From the 50,000-watt beacon of accurate thought, adequate logic and plausible deniability, Air America Cowboys from Farmers Branch, welding capital of North Texas.
:starspin​

Friends, jesters and the know-it-all rabble, in all the hoopla and huzzahs over our QB, RBs, receivers and Jerra jones, the man who will have the biggest impact defensively will be Mat McBriar, punter extraordinaire with a 48-yard average last year.

This guy is guaranteed to keep the offenses on their heels from within the 30. Bright, tough and big, he consistently booms them out of the end zone.

Rah-hoo! This boy will keep our defenses ripping them up deep in their territory. Best paid footman in tbe NFL and worth every penny.

For you who think Ware or Newman or whoever can have more of a defensive impact, just remember that McBriar will give the opposing teams the most negative yardage this year.

:D

You know there are gay people on this board right? Not me, but certainly a good number since we are talking about a board with 7500 members.

It isn't cool to use "gay" to describe something that is lame. Just say the thread is lame and leave it at that. There is no reason to link a crap thread with someone's lifestyle.

Superpunk is gay, I think.

Don't be such a ***. ;)

Seriously, though....you're going overboard.

It is something that will be offensive to many people.

As I noted, I expect that there are likely a good number of gay folks on this board. Would you appreciate if something about you -- e.g., your race, your family background, your religion -- were used as a joke?

It is important to respect people. All people.

It's also important to have a sense of humor, and realize that there is NO humor, save at someone else's expense. There's respect, and then there's going overboard regarding sensitivity. Saying that something is "********" is also a common expression. It may be offensive to ******** people, or people with close relations to people who are ********. That doesn't mean it should be stricken from everyone's dialogue.

Anything can be offensive if you look hard enough. Sometimes you need to just let things slide and not be such a "woman" about them. (see what I did, there?) :D

Being PC is gay. ;)

You know, using a term in humor in a generalized fashion is one thing, but using it in a directed manor (specifically attacking someone) is a different thing. Obviously there are *some things* that shouldn't be used at all. If someone took offense to what I said, then they should get a grip and realize they are way to sensitive and take things way to seriously.

Lighten up , Francis.................it's not an issue until someone makes it one. I'm sure folks are more than capable of picking and choosing their own battles. BTW, O defender of the common folk, how do you know they'll even read this?

Why are *some things* ok to make fun of and others not?

You do realize that what you choose to make fun may be exactly what others do not think it is ok to make fun of.

There is a huge difference between a joke about someone loving kickers and hating fullbacks and a joke about someone's sexual orientation.
