Haha. You might want to change the name of the title though, unless a mod changes it for you (or you could put *joke*).

Already changed..

This is your last warning oliver.
I warned you in your other thread on communism, don't use the word commy. If you are too lazy to type out communist, then don't post. Commy offends some people, myself included.

May I ask why the word "commy" is offensive? Maybe I'm just missing something…

And chink if you're chinese? And Prug if you're paraguayan? I see.

I don't like communists though. It is a terrible way of life.

When you abbreviate it "Commy", its not necessarily derogatory, just how you use it. I don't think down on communists, but I'd rather type "Commy" instead.

For example, I don't really think a person would mind (This person is Japanese) if you called them a "Jap" as long as you told them it was just shorthand. But if you call them "Nip", I remember reading on that as a specific insult. Or you can use Yank and Yankee as an example. Are British people offended when called Brits? Maybe, I'm not a Brit.

In you opinion.
Not mine.
And maybe not other peoples.

Also @ r0b0t

It's the same as "nigger", it's a short way of saying "Negro", but black people get very offended by it. Even though it was black people who first called themselves that.

But anyway Communism topic is over and closed, it's offensive to some people and you don't really have any control over that.

Back on topic please.

LOL
'Nigger' has more characters than 'negro,' and I call people yankees at every opportunity I come across.
How is this not Communist, the 'government' controls the market in Communism doesn't it?
And just for future reference, what is a derogatory term for 'American'?

Read my post again, its the short war to say it, not type.

Stay on topic, next person who goes off topic will get infraction for spam and I will close the thread.(Bad mood)

No in communism, the community controls the market. In a dictatorship the Supreme leader controls the market

Communists used to give free stuff like houses and food and stuff to their people. But the people had to work there asses off for there government. And yes jagex is acting like a dictator to there players with the prices. However its there game. They want to mess it up, then its up to them. Nothing we could or can do about it.
