Wow, that's having a lot of faith. I think you should be rewarded for it. Tell you what, if Rossi actually wins the first round, I'll get you a 1.- euro present. Maybe some of the other Powersliders want to chip in?

The term Mongoloid (also Mongolic] is a word used to describe people of East Asian and North Asian origin. Its use originated from a variation of the word Mongol, a people who are considered one of its main proto-populations.



Today, the term is regarded by some as potentially offensive



Its a slang, offensive term for people born with Downs Syndrome.

Welcome to the forum jono.



I predict Nicky Hayden will be using his pole on some imported umbrella girl.

Nice one mate!!!



Going on Stoner's form at this track i guess he's got to be the favourite. Will he get the RC211V to work at Qatar?

Hi jon



Tough call mate but I'd have to say:



Stoner



Or



Pedrosa



How wrong could we be tho' ?



It's going to be an absolute corker . I can't wait !

I thought everyone knew the term Mongoloid?

Obviously Barry Doesn't.

I vote pole for Stoner, with a rolling run I doubt anyone will catch him for pole. As for the start of the race, Pedro will probably get the hole shot (guy is just way to quick off the start). With the pressure on him though, I say Pedrosa either bins it, or runs off the track by entering a turn way too hot, with Stoner on his heels. Race defaults to Stoner/Lorenzo/everyone else merry-go-round...

Are you serious?





why do you think I took offense at Jum.



Hence why I felt he is fair game for using such slurs ......... it causes absolutely no harm to me , however it may be read by those it does offend or cause discomfort to, and in this case those innocents were innocent from birth hence cop the slur due to absolutely no fault of their own.. Its a no go zone for me hence my reply on his own downfalls and the slant it had to take.



Its a shame to think that folk out there that would use such a term in a derogatory manner.







PS theres more to it than just Downs Povol. Hence more innocent folk it could offend



Also ...... I am also beginning to think not everyone new the alternate meaning of the word ( the more PC meaning ), as I used it ..... hence your surprise?

Also a DEVO song (Mongoloid).



Stoner gets pole, Dani gets the holeshot, Stoner gets clear, Jorge and Dani fight for second harassed by a group of Honda's and Spies.



Valentino rides the best race he can on the Poocati and takes 6th with Hayden on his tail.

Hang on a minute. I said I thought everyone knew the term, I certainly never said I use it.

I re read your post & I'm darned if I can find where you took offence at him. You just corrected his word.(mongoloid) to (mongolian)

Anyway bugger it I can't be ......, hurry up Qatar.

......... how do I say it? do I have to try and spell it out? ......... ruins the intent really





it was a play on words, a intentionally steered version of a double entendre, using the more PC meaning of "the word", and steering the slur Jum had made toward a racial slur at he himself instead.



as bad as a racial slur may be ....... it is less personally offensive to "some" than the other meaning of the word.









It is past needing a dictionary Kesh ..... but my kids get this stuff







read it again and try and get it





"need a dictionary" ......... now I've heard it all







though it must be said ........ "epic fail" on my part for misreading the readers, it would seem





Edit: Damn you Kesh!! I just re-read my piece at Jumkie, its great!! still gave me a good giggle!! get it damn you ! get it !!!

Well I thinks its funny not as overtly witty as the original quip, but miles more value

Why don't you go and pat yourself on the back Barry. Clearly everyone else must be outclassed in the presence of your wit.

I'm not Stoner Bopper but I have to say him too, he's been the quicket thing at Quatar, no matter what bike, since 2006



2006 - Pole

2007 - Pole/Win

2008 - Pole/Win

2009 - Pole/Win

2010 - Pole/Crashed while leading

First, to answer your question, Stoner



Second, there's no such thing as a "Stoner Bopper".....the use of the term "Bopper" is strictly limited to the Rossi fanatics although I believe the Stoner faithful now have a name of their own, or at the very least, one is being crafted.

To be totally honest, i have no idea what anyone in here is talking about. I was amused at the comment you made about Nicky and Jumkie, that raised a chuckle.
