give a yahoo a break!

i cant think of anything original to say so i thought i would cut and paste a funny interaction Ruby and i had in comments of another post recently . . .
first watch this video:
the original question:
What do you think? Is it risky to call someone not close to you by an endearment, not knowing how they might react? Or does it promote goodwill and bring people together?
Morgan says:
i actually find it really strange when friends use endearments towards me like honey, baby, darling, pumpkin, possum, sweetie etc . . . i dont find it offensive, i think its quite nice, just unexpected as i dont think of myself as a "cute" type of person, i think of myself as fairly serious . . . but i guess its a compliment that others feel comfortable around me
and then Morgan says:
theres plenty of things in the world that warrant getting offended over but i dont think Obama saying sweetie is one of them . . . he apologised, its obviously an automatic turn of phrase that he used by accident, geez give a n...... a break lol
Ruby says:
what I'd like to hear at an Obama press conference:
"I didn't mean to be a sexist when I called that cute little reporter chick sweetie. Suffering suffragettes, give a n***a a break!"
BAHAHAHAHAhahaha fun times!
where it all went down:

If it still doesn't work, try going to Planck's Constant.com I just found out about it and it's a really great blog. The only problem is that it doesn't seem to allow comments.

Planck's Constant for all you uninitiated has the dubious honour of being the writer of my first ever Crazy Conservative Quote of the Week!

Cibb, I told you on that post and I'll tell you again- everything you said on that post, you were well within your rights to do so. Did Yahoo contact you? Are they going to make a hit list of their "ten best friends on the internet"?

Cibbuano,
were you criticising yahoo and got in trouble?
Ruby,
there is always time for a threatening "ten best friends on the internet" list . . . if Cibbuano was being sleazy or sarcastic he MUST be censored . . . this is communist China isnt is? lol

(He also criticised the Cathilic Church for their hypocritical attitude of donating money to people they are only condemning to hell anyway. It appears that there is a voice on orble that thought he was being unreasonable...not for picking on yahoo mind you... but for picking on the poor defenceless catholic church).
I wasn't aware the post has been deleted. Morgan, it looks like your nemesis isn't the only wanna be orble-cleaner upper. i guess sugar works better than vinegar huh?
