like is the wrong word. LOVE would be more like it but still... "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it." or another way... a slur is a slur. some are just more acceptable than others. I find it 'amusing' which ones are considered acceptable or 'not really offensive' by many who wouldn't use lots of the 'big slurs'- you can see them below ( or wherever the comment moves later... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2078517 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2078517 ) where mr. edit decided to try to slander me in a way that i don't take as slander. i look forward to his future edits, more justifications for slurs and awesome pinboard features and honestly, none of that was ironic. i firmly believe in agree to disagree especially when it comes to language and what is and is not acceptable. if pansy was used to make a point like ( o o o topical ) 'nigger' and 'injun' are used in huck finn, i would have no problem- the author would be making a point rather than just having a tin ear ( i assume the best in people ). but... as it is, i am going with at best... tin ear. EDIT: btw... 'nobody' is a strong word and i call bullshit on that. if you think nobody means pansy in a derogatory fashion then you are either naive or have you head up your ass or live on big rock candy mountain. and if live on big rock candy mountain, can i get on for the same pricing as pinboard?
