  2. QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 05:22 PM) :lolhitting Not sure why I ever unblocked you. Oh well, live and learn.
  3. QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 05:25 PM) These are all very bad. I'm taking suggestions
  4. QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 05:07 PM) We agree. Just like it's not fair that all kids can't eat peanut butter because one kid is allergic to it. Maybe that kid should cry me a river, too. I'm not ignoring the "fact that policial correctness includes more than race", if you read the post you replied too, you'd see I actually wrote exactly that... I know you wrote that, but we were talking about being PC. In no world was Carlin PC. We have censors because of the man. And the peanut butter thing is still f***ing stupid.

  7. QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 04:55 PM) Um...no. Carlin wasn't racially incorrect, and theres a difference...so no, the comedian argument doesn't suck. Political correctness isn't just one aspect of being "correct", it's many. Being racially insensitive is part of that...and that's a HUGE part of the political correctness spectrum that other races can ignore. But go ahead and ignore that fact if it makes you feel better about yourself. Yeah, but he was religiously incorrect. And I said he was politically incorrect. He was. We are talking about being politically correct. You said it's many aspects. Other than race, he was politically incorrect in every way imaginable. And I know that other races can ignore it. Is it fair? No. Cry me a river. But go ahead and ignore the fact that political correctness includes more then race, for example the topic that started this thread, if it makes you feel better about yourself.
  8. QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 04:42 PM) Right, I forgot that you are an expert in the field of political correctness. Nevermind the fact that I'm in a journalism class that's entire purpose is understanding cultures and how to be politically correct. Nope, you're the expert. No discrimination goes on anymore in the US. Political Correctness can go away, because it's not needed. I guess we can all call Obama the n-word now. I wasn't saying it's just white people who can be politically incorrect either. I know non-white commentators cross that line. Oh, and if anyone mentions comedians, you're argument sucks. Carlin was as politically incorrect as they come.
  9. QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 01:51 PM) I'm not saying special ed kids suing. Just a regular kid so hurt by getting cut that he doesn't want to go to school anymore. I can picture the parent: "Why can't my son be on the team? He is willing to go to practices and games just like the kids who are on the team? Let my son on the team dammit or we are suing you!!! My son is emotionally distressed over this." What. Tryouts. Can't be hurt by them because they're tryouts. There's literally no way that case would win.
  10. 1. Banning peanut butter is f***ing stupid. That's the kid/parent's responsibility. 2. Anyone that thinks sports would be banned is delusional. THERE ARE f***ING TRYOUTS FOR A REASON. TO CUT PEOPLE. A player can't argue with getting cut if they are physically/mentally unable to perform the tasks. Otherwise get rid of school altogether, because there are things like special ed. and honors classes. Stop trying to dramatize the point and creating a clear agenda.
  11. QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 03:10 AM) Why move past father-daughter dances in society though? What's wrong with a grade school dad-daughter dance? I guess if there are so many divorces a little girl could be devastated, but again, if the kid has one parent I would think the mom could take the kid and other dads could dance with the little kid. I don't think my sports scenario is out of the question. At least I could see a kid sue if he/she got cut from the varsity team. Hey it makes the kid feel bad cause he/she got excluded/cut. I got cut from the baseball team at Brother Rice and was very sad. My parents didn't even console me. Too bad. Suck it up and move on. I didn't say we should, just thought we did. Kinda like debutante balls. Do those still exist? And dude, the sports scenario is so out of the question. Sports gain schools publicity, money, etc. And cuts exist, hence tryouts. You can't "tryout" for a father-daughter dance.

  14. I will continue not eating there. Because I never really have. I think I had it once. It was ok. If I come across one, sure, I'll go but seriously, there aren't really any CFAs for me to get my chick-fix on at. So, you know, um, good for them.

  16. QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 02:41 AM) Because of an ACLU complaint, a school district in New York or somewhere banned Father-Daughter dances saying they are discriminatory against a little girl who has no dad to take her. Couldn't the mom just take her or an uncle or a neighbor or a grandpa or again, have the mom take her? I just think s*** like this is ruining the country. Political correctness out of control. What is next? Ban all sports in school because one kid has a defect and can't compete and it makes him feel bad to see the other kids play? Do you agree our society is ruined because of PC stuff like this? I would think a lot of little girls will forever remember their dad/daughter dances in school. Not anymore? They discriminate!!!! What do u think? Here's an article Greg. It's in Rhode Island. The article is extremely biased, but I kind of see both sides of the coin. On one hand, it is a nice thing to do, but I honestly don't remember the last father-daughter dance I've seen/heard of. Maybe because I went to a school district where lots of kids didn't have both parents, so something like this would have been seen as extremely exclusionary. I do think this is over the top though. If a school wants to have such a dance, let it happen, but let the girls know they can have someone else take them. Now, to your post, slow down my friend. Political correctness isn't exactly an evil thing, society is getting ruined by a hundred and one things before political correctness. You have to remember why it's there; not everyone is a white, Anglo-Saxon, protestant male. There is a lot of discrimination out there still and political correctness is all that stops some people from trying to offend everyone. And don't be stupid, they wouldn't get rid of sports. The ACLU would have a snowballs chance in hell of doing that. But yeah...I honestly thought we already moved past father-daughter dances in society. Didn't know they were still around.
  17. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 18, 2012 -> 03:41 PM) Just weakness leaving your body bro, keep at it. Stretch a TON, roll if you have a foam roller and stretch some more. it was a Futurama quote. I'm seriously considering a foam roller. I NEED my calves to stop tightening up so much.

  20. f***. I always forget I can't get Sox games when they play the Royals.
  21. QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Sep 19, 2012 -> 01:23 AM) We will destroy Cy Chen & Guthrie this time around. Their time has come.
  22. QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 18, 2012 -> 05:10 PM) Yup, you wanna be #3 seed, face the Yankees at home IMHO. I'd rather take the Rangers. Sox have had their number this year, partially because Washington angered AJ.
