I'm amused by all these posts especially the first one. Does that make me a racist??

Also...the picture is not too clear, but exactly how many "Go to Jail" squares are there??

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! A tooth! *snirt* Work in a hospital where people from all across KY, including eastern KY, come to be treated and you'll appreciate that one.

What does your comment mean about the Catholic Church GalvestonDuck? You put it under Horroropoly? Do not get your drift there or do I?

GalvestonDuck · #27 Postby **GalvestonDuck** » Fri Oct 10, 2003 2:11 pm

Linda, I was referring to horror movies which take place in or near a Catholic church or involve Catholicism, like The Exorcist, The Omen, End Of Days, Stigmata, The Order...all which seems to use priests as either villains or heroes, in some supernatural way.

Oh I see... thanks for the explanation.

Hey this lifestyle is glorified on TV and at the local mall clothing stores. A game was the next step in the constant struggle for the almighty buck.

Couldn't agree more. What the heck are they complaining about? Have you ever heard a Rap song that doesn't glorify drug use, assault, and female degradation? "They" embrace it with open arms, and I would even argue that this will be one of the big hits at all the upcoming weekend gang bang parties.

I am sure the decent human beings are the ones complaining.... :roll:

Not every negro..is a gangbanger :? :? :? ..BTW yes I have heard plenty of rap songs w/o these things..listen to Ice-T :wink:

Well you are wrong about Ice-T, Rainband. Ice-T wrote a rap song about killing cops. So he is not a great example.

I don't listen to rap..so I apologise. :roll:

he wasn't the one I was thinking of.. Anyway there are rappers that don't glorify these things..there is good in everything..if you look for it.

Lindaloo · #34 Postby **Lindaloo** » Fri Oct 10, 2003 7:11 pm

That is true Rainband, there IS good in everything. Ice-T is a bad boy to the rap scene. As far as the ghetto monopoly thing goes... I feel it is up to the minority themselves to decide if it is stereotyping or the black leaders are once again making something out of nothing. IMO, it is those leaders that keep racism alive today.

Eric, that's a great one.

You could build storm shelters on your property instead of hotels. When you pass GO you collect the insurance money for that broken windshield!!!

Game pieces include a DOW (Doppler On Wheels), chase van, umbrella, camcorder, cloud, tornado and lightning bolt.

You can head out to the countryside and for ie: land on a "Hailstone Cracks Windshield" square...then advance 4 more squares to "Talk to Insurance Adjuster".

Properties include Cumulus Cafe, Derecho Deli, Isobar Inn and Altitude Arcade.

Players draw from cards like "Listen to that Roar!" and "Frogstrangler!"

Eric

Excellent, Eric.

From what I heard on the local news today, the creator of the "Ghettopoly" board game is being sued by Hasboro.
