Also most of these wishes aren’t for “presents” or “Gifts”. Getting a girlfriend isn’t getting a gift, is finding a treasure and it’s something you have to do for yourself women aren’t objects to be given or taken.

I think you’re taking things too literally.

I think if you really want a wife you should get out and find one

easier said than done.

Well yeah but they won’t just come to you out of nowhere.

yes I know.

He’s not wrong.

You’re taking it too literally as well. I know women are not objects.

They’re spending One Million dollars on this ad campaign. Maybe they could have donated to a charity or something? And here I was feeling guilty for buying myself a Christmas present!
I’m sure the little girl was coached. Say the line, and we’ll give you a puppy! 😛

Wow, I didn’t know that until Trump took over, we couldn’t say Merry Christmas. hmm.

The Place to Go for Emotional Support

I broke up with my girlfriend a few days ago. It honestly wasn’t because of the stalker ex boyfriend, although I’m not gonna miss that. It just wasn’t working out. I do feel sorry that she has to deal with it on her own now, but perhaps she shouldn’t have taken me for granted and appreciated all that I have done to help her. I don’t have anything negative to say about her as a person, but I was just wasting my time. She was my top priority and I was the last thing on her mind most of the time. She would tell me sweet things of how much she loved me, but she only had time for everybody else but me. Time to move on with my life.

"Let the past die, kill it if you have to. "

Sorry to hear that, Possessed. Difficult time of year for a break up. 😦

Jay kind of did say yes…
But the person who used that word, I believe, is still active and roaming the forums. If you agree that it is a word that people should be disciplined for using, why haven’t you disciplined that person?

That was done in PMs as far as I can tell. The guy apologized publicly. I don’t see any reason to ban him.

Then I guess the r-word is not a slur under the rules Jay posted. Because the rules clearly state using a slur results in an immediate perm ban.

You’re welcome to report specific posts that you think are against the rules to oojason and SilverWook via PM since they’ve seen TLJ.

Well if they have seen the movie, then what the heck is this about:

SilverWook said:

Jay has said more bans are likely as he reviews the thread. And he hasn’t even seen the movie yet so he’s spoiling himself in the process.

If mods have seen the film, they can review the thread.

I’ve avoided all but one major spoiler up to this point and would like to remain relatively spoiler-free until I have time to see the movie. Those of you who think it’s a “problem” that I haven’t seen the movie yet are welcome to volunteer as my personal assistant so you can manage my calendar and explain to my family and employer why they come in third place to a movie released right before a major holiday.

This isn’t about putting your family in third place. No one wants you to do that. The point is, if your personal life is so busy, maybe you need to delegate more.

I think we should wait for Frink to return from his temp-ban before we continue to condemn anyone else or go on endless conjecture.

What’s the problem with “condemning anyone else?”

I don’t think that’s very fair to do if they are not here to defend themselves. I’m fairly certain everyone we’re talking about doesn’t visit this section of the forum.

That’s their problem. You can send them a PM and direct them here. It’s not like we registered on a different forum to talk about them behind their backs.

Jay said:

Breaking the following rules will result in an immediate and permanent ban with no prior warning:

  1. Personal attacks and slurs based on race/ethnicity/religion/gender/sexual orientation/etc. aren’t tolerated under any circumstances.

So Jay is the r-word a personal attack and slur, yes or no?

He just said yes.

I must have missed that.

I didn’t say it’s a problem that you specifically haven’t seen it. But I think it’s a problem that the most active thread right now goes relatively unmoderated out of fear to be the one that reveals a spoiler to the mods by reporting something.

Jay also has other mods that he can delegate issues to, so this complaining about having to go to into a spoiler thread is really moot since there are at least two other people that can handle the situation for him.

Jay was the one saying that he had to watch the movie first before others in that thread could be moderated. Apparently he doesn’t want to delegate these issues or the mods haven’t seen the film yet either.

I defended Jay about his not seeing the movie. But complaining about having to moderate the spoiler thread is a bit much, don’t ya think?

How much recourse does someone deserve who calls Kelly Marie Tran a “fat asian chick”?

using Asian as an insult really bothers me. My niece is Asian.

Are you joking? Asian is the only word of that phrase that wasn’t used as an insult.

Well it sounded like the whole phrase was being used as an insult.

but I really don’t think R should be weighted the same as N, given a certain context,

maybe not, given the unique history of the n-word. But the r-word should definitely be weighted. It is an offensive term. Perhaps not as offensive as the n-word, but it is offensive.

Yes, but does it fall under the blanket of “Breaking the following rules will result in an immediate and permanent ban with no prior warning: slurs […] aren’t tolerated under any circumstances.”?

Jay has to decide that. If it were me, it would. Of course I would make that more clear in the wording of the rules.
