| 141 | Thats your opinion and you are entitled to it. I think the only "deeper problems" that I may have is that I am looking at the topic from a different social, cultural or political viewpoint than you are.
| Vocabulary Test (Slang): "Bling bling"--what the heck does this phrase mean to you? |
| 142 | I don't see it as a racist perspective, like you. Thats too cliche, if you ask me. I see it as cultural differences. I told you which culture I reside in already, if I'm not mistaken. | Vocabulary Test (Slang): "Bling bling"--what the heck does this phrase mean to you? |
| 143 | Still, I think there are only words and phrases used by certain sects of society that don't apply to other groups and cultures. Though multiculturalism has blurred the lines between groups, overall separate cultures still will maintain their identities. This of course shown by religion, values, practices and yes, language.
Speaking of my own social location, I don't see where the trends of adopting other cultures norms has become widespread. The culture still has it's own unique traits that will remain etched within it. | Vocabulary Test (Slang): "Bling bling"--what the heck does this phrase mean to you? |
| 144 | I suppose it depends on what your definition of "real words" actually are. My interpretation is different than yours, obviously. I just don't think certain slang can be categorized as such. | Vocabulary Test (Slang): "Bling bling"--what the heck does this phrase mean to you? |
| 145 | I wouldn't think they would not be included in the everyday dictionary. I'm certain those words are there, under different meanings, perhaps. However, if you are thinking of the slang definitions for each of these words that I think you are, I personally would hope not.
In my opinion, I don't think there is any reason for slang phrases to become commonly used or ever included in formal discourse, much less impact the English language. Though, looking at this issue fairly and without bias, if these words have become ingrained in our society to such an extent as to include them in the dictionary, than I'm sure the intended definitions are there rightly so. | Vocabulary Test (Slang): "Bling bling"--what the heck does this phrase mean to you? |
| 146 | In Ohio, we had unseasonable temps. A week ago, (1/10/05) the temperatures were in the upper 50's and 60's. Over the weekend, the temps dipped back down into the low 20's and now it's in the single digits. Thats not too uncommon though for Ohio. The weather is so unpredictable here it almost seems the norm. | What type of cataclysmic weather is happening in your neighborhood today? |
| 147 | Nope, no problems with that. I can say I've had a friend thats probably gone through that experience though. | Have you ever been so broke you didn't have enough money to get to work? |
| 148 | Some kind of symbolic gesturing. I can't say I know what the sign of the Freemasons would be, but I'm assuming by the choices that that would be what is most in common. | What do these two pictures have in common? |
| 149 | All of this talk about Satanic cults and especially the words that have been used by the "true founders" of the Masons sounds more like Jews are behind it than anything else. The use of the Hebrew word "Goy" short for "Goyim" or Gentile. Also, the rhetoric discussing the returning to their kingdom (Israel?) and how they are of a scattered tribe. This is true. The Jews were a nomadic tribe of people from the deserts. Perhaps they are the behind these sinister words that have been posted by you.

| 150 | What of the quote, "Say they are Jews and are not but do lie". This probably means they are and say they aren't but are lying in order to mask their identity. Any other ideas that might prove me wrong?
