Making a rogue..

Moderator, I just want to ask your stance on something, and I'm not being sarcastic.



If I called a 500lb man, annorexic, would you look on that as racism? Just want to know your view on it.

Well... first of all that statement doesn't really make a lot of sense. If you're trying to look at it as an analogy and saying that an African American is to the n-word as a 500lb man is to anorexic then obviously no. Anorexic and 500 lbs usually don't go hand in hand as terms... take a 0 out of that 500 and you're closer. If you called a 500 lb man obese... it's not racist, but I'd consider it offensive. Then again, I'm not one for really labeling people. Comes with being in med school and having to work with everyone, regardless of racial or bodily status.

No, unless fat people suddenly became a race.

Thanks for clearing that up, I was just confused by a post by Nicozy earlier, and it got me thinking.

nic said saying nig to a white guy, not a black guy. i agree with his point that both mean nothing really (that and calling a 500lb person aneroxic - except that would definitely be sarcastic).

500lb obviously not anorexic, white obviously not nig. so neither should be offensive...



now on 500lb people. its not racist b/c fat is not a race. it could be construed as mean...but oh well. and as far as obese, Taitaih, idk how you wouldnt call them that. that would be the politically correct term, doctor. actually morbidly obese. you have to call certain people certain things and i for one am tired of the politically correct tip-toe labeling of people nowadays. if you call a 500lb person fat and they get offended then /facepalm and move on.you dont have to hate them for it or judge them but you have to acknowledge it (especially as a doctor for diagnosing and such)

Nice fail quote

I agree with Eloz, I'm not sure what you were trying to achieve there.



22" fatceps anyone?



I don't think you should be questioning a MEDICAL SCHOOL STUDENT, do you?



Now get back to posting e-stats.

 

[Taitaih]

I find it interesting that people would even really find 22" biceps remotely impressive .



95% girls hate guys who are overly large from the gym, at least from my experiences... what girls think is what quantifies what guys do amirite?



In any case... back on topic. I've always been able to survive without improved gouge, however I usually chose to glyph with glyph of gouge. In combination makes the combo pretty awesome for arena, however the uses for gouge seem to diminish in regular BGs, mainly because CC tends to get broken by people around you and by AoE or stuff like chain lightning.
