I have the solution. ABBA:

It's the only band all African-Americans don't like --> Contrabbas

It's the only music where white people dance better on then any of the other races -->Proabbas

Asians playback it the best --> Playabbas

I totally see where Jay was coming from.  I also thought Tweek was being a prick.  Then again, I happen to know that Tweek is a prick.

Tweek, maybe you have a new magic monitor, but I have an old fashioned one and that makes it hard to read tone and intent.

I'm glad it's all resolved and all...  I just think you shouldn't have gotten so defensive toward 12.



As an aside, it doesn't sit well with me to throw the "freedom of speech" argument into the face of someone who has defended that freedom for you.

Out of curiosity, Detta...

Does this mean that a person should never have a debate about freedom (or defend their own rights to their freedoms) or the Constitution or the Bill of Rights with someone that has served any time in the armed forces?

Hey!  I wasn't here before.  I was on vacation.  So, yes, this AGAIN.  And, the question wasn't directed to you.  And, your answer implies that I'm resurrecting the big argument in the thread when clearly I'm not.  I'm simply wondering about Detta's comment, which is pretty far removed from the Tweek and 12 showdown regarding freedom and racial slurs.

Hmm, no I don't quite mean that.  People are free to debate whatever they want.  But when someone yells racial slurs and then gets punched in the face for it...it's not really going to fly to yell "HAY, FREE SPEECH!!".  I don't consider that a debate.

Free speech means that you can say what you want without fear of consequences from the government.  Certain people made that right possible and others hide behind it when they get an unfavorable reaction to what they said.  It puts a bad taste in my mouth, that's all.

I totally agree with you on everything you said, except the getting punched in the face part.  I don't know that I'd agree that someone should be physically assaulted because of their words (in your specific instance).  As to the underlying idea, I totally concur.

I suppose I understand the bad taste; the one in my mouth is just usually caused by something totally different.   :-)

that's what it means. but now the government has put in so many qualifications (such as: okay, it doesn't apply on public airwaves, and it doesn't apply if you work for us, and it doesn't work if your a minor (for the record, I'm not) and you have to get a license to just about anything) that Free Speech is practically dead anyway.

   A simple "oh fuck you, 12" wouldv'e sufficed.
