when people say "oh my God!!" or "Jesus Christ!" in an offensive way....i.e., every movie out there.

I definitely have to agree with what most people posted in this thread already. Racist jokes offend me the most. I don't care if people are "joking" around, but it is really hurtful. It doesn't matter if the joke is against my race, it's still against a certain one, and it's disgusting how people laugh at them.

even though im not put through it, racism is very offensive to me. one of my dads brothers family is very against black people. i think of black people as more friendly as white people and a lot easier to get along with.

when ppl try to tick u off on person or act really stupid.. it's like.. no.

when ppl look over your shoulder at school at least when it's not your friends, and when they do it execisvely (sp?). but that's more annoying not offensive.

hmmm...when someone talks behind your back. at least if it's bad things. aaaaannnnddd ...when someone insults your obviously



sorry, I have a bad habbit of saying "jesus!" when I'm anoyed or what knot

The general population's attitude towards hiphop.

() Ignorant religious zealots.
() Holier-Than-Thou attitudes.
() Enviromental hysteria.
() PETA supporters.
() Discrimination. Racism. Sexism. Agism. Homophobia.
() Close-minded individuals or parties.
() Pseudo-intellectuals.
() Pseudo-science.
() Taboos that hurt communication and honest intellectual developement.
() Missy Elliot jacking beats from classic techno tracks like Clear by Cybotron.
() People who think that when certain sounds are put together to form certain words what is created can be inherently "bad."

I get really offended by people who cant take others opinions into consideration. Especially when it comes to music, like what THEY like is GREAT and ugh, it really bothers me.

I really don't get offended by people. Some people annoy me, but I wouldn't say that their actions go so far as to offend me.

a LOT of things pisses me off... but for starters... sexism!!!

when ppl make fun of your teeth. rofl

Racism and sexism really gets to me.
Also when people talk to me as if im stupid or I don't know anything. Especially the customers at my workplace. I find it very intimidating.

HAHA JAMES ILU.

but i completely agree with you about people using the word "gay" out of context. it really gets to me, especially the fact that all my closest friends use the word "gay" over and over again. like saying "this is gay" or "omg she is so gay"

oh and i have something to add. people saying the word "like" too much. ahh! it kills me.

Oh, and I have one more thing to add:
People who swear out loud that people 10m away can hear.
That really offends me.
I understand that people need to swear so they can release their anger, but keep it to yourself please.

Also those who swear in every single phrase they say. Especially those junior girls who are "cool-people" wannabes. They just think swearing excessively is a cool thing to do. I bet they don't even know what the words mean.

P.S. to Yanners: ahhh sorry! I use the word "like" quite often in sentences. I should use a substitute for it next time.

^hahah but you dont seem like the kind of person who uses the word "like" as basically every other word of the sentence like some people i know.
our english teacher actually lectured our class about it, because for our oral commentaries, people were using the word "like" and "uhm" too many times.

okay, back to topic, brandon, could you please explain what you mean by

Why certainly!

I've tried my best to explain the difference between rap and hiphop on createblog, but my efforts go unnoticed. Rap being the garbage you hear on the radio and hiphop being the poetic artform that is greatly unappreciated. If you were to play D4L's Shake that Laffy Taffy (which is garbage) against Mos Def's Love, this distinction would be clear as a sunny sky.

Regarding my comment, its as if hiphop is this lesser form of music confined strictly to black people; and by that, I'm referring to the white (no offense) majority of America turning their noses up to the entire culture.

I love jazz music... with an icnredible passion. However, if someone white, over the age of 25, asks me what I mainly listen to, I say jazz quicly followed by hiphop and classic soul. When I say jazz, this look of pleasant surprise always comes across their faces, but when I mention hiphop in the same breath, I get the feeling that they're thinking, "Figures."

Hiphop needs to be shown in a better light and it needs to be respected. The popularity of all these bullshit rap artists on the radio can be accredited to their image and how the youth, regardless of race, somehow would like to emulate it. If Common were the platinum artist that the Ying Yang Twinz are, people outside the social sphere and influence of hiphop would be more willing to give the culture more credit.

The general population's attitude toward hiphop offends me.

People who try to be like others...

PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT COMPETITION!!! It sickens me.

When people ignore you...they won't pick up their phones or respond to your text messages (to my ex) lol.

PEOPLE WHO'VE GOT NO MIND OF THEIR OWN. There are sooo many of them on cB

People who decieve themselves (knowingly or un-knowingly). I'll explain.
For the moderator nomitation thingy, i noticed few staff members (i'm going to make it plural...there's a possibility that only 1 staffer did this, but it's better this way) nominated their friends who are NOT AT ALL qualified. Not because they were qualified, but because they are friends. Few people also wrote "(s)he posts a lot in the forums". DUH! Everyone posts a lot but it's all about the quality. If these nominees should get modded...i'll pee in my pants. Be f**king true to yourselves!. There are people i LOVE but don't see them as mods.

I find these acts VERY offensive. But i just have to live with it. It's life.

EDIT// people who think everything is about "God". No offense to christians but i think it's getting too much. I get bored in the debate forum. Quit basing your opinions on "God/Christianity/Religion"...pff

Wow, you put that very well
rap=no good, IMO
but hiphop is actually good, yes

Rap and hip-hop= not really good. But i'll choose hip hop over rap without a second thought.

I find HYPOCRISIE OFFENSIVE!!!
I'm a f**king hypocrite. I got angry when evan bunnell said he wasn't attracted to black ppl or something like that (...i am just 100 % for my blk race than my white race)...when i wouldn't date an asian and i rarely date black boys. I actually have never dated a black boy in my entire life. The ones here in belgium are ugly... if only someone like the guy who posted before stanelythepanda lived over here.

I OPENLY APOLOGISE TO BUNNELL.

I'm offensive...

gay.porn. [men]

Not really good, as in; its not really your preference? I don't like country, but I can be the first to attest to Willie Nelson's talent. Now if thats not what you meant, then you can be categorized with the 'general population.'

Everyone is a hipocrit... you're probalby being hipocritical by saying you hate hiprocrits...

..ok. I meant rap and hip hop is kind of like erm...
Take 50 cent for example...he's an hip hop artist right? ()...read his lyrics, wtf? I live in a french country so ppl usually don't know what they are saying. I heard a boy (12/13 yr old) singing: Get to kissing and touching a lil bit
Get to licking and f**king a lil bit.
WTF? If i should hear my child singing that, i'll kick his butt. They curse a lot in most rap/hip hop songs. But there are good ones though.

EDIT// "theflashxmwc": see? i'm an hypocrite

50 Cent is rap, not hiphop.
