noc = pwned. oOo:
Two failed attempts at once. Love a bandwagon.

There is a difference between political correctness and respect for those who have passed on. For all you know, they died saving their children from a fire, or the man was a WWI veteran of the trenches or a WWII veteran from the 101st Airborne who made it through D-Day. That man could be solely responsible for your very freedom, and you instead want to make light of the fact that he'll never walk the Earth again.

How would you feel if they were your parents or grandparents and you saw people posting their grave site on the internet to make a cheap joke? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Here's a piece of advice: if you're a stupid fuck, don't try to flame me. Just shut the fuck up, stay seated and try not to make it quite so obvious how fucking retarded you truly are.[/quote:b0960]

ummm... ok, first off I dont really think we were making fun of them because they are dead, only because they have a rather silly name....

and i'm not trying to "flame" you... i dont see any insults in my post... it's obvious that your a smart guy and even if i dont agree with everything you say, it doesn't mean that i don't respect your arguments or what you have to say... Shorthand can take his big mouth "owned" comment and shove it, because that wasn't my intention... I simply don't understand where the line is drawn... it's ok to make jokes about anything, except dead people... i get it now...

if you wanna talk flames, then dont go off calling me "stupid" or "retarded", try engaging in a conversation about the content in my post that irks you...

it is politcally correct to not bash the dead. It is hypocrisy Noctis by being against people who are basically doing what you asked.

Pyro.

Political Correctness refers to forcing "political" terminology and lifestyles on people. It more or less defines the forced acceptance of "alternate terminology" (calling a black person an African-American, or a Mexican person Hispanic) as well as the acceptance of "alternate lifestyles."

I think it is ridiculous to try and relate such things to disrespecting people who have passed away. Just think about how it would make you feel if your mother passed away and three days later you see her freshly dug grave posted on a website with the remark, "Holy shit.. look how wide a hole they had to dig for this fat bitch."

There is a difference between political correctness and respect. It's called good judgement. Your argument is precisely the thing I want to fight, because you're trying to blur and/or remove entirely the lines - whether for the good of the fanatical progressives or the anarchists.

And bukduz, I didn't mean to snap. When your opening line said to stfu, it pretty much gave the "fuck you" tone to the rest of your post. If that wasn't your intent, then I apologize for my brashness.

Sure it is, but it isn't disrespectful to call them black. And if it is, then why isn't it disrespectful for them to call me white? Trust me, just stop posting. You lose.

I think we can all agree that any asshat who dies in the following manner:

[quote:4bdf4]Attempts to gain entry to liquor store by breaking window with brick. Throws brick at window. Window is plexiglass. Brick bounces back and strikes said asshat in temple and causes severe head trauma, resulting in convulsions and said person choking to death on their own vomit.[/quote:4bdf4]

Deserves to be called out to the masses.
