    The old man finds the term "TACO" for Tacoma's demeaning. J/W what everyone thinks about it. Yay or nay?:confused:

    This may be a dumb post...like they say curiosity killed the cat.

    Does pop say WHY it is demeaning?

    I personally couldn't care less who is offended by what. Everyone in our society is a victim anymore, always offended by something. Too bad, so sad.

    i know what he means by it, and i was just stating my opnion, i used to think it was gay, like it sounded like a little kid thing, time progressed and it grew on me to the point where i'm repping it now, i don't see how you got the idea that i thought he was offended by it..
