Thoreau also said that the ancient Egyptians should’ve thrown the pharaohs in the Nile instead of building pyramids for them.

True.

But in the real world, it would’ve been Thoreau thrown in the Nile.

Goethe understood better. He had Faust say that those who speak the truth without regard to the prevailing orthodoxy have always been crucified and burned.

The young lady is in Utah, the trolls only come to Utah via the internet.

They can pass through, they can visit the Temple at Salt Lake... Most simply remain in their parent’s basement.

I’m an American of Italian ancestry.

Should I get upset when Americans who are not of Italian ancestry go to an Italian restaurant and eat Italian food?

What about “Everybody Loves Raymond?”

The actors on that TV show played the roles of Catholics of Italian ancestry.

But some of the actors were Jewish and not of Italian descent. Was I supposed to throw a hissy fit and get upset?

This whole “cultural appropriation” crap is just that...crap spewed by deranged liberals (a redundant term).

Hmmm. Perhaps an awkward choice of a participle to describe a prom dress inasmuch as prom night is often considered a night for the same word form used as a gerund.

If I were the girl’s dad, I might demand to ride along to monitor after-prom activities.

Like the rest of this story, none of your business.

Good for her.

No one says anything about Moo wearing white chick wigs.

“Cultural appropriation indeed.”

Also note they’re speaking english.

He’s probably gay and jealous she wore it better than he did.

Drag out the old Krauts, oh my!

Does that impinge on Godwin’s law?

“That which does not kill us, makes us stronger.”

Yes, HDT was an early hippy, but I grab the quotes as I can recall with a deprecating memory.

Soon as I get the memory pills I will share them; if I can remember to do so...

Yes, a mental disease. I’m beginning to think it’s CONTAGIOUS! And we’re getting awfully close to an epizoodic. (That word chosen intentionally, since we’re dealing with progressives here).

That’s very much like Suzy Wong’s dress.

Who made them the arbitrators of what they call cultural appropriation? They made themselves the arbitrators — and, as such, they get to set the rules.

Slamming it back in their (Libs’) faces is the only way to stop the insanity.

I believe the critics are jealous of the prom girl’s body. She’s put together real nice. And a beautiful smile, to boot.
