		<description>#58 Yep, that's me. And why I stopped cross-posting at Marmot's. If I can't give away free Tarantino tix without catching hell, why bother? Anyway, I just try to keep it to the occasional comment here. Posting's not worth the headache.</description>

		<description>Korea would send a Canadian Engrish teacher into space, but he'd probably get busted for trying to smuggle weed into the international space station.</description>

		<description>Some people here don't like Metro; that's been well established in previous posts.  But keep your racist crap and subsequent excuses to your despicable selves.</description>

		<description>"I never use the N-word. It abhors me."

Haha. You "abhor me," too. Idiot. 

I "started it?" Because I used a single common slang word in a post about space flight? Then when I get this:

"Da Metro politickin be slangin yo! Les seez if ah can hangz.

Fo shizzle my nizzle, ah dun did had mah foty uf STFU. But you needz to BTFU, beefo you wrekz yo sef. Don’t make me take that jelly doh-nut awayz from you. Hollah!"

I'm playing the "race card." OK - sounds like my race was the main point of ridicule here. "Fo shizzle my nizzle" and I drink "forties"? 

Your rant:

"Let any group determine their own name and identity, just don’t get upset when someone outside of said group uses the exact same terminology. I’m not naming them, I’m using their own self-determined name. Got it? If black people had decided to use the word “telephone” to describe their own name and identity, does that mean I can’t use “telephone” because I might offend someone?

What up “telephone!” And then I get beat down because it’s exclusive to black people? Please."

Again, fuckhead – what does that have to do with any shit I said about space exploration, its relative worth vis-a-vis national agendas, the definition of space travel, etc.

And yeah, I said let the flaming begin, but I at least thought it would have to do with the topic at hand, and not some idiotic rant about what YOU think black people should call THEMSELVES, and whatever other opinions – very strong, chip-on-your-shoulder opinions – you seem to have about black people.

Which has nothing the fuck to do with me or anything I was talking about. 

"“I’m Mike Hurt, the God of Fashion and Racial Issues! How dare you poke fun at me, don’t you know I graduated from Berkley? I have a double doctorate in Black Supremacy and high heel rim jobs!”

Who the fuck has a complex? Was I talking about any of that shit? Did I declare myself the God of anything in any place other than your mind? Yeah, I have strong opinions on things, but I generally keep my shit to MY blogs – and anyone is a king in his or her SELF-defined domain. That's why it's a BLOG, fuckhead, and not the New York Times. That's why they call it MYspace and not YOURS. So you're mad I talk about whatever on my blogs? OK - so take it there – my house. 

But when I come outside, to someone else's house, I participate as just another member, and offer comments within the parameters of the conversation. I don't appeal to authority or credentials except when other idiots attack my authrotiy on the basis of my credentials, or try to lord their credentials over me. Which generally happens, again – on MY BLOG. 

So since I wasn't talking about ANY of that shit, and was keeping it to SPACE TRAVEL, which was the topic at hand, YOU fucked up by going into some modern-day step-n-fetchit routine, talking about me drinkin 40-ouncers and whatever offensive bullshit, then act all shocked when I get pissed and call you on your racist crap. If anyone has a "victim complex" it's you, because then you start going off on how black people are this, black people shouldn't be doing that, how white's these days can't do whatall because of crazy black folks – whatever. 

You were thinking categorically from the beginning, and you're too fucking stupid to quit while you're ahead, since you just continued your diatribe about blacks this, blacks that. Even as I and others were telling you that all that shit ain't got nothing to do with me. 

"Double dumb ass on you," dickwad. There - it's a Star Trek reference and space-related. There's your "witty comeback." You're still a fuckwad.</description>

		<description>takeshimaforever, 

Bite me.  I know the difference and I don't need you telling me.  I never  EVER said the N-word.

Let any group determine their own name and identity, just don't get upset when someone outside of said group uses the exact same terminology.  I'm not naming them, I'm using their own self-determined name.  Got it?  If black people had decided to use the word "telephone" to describe their own name and identity, does that mean I can't use "telephone" because I might offend someone?

What up "telephone!"  And then I get beat down because it's exclusive to black people?  Please.

I have an idea, how about all expatriates in Korea start using the word "Takeshima" to describe the shared bond of foreigners in Korea.  "What up Takeshima!"  "Peace out, Takeshima!"

If you don't like it, that's too bad for you.  They deserve the right to determine their own name and identity.  It's not up to you to name them.

Oh, yeah, Dwenchang Jiggae...in space...is da bomb!</description>
