My grandparents are originally from India so I could be considered part of an 'ethnic minority'. I absolutely detest racist morons, but I also despair at how ridiculous this society has become.
Does anyone else her, minority or otherwise, get extremely annoyed at amount of pointless 'political correctness' (I hate that stupid phrase) that goes on? I don't mean genuine, important problems that need addressing - I mean stupid things, like not putting up 'Happy Christmas' banners. Why the hell don't we just add other banners with different celebrations to reflect our multicultural society, instead of needlessly banning something that is totally inoffensive?
The idea that flying the Union Jack makes you a racist is imply ludicrous, to me. It is also dangerous, as such trite complaints make a mockery out of the very serious issues central to wiping out REAL, vile racism.
Where does this nonsense end? Anyone with me on this?

This TV series was being shown in the early 70's in Nigeria in those days. It is either an American or British film I was still very small in those days. Memory of the serial still come to me. The lead actor is a criminal who runs from the law , hopping from bus to bus.

This guy lives in Westchester, NY and goes to school at Ithaca College. For two years, he has wanted to ask a certain girl (who is also from Westchester and also goes to Ithaca) out on a date, but has never had the courage.
Finally, one day over the summer, he sees her at home and musters up the courage to ask her out. She accepts, and they make dinner plans for Saturday night.
Friday night, this guy goes out with all of his buddies, and drinks like Prohibition is coming back. Saturday, he is in such bad shape that he can't make it through twenty minutes without either puking or shitting. After several hours of this, he is able to stop puking, but he is still running to the toilet every 20 minutes to ****. He doesn't want to cancel the date, because he's afraid he won't ever talk to her again. So they meet in Westchester, and take the train to New York City (about a 30 minute ride).
They get to the restaurant, and he excuses himself during the appetizers to use the bathroom. They enjoy the rest of the appetizers without interruption, but he has to go back again during the entrees.
They decide to get dessert. During dessert, our hero feels another rumbling, but doesn't want to look like a complete bathroom freak, so he holds it. After a few minutes, the rumbling subsides, but he still has a bit of gas stored up. He decides to let this little bit of gas fly right there at the table (discreetly, of course). Unfortunately, this little bit of gas came with another little surprise. "Oh ****," he thinks (and feels).
Instead of running to the bathroom right away, our hero immediately leans on the arms of his chair to keep from sitting on this surprise. He maintains this yoga position for the rest of dessert, trying to figure out what to do before his tan pants (a) start to smell, or (b) start to show stains on the outside. He quickly pays for dinner and they leave the restaurant. Oh, by the way, he is walking like a cowboy. On the way to the train station, they pass The Gap.
"Do you mind if I run in and buy a sweater that I was looking at last week?" he asks.
"No problem, I'd like to look around too," she replies.
They fall into The Gap. Fortunately, at The Gap, men's fashions are on the right, women's fashions are on the left. They split up. Our hero grabs the first sweater within reach, and hurries back to the khakis.
After selecting a pair that most closely resemble his current outfit, he brings both items to the register. His eyes are on his date(still on the other side of the store) to make sure that she doesn't see him buying the pants. He doesn't even want the sweater, so he says through clenched teeth (just in case his date can read lips from 40 feet away) "Just the pants."
"What?" asks the Gap girl.
"Just the pants!" (Eyes still trained on his date.)
Gap girl: "Oh, OK."
He pays for the pants and walks over to his date, then they leave the store. They board the train just before it leaves the station and find two seats in the middle of the car.
Without sitting down, our hero excuses himself and walks to the bathroom in the back of the car. He gets to the bathroom as the train departs, and quickly rips off his pants and boxer shorts. He rolls them into a ball and throws them out the window. After cleaning himself off, he opens the Gap bag and pulls out...just the sweater.
****PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD DO IN THIS SITUATION.****
As you must have realized, the only solution is to wear the sweater as pants. So he squeezes his legs into the arms of the sweater and pulls the rest of the fabric tight around his waist. He can only keep himself covered by hunching over. Walking will be a new challenge altogether. Rather than going through the absolute trauma of returning to his seat and explaining (or creating an elaborate lie to explain) the entire incident, our hero waits in the bathroom until the train stops at the next station. He waits until the moment the train starts to pull away from the station, then dashes out of the bathroom (as quickly as a hunched over cowboy with sweater pants can dash) and jumps off the train. He is lost and stranded somewhere between New York City and Westchester.
He hasn't seen the girl since.

18. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add onto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.
19. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Yet, I have counted more than one hundred places where words were added or taken away in various publications of the New Testament. There are no plagues spoken of in history where the above words were accounted as the reason. I hear no words from Shouters that have said "God has taken away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city because of changes made in the text of the revelations.

acid reflux, I also have asthma that is affected by the fact that I have the disease Fibromyalga. Everyday I take 10 different prescriptions usually 2-3 a day. They shoot Steoroids in my hip and back and now I am on oral steroids. Needless to say I look like the staypuff marshmellow man. I have ballooned up 80 pounds since all this started and I am very upset about it. My question is. Why is it worth it? I have no quality of life at all. I am turning 35 tomorrow and have to little boys age 8 and 11 and my 8 year old tells me daily he knows I am fat but it'll be okay. Somebody help, because my future ex husband says suck it up.

"They could have said, `Ah, forget it. We hear those things in music, on radio, on cable. We won't dignify it with a response,"' Clinton said. "It would have been a perfectly justifiable reaction. But when do we say, `Enough?' This moment is that opportunity."
Shortly after the Rutgers event, Clinton was to head to New York City to speak at a convention of the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network.
Yep, Hill and Al will say "enough" over one stupid comment made on a radio show no one listens to, but let's overlook the rap industry.
