Sometimes it is all worth it

please be aware of the more modern usage of that word:

"Oriental" is believed by some to be antiquated, pejorative, and disparaging due to its Eurocentric usage in the United States.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orient

Urban Dictionary: oriental

1. oriental Politically incorrect term used in place of "Asian." Correct usage should be an adjective for things like inanimate objects, not humans.

In academia, when one reads books written centuries ago, one does not judge their use of language we'd today consider inappropriate or derogatory. We understand that the authors who wrote those books are writing them using the language of their era.

Why don't posters give Gary the same courtesy? Why not let relics of a past era use language of their time without judging them for it?

It's quite unfair. If I'm 70 and "bling" has turned into yet another pejorative for #######, I hope people won't mind if I continue to use it the way it was in 2013.

Good that Brother Mox is back, see/si man!

I don't mind being called a bolillo (Hispanic term for "white bread," meaning a gringo), no man. It's rather a compliment, si man.

On a happier note: They found these near Mrs. T-B.'s hometown in a river where she had planned to take me swimming, see man:

I will repost without "bad language"

This kid just sounds lazy to me

Sounds like a smart kid to me....having his hot girlfriend make him hamburgers while wearing heels and a short skirt.

Doesn't your husband do that for you?

I hope not while wearing a short skirt and heels.

Does my husband allow me to make him hamburger? We don't actually eat burgers so the answer to that is no.

She looks like a Russian Taylor Swift.

Maybe the one poster needs to talk to her husband. Couple should be open and honest....any couple should want to bring their relationship to new explorations and excitations !!!

Yeah, this isn't creepy at all.

Nothing against Gary, but I think that if someone is with it enough to drop Taylor Swift references, no need to treat them like a doddering old fool who can't adjust their language to suit the current time. I, personally, would never use the word "bling" in the first place, but when I'm 70, I hope that someone lets me know if I am accidentally saying something that means "#######" when I don't intend to, or if, say, "Asian" is now considered offensive.

I also don't see anything wrong with someone doing nice things for their partner. Having someone make you hamburgers does not make you lazy. What, is the new relationship model never doing nice things for the other person?

Well, aren't you just so precious!

I think that we've begun to forget the elegant expressiveness of Gary's original intent in this thread (refer to the earliest posts). I, for one, am quite willing to forgive someone a few missteps when he's able to pen such touching words, see man.

And no one has commented on the content of the links in my thread just above, no man.
