i really love the bauhaus from the front view, but from the back it reminds me too much of a really cropped womens jacket :(

The guy is not falling, he's breakdancing...

Yeah. France houses some of the best breakdancers in the world...

no no, it's called parkour...

[BBYY]

That's not the same thing, but many french are some of the best in that disciplone too.

This strikes me as in very poor taste....

they better be, they invented the fucking thing. of course the English invented football, and that's not helping...

I distinctly remember someone being banned for simply typing jewrius.

I dont think Christian is a racist, merely that it is offensive to dress up in a manner resembling a certain sub-culture strongly associated with a certain race and then use a word with highly offensive connotations regarding that race.

Its not a matter of political correctness but of tact and taste.

[Sombre]

I hate getting involved in arguments like these, but I feel compelled. The word Christian typed, with the "-az" ending is, within that subculture you refer to (as far as I understand), distinctly different from the phonetically similar morpheme with the "-er" ending. Within that subculture, the "-az" ending is simply a synonym for other members of that group. Recently, that has expanded to include members of other races. It's just a way to refer to people within the group. While slightly uncommon, members who do not pertain to that group do use the term. This practice seems quite rampant over at Superfuture.

If you ask me, I think the proliferation of the usage of the word, and all its variants, is in poor taste, regardless of the "subculture" the user belongs to. But hey, I'm quite pedantic about word usage, so what do I know.

My point is, while I find every usage of the word tasteless, I don't regard Christian's usage of the word any more tasteless than I would if it came from a member of the "subculture" you referred to.

[Sombre]

Why is that?

surely you jest.. there's got to be a line drawn in all the pc rubbish. would much rather see something else discussed here, because this subject is (yet again. can someone count the number of times this comes up?) stupid.

I don't necessarily think it is a stupid subject, even though I agree its not worth discussing here.
I think sometimes we get too worked up about these things.
I agree with Sombre, that the use of the word is often tasteless, even though I don't think it is in every instance.

The problem is that one ought to know how to discern between genuine humor (in Chants case) and when someone is intending to offend. i have seen many instances where individuals take offense to the use of a word or some kind of act, when the user of the word had no intention to offend. this to me is where maturity lies, in knowing when to take offense and when not to..................

trust me, there is nothing special about it

the problem lies in execution, probably.
