It's not semantic games, it's conceptual knowledge and reasoning.

How can one offend a group without offending the individual members of a
group?

If a negro calls other negroes the "N" word is that offensive?

I have two very close Jewish friends who, in general, dislike Jews. Yes,
they're both from New York. Are they racist? If I dislike Jews for the same
reason am I a racist?

The error in your reasoning is that you think everyone thinks like you and
you have no consistent standards of what is offensive.

I'm proud to say that I am not prejudiced. I strive to offend everyone
equally.

Amen!

Play all the semantic games you want. It's offensive, and anyone who does
it is a troubled person.

Can the same be said about murder?

If one is murdered it's ok?

If a vast group is, then it's not?

So how does one offend a group without offending the members
individually?

So you are prejudiced against minorities, especially the smallest one,
the individual?

No one cares if it offends you. The point is that it offends the vast

No it's a game you like to play.

The error in your reasoning is that you think that playing games is the end
all and be all of existence and that civility has no place.

Let's back what you say with what one does. Who, over the years, has had a
more civil demeanor?

You or me?

Who has been reprimanded by their ISP for foul/abusive language?

You or me?

I would say that if I truly act as if civility has no place, then by that
standard alone you would be judged to be a savage.

For me enjoying life is the end all and be all of existence. I can make fun
of myself and of others. Who else uses the name of a 300 pound transvestite?

The fun I have here is pointing out hypocrisy in a jovial manner.

Why should I get mad at the abusive, the hypocrites, the mean spirited, the
irrational when I can have so much sport and entertainment with them in a
fun way?

Those people will never change, it's bred to the bone, so what's so bad
about mockery of the dysfunctional?

One last thing, if you ever did have a superior argument you would use it,
but alas, when reason is not on your side so you resort to other tactics.

Why can't you acknowledge and accept that others may be different? Why are
you so intolerant?

Don't bother responding. Those are just questions for you to think about.
Or, if you like, another game. Remember, I win if you respond.

Lighten up, life is too short and the world has too many problems - keep it
simple - just don't be one of the problems.

Amen!

Couldn't say. Do you think that because you end your posts with Amen, that
excuses bad behavior?

I certainly have *never* been reprimanded by my ISP for foul/abusive
language. Have you?

I think you're the one who needs to lighten up.

Oh, I forgot to say... you always win, right? Winning is very important to
you and a few others.

Don't games have winners and losers?

If I play games then the outcome would always be to win or lose.

I think one point of a game is playing to win, otherwise it's not a game.

I don't always win.

In this particular case we're both winners.

You got the last word, so according to you, you win!

I got you to respond, and as a condition of the game - I win!

A complete win-win situation!

Everyone can be a winner if they play by their own rules!!!

Amen!!!
