Americas headlong march into the abyss continues.

I guess I'll sit on my porch drinking, watching, smiling, munching pop corn until those in power outlaw my own ass from underneath me.

I think this is totally offensive towards the porchless, non-drinking, blind, unhappy people with no teeth! :know:

Excellent game plan.:DL

Political correctness: a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority,and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition, that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

i dont see how any of it would be a bad thing either - perhaps all those drivers will weed each other out

What a bunch of saps. How am I supposed to take my own country seriously if people in charge keep coming up with hare-brained ideas like this? :nope:

In my experience, the people who feel offended the most are usually the ones who don't belong to the group which they claim to "defend" - as if minorities can't speak for themselves and need some paternalistic guardian angels. :shifty:
Want to hear the best jokes about a certain group? Spend a night drinking with them!:DL

Yea, and what's worse they usually do it for their own personal gain, to look good around the other PC cops. My problem is my age, half the time I don't know how not to be incorrect. I sure hope I don't have to take a damn course.:haha:

Does the "Pizza is a vegetable" thing count as a reason to move country:hmmm::DL

NYC is now Jehovah Witness City :shifty:

I'll just stay here until craft/microbrew beer is outlawed for being too tasty. After that I guess it would be onward to Europe... and victory. :D:yeah:

What about donkeys...are they legal?
Can you refer to someone as donkey?

Task Force 03-30-12 02:06 PM

Have they banned stupid yet? Because If they have they better start packin they're bags...

According to the paper, the mandate is meant to curb fear that references to those topics might stir controversy among students. Dinosaurs, officials said, could bring up evolution, Halloween could suggest paganism, and birthdays might create animosity among students who are Jehovah's witnesses, since they don't celebrate them.
So, they banned all that, yea. But why dancing.

Maybe because some kids can't dance for one reason or another. Wouldn't want to hurt a kid's feelings and thereby disrupt their learning experience. :06:


In a way I'm glad I don't have kids, because they would be learning things more or less the way I was taught. That might make them too rough around the edges for some schools.

Task Force 03-30-12 06:17 PM

If people are that sensitive... yea... then there is something seriously wrong with this generation.

AngusJS 03-30-12 07:34 PM

It's a sad day when dinosaurs, the coolest animals ever, make kids uncomfortable.

Religious indoctrination and PC idiocy strike again.

Torplexed 03-30-12 07:46 PM

I fear for this generation of kids who are being shielded from any unpleasantness through their youth. Your world view and outlook need to be gradually exposed to a complicated world to learn coping skills, the same way your immune system needs to be exposed to germs in order to function properly. When these kids graduate and hit the job market it's gonna be like stripping Bubble Boy of his bubble and tossing him into a typhoid ward. Not pretty.
