yeah, i can agree with that i guess.... forgot about all that crap like mascots.
There was another one recently where a school was being sued because the mascotts name "Porkchop" was offensive even though the school mascott was a hog. some hispanic group said it was offensive.
people here are fucking retards. "freedom" means that ultimately things will settle with the lowest common denominator. that has a lot to do with why the public school system is so fucked. everything gets dumbed down so the lowest common denominator can feel good about themselves. some schools stop keeping score with sports... god forbid someone "loses" and has to live with the stigma of losing a game or get a taste of what its like in real life in the real world.
i think a lot of this crap comes from what is sort of a muttled or totally absent cultural identity. people recite so many cliches about freedom, "the american dream" etc because otherwise, they have no clue who they are. i think you don't have this so much in other countries that are older and have a rich and unique cultural history and identity. so its easy for people to constantly push and redefine ideas according to their own whims... wheras, in Sweden or Russia or almost anywhere else for example, it wouldn't happen to a such an extreme degree.
i wear this shirt all the time when i play racquetball - a lot of woman get really upset and bitch at me... thats when i shine.
