Has WoW removed the speed limits?

The saddest thing about this Forum, in general, is the complete and total misuse of the word "racist".
As is indicated by so many posts here, the majority of you have no fucking clue what that word actually means and it is constantly - and consistently - misused. I believe this is done intentionally, to make the "issue" that is being discussed become incendiary.
Godwin's Law should be amended to include "racist".
Not one single thing Kelly Osbourne said, in that clip, is racist in any way, shape, or form.
"rac·ist
ˈrāsəst/
noun
noun: racist; plural noun: racists
1.
a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another."

I'm talking about any celebrity, I can tell you didn't follow the conversation.

The important take away from this is that Rosie Perez later apologized to Kelly for the angsty PC reaction. I accept Rosie's apology.

What qualifications do you have to talk to people about politics? What is a talk show but a message board on TV. Now you can argue that her opinion may be misinformed or factually incorrect, but the very nature of our political system is that everyone is supposed to have a say in the matter, even if we greatly disagree with them.

It's easier just to buy them some wax for their cross rather than try and explain it to them yet again. Originally Posted by JfmC

Do you include Trump as a celebrity? Because she as a celebrity is talking about another celebrity running for office. Originally Posted by zenkai

Yeahhhhhhh that was pretty cringe-worthy. Hopefully she realizes what she said after the show.

What the FUCK are you trying to implying with your insidious and snide little comment? That I am a member of the KKK? Just because I point out the misuse of the word racist? Fucking please - what a childish, immature, and completely fucking stupid reply you wrote. Originally Posted by unfilteredJW

Interesting you read that much into my comment aimed at your constant victim complex laden moaning you partake in on these forums. Originally Posted by Ransath

Well, in that case I hope your sig is ment in a sarcastic manner, because Trump campaign basicly revolves around insults, discrimination, racism and sexism. Originally Posted by Ransath

Do I maybe sense a hint of hidden guilt and denial?
You don't have to be a member of the KKK to be a racist, you can be hardcore anti racist and super tolerant towards anyone whatsoever and still make a racist comment by slip of the tongue (which doens't automaticly make you a racist, accidently saying something racist is far from actually being racist).
Also, you're the one resorting to insults the minute someone insinuates something that might be damaging to your reputation, that is in and of itself childish.
And again, you might be in a foul mood because you stubbed your toe or something which causes you to trow insults, but somehow I think that chance is slim, smoke and fire and stuff.Last edited by mmoc013aca8632; 2015-08-31 at 09:10 PM.
