Yes, that was Sammy. But I couldn't find a YouScrewed clip of Wilson doing it. Evidently those have been relegated to the "video gulags".

And bring mass quantities of Duncan Donuts Coffee. Medium paper cup, french vanilla, double cream & sugar, with the snaplid opened.
You never know when you might meet a being who appreciates a gift.
Coffee is a six letter word - say NO to editing - we can't have ANY confusion on this one.

Is it possible to allow the first letter and splat the rest, 'n*****'?
Yes.
What variations of '******' were also added to the bad-word list (if you can be allowed to post them)?
I actually can't list them because the board would start them out. (That's funny right there. I can't tell you because I can't tell you.)
Feel free to go to the test forum and experiment.
This "word" should not be treated any differently than any of the others on the bad word list. They are completely starred out. Don't do anything that draws extra attention (good or bad) to the "word".
The decision was wisely made to make it go away. So make it go away, completely, just like the others.

I would like a little further explanation.....I posted the information that some churches have been active in bringing in a great many immigrants with our Govt. financing. Catholic Charities was mentioned as one organization, and a Lutheran one, also.
I do not believe that is considered bashing, and I think few of us would feel our Govt. should provide monetary assistance to any American organization bringing in many thousands of immigrants. I furthermore feel that news of this matter should be public knowledge.
However, does Administration consider sharing this information as bashing a religion? I don't consider it so, but if news like that can't be reported, it's getting close to how anything negative about Israel labels the person an anti-Semite, when that might not be the case, either.

Good ideas. I have some black friends that I would be embarrassed to refer here. There are some decent black people. Most have been under delusion but once they come out, they are solid. I have some white contacts that are just as lowlife as some of the african savages. Sure there are IQ, mentality, cultural and other differences in the various races, but we do need to be careful not to condemn all in the group for even a majority of evil ones.

You are correct; it's not. "The Catholic church is evil, and members are stupid or evil too" would be bashing, for example.

If you think I'm Hitler, you need to leave TB for good.
The only true gay bashing I have seen involves cases such as the wedding cake situation and cases that have made the news..
I firmly believe if he joined no anger would be directed at him..
You know that we have an entire group of PREP rooms?

That's true. We have several gay members, and I don't remember any vitriol being directed toward them.

Excellent decision Dennis. Kudos.

There's an entire sub-section devoted to preps: http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?138-On-Your-Own
Yes Dennis I know about the “prep room”. However if I were a visitor to TimeBomb looking for prep info I might not quickly see that this board would provide it. We only have seconds to convince a person to stay longer and get hooked on this place like the rest of us.
Um, not sure where you got the number for last year, but we actually had quite a few more than that. Some never post at all after being registered, which I find really strange.

Is the use of term "Negro" acceptable?

A big link to the prep rooms is on the very first page:
Don't know how that can be missed.

I have another question. With Mayor Pete, who is gay, so much in the news.....is it no longer possible to condemn the practice of being homosexual? I have seen a lot of comments about him and his husband.
I recently posted what I considered an excellent article written by Devvy Kidd, whom I consider an excellent columnist with News and Views, and she really told about the dangers of being a homosexual....and some of the things that go on, in "their world'. (Absolutely disgusting.)
How would the public be aware of some of these practices, if no one could mention them? Also, how would an unsuspecting public know about a candidate's history, if there was a news blackout? (Of course, in Pete's case, he almost brags about what he is and "blames God" for what he is.)

Hey I like the word niggardly, it is so misunderstood.
Thanks Dennis, well done.
Unfortunately I don't have any real life friends (except the ones I've met here) that would appreciate TB2K.

Condemning homosexuality is not forbidden. I know that people have strong beliefs in this regard. But there's a difference between that and just "bashing" (i.e. "fags should be killed", blah blah blah.)
Please do "word testing" in the test forum.
Thanks

Since it got through the filter "unasterisk'ed" I would assume yes.
Just like Caucasian. Just like Mongoloid. (NOT Down's syndrome) Just like Malayan. Just like "Australoid."
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(sociology)
The primary difference being Negro (or Negroid) is a technical term which has not yet had attached a "stigma."
Not to say in time any of these might be looked upon derisively and the board may have to fine tune their software.
The Negroid Race in America have changed their preferred designation at least once during this equine's lifetime. In the 1990s it was a generic "Person of Color." (Like White is not a color?) Now "Black." (The color got identified.)
Even Obama who is a mix of White and Black is considered Black. Sort of a self administered "one drop rule." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-drop_rule
Of course if a Caucasian applies the same thought to a Black, its considered Ray-sist.
Guilt much?
