Not 100% sure the ****** is supposed to be. If it is what I think it is... poor form.

I don't understand how that's poor form.
So if he is saying:
I wear white boots i guess i must be a (homosexual slur).
Then he is saying I'd prefer to wear white boots and let you call me (homosexual slur) because it means more to me that I wear white boots than your opinion of me.

By implication the intent therefore is that he would prefer to align himself to whatever slur the swear filter left out and wear white boots than be one of those who would use that slur and not wear white boots.

So if that word is ****** or ****** or ****** or even ****** then I fail to see how it is poor form to attribute this to your own character.

Fair enough, but I'm not sure if that's what West_Coast_Eagles was thinking in his original post.

I think people are getting a bit worked up over nothing. I like black boots, some like white boots, others like fluorescent boots. Who the hell cares. I'm not sure how talking about the colour of boots descended into insults.

I like transparent boots personally.

Some of you fellow Mac-ers might dig these. It makes your dock look a fair bit more interesting.

I wear Adidas adipure 11pro's, mainly black with white stripes and a tinge of lime green. Always worn mainly-black boots, except in year 8 when I wore white adidas predators.

My next pair of boots will hopefully be blacked out, as I love the bland look about them. Del Piero wears blacked out boots, and makes them look good!

I think it's mainly that he took a step up from a word like 'puncey' which is more an adjective which refers to a man with feminine traits, up to one like ***ggot, which is a hateful slur, no real different from the N word, and that definitely comes off as reflective of one's personality.

Surely it's contextual.
If someone says "I wear white boots, so I must be a whatever", then surely the context is that they either accept that moniker or do not care that someone thinks of them as such.
Either way, if someone says I don't care if you think I'm a whatever, I am going to do what I want, then that can't be a slur on anyone else in that particular group.
If anything, it's allowing ones self to be identified with that group, and therefore accepting.

Using a word is not necessarily a hateful use of the word.
For example, if you say to me "you are a Bogan Skip", you might mean it as offensive, you might not.
If was to say to you "I drink beer, go to Bali for holidays and fancy chicks with tramp stamps, I'm a Bogan Skip", then it diminishes the offensive nature of the insult.

It depends on the severity of the word.

I'm thinking of a word relating to people considered black. It starts with the letter 'n.' Now, I don't really think that's acceptable either way. A white kid saying "we should lynch some -------" is awful. "my best mate is a great ------" is supposed to be endearing, but it's still awful and socially unacceptable.

This might be the internet, but it's a reasonably intelligent discourse. This isn't shooting the shit with your mates. If you wouldn't say a word to a stranger, it's probably best to not say it on here.

And if you are going to use that slur against gays with strangers, well, you have the social etiquette of a rat.

Yeh, well done to Liverpool on getting the 3 points!

What a player Suarez is.

 

[Feraligatr]

Yeah, me too.

 

[West_Coast_Eagles]

I totally agree nm it does not make sense.

I must say we have come a long long way for the good in the past 40 years in relation to this.
& thank god we have.

Ive never called anyone that name. Imo its very offensive.

But i would smile & laugh if one of my wog mates called me a aussie convict.
I would just say cook me some pasta ya wog. All in good humor & very sterotypical.




But stuff like this video are just beyond me that there was a show called this my freind thought it was funny i think its offensive.

That's me, moving posts and being pissed that it went that far off topic.

Not pissed that I had to move the posts, more that no one thought to bring the discussion in here where it belonged.

I silently protested by not being involved if that counts for something
