The blond joke was a stereotype. Your previous one, as I indicated, wasn't based on a stereotype. It was based on a racist idea.

I was making reference to it. I wouldn't use that word, just like I wouldn't use a lot of other slurs because they exist solely for demeaning purposes in today's society. It's contemporary derivation has a usage that is hurtful to many people. For you to try to point it out like I was scared to say it makes you a dipshit because you didn't say it either. I'm not confusing anything. But I do think you're right, a lot of jokes are based on stereotypes. That doesn't eliminate the responsibility of the joke teller, though. If you want to be a racist, then just be fine with it. Just accept it. A lot of people want to harbor feelings of prejudice and act like saying a joke, like your supposed gem, isn't racist. Your joke makes an implication that isn't true, because all races of people are rapists. Therefore your joke isn't stereotyping, it's just racist. Maybe you're not a racist and just being edgy. But you can't say something and expect everyone to accept it and view it the way you do.

I think you're cool, dude and I don't think your attempt at humor was necessarily racist but I'm not sure you thought all this through. By your declaration that "Racism is hatred, nothing more and nothing less" you fail to recognize a basic premise accepted by a majority of people. You claim there aren't racial words, racial jokes, and racial slurs, but that's not true. There are racist jokes. Anytime you drop the N word in a joke, then it's a racist joke. It's generally accepted that the word was used to demean black people. I agree to some extent that intention matters, however, there are words and slurs that carry prejudice and racist overtones, thus making them entirely useless for any purpose other than to denigrate people. Remember, words don't have meaning, they have usage. And how they are used most of the time dictates how they're interpreted. Just some thoughts.

Not really equal, is it? Dude that put out Starting Line 10"s wants to trade that for two of those tests.

What trades are you into? You got a list of wants?

Oh, what was it?

I'll trade you something for it but I don't have the cash. Cool boner punch story.

I hope selling it is cathartic for you but I want to hear what appears to be a juicy story.

This year is going to be nuts. There are so many releases and so many stores participating. Half the shit I want probably won't be available.

Wait, this is....sealed?

^^^Download code work?

This hasn't become one of those records that has an 'ebay value'. It's not like their first record. These aren't selling so there's no need for such a ridiculously high price.

What kind of trades are you looking for? Got a list?

What's the deal on that copy of Blue Train? Mono or stereo? Repress? If so, what's the weight of the record (150, 180gram, etc)?

Such a good album. I had been looking for this so long, but to my advantage, I got it. Best of luck dude!

Only $15 just two months ago when it came out.

They only have one store here in the city. I think there other store is in St. Louis. Call Skullyz on Bourbon St. Those guys are really nice and they're ordering everything. Also, might want to check Mushroom on Broadway, they get a lot of RSD stuff.

Where you going for RSD konk? My girl is having a dental procedure on Friday so I might not get to go out at all. I'll have to take care of my kid.

I think we're finding out that it's not old stock.

Since we're talking about MxPx, this thread shouldn't contain the coarse language presented throughout. Let's clean it up, guys.

I fucking overdrew my checking account when this cleared today! But it was worth it, I knew this wouldn't last. All my damn bills come out the first of the month. 1st - Rent 6th - Car 8th - Cell phone That takes up nearly my whole paycheck.

So dumb. The two most populated cities in Louisiana, BT and NOLA don't have records at their Hot Topics but Bossier City does. I drive to Biloxi whenever there is a sale. Oh, I called Houston and they don't have Alchemy Box Set.

I once found like 5 of these at a Hot Topic clearance. I bought them all. I think I sold every single one for a buck or two.

This is the biggest mystery of 2011 so far.

I shouldn't post stuff when I'm trying to go to sleep. It comes out incoherent.
