A follow-up to this post. My lovely wife, a Red Cross volunteer has been asked to go to the local public swimming facilities to collect those "horribly insensitive" posters. After all, the Red Cross is made up of volunteers who rely on donations. Never mind the flooding still goiong on in Texas and W Va, and that we're in the midst of hurricane season in FL, priorities are priorities, right? And at least 99% of the donors are either unaware of this non-controversy or don't give a rat's a** or are angry that the Red Cross would shamelessly capitulate to such idiocy. If the ARC is so concerned about bigotry, real or perceived perhaps they should investigate their partners in the Middle East, the Red Crescent about lingering issues of Jew-hatred. And for this hypersensitive lost soul who was so bent out of shape over these posters, the Red Cross offers mental health referral services for free. It would be in this individual's best interest to take advantage of these services, because getting offended for the sake of getting offended, while it may temporarily give one a sense of empowerment, if not superiority, is really no way to go through life.
You’re going to have to clue me in here.
Is it no plain Moslems in sight?
No handicapped (”disabled”) in sight?
BTW, what is the boy in the middle doing? Gulping air? Is that “uncool”?
Actually the rule is probably NO DIVING. These days they hate diving. In public it’s often not allowed.
Further evidenced by the fact there are no “diving” boards alloewed for sale anymore! They are ALL short pointless “springboards” or something. Mere platfirms.
Glad my parents still have their old long board. They must’ve bought this 2nd one in 40 years just before the ban.
I hear “she” is actually a he too.
I remember the first time I climbed up on a high dive. I was 10 and at first it scared the you know what out of me. But, with encouragement from my dear old dad, I made up my mind to go ahead and jump and I actually felt a little foolish for being so scared in the first place. Now there’s very few public pools with high dives anymore.
