Thoughts on the Stratocaster

Post by **Mike** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 2:43 pm

I love a maple neck on a Strat with a big 70s stock like that.

One day I'd love to own a nice 70s Strat but I don't see it happening. They are delightful though.

my gripes about strats would only really consist of
a.) the placement of the volume knob (totally reminds me of a straight asshole)
b.) they look boring

you realize all of the comments after shifty's were there to poke fun at him for saying something so incredibly stupid.

also, it's not offset.

I wonder why it is that it's never the supposed "victims" of language like that who take offense to it, always some self-righteous dickbags(sorry for using that word, any dickbags out there). And they only take up a crusade against a certain word.

Wouldn't it be more helpful to people to ignore the words when not being used in a hateful context? By acknowledging language like that you're only giving it power. People are all of the human race, and in many shades of sexuality, so I don't really give a shit.

And who are the victims of homophobia? Forgetting about crusades or improving society, and just being selfish for a second, I find homophobia personally insulting because it assumes that I have more in common with the pig-ignorant fuck who uses terms like "fag" than I do with all the right minded people I know who are gay.

based on his above reasoning, I doubt any further exchange is really worth it.

It may be pointing out here that xShifty poster has recently been banned from Offset for trolling, then turns up here trolling. Just saying...

xShifty · Post by **xShifty** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 7:32 pm

Trolling is not my intent. I was contributing to the thread when I was attacked, and I apologized for any offense to gays(though it seems the only person who was upset is benecol). I was just wondering why you, benecol, take such offense to my entirely non-homophobic use of the word faggot. I even edited my post. What the fuck else do you want? Take it to PMs if you have a personal problem with me and want to stop spamming the boards with this shite.

You're fighting with the wrong person here, I have no problem with gays and I even support the boycott of Danelectro in light of their contributions. I just also take no moral offense to the liberal use of curse words of any type, as I take no offense to homosexuality or drug use or other basic goddamn rights(speech/privacy). It's only a problem when it's used as hate speech and I would take offense to that, like if someone came up to a gay friend of mine and started calling him a faggot.

shifty boy don't push your luck, you're being a tw@t now.

xShifty · Post by **xShifty** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 7:43 pm

Oh, so you can call me a twat but I can't use the word faggot? Who decides which is worse? Haven't women been getting worse shit for way longer than gays?

When he calls you a twat, he means to offed you, not a group of people that aren't responsible for the twattish things you say.
When you use the word faggot to describe something stupid and useless, you're implying that you think "faggots" are stupid and useless which is definitely a homophobic sentiment.

It's a goddamn lynch mob in here, huh? You just spoke of his intent, why not consider my intent when I used the word?

benecol · Post by **benecol** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 7:51 pm

He's a troll. Ignore him.

Nope.

You're the only goddamn troll, you've already exploded two threads into homophobe lynchings

Bacchus · Post by **Bacchus** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 7:54 pm

Shortscale.org: Lynching homophobes and damn proud of it too.

It's not a lynch mob, it's a group telling you what we will not accept in our house. So shape up or ship out.

endsjustifymeans · Post by **endsjustifymeans** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 7:56 pm

You use immature hate speech and we're the lynch mob?

You realize you may as well have said, ni**ery knobs and it would have been exactly as offensive to the lot of us? I'm not trying to gang up on you or anything... I'd just like you to understand why what you said was blatantly idiotic and prejudiced. Though I'm guessing you won't.

Yup, sounds like a party to me.
