Interesting perspective... I'm not pushing anything on anyone, but by way of example, if you were married to a black woman and the "N"-word was thrown around casually and constantly, you might begin to feel just a tad offended by it. I think I've stated things as courteously as I could. I guess I should just "get my panties out of my butt," though. I'll get right on that.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/05/01 11:28 By Frank_W.   My Music Whatever...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #191116 HoustonCH73 (User) she's gone............

I understand your example of a black wife but is "Jap" a derogatory name like the N-word? I've never heard of a "Brit" (Brittish) being offended for being called a Brit or a Canadian being called a Cannuck. It could very well be my small town, backwoods upbringing in that I don't see it as derogatory. When I was growing up, the term "Jew someone down" and "thank you, that's mighty white of you" wasn't seen as bad either. I can see it now tho. Do the Japanese really get offended by the term?   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/05/01 12:00 By HoustonCH73.   If you are going to do something, do it well, and leave something witchy....   The administrator has disabled public write access. #191118 RoadieFF (Moderator) Moderator Posts: 2594 Re:HD 3 Years ago   HoustonCH73 wrote: Do the Japanese really get offended by the term?

Gold Boarder Posts: 967 Re:HD 3 Years ago   Well I'll be.....learn something new everyday. I guess I'll add that to my list of obscenities not to say in public. Seems like someone in the world is always getting offended by something. Just today, my employer instructed everyone to refer to the "SwineFlu" as "Influenza A H1N1" since apparently we had some Jewish & Muslim employees being offended by the term "SwineFlu". I believe that words are just words. I can get up in arms over improper actions (physical attacks, removal of rights and liberties) but words just don't bother me. Call my mom, myself, my wife, even my kids a name and I'll tell you "whatever man, its just words".   Logged     If you are going to do something, do it well, and leave something witchy....   The administrator has disabled public write access. #191120 Frank_W (User) Riding The Filthy Sow! Platinum Boarder Posts: 3510 Re:HD 3 Years ago   No problem... Honestly. I'm not all nervous about it or even offended, and I realize that "Jap Bike" is part of the motorcycle culture. I'm not trying to make a big deal out of it. Just thought I'd mention it. That's all.   Logged     My Music Whatever...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #191181 bikerbob2 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 309 Re:HD 3 Years ago   hum musta missed something this thread took a wrong turn in Scenectady   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #191198 MidStar07 (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 560 Re:HD 3 Years ago   Back to the HD talk, here's a guy who apparently likes riding his Harley MD   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #191201 Tealw1 (User) If ya can't wear it, it ain't worth eatin Expert Boarder Posts: 599 Re:HD 3 Years ago   He was a Wisconsin State Senator from 1993 to 2007, and a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly from 1989 to 2003.

Moderator Posts: 6997 Re:HD 3 Years ago   9 pages....really? Moderators have been very nice inside this thread(not delete/locking it). Name calling and brand bashing throughout. Some of you sound as bad as the guys you complain about. If you can't add constructive information to a thread , just don't say anything at all. Is that too hard? If you feel the need to respond to this post , and it's gonna be a smart comment , go ride first and think about it. Thank you, BB   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
