But you can't censor words out of a discussion about the issue they present.

You can and I'm asking that you do so. Jesus.

Okay, done, because I don't want you to feel bad.

Under protest though. Word policing kills healthy debate.

Censoring conversations make it harder to get the point across.

Boomer is just as bad a word as N-WORD.

made me laugh. not for the reasons martinuzz wants to get across, I'm sure.

Ageism is okay if it's against preteens. Not against older people.

[martinuzz]

I agree with the 'no alcohol for minors' ageism

I'm gonna say that any kind of ageism is bad thing even if the little shits deserve it.

And banning them off social media.

Never met a single 12-or-under online who wasn't terrible. 13 and up is hit-and-miss and I judge them by their behavior.

See, dragdeler was complaining about old people

No. The problem is not that he's whining, the problem is that he's hatefully and unabashedly saying he wants people to die. And it's not the first time either.

Boomer is just as bad a word as N-WORD.

No, it is not. Slurs have different strength and are not all the same. There's a reason that there's a whole bunch slurwords for black people that nobody will mind if you write out but that the one word is so taboo it has to be initialized. And boomer, while definitely useable as a slur, is nowhere near that.

[dragdeler]

I can't stand them, send another boomer tell them off and they'll at least walk away if still protesting. Send a young person or even just somebody looking young and they reach for insolence in the blink of an eye. Not my fault there is so many among them acting so mindnumbingly predicabtly. And it's not that hard to not robotically be such a boomer. It's not an imutable trait, though I'd make me happy if someone felt the need to argue that, because that's the kind of insult >I< can amuse myself with.

The FSB, the FBI and the CIA have a contest to see which secret service is best. The objective is to catch a rabbit in a forest as quickly as possible.

First the FBI tries. After six weeks of investigation they bring out a report that the rabbit doesn't exist.

Next the CIA tries. They burn down the entire forest and justify it with an official statement that the rabbit was a terrorist.

The FSB gets to try with a new rabbit in a new forest. After two weeks one of their agents walks out of the forest with a bear on a leash, that says: all right, I admit it! I am the rabbit!

[Frumple]

... so which one won the contest?

[EuchreJack]

Who's the FSB?

[Frumple]

KGB successor, russian secret service bunch, according to google. Sorta' fits with the theme, so it's probably them.
