Okay, another pointless thread exploiting negligence. The applications was a good creation. The users stuffing the database with unacceptable slogans are the problem. You can't fix it, game over.

It's a cool app. I do wish there was a way to turn on and off the global "answers".

Just uninstalled Magic 8ball. Thanks for the heads up.

Get over it. You can't have it both ways. If you're offended by a word, don't use it. Back in the day, slaves called themselves the N word, as a term of endearment, in order to take a negative term, and try to bring themselves together during the hardship. After the ordeal though, they didn't continue on calling themselves the word. I just think it's ignorant, regardless of who says it, especially when saying it in a demeaning manner. If you're saying it matter-o-factly, I still have an issue, but it's whatever. I can't deny that the word hasn't slipped off of my tongue in conversations with my comrades, though it's just so ingrained in us now, that it's really terribly hard to stop. Vocal inflection has a lot to do with how it is taken too. My "white" friends use the term towards me, but with a definition of "friend", or "buddy", or someone close in general. I just hate it when people are so quite to use the idioms, and then get upset when someone else does as well. *shrug* .. /rant

allrigh... well i had to comment on this i figured it was worth registering...

first of all... who made you the spokesperson for all black people? You and WHO came to this consensus that black people are quick to referr to others as crackers and wetbacks? No... calling a caucasian cracker or a mexican a "wet-back" opens no room for validity in the case that someone calls ANY black person a n***er. African Americans use it among themselves and THATS JUST THE WAY IT IS, its been a part of our lives for so long it will often come out without thinking. I dont know where you came from with that slave bullsh*t but im pretty sure thats the stupidest 'explanation' i have ever heard. If i could have my way i would erase the word from everybodies memory but thats not how it goes, and people need to learn to stop using it lightly,, and most definatley stop taking it lightly. As for the guy that wrote the statement in the 8ball.... smh..... it dissapoints me to see that many have become so desensitized to think thats funny.

and as for your white friends that say the word around you all the time... you are a poor excuse for anybody with a spine., would you really let someone talk reckless like that around you? And not say ANYTHING? Where do you live? THese must be your only acquaintances because any white friend of mine that reffered to me *** n-i-*-*-a would either get stomped out or cut out of my circle of trust...

its disheartening to hear it coming from a white person and its even more disheartening to hear of a african american male to just sit back and let it happen.





anyway,, [1st post]!
