  1. Not the kiddie pool!
    This was sooo funny omg. worth the wait easily....a 6! finally a good beat! YES BILL FILLMAFF IS THE GREATEST
    I had never heard of this site before and this thing is taking forever to load, but it sounds hilarious.
    I also waited anxiously for something I had never heard of before? I'm confused. :?
    He's talking about the "taking forever to load".
  2. J9 and J10 mostly, but definately j8 and j7Is it just me or do you notice people's obsession as well?Raise and a reraise and still they call
    Seriously though you can make alot of straights w/ those hands.
    Not like 10 5 tho....every str8 has a 10 or 5 in it. Definately +ev
    ahhh, but there is one straight that you cannot make with 10-5
    No there isn't, donk.
    5-9 straight. (sorry if you were being sarcastic. I suck at that.)
  3. No, this is not true. Just because a word has several meanings doesnt mean you can apply the transitive property here. Examples: I'm straight, so I always go straight down the road and never take a right or left turn, wrong.Calling someone a donkey, you're then also implying they are in fact another species, wrong.Words create different meanings overtime. Just because someone is using a word with joint meanings, one referring to a minority group, one referring to something extremely stupid, does NOT make them a bigot.
    It doesn't make them a bigot, but it does make them a jerk. In your two examples, straight and donkey, the other meanings of those words don't refer to any group of people. Eeyore doesn't count. Screw Eeyore.Think about how 'gay' got to mean 'lame.' It's in reference to that group of people. That's the difference.
    Think about how "lame" got to mean "uncool." Isn't that in reference to a group of people, too? As in people who have a lame leg? Gay is the new lame. Gay is the new retarded. It's only because of the amount of gay advocacy(sp) groups that is making this socially unacceptable. I grew up w/ gay being used as a derrogatory. I guess that makes me insensitive to the issue. Who gives a **** anyways? it's the ****ing intarweb. People say stupid stuff.
  4. Its very clear that homosexuals, and "gays" are accepted in our community. at least in Canada they are.Not sure how you feel sitting across from someone who is homosexual, but I dont feel threatened or uncomforatble at all.
    :doh: That explains it!I should've remembered you live in Canada. Sorry Royal. Canada and the US are two VERY different societies. In the US, there are a ton of parents that don't even want their children to know what a homosexual is.Canada's progressed so much more than the US has. You'd be amazed at how far behind we are.
    yeah, till they hit 5th grade p.e . mr .tate gets a hold of them and makes us touch him in his "special zone".....umm was that outloud?????
    Loland Sapphire's argument is flawed: everything is based on what everyone else (aka society) considers normal.And by the way, to say that using gay as a derrogatory(sp) is unacceptable is being hypocritical, as you often use retarded as a derrogatory(sp). When you think of retarded, you think of a mentally retarded person. By calling something bad retarded, isn't that linking retarded people to being somehow worse than other people? I guess that you can say retarded= stupid, so it's ok, but then the same could be said of gay.For example, people call FCP gay because 1. all the Royal/Ron/speedz/others threads (which I miss btw)and 2. everyone apparently sucks up to DN here => sucking pole => gay.So, really, I have no idea what I am talking about.
  5. Let me pose this then. If I were gay (which I sho nuff am not) would it be ok for me to use that term, just as it's ok for black folks to use the n word? Like I said, everyone is so afraid of hurting other peoples feelings, it's pussification of America, George Carlin has a great bit about it. :club:
    Well, not on Pokerstars. But, in real life it'd be fine. That double standard is just something that's accepted. There are many double standards in society, with this just being one tree in a forest.Gays also (unfortunately) call each other the f word (not that one, the other one...the gay one). Just like the n word, no straight person could ever use the f word and be justified in it. That's just the way it is.For the record, I'm not in favor of anyone (gay or straight) using the f word or using gay in that way.
    Come out of the closet already, jeeeeeeeeez.On a side note, Virginia Tech has a player with the last name Fagg. That's just too funny.
    There was another guy in the NFL (patriots i think?) named Gay. There was this whole thing about the NFL not letting people print certain words on their custom jerseys. ie not letting people print "ron Mexico" on the backs of jerseys...
  6. Words have more than one meaning and gay happens to be one of them.
    The n word has more than one meaning. It would've been okay for him to use that?
    The word "lame" has more than one meaning. Why would it be ok to have him use that word?
    When I say "lame," the first thing I think of isn't a guy that can't walk. When you say "gay," the first thing you think of isn't "stupid."Your argument is flawed. Do you see why?
    Yeah, I guess. Don't mean to keep arguing, but what about the word "retarded"? Is that ok? :? Who cares about stars chat anyways! everyone knows it's rigged!!! :club:
  7. Words have more than one meaning and gay happens to be one of them.
    The n word has more than one meaning. It would've been okay for him to use that?
    The word "lame" has more than one meaning. Why would it be ok to have him use that word?and yes, stars is too conservative. Why bother starring out swear words if they will chat ban you even if the words are starred out?
  8. Phil Ivey is having a great year and is one of the best players, but his results are ordinary FOR SOMEONE OF HIS SKILL. HIS SKILL IS EXTRAORDINARY, BUT WE AREN'T TALKING ABOUT HIS SKILL, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HIS RESULTS, AND BASED ON IVEY'S VERY HIGH SKILL LEVEL, HIS RESULTS CAN BE VIEWED AS RATHER PREDICTABLE
    See, this is the part of your argument that falls apart. Your saying Ivey isn't having amazing luck. Who cares? The point is he is having very good results, to the point where some would call it extraordinary. You can't say "If they were all on the same skill level..." because that would be stupid, like saying "if the Tide were as good as the Trojans, then only luck/strength of schedule would determine a national champion." That's obvious and trivial, and a totally specious argument.
  9. the "feather in your cap?"how gayits so funny about how people brag about "internet fame" only to realize that their real life sucks and that no one cares what you do on the internet....so youre a mod on a poker forum? and you write about it in your blog? big deal....i just hope that this place doesnt get like the 2+2 forums and have all creative license thrown out...my 2 centsbtw, custom you may just be trying to do your job, or you may be a douche on a power trip, i dont care....just dont jew it up ok? this place is good as it is and very informative while also being civil (for the most part) and workplace safe.
    This post seems really offensive and totally unnecessary flamage. :club: i like clubs. :D:D:D:)
