I’ve heard it explained that “hey” used to be more of an urgent way to get someone’s attention, rather than a casual “hello” like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.

    You understand that “philistines” is a reference to Palestinians, right?

    You could do with a bit more education in my opinion.

      It’s a reference to ancient civilization that resides in the same area that the Palestines do now yes.

      Why does that matter?

      It a legitimate English word, what’s the concern with using it?

      Edit, for the dickwad below

      Since the Philistines were completely destroyed during the sixth to fourth centuries BCE, it is clear that no modern nation comes from them, including the Palestinians. So where did the Palestinians come from?

        It matters in the context of the world we’re currently living in that this is the insult you’ve chosen.

        It makes you look like a bad person.

          It’s an ancient civilization that has nothing to do with the current one that occupy the same area.

          There’s nothing to be offended about, you’re making connections that aren’t even there. You’re getting offended for someone else over nothing. That makes you a bad person, even if I am as well.

            Hey dick, I didn’t say you are a bad person.

            I simply explained to you that your choice of words makes you seem like a bad person.

            You really didn’t need to reply again with evidence to support the conclusion that you likely are.

              Saying it makes you look like for intents and purposes is saying that.

              And sure, I am a dick for pointing out your lack of historical understanding. How does a civilization that didn’t exist for centuries have anything to do with the Palestine’s…? Please explain the connections of me being “insulting”…?

              Because I think you just googled they occupy the same area and thought they were the same civilization that’s always been there. If that was the case, yes it would be insulting in todays world.

                Oh fuck off already, kid.

                You didn’t point out shit except your own ignorance.

                Why the hell would I waste my time “googling” something to fuck with someone I’d never interacted with before?

                You think way too much of yourself if you think you’re worth all that.

                  See so you don’t know that they have nothing to do with each other, yet you still said I offended them. Your ignorance makes you a bigger ass.

                  How does that make any sense lmfao

                  I’ll take my downvotes, but you’re white knighting up the wrong fucking tree hahah.

                  It’s not a reference since they are not related historically to each other you uneducated mook. I’m ignorant since I know this…? That’s hilarious.

                    They are absolutely related and have plenty “to do with each other”.

                    You’re just uneducated and digging your heels in to protect your position because you know you’re an ass.

                    Hence your resorting to name calling so quickly.

                    I said your choice of words made you “look like a bad person” so you just had to prove that you are by calling me one and then calling me an ass after I pointed out that you were being a dick by calling me a bad person.

                    It’s cool if you can’t keep up… Just go back to school as I suggested and you can obtain more education.
