  • Anything seven degrees or less from something that is or ever was racist is racist.

    (And anything obviously racist, if by a Left-wing racial minority, is not racist.)

    Societal taboos are no good for things like curbing teen pregnancy, you see, but they're very apropos for things like hassling 11-year-olds.

  • Hey, if Eminem can get pulled off the shelves, and you can't say fuck on the TV...like whatever.

      I'll remember that next time I want to support one of those issues.

      You know we can't mock the president, so screw it, I want "fuck" and rappers banded from pulic air waves.

      Your enlightenment has guided me down a new and refreshing path.

Didn't want to see a bunch of lawyers involved etc. I would wager that what was being discussed in the office. Nothing to do with Obama. It's about hypersensitivity to litigation in general. Kinda like hypersensitivity to all things "Obama". The "people" have "convicted" him of everything under the sun with a lot less evidence than they have on the previous guy.
