I would put him at 6ft 4 inches

I think he’s actually an even 6’. He may look taller these days because he’s spending less time standing next to Mr. Obama, who’s 6’2”.

All the language I've read in this forum along with the hateful slurs about Christians and others, and I can't even use that word in that context. I can use the term Christards with impunity and so many others, but don't use the n word even in a non-threatening context.

When I got thrown off a Christian forum I was incredulous, but I always respected this forum for allowing members to express themselves. And man I got expressed at in some tough, insensitive language. I've lost that respect for this forum.

Edit: Since you don’t appear to be familiar with the rule in question, here it is in full:

Quote:

1. The use of hate speech targeting race, gender, sex, and sexual orientation are prohibited. This includes the usage of slurs. 
   
   An exception will be made if the hate speech itself is being discussed, however even in these cases, members should make the intent of the discussion clear and censor any slurs using asterisks (e.g. f*ggot) or some other reference (e.g. the n word).
   

You will note that this is not a rule against rude speech or insults, and that it does not cover religionists.

I thought Mr. Biden did very well at his presser, btw.

Where was my hatred expressed? Simply stating the word is hate speech?

Did the phrase ‘This includes the usage of slurs’ escape your notice? If it didn’t, are you contending that the n-word isn’t a slur (I get that you were not using it as a slur in your post)?

What did you think of Biden’s response to the question about the voter suppression laws currently under consideration?

You can't slur an idealogy 

Quote: and I can't even use that word in that context. 

The N-word is nothing like insulting your beliefs 

Quote:I can use the term Christards with impunity and so many others, but don't use the n-word even in a non-threatening context.

Yup, you can insult an idealogy all-day. It's not the same as the N-word.

Quote:When I got thrown off a Christian forum I was incredulous, but I always respected this forum for allowing members to express themselves.

I'm hard-pressed to think of a time the N-word was acceptable here 

Quote: And man I got expressed at in some tough, insensitive language.

Yup because  insulting Ideologies and personnel insults are not the same as the N-word 

Quote: I've lost that respect for this forum.

Well bye bye then

The rule is intended to eliminate slurs (unless they are against Christians, etc). You agree that I didn't use the word to slur anyone. Let's get back to common sense in our discussions. We're doing stupid things like firing that liberal magazine editor because she used some mild racial slurs 10 or so years ago. And I thought the inquisition was bad.

He already there. It's you who's lagging

Nothing stupid about that.

Too bad it's nothing like the inquisition (getting fired is nothing like getting dragged off and tortured )
