<div class="IPBDescription">i need mature people to answer this "?"</div> saddam hussein has rejected president bush's ultimatum, so today, I screamed "time to gun that arab sucker out of his country." i only assumed that the "arab" is referring to saddam hussein. but to you guys, do you think i should have said that?

    Umm... he's an Arab. So it's okay to call him an Arab, even if you append 'sucker' to the end of it =P

    You are referring to Arab’s as one person (Saddam Hussein)
    And the statement would not be considered politically correct

    So officially no <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Then it wouldn't be "that american sucker" it would be "that yankee sucker" using the stereotype instead of the country name. Arab isn't a country.

    Yes, you're horribly horribly racist. You should be shot. This is the most asinine thread, ever.
