today is bullshit news day

i open the paper today and get nothing but retarded crap.

check this out

http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/article/724659--how-a-halloween-getup-went-badly-wrong?bn=1

a 4 white guys and 1 trini guy dress up as the Jamaican bobsled team as depicted in Cool Runnings, only reversing the races by use of makeup.

This causes a reaction from the black student association at one of our universities here, requesting "an apology"..

i want to meet these people and ask them to their face if they seriously feel "offended", i just think they want to stir the pot and play the race card because nothing worthwhile has happened as of late thats race related.

then you have this blurb..

"Halloween is exuberantly tasteless, which usually slides until there's an accusation of racism. Target, Walgreen and eBay pulled an "illegal alien" costume from the shelves this year, after an immigrants' rights group objected to the alien mask attached to a bright orange prisoner's jumpsuit. The blog Angry Asian Man does an annual roundup of offensive gear, such as an exaggerated rubber face mask dubbed Fee Ling You."

Pat, politically correct is when you refer to a neighborhood that is 90% black with low incomes as a "low income neighborhood" rather than a "poverty neighborhood" or even "a black neighborhood"

what they did in the article is just stupid.

Along the line of the same reason the "Muslim" whacko Major didn't get drummed out of the US Army. They were afraid of being accused of a racist act and left him in. The rest is history.

He said that he felt the US had declared war on Muslims. So what if the US has. Seems to the that the Muslim world has declared war on the West and the US in particular.

If this offends anyone, I am truly sor.......... Actually, I couldn't care less if it offends anyone.

And why should anyone care about what you care less about? Vicious cycle.

Unfortunately, nowaday, there will aways be a Special Interest Group that will find something offensive in everything you say or do. It will come to a point where it will be an insult to say "hello" to somebody.

The fact the he took the lives of 13 of his fellow soldiers, and wounded many more, is mostly what I'm pissed about.

That he is both a muslim and a whacko tells the rest of the story.
