E-rock Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Wow, the summer is only 8 days young and I've already learned so much from our adjunct professor Griffin. 1. It is gross and inhumane to draw cartoons of babies dying. It is even worse to laugh at those cartoons. 2. In the old days we weren't so vulgar, shame on you. Our behavior on cc.com, our language, our morals, and our bad taste in film are so offensive to the Professer that well.... why the hell is he still here trying to educate our inferior, impenetrable, bigoted minds anyway? 3. Joking about people's heroes by calling them Nazis is insensitive to those who died during the holocaust. Nazis were bad in case you didn't know. Think Darth Vader... but meaner. 4. The phrase "in fact" has a specific meaning that you must adhere to. You can not use "in fact" to introduce a false statement that can be refuted merely by stating that the statement is false.

The phrase "in fact" has a specific meaning that you must adhere to. You can not use "in fact" to introduce a false statement that can be refuted merely by stating that the statement is false. A fine summary. With amendment: 1) true dat! Well stated. I agree with you wholeheartedly. 2) Believe it or not, some things ARE offensive to others. I provide some perspectives that aren't usually found around here. Am I persuading anyone? A few from time to time. I've been thanked on several occasions for the presentation of my "radical" views on bolting etc. while others find my views obnoxious. And yes, there is a certain heavy degree of uncivil discourse around here hitherto unknown to myself and no doubt shocking to some others as well. I've also provided a lot of entertainment: funny stories and pictures, and a punching bag for the bullies. What a country! 3)It is insensitive. (By the way, neither Bush nor Rush Limbaugh are my "heroes", nor would I call them Nazis). Meaner than Darth Vader? Yes. Darth Vader is a "cartoon". So are the clowns on "Hogan's Heroes" and "Seinfeld". The Third Reich's Nazi's systematically and purposefully slaughtered millions including no doubt relatives of people on this site. I have some friends that still have the tattoo's on their forearms. Calling someone a Nazi, or a babyf*%ker, is serious stuff and both in poor taste and potentially slanderous. Yet those sort of terms are offered quite readily and perhaps thoughtlessly. Go ahead, ask your local rabbi. 4)"In fact" does not work well with subjective comments, e.g. "George Bush/J. Kerry/Dwayner/whoever..is an a-hole" is an opinion, not a fact. I'm glad I've been helpful in your education and values clarification. Now go to the library and do your homework, or sit in a corner and meditate. Professor Merv. cascades-college.com "What a country!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
