 i'm reminded of how real little kids think covering their eyes means no-one can see them. |

I wanna go back to the good old days.
You know, back when I call you a name and if it offends you... you tell me, yell at me or punch me. Then I learn not to say it to you.
If it happened with a variety of people, I'd learn not to say it at all.
Perhaps this way dealing with it is too simple to work anymore.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

So much easier to appease a few with stupid legislation. As Scotz indicated above, the word niggardly is hardly used any more because it sounds inappropiate. In fact, a reporter a few years ago was fired for using the word correctly. She was fired for using the word appropriately. The word means stingy or not generous, by the way.
How can someone be fired for using the right word even though it sounds offensive.
Are we going to not allow hitters to lay down a bunt?
What about a kick?
Or someone being fussy?
Or opening a lock?
Dumb, dumb, dumb.

I'm offended by that remark and wish to ban the use of the word "at".

Children in need of assistance or wishing to express their opinion (ie dissatisfaction) over a ruling must now address their parents as "Mother" and "Father" and the words must be spoken clearly, intelligibly and using an English accent.

My students luuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrv the "N" word. I told them this story as my current event and one kid screams, "they, they should ban the "C" word then too" and despite being very afraid of his answer asked him which "c" word, he sweetly replied "cracker" whew!

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: There's nothing wrong with censorship & mind control. Provided, of course, that they're *my* brands of censorship & mind control.
