I think Mr. Cunt was referring to me, not Mr. Horuss.

Not saying this was the case here specifically, but I always find this to be a classic move of someone who "tolerates" another type of person.

That gay guy you work with is "a pretty cool guy", until he spites you somehow. Then he's a "fucking faggot".

Truth often comes out when you're "pissed".

If she was bitching about how they were sleeping on the job, I could understand how this could be construed as being a racist comment.
Since they working, I don't see how it's offensive with the exception that she pointed out that they were painters.

So is Horuss Mexican then?

If so that would explain the threat of violence toward mandroid.

ERawk, you are not allowed to point out it was in bad form for him to threaten her like that because violence against and disrespect of women is part of their culture and you'd be a bigot to not just accept it. In fact, just accepting it is not enough, you need to celebrate it and find it beautiful. OR ELSE.

And often it's the most convenient, obvious method to get right under the skin of the person who pissed you off, and has nothing to do with any "truth" about your feelings toward a group of people.

I was, and by fun I meant "not really fun at all" and "Tommy is right, as he always is when he turns the diplomatic tone on"


Wasn't it clear that Mandroid simply wanted to say something nasty because she couldn't sleep?

edit: Seriously, when you really want to sleep but something is distracting you from doing so - that's one of the most annoying things. Not that I think it was a smart thing to say, but I see where it came from and it doesn't appear like racism.

'soup, i think you're mistaking the prf for the no spin zone. stick to the funny.


i mean the truly funny.

I want you to understand that this man at the window is my painter.
He's not just some dingbat I found on the Strip. He's a foreigner. I think he's probably Samoan. What he does is a gross, physical salute to the fantastic possibilities of life in this country. My painter understands this concept, despite his racial handicap.

But do you?

I cannot and will not get along with some dude who walks in and says to a girl 'you better talk like I want a woman to talk or else I will beat you up'

Fuck that, dude's a ding-a-ling. Always will be from this point forward. Fuck him.

I know what you mean but I genuinely don't think Manda hates Mexicans. Maybe she will post here to say "I despise all Mexicans" and I will look stupid.

I think she was probably mad and she said something unfortunate in the heat of the moment.
