Version 7? The latest version I saw was Version 5 or something like that. o.o

Well either way, if I went to download that to Vista right now, it would be fine?

So I heard that I need to get Avast, but since I have Vista, I heard it fucks up your computer. Is this true and should I just use AVG? Or does Avast work for Vista?

The computer I'm on is over eight years old. Works fine. And then it explodes. Do things you own usually go from 'lalala fine and dandy' to 'OH SHIT FIRE' in just a few seconds? This computer has been working for over eight years with only a few minor problems that my dad easily fixed. Maybe your d...

So it turns out my computer is probably dead and I can't get it to respond to anything. System Restore doesn't seem to do anything and I'm at a loss. I think after 3 long years, my PC has bitten the dust. I'm trying everything in my power to fix what's going on, but that's just it. I don't know what...

Fair enough I suppose. I can see why someone wouldn't like the show. But yeah.

Yeah seriously guys. Zim itself is a good enough show.

Though the fanbase itself, dear lord. If you're going to be annoyed by anything, it needs to be the fanbase. It is comparable with the Sonic fanbase. And that's terrible.

Please, show me when nigger has been used as a term of endearment. Well... Kings of Comedy, DefJam Records, the little boys who like to pretend they're gangsters. Oh, just every now and then in The Boondocks. Wait, that's "nigga" not "nigger" Oops. Sorry for the double post but i had to also adress...

I agree with the idea that context and user makes the difference, but like Bacon said, you just can't ignore the history behind the word nigger. Nigger, however, is not going to lose it's meaning for a long, long time. Oh sure, it won't lose its history or racial slur status anytime soon. That's ab...

It just doesn't work with a word like nigger, though. You can't just ignore all the awful things that word is associated with. Sure you can. It happens everyday. Again I say, context and the user makes the difference. In a lot of cases, it probably isn't right. There probably aren't a lot of instan...

None of those videos really addresses the point of majority group discrimination vs minority group discrimination, which is what I was going for. Oh, THAT'S what you wanted. I thought you just wanted something talking about the terms themselves and how they may or may not be very offensive. And act...

I could use this argument as an opportunity to link to a somewhat humorous yet insightful video discussing racial sensitivity and the emotional baggage that is carried on the word 'nigger' or 'cracker', whether that baggage comes from the word or the user itself.

I totally could.
