What? They would rather accept "subordinate" status? As in, "Boy, come over here and bust up that chiffarobe!"
In my opinion, the majority of racial prejudice now exists in what we used to call the minority.
Teacher is going nuts and fellow students are starting to think a bit about the poisoned pap she is spooning out.
Oh that is White Americas fault too. They are just "mimicking the prejudice of the dominate group". And yes, it is just that insulting. If you are a member of a "subordinate group" you are incapable of developing any negative traits of your own. You are sweet, innocent and pliable. Something like a person with Downs syndrome.
And yes, I have pointed that out. :)
Schwarzenegger was held up as an example of how a member of a "subordinate group" (Yes it includes all immigrants) becomes contaminated by middle American prejudice because of his comment on Latins and Africans being hot blooded. Never mind that this was a common belief in Northern Europe since before there was an America. It is middle America's fault dontch know?
Doesn’t that fall into the “Land of Enchantment” category?
Or maybe it’s more like, “Disneyland East?”
I’ve heard of French and Latins being hot-blooded, but not Africans. And then there is also the “fact” that French and Spanish are “romance” languages. Probably because they’ve never heard of Tex-Mex. Now THAT is something to blow your mind.
A lot like Urdu.
Good luck.
I received email from the grand Pubah of Facilities with this subject line:
"Voluntary surrender of desktop printers and fax machines..."
The body of the email contained the following bribe:
As a follow-up to the deployment of Multi-Function Devices (MFDs), Facilities is asking all employees with personal desktop printers and fax machines to turn them in as part of the cost saving associated with the MFD program and receive a small token of appreciation.
During the voluntary surrender period (August 15 - September 15, 2007) each site will be eligible as follows:
1. *The first 30 volunteers receive a cafeteria lunch voucher for $7, plus 6 CFL energy efficient light bulbs.
2. All volunteers during this period will receive 6 CFL energy efficient light bulbs.
Oh, be still, my beating heart! SIX -- cout them -- SIX -- compact fluorescent light bulbs! Oh, the untold ECSTASY!!
Of course, I can see the future, now:
JACKBOOTED THUG: "Hand over the printer and nobody gets hurt!"
QUAILING CUBE JOCKEY: "URK! Uh, er, well, okay. Here. Just take it."
THUG: "Hey, no hard feelings, buddy. You didn't score the lunch coupon, but here are some CFL's for ya."
CUBE JOCKEY: "Uh, isn't this about the environment?"
THUG: "Yeah, of course. Why?"
CUBE JOCKEY: "These CFL's contain mercury; if I use them at home, I have to treat them as HazMat when they finally burn out. And God forbid one gets broken, it'll cost me $2000 to have my house remediated!"
THUG: [lowering voice]: "That's YOUR problem, and if you know what's good for you, you'll keep all that to yourself and just smile, and say 'Thank you, Sir.'"
CUBE JOCKEY: "Uh, er, well... Okay. Uh, thanks...Sir. I guess."
This may be just the motivation I need to dig my nominally functional EPSON Stylus 760 out of mothballs, tune it up, and use it in my office.
LOL, what kind of moonbats are running this company?
For what it’s worth, I can’t justify the cost of the darn things. So what if I burn incandescent bulbs? It’s my power bill, and I pay it.
If they contain mercury, I don’t want those “energy-effecient” lightbulbs in my house. Period. Send the lightbulb police to come and get me.
I don't suppose anyone pointed out to management that this type of thing greatly undermines document security and increases inefficiency by forcing you to wait while another job is being processed.
That's too logical. It will never cross their minds. I suspect I'd be written up before I gave up my personal printer.
This attitude shows in what contempt these "teachers" and would-be social engineers hold the minority people. That not only do they need help or advantage in a straight up competition, but that they also have immature social observation skills.
No wonder Clarence Thomas despises the alleged "help" of the self-styled "do-gooders".
lunasiurus technus
Common Tech-sector moonbat. Snobby little beggars think they’re a cut above other moonbats because they’re on the bleeding edge of technology. Even Bill’s Big Blowout of 2001 (the market dive, not the towers) didn’t really take them down a peg.
Somewhere there’s a horror thread posted about somebody back east who broke one in their house and made the mistake of calling Poison Control to ask them how to clean it up, since it was in the baby’s room.
THAT turned out to have been exactly the phone call NOT to have made. Lots of government agencies involved and the homeowner left stuck with the bill.
I’m having a real tough time with my daughter and her liberal thinking, even though she says she’s a conservative. She BELIEVES there were no WMD in Iraq; that we “invaded” the country; that there is a “civil war” there.
Her dad must be rolling over his his grave. She doesn’t want to hear the voice of reason, and I don’t know how to get over that barrier.
I send her FR URLs, but I have no idea if she reads the articles. It’s sounds like not.
Not gonna happen in MY house!
Maybe she’s a Ron Paul “conservative” lol.
Virtually all agencies concerned with Iraq's WMD programs have reached the conclusion that Saddam was an expert at delay, dispersion, and deception. His nuclear program had restarted as reported earlier this year by Dr. Kay, the previous head of the ISG. Also, 'seed agents' and other bio—toxins had been dispersed throughout Baghdad and Iraq to form the basis for the regeneration of a full—fledged BW program. This modus operandi was no different for the regeneration of Saddam's chemical weapons program. Operating under the guise of legitimate industrial and agricultural chemical production and storage, Iraq would have gone into full—scale conversion of its stockpile of chemical precursors into weaponized agents, had the Coalition not attacked and seized Iraq.
I dunno. She (and her hubby) keep saying, “what this country needs is another civil war.”
Sounds to me like she doesn’t have brains, just emotions.
I’ve loaned her a book called “The Cobra Event,” by Richard Preston. Although he wrote it in 1997, it’s frighteningly accurate in the WMD that Hussein (and Russia) had/have.
Part of the book is factual, part is fiction based on fact, and some of it is possibility. It’s an eye-opener. I hope it works.
She can’t seem to get beyond “Reading Lolita in Teheran.”
In the mean time, I’ll email her that URL. Thanks!
