And the gears will spin.
And the sinners sin, but at least we'll give them hell.
And the righteous few will spit on you.
So bid them all farewell.

I have a hard time feeling sympathy for people who don't have the courage to take charge of their own lives.

It honestly sounds like you're frustrated about a ban and want to dress up the frustration to look like a legitimate point.

I agree, it seems that there are some inconsistencies with the blam filter. People have been ineffectively crying about this for ages, though. I'm sure we can just find other things to talk about, right?

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

I always thought that religious discussion was not allowed.I don't see why it would be.

I haven't really seen the word "Jew" used as an insult on the forums, actually now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever really even seen the word used here.

Loading.....

I never knew "Jew" was an offensive term. Because what I knew, was that Jew was referring to a person from a religion. Like Christian, and Muslim etc etc. Why should they ban it? It doesn't make any sense, cuz Jew isn't SUPPOSED to be offensive. So are those innocent words, but those words are much more often used as offensive language as it is a -blam!- reference. Jew on the other hand, is not.

I don't understand oral at all. I will never do that it is so nasty! And doing things in woods sounds scary.

OP, you are an idiot.
Now, by your logic, 'idiot' should be blam'd because it can be used offensively. See the flaw in your logic?

How I feel about this thread

Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien.
Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar.

If Bungie censors "Jew" then they should censor "Nerd" or "smartass". There's no need, uneducated people who abuse will be punished!

By the way my religion is "Bungie of the Se7en hea7ens".


LOL!

Same here.

Take a step back with me and enjoy a taste of the bittersweet that is our current generation.

I enjoy Battlefield and Call of Duty, and Gears of War.

20 years old, manager of my family's business, aspiring officer of the law.

I love anything political.

I am a Jew. I would find it more offensive if it were sensored than not, even if it were used in slang sense.

It is good to note that while I view it as offensive to have it sensored, it is very, very mildly so.

Hello! I'm Bunie.net's resident medical student (hell i'm sure there are more but I'm the only one who openly declares it!) I love my emblem, and I am periodically active.
I have a Twitter

Don't be ridiculous, how will the 'Jewish' people be able to say, hey i'm a jew. This is ridiculous.

What are we supposed to be discussing here?


"Nothing in the 'Verse can stop me."

I hear Jew used as a shortform more than an insult to be honest. Especially because it's not a slur it's at take on the work Jewish that is used to fit singular context.

A group of people believing in Judaism are Jewish.
ex: "They are Jewish. Look at those Jewish people."

But with the term Jew you can describe an individual better.
ex: "He is a Jew. I heard Tom is a Jew."

It makes for easier sentence structure to use Jew sometimes; at least how I see it. It's like calling someone for Turkey a Turk instead of Turkish (among a lot of other countries).

Mods, before you jump to conclusions that I am being anti-semetic and ban me...I was once banned for referring to somebody as a Jew.
