Good. In that case there won't be any need for you to again use the racist term that caused me to say you were one. I must say, I have never seen repentance so swiftly offered; time will tell.

So, is "cowboy" a racist term?

Try homophobic. :coffee:
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

It's also a sexual position where the man is on his back and the woman rides him like a bucking bronco. Reverse cowboy should be easy.

It's also a term for people in jobs like EOD who have started to take chances that are unacceptable for a professional.

AND a fair number of cowboys after the ACW were black. They went west to get away from the Southerners who didn't want them around anymore.

Nah I used the term because I liked getting the response It did , It's not the verbiage it's the intent ! something that political correctness fails to see . Just like a cockney friend of mine who (he's black) plays off when he walks into my house and Screams that there is a Nigger come visit so hide all the phones, the money and keep the wimmin away from his huge cock.

I object to the term because it can all too easily validate the bigotry of any passing bigot.

Very amusing I'm sure when used for comic effect by a friend who knows you really well and in private. A public message board, aimed at taunting people and attacking what you call 'political correctness', is a completely different thing and I'd suggest a more sinister agenda, so no, it's not "Just like" that situation at all.

I use the term, and others like it because of that .Holy shit we derailed the thread and now we are talking about PC not what bastards sand niggers are ! See are you getting it yet ? the only person to use gay as a pejorative on this forum was Lozzer ! and I think it was 'Zilla who popularised the use of Merkin .In martial arts it's called de-fanging the snake.

To be honest I don't care what you have gleaned about me from the handful of posts you have read rather than the nearly 25,000 you haven't Ex5

Well I am repulsed by that post. Feck, you can add yourself to my rapidly-growing list of people I'm not talking to here any more. Same goes for anyone who defends it. With any luck I'll be through the lot of you by Friday, then I can forget about this atheism-forsaken forum for good.

I started the use of "Merkin" because some friends of mine could never say "American". They were quite dangerous despite being little brown fuckers who couldn't spreak Engrish.

That was me, not Exi5. I'm not all that PC. Well, at least not in the tight-assed sense.

OK I admit it. What's wrong with stereotyping? You do it all the time? :what:
The difference between you and me is that I back up my arguments with evidence instead of hearsay.
Hearsay is evidence.
