Although considering the price range, I might just pony up a few thousand more and go for a used SLK250.
If you can live with a two-seater.

Yeah, it's a bit douchey. So what. I like the way the car looks and it's not like I've got a wife or kids to feed.
The 3 Series is a fine car, but it's the cheapest German luxury, so it tends to be purchased by douche-y social climbers who are on a budget.
Now, the 7 Series is douche-y, but in a "rich old bastard" kind of way. The 6 Series, M6 and M3 convertible are all good choices made by non-douche-y people, although I'd avoid any BMW that didn't have a dual clutch transmission. And if I was going to spend that much money, I'd probably just buy it new.
Hey, I gotta be true to who I am. Although you can't really be a social climber if you aspire to the same social status as your parents.Honestly, I always planned to get a Toyota MR2 new or a used Porsche Boxster, but then Toyota stopped making good looking cars and Porsche raised their prices. Dammit, what happened that the only choice for a decent 2-seater convertible these days in the 25-30k range is a goddamn miata. WTF?

Expect high maintenance costs on that one.

The world's gone to hell. Still, the SLK is a fine car, if you want a roadster. There are probably a couple of other decent roadsters, but I can't think of them off-hand because I don't do roasters.

I should hope so. How else are you going to talk about the horny toad your cat caught in the back yard, or discuss the horny layer of skin cells, or mention picking up some horny goat weed extract at the health-food store.

This thread has all you'll ever need: workplace sex, racism and gay bashing. And it even passes through content filters. Have we invented something special here?

@morbiuswilters said:Sooo.. she's like 100 years old and she used the n-word at some time in her life and she got fired? That's.. kind of stupid. I mean, anybody over, like, 30 has probably used the n-word in their life. Was she caught on tape screaming it at somebody recently or something? Because from the article on CNN she just admitted in a deposition to using it "in the past", which is very vague. She's being sued for racism by former employees, but I don't think anybody's going to know what happened there. On the one hand, some ancient white woman being racist probably isn't too surprising.
While that's the part that's been making the hay on the evening news, it's blurb material that's of little worth. What IS interesting is that she's been engaging in what I call "small business God-Boss tactics", wherein she's telling the black employees to show up at personal parties and shindigs and do her catering and shit for no pay (or maybe beer)...or be fired. Very much the "Four'd" type of story. And somebody got fed up with the bullshit and filed suit.
I'm pretty sure that the Food Network is using the "racist in the past" as the visible excuse, while quietly deciding that they want nothing to do with shitty business tactics.
@Ronald said:Is the n-word "Nappy headed hoes"? Cause I use that a lot.
Yup, definitely Protestant and either an unreconstructed Southerner (Klan-man) or a Yankee ([INSERT STATE] Nazi). Gotta love 'em.
@Ronald said:They made it look like slavery was a thing that white men created but the truth is that it's was very common in all cultures at that time.
Ahh. David Barton and Jonah Goldberg enthusiast. Good to know.
@Ronald said:Depends what you mean by "the African slave trade".
In the context of this conversation, it's a reference to the North Atlantic Triangle trade. Which, if you were not being an obtuse jackass deliberately trying to be dense, you would be aware of. Unless you're actually that fucktarded and unable to recognize the context.
@arh said:What is it with you americans and the racism thing, seriously?
Honest answer? It's because it's still a prevalent issue in modern American society.
I don't know personally how it is outside of the Deep South, but let's take a job opening as an example. Let's assume that my opponent for the job is a well-educated black man with a couple of degrees, a sterling work history, supervisory lead experience, a good attitude, and who has the perfect skillset for the job - and is able to produce the code on the fly at the interview to prove it.
And then I rock up in t-shirt and jeans, no coding skills whatsoever, not fit to lead shit, a bad attitude [1], and I drift to a new job every couple of years. I'm in no way qualified...but I'm white, male, and I have a name that reads like "John Richard Hawley-Smoot III". Guess what? I'm getting the job. And why? Because I'm Whitey McWhiterson from Whitebread Town. And that's just how things roll down here.
And that's a true story of how I got hired at one place, BTW. As the guy who interviewed me later said, "If they're brown, you know to take 'em down. If they're white, you know they're all right."
@Ronald said:Violence is never a good solution.
Bullshit. Violence is always a good solution. It's usually a final one too. It's the ultimate end of all arguments; you win the argument if the other person is unable to respond due to having been beaten unconscious.
[1] Trufax: I once ended an argument with an employee under me with the words: "I am the supervisor. You are the subordinate. There will be OBEDIENCE to my dictates." Didn't go over well with him. I think HR was amused, but I never stuck around to find out.

Although a large part of why it's prevalent is because people won't shut up about it.
@Castaigne said:
I don't know personally how it is outside of the Deep South...
The racism is different outside the South. In the South the racism is--as your story went--"Don't hire a darkie, lest they.. I dunno, rape your wimmens, or steal your coffee maker to make their crack out of." Although, in the South, racism doesn't seem to be well-tolerated by most whites, at least from my experience. Of course, I didn't grow up in Mississippi, so maybe there the white folk still load up their Democrat wagons with pipe bombs for the local black church.
Outside of the South, racism tends to be more complex, more wide-spread and usually somewhat more subtle. I will break it down based on the race of the person being racist:
White: Usually the welfare state, politically-correct, plantation-style racism. I can't tell you how many rich, white liberals I've had tell me "The African-American community really need people like us to help them out." It's patronizing, the same kind of "the black man needs the white man to guide him and give him structure" claptrap of the old plantations, albeit with less whipping.
Note that none of these people know an actual black person (except maybe their golf caddy) nor are they trying to meet any. They're the type who could be sitting in their car in a very upscale mall parking lot, and they will surreptitiously hit the power locks if they spot a group on more than one black person.
Also note that any black man who dares to hold political opinions that are not center-left is immediately branded a race-traitor. Light mocking of his race is usually permitted. Nothing as crude as the n-word, more stuff that questions his "blackness" and accuses him of being secretly "whiter than most white people". You'll see this a lot in comedy, where apparently it's acceptable to question a black person's authenticity if they fail to fulfill the stereotype that has been laid out before them: impoverished, noble, down-trodden, on welfare, voting a straight Democrat ticket and living far, far away from the person doing the judging.
Black: Generally hate every other single race. (Of course, not all black people do, but maybe a third?) Really, really hate white people.
Any Other Race: Pretty openly distrustful of black people. It's not Ronald levels of cross-burning hatred, but more of a general sentiment that all black people steal and are to be feared. East Asians in particular are somewhat interesting in this regard. Most don't seem to comprehend that their racist attitudes are wrong.
Where I live, everyone is somewhat racist, it seems. (Although white people are the least racist, I guess because of all the shame and whatnot.) It's a lighthearted, poking-fun-at-everyone-else kind of racism, though, and nobody seems to think it is wrong.

Did you quit immediately? And throw acid in his fat, racist face?

Dude, violence rocks. I mean, not against innocent people or over trivial things; it's always something you should take serious and use as a somewhat-last-resort. But for solving problems, it's pretty damn good; when's the last time we've had trouble out of Germany or Japan, huh?

BTW, this shirt has pink stripes.
The shirt is awful, the pants are shit, and they fit really really poorly. Shoes are good, though. I want to take driving lessons and buy a big car so that I can run him over and smear his smug face into the asphalt.

@Snooder said:
Light colored shirts are generally better looking than darker shirts. They contrast better with tie, pants and suit jacket, and with the proper striping they make guys look leaner.
I don't wear shirts. Sweaters and Ts. Dark is very kind to me. I don't look as good in light attire, unless it's pants. Light pants are okay, but so are dark ones.

Are you one of those guys who wear black jeans and a dog choker chain running from the belt to the pocket? Or possibly denim bermudas? Not a lot of guys can pull the Henry Rollins look.

Depends on the prison. I'm sure there are any number of federal prisons in the Southern District of New York with a large majority of white prisoners who pose less physical danger than a newborn kitten. Financially though, they'll fuck your shit up.

Or tax evasion. Although usually they don't put you in black person prison for that.

Eskimo is offensive. The proper term is Innu (but "ice chinks" will also work with some people).

Wait, we'll all forgetting about child molestation and/or child pornography. Though usually minor first offenders tend to manage to avoid outright jailtime. Can't avoid that registry though.

That's true, that's a crime that's 99% white and 1% Hispanic. But the only thing I'd fear from a child molester in prison is that some of his blood might squirt on me when he gets beaten to death by the other inmates within the first 10 minutes.

I remember a case where a guy in his sixties owned a restaurant. He was the sort of pervy-old-man boss who'd always touch the waitresses, but never really did anything major. Well, he made the mistake of copping a feel on one of his waitresses who happened to be just a couple months shy of her 18th birthday. He's now on the registry.

Urban legend. Child molesters are located in different sections or different prisons. It's in jail that they are fair game (before they are convicted).
