I agree, my point is that it's only enforced one way

"muslims are vengful people"=warning

"Bush is a war crminal"=perfectly fine while still breaking the same rule

I think it equates to:

"Black people are complete idiots"=warning

"Kayne West is a complete idiot"=perfectly fine

Attacking one person because of their actions is different from generalizing the actions of the few with those of the whole.
 
It is not breaking the same rule. One labels an entire group with a negative and unprovable statement. The other, depending on your point of view, is a gross overstatement, a complete lie, or a provable (in the eyes of the World Court) statement. The key difference here is the statement about "Muslims" labels an entire group, while the statement about Bush attacks a single person.

I think it is reasonable and should be maintained that you should qualify the groups you are attempting to discuss, not doing so can have very harmful, if unintended, consequences.
 
different huh? I think the rule clearly states

Raical comments, slurs, sexists remarks and so forth will NOT be tolerated

Slur - Definitions from Dictionary.com

please reference definition 3

therefore refurring to President Bush as a war criminal is grounds for a warning

this is the part of the post where I make a comment about liberls bending relatiy to their liking...

You didn't intend to warn me ? Where are the warnings and people speaking out against those that send me death threats ? The ones that were waiting for me at N9 "With a baseball bat" and shit, (Who funny enough, left when I showed up)

Where are the warnings for people who make snide and nasty remarks about my bone deformities ?

Up your ass, that's where they are.

Nooch.
 
Yeah, and I have certainly seen these threats...

More importantly if you wanted the rules enforced, you have to report it if a mod doesn't see it. I don't read everything in the Lounge, I don't think any mod does. I just tag them when I see them.
 
Back on topic, If we pull out of Iraq, RADICAL muslims will overrun the area, oppress minorities, treat women inhumanely, and generally behave in a politically incorrect way that would make lsvtec give them a warning.

In the context of the rule, racial comments and sexist remarks both require a generalization be made about a group. It logically follows that the entire rule is referring to comments made about a group. No where in this rule is an individual mentioned. That is covered in the rule about insulting other members.
 
If he complained about it, or a mod thought it was necessary, then yes. That is how the rules read.
