you win (Gay Talk Post)
'That's so gay' used to be a phrase used by kids on the playground at school. But at some point, probably because of South Park, it became fair game for adults to use as well. It has become so widespread that most people don't even see the problem with it and roll their eyes when you protest.

Every demographic has a preferred term to identify itself. It could be African-American instead of black, Asian instead of Oriental, Christian, Straight, Women, etc..... Gay (correct me if I'm wrong berticus) is the respectful term of choice by most Gay people. Gay is a nice happy alternative to the cold, clinical and distancing word 'homosexual' that FAUX news likes to use.

So my question is how would it make you feel if one of your unchangeable identifying characteristics was used as a euphemism for stupid or lame? I'm guessing you probably wouldn't like it. "Wow, that new Ewe Bol movie was so Christian", "OMG, John Tesh's music is so heterosexual", "That Carrot Top joke was so feminine"

It's true that white has been used as a euphemism for unhip - although not so much any more - and while this is wrong in principle, the fact that white people are rarely subject to abuse on the basis of their skin color makes this insult less menacing. Abuse of Gay people is still tolerated to a large degree in this society.

I'm not Gay, but many of my close friends have been Gay throughout my life. I've been chewed out for calling things gay and using the word 'cocksucker', so I'm speaking from experience.

My 2 cents.

Teacher Rejects the Madness of No Child Left Behind.
McDonalds and WalMart are two of the most successful business models in the history of business. What makes you think these models wouldn't 'succeed' in the education business too? Business only understands value in terms of money, and once turning a profit becomes the goal of education, McSchool and Kinder*Mart will be inevitable. That's how business works blankfist.

School choice would only benefit those who attend private school. Their tuition fees would be subsidized by the government, but would see no real educational improvement. Those who don't attend private school would get the shaft. Without the bargaining power of big bucks, these kids would get McSchool and Kinder*Mart. Cheap, fun and completely devoid of educational value.

You complain about Washington bureaucrats, but seem to see no potential problems with business bureaucrats. The Washington bureaucrats answer to us, business bureaucrats do not. It seems like you are saying the best way to make education more democratic is by making education less democratic.

^Bush would agree with you, but you're both wrong. The problem with NCLB is too much private involvement and not enough public involvement. Deregulate schools and you can expect more of this kind of bulshit, and it would also effectively silence our voices on the subject.

Vouchers and 'school choice' are embezzlement scams.

That song just makes me nauseous. I had the uncontrollable urge to downvote it before I got to the last line. Sorry. I actually tried to find the song on the sift so I could downvote that too, but it's not on the site. Sorry. Of course I know you were being sarcastic.

Oh, and it looks like I sent my explanatory message to myself somehow.

You realize I was being sarcastic when I wrote that comment, right? Because I don't understand your comment downvote.

But as Darrell Worley asked, "Have you forgotten?"

They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
Well, after 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right


God bless John McCain, for using fear to win an election!

Chris Matthews Explodes at Pat Buchanan
These political jousting shows just keep getting angrier. I'd love to see a tag team cage match between Robert Novak-Tucker Carlson and James Carville-Paul Begala.

The Difference Between Barack Obama and Ron Paul
Check out the BSG miniseries first. If you like it, check out the whole series. In the first part of the 3rd season, they riff on the Iraq occupation, with the Cyclons as Americans and the humans as 'Iraqi's/Insurgents'. It's smart and edgy and all that, you'd both dig it.

I dug both Iron Man and Batman. Apples and oranges, tho.
