Just as a side note, i'm being destroyed by my teachers, so i won't be as active on here anymore. I probably won't die, but i won't be posting everyday.

it happened suddenly as Jarhead was sitting down to go onto airsoftallies.com,the victim's parents said' the alien grandmother swooped down and hit him with her paralyze cookie. he looked to his pet goldfish, SSGT. glubbers for help, he just sat there. The alien grandmother then took her hostage to the (grand)mothership for testing. the true name of the victim is yet to be announced. more news as it arrives. this is noob news.

*drags body to river and throws in*
I don't even know who this jarhead fella is, this guy fell asleep from a club bashed into his head and asked for a swim. Wiat I have some umm dye on my hands I'll um go alert the interweb fashion police.
Well to give further reason to keep this thread open (or get it closed sooner?)...I wanted to bring something up publicly that I would not bring up were Jarhead still an active member... ...because I'm not really into confrontational conversations.
I should have brought it up a while ago:
We would never dare to use the "n-word" in casual conversation...and certainly not on this forum. Which leads me to question why "raghead", "sand n****r", and other demeaning terms for Muslims and Western-Asians in general was accepted as commonplace on these boards. Most of us were guilty of it at some point in a heated conversation or joking (though the line between joking and intolerant ranting is very slim).
Now I realize it hasn't happened recently, I praise those of you who would typically include these phrases in their vocabulary for showing the restraint and courtesy, but looking back it seems stuff like that never went punished (whether it actually did or not, I do not know). I'm sure moderators did say something to most of the people...but those who continually failed to f-in' keep their mouth shut often found their inboxes crammed full of my PM's... the most common response to such PM's being something along the lines of "sorry, man...that's just my culture." or "oh no, I'm from [insert red state], that's just how we are"...though a number were kind enough to admit their wrongdoing and edit their posts.
Your character should not be decided by where you live or who you live with...it's not decided by your friends...it's decided by your natural knowledge within that helps you determine right from wrong, the knowledge we all have no matter where we are from or how we were raised. If you're trying to look hard, fine...go ahead and puff out your chest, we could care less...but don't be so ignorant to reality that you forget morals in the process.
I bring this up now because the forum has grown significantly...and will continue to grow. Being a largely anonymous member-base...you really don't know the ethnicity or religious views of the other parties unless they were to share it here.
Which brings me to my point: just don't f-ing use those words! Simply put. Why would you risk harming someone else on a forum that prides itself with having a friendly?
Anyway, that's my nightly rant. Just thought it deserved some thought...about etiquette on the forum and in your life offline.
LETS HAVE SOME FUN~!!

Wait. When did jarhead say any of this, or when has he been associated with any of it? I have talked to him quite a bit, and have never had any of these problems. You really shouldn't be saying anything about him behind his back, as it is just as bad as what you are describing here, in a different way. Excuse me if I misunderstood your post.
