STOP frickING APOLOGIZING FOR EVERYTHING!


Someone is always going to be "offended"


Just tell them to frick off and stop wringing their purse.

The bigger question is why are you offended of a mugshot. Is there a reason behind it? Does it inspire inner relfection?

Look at every commercial with thieves. They are all white


My black actor friend has a lawsuit against a commercial casting agency. He has applied for the part of "thief" or "burglar" over 100 times, and they always hire a white boy with a scruffy beard and knit cap instead.

Man my heart breaks for these kids. I don't even know where to start.

Inner-city Baltimore library praises children for reading and tries to encourage other students to read as well.

Instead of praise for the library, the library is declared an offensive racist institution and told to apologize?

How will we ever improve the lives and communities of these kids?

Interesting times we live in. I often wonder what will happen first, either these unhinged fringe groups will be put in their place and a change for the better will occur or they'll succeed in tearing this country apart.

On the one hand, I see something like this and think, "Jesus Christ people are too sensitive."

On the other hand, I see something like this and think, "Jesus Christ how did no one at this library see this coming?"

So I guess I'm torn.
