Wednesday, September 7, 2005 at 4:18 AM with fights, i usually choose by what country they're from, not their skin color... for example i'll usually root for brazilians over anyone, then japs, then americans, then the dutch, and finally russians. —GooseAss |

Wednesday, September 7, 2005 at 6:10 AM Why is 'japs' considered racist and not PC. It's just shortening the word "japanese". We call Jewish people "jews" and no one cares. Isn't that the same thing —rayray |

Wednesday, September 7, 2005 at 6:20 AM Aside from the fact that racism doesn't exist, I would have thought that referring to them as Japanese is racist as it presupposes them because they are Japanese.
Elsewise why even bother attributing them with Japanese status. Abitrary comedy?
Also, Jews require definition otherwise they're just ordinary Europeans. No matter how muddled you get about notions of ethnicity and their import/export to the human global genome consciousness, their is a group of islands named Japan (but not by those that live there) and people do live on the islands. Forget about the word Jew and "they" are just people up in the mix.
It's like how you say "Michelle Trachtenberg is a goddamn jew" and the other person is like, imagining, like, "why you gotta be so anti-semitic?" and then I'M like, hey, first of all, Russian Jews are not semitic, and secondly I'm not anti-Russian Jew.
And bloodsports are only enjoyed by people with deep psychological problems. —MajandraFan |

Wednesday, September 7, 2005 at 7:17 AM Why is 'japs' considered racist and not PC. Because of the historical context, as is the case with "Negro" or "Chinaman". These terms were acceptable in relatively recent times, but they evoke memories of a time when these groups were racially subjugated. Taking your question to the most extreme, one could say: "Why is 'nigger' considered racist? It's just a derivation of 'Niger'". —Full Meat |

Wednesday, September 7, 2005 at 7:21 AM This episode of 'Too Late' set a new low for the Aceman bombing on TV. I was wincing in embarrassment for him the entire show. I've given up defending Adam's genius to my friends. —Full Meat |

Wednesday, September 7, 2005 at 11:13 AM I really think Adam would do better if he had a sidekick (ala Paul Schaeffer) to whom he could direct his comments and get a response. Talking to the camera or audience doesn't give him the feedback he needs for a comfortable interaction. —pookie |

Wednesday, September 7, 2005 at 10:39 PM ~an excerpt from American Psycho~ "Oh, I almost forgot," I say, reaching into my pocket. "I wrote you a poem."
"Oh Patrick." She smiles. "How sweet."
"Well, you know," I say, looking down shyly.
Bethany takes the slip of paper and unfolds it.
"Read it," I urge enthusiastically.
She looks it over quizzically, puzzled, squinting, then she turns the page over to see if there's anything on the back.
"It's like a haiku, you know?" I say. "Read it. Go on."
She clears her throat and hesitantly begins reading, slowly, stopping often. "'The poor nigger on the wall. Look at him.'" She pauses and squints again at the paper, then hesitantly resumes. "'Look at the poor nigger. Look at the poor nigger... on... the... wall.'" She stops again, faltering, looks at me, confused, then back at the paper.
"Go on," I say, looking around for a waiter. "Finish it."
She clears her throat and staring steadily at the paper tries to read the rest of it in a voice below a whisper. "'Fuck him... Fuck the nigger on the wall...'" She falters again, then reads the last sentence, sighing, "'Black man... is... de... debil?"
The couple at the next table have slowly turned to gaze over at us. The man looks aghast, the woman has an equally horrified expression on her face. I stare her down, glaring, until she looks back at her fucking salad.
"Well, Patrick," Bethany says, clearing her throat, trying to smile, handing me the paper back to me.
"Yes?" I ask. "Well?"
"I can see that"-she stops, thinking-"that your sense of... social injustice is"-she clears her throat again and looks down-"still intact." —HocusPocus |
