You can’t hide behind “well, it’s just my opinion” when your opinion attacks an entire group of people.

I’m pretty sure that’s the entire strategy of Gawker media.

It’s the same mentality behind statements like, “I don’t mean to offend...” don’t even finish the sentence, just shut the hell up.
The other one (also made fun of in an episode of RCR) is, “Just sayin’.” Yeah that right, you just said that pile of horseshit that came out of your mouth, that’s the fucking problem.
The “article” about Jeremy Clarkson’s “article” (which was amusingly hidden behind a paywall, so I doubt many had read) was a total clusterfuck. Holy fuck.
I really hope Oppo doesn't change because I don't feel like I can comment anywhere else on the internet anymore without feeling disgusted in myself and everyone else.

They’re aloud to have their own opinions just like everyone else as long as it doesn’t physically harm anyone. ‘Merica dammit

If you are going to make a statement that starts with
“I don’t mean to offend...”
Bullshit, you do mean to offend and you should actually grow a pair and just make the statement. I’d rather hear someone’s actual opinion instead of some half-assed, gobbledygook trying to hide behind meaningless drivel.

You can’t hide behind “well, it’s just my opinion” when your opinion attacks an entire group of people unless I agree with you .
Fixed that for you.

Exactly, take ownership of your words, and if this is a major concern, then THINK before you speak. I wish people would follow that old saying about it being better to remain silent and appear dumb than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. People are removing all doubt too often these days.

Ah. I read it when it was first posted so only a couple comments. Been afraid to go back. Miss Mercedes comments on my post makes me think I'd rather not.

For the sake of transparency, I drop that line when I do think something is funny, even if it’s not really funny to others. Perhaps the difference is that I stand behind what I think is funny.
i.e. I think it’s funny that car enthusiasts like to bitch about not getting enthusiast oriented models and then when an enthusiast model finally comes out, that they just bitch about it anyway.
Others might not find that so funny, but it amuses me.

The worst is when someone says, “I’m not racist but ...” And then they proceed to say something insanely racist.

“I don’t mean to offend...” should usually just be “I’m not offended.”

Yeah, “I don’t mean to offend” is basically saying “Yeah, this is probably offensive, but I’m saying it anyway” although with the latter at least you’re acknowledging it.

1) Write article, using some facts. Not all facts, just some. Enough to incite heated discussion.
2) Wait for a few minions “ungreys” to start an argument
3) Watch argument unfold
4) Wait for bazillions of sweet, sweet clicks
5)

Well I just don’t see the point of having a Author getting cross posted when They insults an entire community that they are cross posted to. If I wanted a narrow viewpoint I’d shove my Head up my Ass. Look out of my pee hole. (Sometimes I do anyway.)
