That isn't ironic at all.

So you deliberately marginalize your own opinions? How interesting.

people still read wookie06 posts?

Truth be told I was just mocking the Massassi Irony Police. I did find it interesting that calling someone a democrat can now be considered a pejorative. I think that is a step in the right direction.

But the Irony Police are right; 90% of the time that someone describes something as ironic, it isn't ironic. For some reason people* just don't seem to understand what irony is.

*North Americans [Lolol British Stereotypes]

Truth be told, I don't think you actually know what 'irony' means and now you're backpedaling.

The proper definition of irony is "any situation in which an individual would like to prove how smart he is by belittling another individual through the nitpicking of that individual's understanding of irony. Primarily used in a debate at the point at which a person's pompousness and obvious contempt for the other individual converge in a 'perfect storm' of irrelevance."

I read it on internet.

Does his misspelling of his own name count?

I'm glad to have your support. Wookie06 is, after all, one of the last people on the forum who should be questioning whether or not someone correctly used the word 'ironic.'

Arguing on the internet: Once you figure it out, you start to loose interest.

See what happens when you replace the words democrat and liberal with a generalized insult in Wookie06's posts?

Like I said in the chat, I've already tried it with Wookie06. He didn't see anything wrong with it.

I'm looking forward to hearing about the fantastic grades he pulls off in SOC 101.

Yeah because, like, there is absolutely no tendancy for people here to chime in with several posts proclaiming something not to be ironic. It's fine with me if you think I meant what you thought. Believe it or not I respected you a tad more until you resorted to an Emon backpedal comment.



If the fact that I spell it that way on purpose makes it so. Also, [secret] my name isn't really "Wookie06".

Yes, yes, you are the Jonathan Swift of our time.

Well duh, and why spell it that way if it's wrong?

[hint] It's not wrong. I mean do you run around telling black people they spell their name wrong?

What the ****.

I have to agree with wookie. A name can be spelled in an unexpected way and still be spelled right.

However, it's pretty clear that wookie is racist. Fortunately he is the redeemable sort, as he seems unaware of it.

I love this place because there are no loyalties.

You'd have to secretly be a cultural diversity professor to get racism out of his last comment.

Do you mean, I'd have to be to see it as racist?

It seems pretty clear to me. He believes black people spell their names wrong.

I've posted this before in basically every thread ever, but every human who is alive and older than 3 years old is racist, as well as many dogs and a few robots. We are all subject to our experiences, our perceptions and social pressures. What makes you not a Klansman is your ability to handle cultural differences, acknowledge them and react in a way society regards as acceptable.

Wookie06 has revealed his fear of and condemnation of people he perceives as different on a few occasions. What he doesn't realize is that nationalism and ethnocentrism are bedfellows.

Fox News reported what they reported. It requires no additional comment.

But if you get that out of that question then you would have to believe that I believe that I spell my username wrong which I state in the same post isn't.

Pertaining to everyone being racist I'm not sure that having certain preferances qualifies as racism. I mean, I'd sleep with a latin chick or an asian chick, or if I get really lucky marry one that's both (oh, I did do that), but maybe not a black chick. Really it has less to do with the skin color and more to do with how long and how many chemicals it takes them in the bathroom to get their hair straight.



Lie.



Strange since I am nationalistic of my ethnically diverse nation.

All viewpoints are foreign except your own, Wookie06.

The majority of Americans are white protestants.
Christian holidays, symbolism and phrases are popularly considered generic and applied to all people.
American economic participation is a semi-evolved Anglo-Saxon serfdom.
Substances with strong historical ties to Europe are allowed (alcohol, tobacco, caffeine) while other substances with strong historical or religious ties to other parts of the world are forbidden (mescaline, marijuana, opium.)
Moral absolutism ⇒ ethnocentrism ⇒ tyranny of the majority.

The United States is praised for many things, but ethnic diversity is not one of them. The only strange thing here is that you hold such a shallow opinion of what "ethnicity" means.

There was a bit in my local paper where a mother was upset that nobody could pronounce her daughter's name when read. Spelled "Le-a", spoken "Ledasha". Her reply was in poor English and she lived in Louisiana

It's too bad Jon`C is right. I really wish the U.S. was more diverse and should be the "melting pot" nation. </random two cents>

Frequent mistypes lead to people pronouncing it as Leunderscorea.

I understand what you're saying here, but "melting pot" is not really an appropriate term anymore. "Melting pot" is an analogy for homogeneity, but it's mostly been co-opted to mean assimilation rather than multiculturalism.

Point made, my fault. Glad you got what I meant though.

Salad bowl!

Or maybe some kind of stew.

Oh man, it could be a gratin. Then we could talk about how important it is for everything to 'hold together.'

bain marie!

Or maybe a neutron, made up of constituent quarks, with inevitable decay over time.

In regards to the ethnic diversity of the United States...I welcome diversity, and I'll be the first one to stick up for different cultures...but I can't get around the fact that I believe in what some people describe as "America for Americans" (with whatever implications they assign to that). By that I mean that I do believe that the united states was founded on certain ideals, and those who wish to live here should share those ideals or pick somewhere else to go, not come in and try to CHANGE those ideals. It's a tough subject, with lots of grey areas, and plenty of problems. The fact is that many cultures, whether they be foreign in origin or domestic outgrowths, do not share the ideals on which the country was founded, whether they intend to or not, and whether they even realize it or not. And I disagree that we should change to accommodate those views which are at odds with those founding principles. Now, of course, those founding principles and few and fairly specific, so it's not tough to accept other cultures within those restrictions...but there ARE a few sticking points, I'm sure.

Multi-culturalism tends to divide people. I think it is better to add ones ethnic and cultural distinctiveness to our own.

I like my species the way it is!

(Also, you may spell your name correctly, but you spell Wookiee wrong. Also: hell yes, having sexual preferences tied to racial phenotypes is ONE OF THE ROOTS of racism.)

Exucse me? Wehn I am rerrefing to a fictutoiis rcae that eixsts in the Star Wars unevirse I spell it w-o-o-k-i-e-e so I defy your statement that I spell wookiee wrong.

Do you think that by making your post slightly more annoying to read, you've made a point about language that I don't already understand?
