Hell, 50% and more are offended by Obama. You'll gladly tell them that they can go screw themselves.Originally posted by Norm dePlume View Post
There is no right to not be offended in this country.
I'll repeat it so that hopefully it can sink in a little deeper: THERE IS NO RIGHT TO NOT BE OFFENDED IN THIS COUNTRY.
This is a case of the federal government deciding to utilize its power to somehow enforce that people aren't offended. That flies in the very face of everything upon which this country was founded.It's been ten years since that lonely day I left you

There is no right to have a protected trademark in this country, either. No "endowed by their creator" natural right, at least.Originally posted by Adam View Post
So I'm sure you'll be happy to know that "Obama" is not a protected trademark and you won't have to pay a licensing fee every time you use it.Last edited by Norm dePlume; Wednesday, June 18, 2014, 9:10 PM.Comment

I think it's pretty obvious that this trademark thing is a workaround to force a business to do something that it could not be legally persuaded to do. So even if the workaround is legal, it's not an ethical use of government power. Moreover, Princess Bullshit and her handful of buddies simply do not have standing to declare offense for all the American Indians, even if you could define that term as being people who are at least three quarters Eurasian Migrant Stock of Pre- eurrocolonial Ancestry.Originally posted by Norm dePlume View PostThe year's at the spring

What constitutes "valid" in this case?Originally posted by Norm dePlume View PostMay we raise children who love the unloved things - the dandelion, the worm, the spiderlings.
Children who sense the rose needs the thorn and run into rainswept days the same way they turn towards the sun...
And when they're grown and someone has to speak for those who have no voice,
may they draw upon that wilder bond, those days of tending tender things and be the one.Comment

You're absolutely right. Let's name all the teams something like that. How about the Los Angeles Darkies and the New York Kikes? Texas Beaners?Originally posted by Adam View Post"Since the historic ruling, the Lovings have become icons for equality. Mildred released a statement on the 40th anniversary of the ruling in 2007: 'I am proud that Richard’s and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, Black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That’s what Loving, and loving, are all about.'." - Mildred Loving (Loving v. Virginia)Comment
