@Blizz, Addition to statement
Also for the record Blizz, save your speech. I don't have a problem with open racism. I have a problem with condescension. There is a huge line between the two. Open Racism isn't so bad because I know where they stand. However, 'I'm not a racist-condescension' is more annoying because its not saying they're a racist, its trying to say "Can't you see how this comment could be kinda racist?"
Quote from: Kinda Racist, WcW@namk: I'm kinda jealous of women and black people. They get to say whatever they want, yet I have to watch my tongue to make sure I don't say "black," or else I'll get shot.
'What? He said that..'
'What do you mean he said that? Of course, I can't say black around black people and women without getting shot'
"Woah, calm down Rose.. And I guess he wants to say that we all have equal rights regardless of being black, gay, female, etc. We're all humans. We al have human rights."
That's not the fucking point, Blizz. Okay let me give you a situation to compare this with.
Let's say you're an orphan. You were born an orphan you cant help it. A douchebag comes and says something douchebag because he wasn't born an orphan.
This orphan hears someone who says something like "I know how you feel, even though I was born with a family I'm sure it sucks".
the orphan replies "Yeah.. I don't get eat often, I find myself starving and crying myself to sleep because people always accuse me of being a good for nothing thief"
The douchebag replies "It's not
that bad. I live near an orphanage and the worst people do is eat sandwiches"
the orphan replies "Believe me or not.. why would I lie?"
The douche replies "I'm not calling you a liar, I'm just saying it may be an exaggeration" (which is calling you a liar) "I'm kinda jealous of Orphans, all orphans do is pickpockets and steal because they don't have a family. I have to watch my tongue around orphans or I'll be stabbed because they're all angry scum looking for a fight."
the orphan upset, has to some way defend his honor so he shoves -facts- in his face "Of course people wouldn't look down on orphans because they're all seen as bastard children. Anti-Abortionists force women that aren't ready for children to have us and then don't give a flying fuck if we are abandoned by our families. People are not aware of how terrible it is not having a family and think its all coconuts and peaches."
"Woah, Orphan kid, calm down. We're all gods children... I think what he was saying was that people cant say orphans steal without being stabbed by an orphan. We all have rights." (*face palm* What the hell does that have to do with anything)

in other words you went on a freaking rampage because he said you might have exaggerated a little?
that's called a hair trigger.
f*ck you, thanks for attacking me for doing nothing, have a nice day.
the act of exaggerating or overstating.
to magnify beyond the limits of truth
Beyond the limits of truth = a lie.
false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive
a deliberate exaggeration of speech or writing used for effect
Holy shit.. Lie and hyperbole are almost synonymous. Both are or can be false statements deliberately used to decieve.. the only difference between a hyperbole and a lie is..
Truth "I went to the store and bumped into a man."
Lie "I went to the store and bumped into a man, The shock forced me into cardiac arrest. I died. "
hyperbole "On my way to the store I bumped into a man. The impact from the shock resonated through my body."
Hyperbole and Lie are both lies.. however lie is more excessive.
I didn't attack you for doing nothing, I attacked you for quoting WcW out of context ignoring the fact that he told me that I had exaggerated. Which is the same as calling me a liar.. if its not I dare you to prove otherwise.
