Seeing as you have used the term multiple times, could you please provide a definition?

How about you Google "Arab phone"?

Ok.

Ah, so it's a derogatory racist term,then.

Why am I not surprised?

I suppose I could call it what the Portuguese or Romanians call it ("Cordless Phone"), but I'm afraid I would be accused of using a term that is against technology.

By all means, since racism lines up well with Christianity, I would expect nothing less from you.

I'm sure that, by "racism", you mean "speciation" ... right?

After all, I'm not the one who wrote: The Preservation of Favoured Races.

Nor do I set my watch by it.

Well that's interesting.

According to your link, your Arab Phoning is "Chinese Whispers", and "Chinese Whispers" is considered by some to be a derogatory term. So you, and apparently just you, change it to Arab, making it derogatory towards Arabs.

Why would you do that?

As I explained to Split Rock (?) a couple of years ago, using the term "Arab phone" allows me to use it as a verb and household appliance.

Thus I can say such things as: Hang up the Arab phone.

Nope. By racism, I mean that you think you're better than anyone who is not a white male 'Merican. The type of person who uses derogatory terms like "Arab phone," and thinks it's ok.

No. You could have used the term Christian Phone.

As a matter of fact, now that you know this is a derogatory term, the moral thing for you to do, if you are going to use a group of people to describe the phenomena, would be for you to now refer to this as the "Christian Phone".

Your beliefs are based on Christianity, so this is a very good test of exactly how moral Christian beliefs are.

My, my.

You got all that from my word preference?

What about "ignorant, bronze-age, goat herding nomads" to describe the Jews, that I've heard from your camp?

That's okay because it's accurate?

Here it is again:

In the game variously known as Chinese whispers, telephone, grapevine, broken telephone, whisper down the lane, gossip, secret message, Le téléphone arabe (French for "Arab phone"), Stille Post (German for "Silent Post"), Gioco del Telefono (Italian for "Telephone Game"), Telefono senza fili (Italian for "Cordless Phone"), Telefone sem fio (Portuguese for "Cordless Phone"), Głuchy telefon (Polish for "deaf telephone"), Telefonul fără fir (Romanian for "Cordless Phone"), Испорченный телефон (Russian for "damaged telephone") and pass the message, the first player whispers a phrase or sentence to the next player. Each player successively whispers what that player believes he or she heard to the next. The last player announces the statement to the entire group. Errors typically accumulate in the retellings, so the statement announced by the last player differs significantly, and often amusingly, from the one uttered by the first. Some players also deliberately alter what is being said in order to guarantee a changed message by the end of it. The game is often played by children as a party game or in the playground. It is often invoked as a metaphor for cumulative error, especially the inaccuracies as rumours or gossip spread, or, more generally, for the unreliability of human recollection.

Care to highlight in red where it says it is derogatory?

The link you gave me, had a link to Here:

"Today, the name "Chinese whispers" is said by some to be considered offensive.[3][4][5] Historians trace Westerners' use of the word Chinese to denote "confusion" and "incomprehensibility" to the earliest contacts between Europeans and Chinese people in the 1600s, and attribute it to Europeans' inability to understand and appreciate China's radically different culture and worldview.[6] Using the phrase "Chinese whispers" suggested a belief that the Chinese language itself is not understandable.[7]

As I said in another thread, if you have to refer to a group when using this term, why not call it the "Christian Phone" from now on?

It is the moral thing to do, and with you being Christian, this is a good test of Christian morality.

 

[AV1611VET]

"Today, the name "Chinese whispers" is said by some to be considered offensive.

I take it "by some" refers to you?

Okay with you if I don't think it's offensive?

I'll tell you what, Think For ... um ... Yourself,

The next time someone calls the Jews "ignorant, Bronze Age, goat-herding, nomads," and I see you chime in with your ... um ... genuine indignation, I'll consider changing "Arab phone" to "Chinese whispers."

Fair enough?

In the meantime, I'll just go have me some freedom fries; how's that?

Tu quoque.

Um, we are talking about your morality, in other words Christian morality (you being such a bible adhering Christian).

Like I said, this is a good test of Christian morality. I'm curious to see what happens.

Why is it then I feel more like Rosa Parks around here than you?

With respect to your bereavement: no comment.

With respect to your bereavement: no comment.

OK.

Just so you know where I'm coming from, my family is/was Christian (Baptist), but I became an atheist when I was about 11 or 12. That didn't work out well, and I was no longer part of the family. I was kicked out of the house when I turned 17. I still saw my mother sometimes in more recent times, although that was when she was visiting her grandchildren (my kids), I don't recall her ever coming to see me. I virtually never see my father or brother, last time was at my mother's funeral. Real Christian values eh, making a 12 year old no longer part of the family?

As to why I became an atheist, I was told God was all-loving, moral, all-knowing, and the rest of it. Yet God committed and condoned immoral acts, and threatened me with eternal torture for not licking his boots. I realized that I had to either believe in and fear a God that was a completely insecure genocidal monster, or not believe in god at all. The choice was easy, not believe in God at all. My family's behaviour reinforced this belief.

After my mother's death, I was curious if there were answers to those contradictions and some sort of proof that god exists.

So far no one here has provided any. I'm not giving up yet though.

I, for one no longer care what atheists and ungodly men think is OK. If they do not like something, I take that as a sign it may be good.
