Actually Chef, that isn't how "Redneck" came into existence. The term came from the Appalachian Coal mines. Miners who were apart of the Coal Mine Union were Red Scarves around their necks to symbolize that they were apart of the unions. This took place around the Coal Wars(Battle of Blair Mountain). Also to show that miners wanted to "unionize". The term also was used around the time the Hatfield-McCoy Feuds took place.
Actually, Burr, The Scottish migrated here well before unions were even established. SO BYAAAAAA!

But the term was not used until the West Virginia Coal Wars.

And just so you know, dumbass, redneck is as much of a racial slur as any other insult based on race, creed, etc.

Rednecks are not a race.

They are not a race, but it is still technically slander. It can refer to a southerner/anyone with a southern accent. Or it is also what Scottish people were called when they migrated to the Americas because they wore red scarves. Either way, words are still words. What makes a derogatory term more offensive than someone calling you a bitch? People over complicate things.

Is Mikayd really unemployed and on welfare?

He couldnt afford a PS3 at 1 point so the stupid immigrant bought 4 controllers for it (I guess this was before Obama raised welfare for people too lazy to work), and he is obviously mentally challenged yet claimed to be "working from home".

Why do I personally want it legalized? Because I live in Mississippi and I hate all these people. I want there to be a big federal law legalizing it so I can sit back and watch the chaos.

Why would you want gay marriage legalized right now? Thats brilliant, lets give more people marriage benefits to take more federal money that we don't have in the first place.

I agree, lets remove the benefits from marriage and same sex unions. Being taxed differently because you have a partner is bullshit.

One step closer.
Hopefully this won't go to a vote like the conservatives want. If we had always let this type of thing go to a vote, I wouldn't even be allowed to vote in this country.
Sometimes the majority does the wrong thing.

Says the one too stupid to know the true meaning of a word, even though I clearly stated it.

So because you stated a meaning not held at all in contemporary culture that is what it means? You're the one being stupid. To use that word against a black member of this forum is not funny. Even if you think you're being hilariously outrageous, which is what it looks like.

It has nothing to do with his race, actually. He is an ignorant piece of unemployed shit, who after being fortunate enough to immigrate from Africa to USA decided to talk shit about the US and call me "white boy". I refuse to be called "boy" by anyone who hasn't earned it, and being an unemployed piece of immigrant trash living off of welfare is definitely not earning it. I dont care what someones race is, I care about intelligence, work ethic, and accomplishments. He has none of those traits. If I offended anyone else who is black, my apologies, I was trying to incite MikayD.

Sexuality isn't as simple as straight and gay. Sexuality refers to anything we can be attracted to. It's just a preference.

Damn straight.

It's not that simple though. There's a fine line between having a joke with friends/colleagues, and harrasment. In your case, it sounds like your co-workers crossed it, but that doesn't mean you should just "Suck it up". The guy was driven to depression, and in the UK there have been many white-on-white instances in the army where young soldiers have committed suicide in their barracks because there was no one to talk to. I hope the guy on the other thread gets a fucking huge pay out, and I hope Microsoft learn a lession and take those responsible to disciplinary. The simple fact is, all it would have taken is a manager to say "Knock it off" and it would have been nipped in the bud. Now this guy is probably fucked for a career because who is going to want to take him on? It's shit, pure and simple.

And now I sound like a right-on asshole too. Fuck.

Maybe you missed my point. When nothing was done, he could take it higher up to the actual MS EO, not just Lionhead. Im almost 100% certain that a large corporation like MS would want to avoid lawsuits, and therefore would take action.

As for the being butthurt, oh well. If you're different(in an unnatural way) youre going to get made fun of. Shit happens, and he shouldve have kept it to himself that he was gay. Just like the person bitching about being banned on LIVE. Its no one's business if youre gay or straight, and the faggots(yes, I said it) would play the victim card if everyone went around proclaiming how theyre straight. Double standards equal fail, which everyone (except that stupid nigger(means ignorant, not black) MikayD) understands.

Holy Jebus, redneck.

I support anything that upsets the status quo. The tyrany of majority pisses me off.

Oppression isn't ok just because most people agree.

The gay community hasn't gotten angry enough yet. They're still being too nice about the social double standards. They need to start a seriously large scale movement. Start interrupting people's lives and livelyhoods.

Hell, my ancestors were beaten in the street and chased down by dogs before this country decided to give them equal rights. The gay community hasn't earned it yet.

The whole gay pride thing bothers me. The gay community at large I'm sure would settle for being equal, but that's not what gay pride is all about. Gay pride is about special privilege for a specific group of individuals, and I think that's out of order.

I don't expect gays to approve of my lifestyle, because, be it due to my faith, or my bull-headedness, I'm just not looking for societal approval in my lifestyle habits. As a straight guy, I find gay behavior gross, and expressing that gets me a lot of flak. Gross in the same way that I find beastiality, or BDSM or elderly people getting it on gross. It just does nothing for me.

If gays don't want to be "treated differently", then perhaps nose-rubbing those differences in the faces of the rest of the 97-99% of the world isn't such a good idea.

Double standards equal fail, which everyone (except that stupid nigger(means ignorant, not black) MikayD) understands.

Watch it.

I know what you're implying, but your connotation isn't held by the community at large. Find a new word.

Nice to see some sense when we have another thread about someone being bullied out of their job because of their sexuality followed by a list of "ROFL" comments.

If people are taking holidays to go to this then fine, but it's not right for emergency services staff to pull a sickie to attend.

They were all off duty.
