#39 Thanks for reminding me. I got busy, forgot to burn my ponchos so you can't defile them.

to be phukdup again.........hmmmm



it would only be a matter of time before someone would cry they wanted me to change it again though.




oh.......sorry 8track

wasn't reffering to you

I would surely feign outrage.

I'm offended. Did I say that already?

Not nearly as offended as I am.

I'm offended that you're offended.

I think I should also be offended by the fact that I was offended.

My offendedness turned to feigned outrage. That is worse than just offendedness.

(Similar to threat level orange versus yellow)

who has the virus ?

fifty

well....if you have a speckled trout......I'd say you do pablo

...Doh

I'm thinking of changing my handle to "legalizeit" just to offend Mr. Potts.

Ahhh, but it's wafer thin.......

I am offended by the HockeyDad's offensiveness.

8track,

Re# 1

Funny but not accurate. Actually really funny.

Disco is very offensive I think it should be removed from your user name. It promotes a drug sub-culture that has turned poor innocent ghetto children into crack heads. They would never have done that if "Disco" wasn't born.


Your definition's are a little slanted. I have been called both of those names for the better of 20 years (lived in Puerto Rico from 1989 - 1991, and married to a Puerto Rican since 1990). I am proud to be called either "gringo" or "cocolo".

I often have to explain to hispanics that I am actually a gringo - because I speak spanish with a very strong puerto rican accent, and they just don't believe I am white. They think I am a fair skinned puerto rican.

I have been called "cocolo" for years because of the passion I have for salsa music (I didn't come up with it). It is the equivilent of the term "rocker" that was used in the late 80's and early 90's, meaning a person that is a pure salsa listner (like a salsa singing Jose Dirt).

The term "cocolo" as a derogatory word went out about the same time as americans (both black and white) stopped using the word "colored" for african americans. I am sure some cultures still occasionaly use it in a derogatory manner.

I have never had any person become offended by either of those terms, with about 20 years of use across all cultures.

There is also a very different meaning of slang and slur, although some slang can also be slurs.

I will continue to ask for deletion of any thread that contains any racial slur or disparages an entire race or religion. The origional thread had several. If you didn't read it, then you have no idea what it said.
