Ok heres a little rant.

People get too offended too easily. It's really bullshit. People love to be the victim. It's absurd. And what's even more gear-grinding is how officials take steps just so they don't offend you!

Examples:
NBA team 'Washington Bullets' changed to the 'Washington Wizards' - you can imagine why.
The Redskins are being bullied about changing there name, because people are offended, doubtful that any of the offended people are even indians.

Theres so so so so so many more and its just fucking rediculous!!! absolutly, fucking rediculous.

It's the pussification of America, and its not good.

It's teaching people that someone gives a fuck about you, when really, your no different then the asshole down the street - full of shit.

Ughh, to the few sane people of America. What do we do? Is it too late? Is America doomed?

When did the Washington Redskins change anything?  They've been nothing but defiant about calls to change their logo and their name.

They got rid of our chief Illiniwek mascot.

despite a statement from the Illini tribe saying they were not offended, people are even offended for other people.

The Wizards sounds much better than the Bullets anyway.

I agree with the changing of the Redskins. That is pretty offensive. So is Mt. Rushmore. It is like a giant middle finger to the Sioux right in the middle of their home land.

If you want to change the pussification of America you must crush it at it's source: Evangelicals and FOX.
I know that comment was racist itself, but I feel it is the truth.

I agree though, there are way too many people and groups who are constantly bitching about something.

Atleast the N.J. Devils won't fold under the hippie priests who want them to change the name. Their name is after all based on a legend if I remember correctly. Not on mr 666 himself.

and another thing, how come, if a team called the blueskins offended the blueskinned people of America (imagine theres like, 10) yet the rest of america is fine with the name, why would it in any way be logical to inconvenience 300 million other people, just to save 10 from something they could easily just suck up.

Totally agree, It seems as if US has been that way a while now. Unfortunatly Oz is going that way too (blames US). Where men are blokes and women are sheila's, who would of thought? There not even letting primary schools celebrate christmas with Santa now incase there is 1 student of a different religion.

If you get offended just offend them back or take it like a man. But if you get all pissy about it then yes that's pathetic because you're acting like the whole world has to pander to your ego.

Actually, the team names that amaze me the most are the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and the Duke Blue Devils ... both of those schools were founded as Christian colleges (Baptist = Wake Forest, Methodists = Duke).

Mitch, I am offended by your avatar, I was once mugged at gunpoint by a zombie in a subway restaurant, and your avatar just brings back painful memories.

On a more serious note, you are absolutely right, people need to learn to shrug things off, you can't complain about everything.

Right, well I don't care about the feelings of Southerners, clergy, or MADD. Even though drunk driving is no joke.
Did Southerners and the clergy get anally fucked like the natives did? Maybe the southerners did a bit in the Civil War, but they brought that shit upon themselves. As for the clergy and the whole Church, well they can go blow a goat for all I care.

BTW I don't see Northerners getting their panties in a bunch over all of the Confederate flags flying in the South. In fact I find their rebellious spirit (although it may be backed in slavery and racism) righteous.

I don't think the Southern civilians did anything to deserve Sherman's method of war.

Hmm... A certain loonietune living next door to Hitrunxx comes to mind. That type of ppl don't have anything better to do than seek out "hideous" points of view that no one cares about until it's all over a tabloid front page or in the "news" on tv. Then something has to be done, afterall it's in the freeking news!!! Euthanasia should be performed on some ppl.

Alright I take that back, people do care about that. I just don't see people as up in arms about the flag as some Southerners are about other issues involving Christianity mostly. And I agree, the southern civilians didn't deserve to get their towns destroyed and all that, but what do you expect from war mongering America? I'm not necessarily taking sides here, It's just hard for me to sympathize with the South, what with me having a Northern education on the subject of the Civil War.
