Then shanster, please refrain from posting directly to me anymore. Obviously we don't see things in the same light, so why bother? You seem much too technical, and I think you *assume* too much. The halls of higher learning, books, the library, apprenticeships, *that* was the structured learning I eluded to. Life itself is a learning experience, that goes without saying, so you didn't need to. lol

lol

You can dish it, but you can't take it. Don't tell me who I can and can't post to. That's hypocritical. Do you communicate any other way besides this bulldog keyboard commando method? Verbally jousting with you is lame. You only know one move. With that said, I'm done. I'm sure you will get your last word in though. That's expected.

And you are who??? This is the first time I recall ever posting to you. You *teach* in a classroom, or some other structured environment, so I would hope you are using the term "loosely"... lol And if you think a Big Brother chatroom is the place to learn about the origins of a word, especially *that* word, then that says volumes about you. But I, just like YOU had an opinion (well several) and stated them. I will post what I want, when I want, and how I want, and will not ask nor need your permission to do so.

You really think teaching only takes place in a structured environment? Are you serious? I am a lifelong learner. Everyone is. You are too, but you have a very narrow perspective. In my previous post, I was simply replying to your "no learning here" comment by telling you, then no teaching here either. Also, you are very generous with your name calling. I just didn't want any part of that. Sorry to everyone for posting this way down the thread.

When K and the gang were laughing about the K-mart thing, Howie was saying something funny about being put on the block because of what you say. He said something like "Don't you say my dog is ugly..." I could quite catch it, but they all thought it was hilarious. Does anyone know what that was about?

I know I am repeating myself but you continue to use these arguments that I don't see as valid.

No Baby Boo, there are people here that think it is no big deal to spread racism around and try to hide behind Free Speech. The *N* word is just another word, don't give it power some people say, while others resent it because they know their great great grandfather probably heard that word as his *last* word while being strung up a tree. But hey...it's no big deal. I half expect there to be jokes soon about the Jews and the holocaust, the *master race*, Aryans, aren't they better than any other race? I mean it's Free Speech so it's protected right? But for all the people that think otherwise, there would be NO internet feed if there wasn't a TV show called Big Brother, which IS governed by the FCC. Please explain that fact to Sara. Many people prefer not to hear the *N*word, please explain that to the idiot that calls himself shockalot, and also remind him this IS a chatroom, not the best place to start his research about the origins of a word. And tell the moron, if this was a test, he would have flunked, because he was wrong.

Maybe you should drop the discussion on this subject. If this is not a place for Shockolot to learn, then it is also not a place for chyron1 to teach. Please note that I am using the word "teach" loosely here. And, if possible, please refrain from calling me names.
