It boils down to "don't be a dick." And being racist is being a dick. I closed the other thread, because it had degenerated into a thinly-veiled "white people are superior to these silly Chinese" sort of thing. As long as you keep it civil and funny you are good to go. Use this thread to act in a way that Stormfront would approve of, and it will go the way of the other one (along with a few bans.)

The survival of this forum is dependent on people growing up, not acting like lovely teens, so good on Genesplicer.

Agreed. Let's not turn GBS into /pol on 4chan, which the last thread increasingly resembled.

There's a happy medium between the heavy-handed censorship of old GBS and a free-for-all.

this thread is funnier than the old one. lovin it.

Well the alternative is an environment that chases off people like Genesplicer himself, who is known for providing interesting and insightful content that people actually want to read.

he doesn't know what racism is and closed a thread due to that.

sincx posted:

So what was the purpose of the constant use of the word nong, even after repeated discussions of its appropriateness, when there are tons of other words that are better?

Ironic racism is still racism.

just an fyi it's racism if i go "i bet my ethnically chinese but born and bred american coworker shits in the street and kicks open elevator doors and falls down them due to his race...it is inherent in his blood despite growing up in the same culture as me". maybe you guys should learn the meaning of words

Arright, small words.

The Anglo-Saxon is already bastard enough that you have some leeway before you end up sounding moronic. Well, more moronic than English does anyhow. There is less in others, especially if they decline, where you have words changing depending on variety of factors or are tonal, as anyone with a stupid name (loving lunch round? seriously?) would tell you.

It's monoglot conceit and arrogance most of the time, where they smugly wonder why they don't 'do it the right way' which really just means 'do it like my language does it' and it's equally tiresome when it's the Anglos, the French or the Germans.

english is pretty lovely and illogical but at least it aint tonal and uses an alphabet.

i like the dude getting a tad bothered i asked about how chinese did scientific names despite the fact in my original post i said english is lovely (it's just chinese is way shittier - if you use tones and never developed an alphabet you can't call any language poo poo).

I always thought that high heels are the modern version of foot binding. But according to women I talked to, apparently heels are like dress shirts for guys; it's rude to not wear them to any sort of formal or semi-formal occasion.

like elgroucho said it makes their legs look better (since the muscles tense) and makes their butt stick out. do you know what foot binding waS???

This is Taiwan's claim as well. It's obviously a completely distinct entity, but you were talking about treaties.

"Taiwan" (ROC) was in the UN and a perminent memeber of the security council until 1971. Its only veto was against the inclusion of Mongolia in the UN, because Taiwan claimed that Mongolia along with China belonged to it. lol
