1. Please write "they couldn't care less" instead of "could careless." The word careless has a completely different meaning than what you think it does, and the proper phrase is "couldn't care less."

2. You wrote, "Lucky someone didn't pop a cap in one of them."

What's a cap? Is that the top of a water bottle? Is it a hat?

Or is it urban slang for bullet?

Revise your response to a more mature entry, please.

Never fails, there is always someone who likes to play internet cop. Oh well, guess everyone has a niche to fill in life.

So many comments on this site have poor Grammar, yet you decide to correct this person's. Why? Because you don't like what he or she wrote. I will guarantee that you don't do that for other people with whom you agree. You speak about about maturity? Then why don't you address that person's actual point, which is where your real problem is, instead of their typos?

"Urban slang?" Is that country club for "black talk?" Everyone knows what you meant by that, so there's no need to be subtle about your prejudices.

Okay, you guys are right about the grammar policing. I'll try not to do that. Looking back it does seem arrogant to tell someone he used a word incorrectly. I apologize for that (the couldn't care less/could careless statement). Again, sorry. I was just pointing it out because people always say, "I could care less." This means they care about the issue.

Saying, "I couldn't care less" means that you are at the lowest possible level of caring about a particular issue. Arrogant? Maybe, but each of us gets bugged by something other people say.

Other things that bug me: "Give it up for...." when they should say, "Please welcome...." or "I'm fixin' to git goin'" when they might as well say, "I am getting ready to leave."

It's really no big deal.

I don't apologize for pointing out that urban slang should be avoided during conversations about our suburban town. Likewise, if his language was RURAL slang I would have said something, especially when speaking so casually about a violent act.

The real reason I have a problem with "bust a cap in him" or whatever it was is the following:

1. It is slang that is directly associated with gangs (regardless of race).

2. It describes violence against children (teenagers are children).

3. It shows lack of respect for others.

I have absolutely no idea what race the person is who posted that "pop a cap" statement and don't care. Yes, it IS urban slang which is why I called it urban slang. And last I looked, urban areas had white people too, along with many other cultures.

Your assumption about my views reminds me of the film City Slickers in which an African American man and his adult son meet Billy Crystal's character at a dude ranch. Crystal's character asks, "So, what do you guys do?"

The older gentleman says, "We're dentists."

Crystal says, "Wow, your both dentists?"

Then the young son says, "Yes, we're both black and we're both dentists. Let's not make a problem out of it!"

At that point the older black man looks at his son and says, "YOU'RE the one making a problem out of it."

Eminem uses foul urban language in his music, and I find it offensive. So, explain that, friend.

You sir, have the wrong idea. You assumed I'm prejudiced. That might mean you're prejudiced.....might.

Says the sign on the gate, at my house.. It pretty much explains itself... But for all those lames out there... I could care less who you are.. If you are trespassing, on my property,and destroying it at the same time...Technically I do not even have to say a word to ya, especially at 2AM. Age makes no difference to me. These kids today will wet each other over $5.00, and sit around and laugh at ya while ya twitch around on the ground... In other words you come to steal my stuff, or damage my property.. I be bust a cap in yo dome.. Then call the Sheriff and tell him to come get the sh-- off my lawn. Nothing says respect like a 454. They got off lucky this time and should count their blessings.. The lord looks after fools and idiots...PEACE..

First off, the phrase " Pop a cap " is now part of the American Lexicon. The phrase, slogan, whatever is now used by all races, and has little to do with " Urban Slang " anymore. It might have been created in lower income areas, but like most things has slowly been intergrated into most areas of our society.

Furthermore, it was never used to promote violence against children on my part. Given we didn't see tha age of the vandals, who is to say everyone one of them were " Minors ". In my opinion, the individuals were lucky no one took any sort of action against them. Rest assured there are many, myself included that would have been in someones face with my weapon in hand after hearing the noise at time of the morning..As for my use of the phrae showing lack of resepct for others, thts a bold leap. Very bold given you have no personal knowledge of my past or how I feel about others directly. If you did know me,you would be aware that I did work for a peroid in time in Law Enoforcement. So that shoots down the whole " Lack of respect for others " comment to the trash can.

I could argue all day about your fellings, but it boils down to the simple fact no matter what someone post, if its so offensive then move on and save us the lectures As for myself, this issue is closed and i'm moving on to other matters.

aka to pre judge. I see that Marta Rider is fighting the perceived bias fight. Not everyone talks like "the street" or uses slang, regardless of whether you call it urban, or others call it hick, whatever. Feel free to fight the fight, but recognize that these people here are not the enemy. The last time I checked the stats, a young black male is far more likely to have his life ended by another young black male, than by any other person or demographic. fight that fight please.

Totally in agreement with you on this one!

Maybe the write does not listen to violence encouraging Rap music. Some people do not use the phrase "To put a cap in someone's ..." That does not automatically make them prejudiced.

Now, identifying oneself with a picture with two people giving the black power salute... that I would call race baiting.

How would you respond if someone had a picture showing a Hitler salute, or a few KKK boys in uniform?

Making a decision before having the facts makes you PRE-JUDICED.

Be that black people talk, aka "urban slang", for the state of fruit before introduction into a Jack La Lane juicer?

Puuullllllleeeeesshhhhhh change that picture, I don't like that at all. You might be one heck of a fellow, but please.

So glad you changed that picture, thanks!
