We don't need to have arguments over stuff like this. The best thing we can do is avoid controversial debates like this, as it doesn't do our community any good at all. --------------------  [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same | ||||||||

| IRC Nickname: markenzie1 Group: Emeritus Posts: 790 Member No.: 2004 Joined: August 9, 2009 Total Events Attended: 180 | MY opinion i dont think ppl should use discriminating words or sentence. why would you, to make a joke? if the other one doesnt like the joke, why still make it. if after that you still make the mistake to say a word/sentence which is found discriminating just appolegy and please dont fight. if you feel unsure whether use it or not, just dont. --------------------   | ||||||||

A significant number of them were resettled to Israel because they requested citizenship and by Israeli law they have to be granted citizenship. -------------------- | ||||||||
