You act like it's impossible to hate your own ethnicity. Racist is racist, regardless of punching up, down, left, right, or yourself in the crotch.

Anyway, contrary to the Republic of Mah Feelz, butthurt isn't legal grounds (for any value of 'Not Sweden'), so unless it's an actual death threat, this is pointless pandering.

Well, no, Airstrip One has fun views of terrorism, so people tweeting about a party being a blast might get swept up too.

Excepting the ability to make a webpage saying something, and then have another person ('web journalist') quote it, and suddenly your original research, without any proof or review, is now credible fact. Do it a few more times and it's irrefutable and you don't even need words like 'alleged' anymore. A reinforcing circle jerk of obfuscation.

You're mocking, fine, but you do somewhat have a point: home ec courses, parenting courses etc. Female dominated and the odd male that takes it gets the 'why aren't you taking ____ instead'. At least in HS level. Think cooking and such it event out at the college level.

Put an end to the malnutrition and suffering of the takeout/ramen-eating uni kids! Male-only home ec courses!

But it's not Innocent until Proven Guilty anymore. It's not even Guilty until Proven Innocent.

Current climate is: Guilty until we can no longer libel you as guilty, but 'it probably could have happened anyway'. Just check out the turn-around the media and people did after that fraternity thing.

Doesn't even need to be blind, a degree of vision loss can suffice for relying on audio cues as assistent.

It's also extremely helpful for that moment between "I looked left, I looked right, but when I took a step, some guy turned the corner without looking... but the noise made me pause and look left again". The noise also helps detect the idling car versus the parked car... for when they shoot out without bothering to look, you at least had them assessed as a potential threat before time.
