I'm fucking sick and tired of these people who make the hateful generalizations, and then the people that bitchslap them for it.
For instance.
I live in the south.
Now, the generalization for black male teenagers around here is:
Overly muscular.
Dumb as shit.
Gangsta-wannabe.
Now, I'd smack the person who thought that up, IF IT WEREN'T for that a majority of those people ARE muscular dumb as shit gangsta-wannabes.
Now, another point of it. University of Alabama. Almost no black students, but lately they've been trying to change that by forcing the Rose Admin' to accept more black students.
Listen here dipshits! You tell us to look past skin color, we are. If my child gets straight A+s your child fails the 11th grade twice, should YOUR child get in over mine just because he/she's black?! WHERE'S THE GOD DAMN LOGIC IN THAT!? 
Oh, and these jackasses forcing the Christian part of society to accept every other f***ing religious event and custom there is, while STILL trying to make it illegal to have a PROPER F***ING EASTER PADGENT AT A SCHOOL. Now, This would bring me on to liberalist dumbf***s, but I think I'll put this rant to an end here.

Affirmative action is bullshit, but you're exaggerating.

They want you to be more TOLERANT of other religions. They don't hold special Kwanzaa, Ramadan, or Yom Kippur celebrations in school -- why should Christians get special treatment?

If the community all agreed, it would be fine to have an Easter play at school. However, no one is trying to say "Oh, we have to observe every religious holiday except Christian ones."
| Nodbugger |
We had Christmas plays at my school. But what does it tell you about other religions when they don't except the Christian holidays? Don't they have to be tolerant to?
|
Don't try to contort what I said. Obviously other religions need to be tolerant of Christianity too. However, since there is a Christian majority in this country, most of the intolerance comes from Christians.

Not true, I see more intolerance from Athiests.

You see more intolerance from Athiests because the media and the general public like to stereotype Athiests into intolerant, God-hating hippies desperately trying to prove religious people that there is no God.
As I mentioned previously in another thread long ago, I'm an Athiest. However, I don't go around telling people to stop praying, nor do I constantly whine and bitch because I see a baby Jesus in a manger at the mall. Contrary to the publics opinion, most Athiests simply don't care about political correctness, nor the banishment of religion. We simply don't care about other religions. You can go ahead and celebrate what you wish, because we won't mind at all.
The problem with the whole religion vs. Athiesm situation is that both sides are lacking something that will stop the conflict; tolerance. No side should be able to force the other to go by their rules, but each side should also take into consideration that they can simply choose to ignore the other and get on with their lives.

But like he said, you don't see very many religious people trying to get atheism banned.

Who has the right to stop any religion being banned? General consensus in my part of the world is that the "other" religious groups celebrate Christmas as much as the Christians (and aetheists for that matter)
Why should we ban the nativity? Because it's not Muslim/Jewish/Shinto/whatever? They have every right to celebrate their festivals too, and I'm not going to stop them. I'd even go as far as to point out that I'd love to be invited to one of these celebrations, I'd appreciate a Hannuka card being sent to me.
I'm not Christian, but Christmas is a general thing about giving presents and getting drunk, about wishing for snow, not getting any and talking about the good old days when it SNOWED.
And going back to the original point made, not one single person should have anything handed to them because of race. I've seen a plumbing company almost go under because they didn't have enough black people there. Their defence, find a black plumber. I nearly got sacked from a job because I refused to employ an idiot. The fact that he was black meant nothing to me, he was an idiot, and in my professional opinion he wouldn't do the job.
I treat every fool the same, whether they're black, brown, white or purple.

I had an interesting thought while I was bored one day in my English class, and I thought I would share.
Background: We're currently reading The Odyssey (good book) and are doing some review on the topic of Greek and Roman gods. For this review everyone has to put together a poster. One of the questions to be answered on the poster was, and I quote,
| Boring Project |
Why do you think the Greeks created this God? Why did they need him/her?
|
Now, the question I was pondering was what exactly is the difference between saying that and asking why early Christians created their God? When a religion stops being practiced in mass numbers and loses political power, does it cease to be a "true" religion? Try giving kids a project nowadays asking them why the Christian God was devised by the human mind.
Any thoughts?
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
