Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: Yeah, 'cause NOBODY thinks of lynching as a great southern tradition of mob justice, ending in the hanging of nigrahs from the nearest tree.

'Cause all of those photos that KIKI found were just abberations from the REAL definition, possibly originated by Charles Lynch, whose portraiture and name are forever and indelibly linked with the word itself. [/sarcasm] First of all, RAPPY, you took a POSSIBLE WORD ORIGIN, and mixed it up with the current definition. It's a common dodge, when a word means something that you don't want it to mean, but the reality is that many words change their meaning over a couple hundred years, and in current lingo no longer mean what they meant "back then". During the times of the American South, "lynching" meant hanging - whether for blacks or whites. Most commonly, blacks. Furthermore, even the origin (which you cite) is a weak one. Notice the word obscure, and the fact that two people (not one) are listed as the possible/ likely originators. Quote:The origins of the word lynch are obscure, but likely originates during the American revolution. The term originates from the phrase "Lynch Law", a term for a punishment without trial. Two Americans during this era are generally credited for the phrase: Charles Lynch and William Lynch, who both lived in Virginia in the 1780s. Charles Lynch has the better claim, as he was known to have used the term in 1782, while William Lynch isn't known to have used the term until much later. There is no evidence that death was imposed as a punishment by either of the two men. Nice try, but no joy. The word means what it means.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote:I suppose you probably also think that niggardly is a racist term, right? And "thug" is a black criminal? Illiterate much??

I noticed that you PRESUMED I misunderstood those words, and so you presumed I was "illiterate". Turns out, you're wrong.

Quote: A special meeting about Dallas County traffic tickets turned tense and bizarre this afternoon. County commissioners were discussing problems with the central collections office that is used to process traffic ticket payments and handle other paperwork normally done by the JP Courts. Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed that central collections “has become a black hole” because paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office. Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted him with a loud “Excuse me!” He then corrected his colleague, saying the office has become a “white hole.” That prompted Judge Thomas Jones, who is black, to demand an apology from Mayfield for his racially insensitive analogy. Mayfield shot back that it was a figure of speech and a science term. A black hole, according to Webster’s, is perhaps “the invisible remains of a collapsed star, with an intense gravitational field from which neither light nor matter can escape.” Other county officials quickly interceded to break it up and get the meeting back on track. TV news cameras were rolling, after all. http://cityhallblog.dallasnews.com/2008/07/dallas-county-meeting-turns-ra.html/
Quote: Again, you have failed to recognize your own devices. Libtard illiterate D.C Councilwomen have redefined the word niggardly as an offensive racist slur, and the Libtard masses (Democrats) have supported the move. (they fired the Budget specialist who used the term)
Quote: President Bobo has explained the word "thug" is now exclusively applied to blacks, and is now a racist slur

And I could have sworn Joss used that word in Age of Ultron, to refer to a WHITE criminal. Albeit, he was in Africa...

Quote: Quote:you have failed to recognize your own Mine? Quote:devices What? First of all, what is a "device"? Makes no sense in the context as you used it.
Quote: Secondly... you claim these "devices" (whatever they are) are mine. Is that because you presume that anyone who isn't a rightwing idiot must be a liberal?
Quote: Thirdly, you seem to think this has happened previously. Well I don't remember it happening at all. If fact, I'm not sure what "it" is. So please explain. if you can.

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: In fact, the two ARE connected. If you support the death penalty, you're supporting the commission of murder. If you oppose the death penalty, you're against murder. Being "against murder" doesn't mean that you execute murderers. Isn't that doing what murderers do? Kill in cold blood for political and personal ends? The funny thing is, the death penalty is something I've changed my mind about .... twice! I grew up being against the death penalty because that was the household norm. Then, I got the idea of vengeance, and for a decade or so I supported the death penalty. But on further reflection, I see that it's just inconsistent with my other morals. Mistakes are made, innocent people are murdered (by the state) and the funny thing is... it doesn't even work to reduce crime.
