Why does freedom automatically mean we can't have anything that offends us?
 
Well?

I'm all for equality but why is it that if someone doesn't agree with a lifestyle or choice, they're the *******s for having exercised [i]that[/i] freedom? I’m tired of it. And why on earth do people insist on breaking stupid barriers? [url]http://greensickle.com/2007/04/some_rights_just_arent_right.html[/url] I think it's ****ing disgusting that some ugly dyke wants to be the prom king just as I think a fat cheerleader or two men playing catcher is appalling. What the hell is happening with todays society?

I don't know what to think of this.

I don't see the point of a girl being crowned king?
Yes, she thinks like a guy, looks like a guy, etc., but she is still a [i]she[/i].

Maybe she's an attention gigolo?

Salty 04-22-2007 08:13 PM

I only used that an an example. I could be talking about anything that applies

FW Motorsports 04-23-2007 08:00 AM

OK then.

Let's point all of the contradictions of what I call the "Liberal Socialists".

I'll start:

1. Freedom of Speech only applies to Leftists "enlightened" speech. All others are "offensive".

2. The gov't is both to be despised & embraced. Only the gov't should have guns, but the gov't needs to stay the **** away from my uterus.

3. Whille America is the root of all wordly evil, America needs to stop incidents like Darfur from happening.

On a some what similar note, what do you all think of letting 'learning disabled' kids into college and allowing them extra time for tests, separate rooms, etc...


I have to allow an undergrad twice the normal time for a test because he's learning disabled. What is he doing at college then? I mean...people with one leg aren't allowed to run in the olympics with a head start...they have to either be as fast as a normal runner or go to the special olympics. So if you can't think as fast as others, then proove you're capable by taking the same test in the same conditions as others or go to a 'special' school, right?

Being a disabled vet, this hits home for me.
When I was CSUS, I asked for printed notes & more time during testing.
When I take notes at a "normal" pace, I can't read my own handwriting and when doing tests, I needed just a few more minutes so I could write legibly.

I was denied.

Yet when the "hispanic" students of MechA needed **** [i]translated[/i], the school was johnie-on-the-spot.

How the hell does someone need things translated in college testing? If you can't understand whats in front of you at this English speaking school how the hell did he/she/it(don't want to hurt any one feelings) get in there?

That sucks too, I think an even hand for everyone is the only policy.

I love this one. At Umass we recently had Andy Card come and give a speech...which was obviously demonstrated at by ultra-liberals, there were a bunch of signs. The ones that struck me the most were three that were side by side:

Get Out of Iraq
Bloody Imperialist
Save Darfur

honestly......do pinkos understand irony/hipocrisy?

people dont know how to think for themselves so they jump on a bandwagon and hang on until the next "cool" thing comes by.

I'm not sure if they understand it, but many of them can spell it...
