Things you can't say in public.

[Helm]

"I hate black people."

[auhsor]

Me and my friend were in the computer labs at uni working on some asignment or something which involved using unix commands in the uni network thing. Well I was using the command 'finger' to see the login times of other people in the network, so I said to my friend: "I'm gonna finger you...". And yeah that was pretty bad as I wasn't even thinking.

[esper]

Hey, Helm, come on. don't be racist. Be more like me. I'm not racist. I hate everybody equally.

[Helm]

lol you're so funny. Someone on the internet? Claiming he's a misanthrope? Seriously? So fresh! OMG EQUAL APPORTUNITY IN HATRED. Rock on.

[Paper Carnival]

A quote from a guy I know: "I'm not a racist... Infact, I've always said that blacks are man's best friend" (sounds more racist in my language). But personally, I'm no racist.

Anyway... Patrick, a friend of mine, changed a picture of me by making it reddish and adding two spikes to my hair. Another friend of mine saw the picture and she said "wow, Patrick makes you hot"

[Helm]

Are you sure you're not racist? I'm not clear on that.

[esper]

Wow... that was cockmastery at it's finest. You wonder why I AM a misanthrope...

Seriously, it was just a joke. I am not some ratty pimply-faced 400 pound teenager who dresses all in black and thinks I'm a witch because no one is ever nice to me and writes lousy poetry about it. What I hate is the fact that people make this world so crappy because they consistently forget they are not the only ones in it, and especially those people who belittle others to make themselves look good. People do suck. You seem to be one. That's too bad.

[Sam.]

(obviously that is NOT how i introduce him)

Of course it isn't, you say "This is my life partner."

I think I just had an anuerism laughing. Of course, I'm not a doctor so I can't be certain.

[Nikolas]

Calm down people!

The world is a fucking place (there we go again...) but the ones that can make it better, at least for ourselves and the ones we love is WE! Anyway I'm not claiming that we can change the world, but for the tiny part of it that we inhabite along with our faminly and everynody else we know, I think we can make a difference. But everybody (Helm, and Esper) are more than welcome to hate everybody and eachother...

Love is in the air...

[esper]

This thread's gone way off topic. The world does suck much butt, and all the people who go around moping "the world sucks butt" also suck butt because they are resolved to let it be that way. That's the end of the story. I do hate people... I hope I never become one. We don't have to be people. we can be individuals, and by that I don't mean the type of individuals who think they are individuals because they dress and act like five million other people who say they are just being themselves... Helm, I'm sorry. You might hate black people and misanthropists (that's totally a joke, so if you even say anything...) but there are a very few (misanthropes... that is... AND blacks... that is also a joke...) who might actually be on to something... What the world needs now ISN't love, sweet love... That's gay (hmmm... gay....we've been talking about that....) It needs people who hate humanity enough to stand up and not be like humans. Then (getting back on topic), we can actually go around and say "Hey! That's gay!" and "Dude, grab my balls and let's go!" and the almighty "This is a tasty weiner!" without a bunch of asshattery taking place as a result.

[attempt to veer this back into peaceful ground] Zotty - you'da known if you had one. [/ditto]

(...no? Well, I tried)

EDIT - Sorry, I meant Zooty. DOn't kill me, please.

[Babar]

Not peaceful at all. You called the fellow Zotty. I think people are missing a very important piece of information. It's all together very possible  : that Helm was joking.

By some quirk of my own language, I have to be very careful when I say "14", because it is very close in sound to the word for "to fuck". It has caused some weird moments.

[Pumaman]

It's all together very possible : that Helm was joking.

The title of the thread is "Things you can't say in public" -- it's pretty obvious that Helm was providing an example of just that.

[Nacho]

I've personally meet Helm, and his billion light years away from sucking. And I think all the AGSer who know him will say the same. The problem is that his humour can be annoying because of the "aggressivity" if transcribed to a paper or to a screen without hearing his tone of voice (his favourite sentence in Mittens 2003 was... "Oh...Ã,  ???fuck you!Ã,  "

He recently wrote something like "Lorena (my girlfriend) leave Farlander and come to Greece to became mi slave" or something like that. I am sure this might annoyed Lore if she haven't met him and, therefore, without being able to image Helm's tone of voice and context. But she had, and we had some minutes of laugh with that.

That is Helm.

P.S: Hope it makes sense, I was in a wedding yesterday and I went to bed at 5 o'clock... Now I am back after 97 kms. bicycle race... I feel weird...

[Helm]

Dude fuck you I'm serious here.

[esper]

I'm not sure what's going on anymore. I am far from hating everybody, I only said it because Helm had said the whole "I hate black people" thing, which understandably had to do with the topic and not his actual feelings (and if it is his actual feelings, who really cares? Everyone is entitled to their opinion, just don't blame me when the Black Panthers drag you around town on a chain hooked up to a crappy 1976 Ford truck). In response, I was mocked incessantly, which I don't really care about except that it aggravates me that people try to use others by belittling them to make themselves look good. If that line was a joke, I'm sorry I got offended, but you must admit it is rather, as Farlander put it in his defense of Helm, "aggressive." Aggressive is not good, especially in a community. Now, I don't know the guy, and I'm sure if I met him we would both totally be unlike each other's ascience (non-knowledge... I think I made that word up just now, which is why it warranted the definition, but it very well may be real) of each other and get along quite well. If I ever go to a Mittens, remind me not to say that I'm Esper    Anyway, regardless of all that, I really could care less. We've wound up dragging what was previously quite a fun thread all to hell and back with this semiinfantile asininity. Let's give it a rest.

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

By some quirk of my own language, I have to be very careful when I say "14", because it is very close in sound to the word for "to fuck". It has caused some weird moments.

I can sympathize. In Portuguese, "xixi" is the children's words for urine, similar to "pee", but there's a word in chinese (I think it's thankyou) that's pronounced in exactly the same way.

That's a minor aggrievance, though. Now that I've found out what "rui" (or the phonetic equivalent thereof) means in Russian, I always hesitate before introducing myself to anyone whom I even suspect of understanding that language...

[esper]

Hey, speaking of Portuguese... Doesn't it mean something mildly inappropriate if you spell "APPLE" in English?

[Helm]

esper, calm down. I only made fun of you because it was extremely clear ( at least in Helm-land where everything in quotation marks can pretty safely be assumed to be under the effects of stuff in quotation marks!) that I was joking. I don't hate black people. In fact I think they're pretty cool! But I do hate furless cats. That shit freaks me out.

Furthermore, I guess it was uncalled for but I just can't pass up the apportunity to make fun of the 'NNGH I HATE EVERYBODY' mentality. Not that it's not an equally-valid ethical point of view that's just as valid as more humanist ones, just very easy to make fun of. Why am I making fun of stuff on the ags forums? Probably a good question, and the only reason I'm not dragging this out anymore.

But I AM going to make fun of your nickname if you ever come to Mittens, so better come up with some witty comebacks like 'you're one to talk... HELM!'

[Nacho]

He is "aggressive" (while I find a better definition), but for me, and I think that for many others, it was very obvious that he was being like that intentionally, and joking. (and that was before meeting him).

So people... relax before feeling mocked. Here there are no mockers. Missunderstoods here are common, and I've been in some bitter discussions because of that, with people that now I consider friends (Jet, for instance) Those moments before solluting the missunderstood are not funny, and we have mittens, so, it's very likely that'll finally have to suffer those moments. So, try to avoid them.
