Quote Of The Day

Via Joe Huffman:

“An iron law of free speech on social media is that any site that allows you to use the n-word and call people homophobic slurs is going to be flooded by people who want to do nothing but use the n-word and call people homophobic slurs.” — Tamara K.

It’s something of a tightrope, to be sure.  The only reason I don’t allow ugly speech (niggers, Yids, etc.) on this website is because it’s impolite.  Far better to call the offender a miserable motherfucker because if we know one thing, it’s that motherfuckery knows no racial or ethnic boundaries.

I don’t care about homosexualism of either gender being referred to as homos etc. because it’s easier to type “homo” than “homosexual”, and “lesbo” than “lesbian”.  Or you can go the Jeremy Clarkson route:  “homosexualists”, “lesbianists” etc.

National nicknames are just that, and if the Frogs or Japs get all hissy about it, I don’t care.

You can call the fucking Greens whatever you want (see above).  Ditto vegans.

  1. Serious question here Tamara.
    Why can rap music and hood films “be flooded by people who want to do nothing but use the n-word and call people homophobic slurs.” ?
    Touché

  2. Don’t know what I’d do if this site was flooded by people calling me a slant eyed Polack.

    1. you’d have a lot of people to reply to

      I suppose if it was capitalized then they would be addressing you. Lower case letters might describe you.

      JQ

  3. KDT has triggered the following recollection: at one of my radio gigs once upon a time I worked with an insufferable leftist prick (but I repeat myself). Got his knickers in a twist over my gringo pronunciation of a Hispanic name & complained to the GM about it. My answer that I don’t speak Spanish was received less than sympathetically.

    My last name is Kotowski. I filed an HR complaint against the entire staff for mispronouncing it. In Polish, W is often enunciated as you would an F. That no one ever does that across the fruited plain is irrelevant. How dare you disrespect my ancestry. No one said another word about my spanglish after that.

  4. I harbor a significant distrust of the vegantariantist people.
    I think the vegantariantist mob are all hypocrites, liars, thieves, and incompetent to dress themselves without adult supervision.
    I honestly truly believe this universe and all the others will be better places after every vegantariantist is reduced to fertilizing their — former — gardens.
    .
    However, TheLeaderOfTheFreeWorld© should not be compared to vegetables.
    Prior to their timely eradication, some of the simple-minded vegantariantists might get the wrong impression… and steam him with a side of broccoli in a cashew hummus.
