lol read it again then look up the definition. not native but "naive"

o sorry, i didnt have my glasses on and it looked like there was a t in there

and i dont mean the campaign is racist, they campaign is everything but racist, well, except for the covies, they're racist, but thats not the point of this topic, its the people online

and for whoever said racism isnt against the law and it doesnt matter, let me guess, your a white guy arent you, i live in a very racist community and go to a white dominant school, theres is almost no minorities or ethinicity in my town and every one thats not white gets picked on and beat up, theres only a few black guys that go to my school that nobody messes with and thats only cause they're the strongest kids in school and have beaten other kids to a bloody pulp for bein racist

Cops are dicks. You can call one of them "Bub" and get arrested for it. Why? Because they're dicks. And to who said he can make them shut up or leave: So he goes into THEIR server, and make them shut up or leave? SO if I make a room called "I HATE JEWS", someone can come in there and actually make me shut up or leave? And whos place is it to do so? Certainly not any of you. Its called "freedom". Look it up. I can hate who or what ever I want and its nobody's place to try to do something about it. And to the above poster, it really doesnt matter. Who makes it matter? The people who dont like it and cant do a damn thing about it. It. Doesnt. Matter. You. Cant. Change. Anything. Why. Bother. -blam!-ing. And to Anton: I'm not talking about harassment. I'm talking about racism. Its not against the law. You dont have to harrass to be a racist.

Well, actually your wrong.

Thats deemed offensive, probably under racial harrassment.

Peronsally, I dont care what server you make, it will only attract people like yourself (better they are there than where Im playing).

But assuming your going to be linked to your copy of halo2 by live anywhere, or some other subscription system, you could easily get caught/banned/deactivated/whatever. Hey, maybe we will all get lucky and you will stay on halo 1.


Oh, and not all cops are dicks. Thats like me saying everyone with halo PC names like New001 are racist idiots.

dude, just cause your free doesnt mean you can be a dick to people who are different, and if you were part of an actual minority it would matter to you, but i can tell that your just a white guy that doesnt get pulled over by cops or get the -blam!- kicked out of him for having darkskin

I'm not racist in the least. Because it doesnt matter to me. And just because it IS against a rule, doesnt mean its against the law. And the next time you get stopped by a cop, call him something. Nothing offensive. Something like Bub. I guarantee you that 90% of them will make your punishment worse or find something to punish you for. And to above guy. I dont think you know a damn thing about me. Just because I'm white doesnt mean -blam!-. OH and I dont get pulled over by the cops huh? You must know that because you know me personally. Oh wait...I've been arrested twice and I've got tickets. So it looks like you dont know everything huh smart guy? Oh and I may not have dark skin, but I have been beaten up for being white back in middle school. Just because I say it doesnt matter doesnt mean I'm some rich white boy -blam!- who never has anything bad happen to him.

No problem crow just keep your glasses on when you are reading lol. And New420 I know this is your opinion and you are new to the forums and all but please try to make your posts a little less, how can I say this. extremely up front and in your face, not that you can't do that it's just smart to leave a good first impression on us when you come here for the first time so try to keep the flaming to a bare minimum.

I understand what you are saying Wildkyle, but I'm the type of person that doesnt care what kind of impression I make, I say what I want and I dont care who I say it to. Because if I feel it needs to be said then I say it.

I think it's a bit funny that we play a game where we obliterate each other over and over and we worry that someone might get their psyche damaged by an insult.

yeah, that is kind of funny

and yes it does suck being in a racist society, the only way not to get the crap beet out of you for bein different is to either be white or work out and be stronger than everybody else and beet the crap outof them for talkin smack to you

I love how you think being white would solve the problem. You do know that white kids get beat up all the time when they are the minority in schools. *GASP* Yes there are schools that are made up of mostly non-White kids. I know its hard to accept but its true.

dude i swear there i a fight almost every day and its always involving a group of white kids ganging up on a darker colored kid for no reason
there is barely any white kids that ever get picked on and get into a fight with other white kids at my school, ive only seen that happen once, along time ago

It has gotten out of control.

Cussing is ok, I don't see anything wrong as long as their not using F*** I'm cool with it. It is just part of the english language. How can you ban someone for that. "You know to much english now I ban you." WTF?

Racist has really gotten out of control. Here is the worst thing I have ever saw said in halo.
A Jew: I wonder where my parents are?
-(erased)-: Probably at a consintration camp.


It is horrible. You can't go on any server now without having 1001 rules or a bunch of racist.

maybe its the way the kid was acting, srsly you can only take so much of black people pretending to be gangsta, or w/e, hell all the black kids at my school pretend they are and talk big, but when it comes to the fight they either run, or fight like women.

no, there is only one or 2 gangster acting black kids at my school and they're the ones that never get picked on cause everyone knows theyll get the crap beet outa them everyone else is quiet and keeps to themselvs
like last year, the black kid whos locker is right next to mine was minding his own business and getting his books, all the sudden 3 white kids walked up, called him a -blam!-, grabbed his collar, through him down and started kicking him, now how fare is that? they cracked one of his ribs and seriously bruised him all over, even broke his nose, just cause he was black!
and zeph, i know that, but seriously, its time to grow up and except people no matter what there skin is

What are you, the Cyber police? lol.

Some people are retarded and do that, they think they're cool, one day what scared me was I saw a game that had a lot of writing that said [bMk] try outs and say heavys and the site they had, then after it said -blam!-s or germans only, I saw a couple other games called jews only/catholics only. WTF? Like I said some people are retarded and think its cool by being F**ing -blam!-.

FYI, -F***- is from an old English word meaning to plow or plant a field.

Its also an anagram(?) from old English. I forget what the F and U stand for but the rest is 'Consent of King'. It was posted on doors when they were allowed to reproduce. And crow, I'm not denying thats the way it is in your school. I'm just saying that there are a lot of schools where thats switched around and the White kids get beat up because there are only a couple of them and a lot of non-White kids.

What? Play a game? FOR FUN???
This concept of fun confuses and infuriates me!

New420, go up to a hispanic or african american. Call them an offensive racial word. Do you expect them to pat you on the back and be best friends with them?
No. They and if their buddys are there, will beat the holy living hell out of you for calling them a racist term.
This aint 1950. You can't insult other minoritys freely anymore. You do get in trouble for it. And I doubt that a cop would mind if when he pulled me over, and asks for license and regrestration, that I respond with "sure thing bub".
Im sure that I would be thrown in prison for calling the officer "bub".
Thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
And even if you don't care about calling people racial slurs or insulting others cultures, other people do. And thats what matters. Slum like you in the places that do care, wont get away freely for calling people the n word.
Straighten up your act. Just because you live in the U.S. doesnt mean that you can call people the n word freely and open. People look down upon it. How old are you, 17? 18? Mature some dude.
And on racism, I also believe that most people are raised to believe that this minority is bad, or its good, or that we as this certian culture is greater than the rest of the world. No culture is better than the other. Some are more advanced than the rest, but that doesnt make them better. Take the US. We are much more advanced than some of the tribes in Africa. Does that make us better? No! We are just more dependant on technology then they are. They live and thrive with their own ways of hunting and governing. They don't need nukes or heavy machines.
The Native Americans. They were IMO, very smart in their ways of living. When they hunted, lets say Buffalo, they wouldnt waste any of it. All of the parts were used for somthing. If we hunted them now, most of it would just get wasted. Its sad really.

Its called "freedom". Look it up. I can hate who or what ever I want and its nobody's place to try to do something about it.
Don't confuse freedom with "I can do whatever the hell I want!" because that's not true. Because if that was true, I could murder everybody at my school and the federal system couldn't do anything about it.

And unfortunately, he's right. You can be racist. Take the Ku Klux -blam!-. It's legal for them to exist, ain't it?

Okay conman. Of course they'll whip someones ass if they called them a racial slur. I never said they wouldnt. And when I got pulled over, I said that EXACT THING. "Sure thing bub." He asked if I wanted to take a ride in his backseat. And I never said you would go to prison. That would be an overexxageration on your part. And I do live in the U.S. When have I said I use the word open...or even at all for that matter. I said I'm not racist. Jackass. I agree that no culture is superior to another.

Well, due to a kind of loophole, yeah.
The reason they arent all in jail, is because they arent actually going out and doing things like lynchings or things like that. Then they would be in deep crap. But due to the right to assemble and freedom of speech, they do still exist. Same with any other racist clans. As long as they don't go out and kill people of the minoritys they hate, they are free to exist. And hopefully one of the future presidents can make a loophole to fix another, banning racial groups from existing.
But we can only dream. The U.S is heading down a hill anyway, and the bottoms not for a long way. We can only wait and see what the future holds.
