I have often said that “In God We Trust” should be updated to a new national slogan, “You Owe Me an Apology.”

I just donated hundreds of knitting needles to a high school knitting group that makes hats for newborns. Maybe the left doesn’t want people talking amongst themselves. They should ban knitting.

Nothing brings together a bunch of liberals faster than something that’s none of their damn business

I had a roommate whose grandmother had knitted him a blanket with a different black girl in each square to keep him company at knight.

Same grandmother had crocheted him a wall plague with a black girl in a UT cheerleader outfit and UT flags that had the caption:
“Tell me quick before I faint
Is you for UT or is you aint?”

I am SURE literally tens of millions in India would look upon visiting the USA like going to another planet.

These Fill-in-the-blank - Americans want to be all proud of their culture.

So when someone is excited about their culture, it is now racism????????????????????????

And if you don’t like their culture, that is for-sure racism.

Racist if you do, racist if you don’t.

>First mystery—how to use a flush toilet.

Several years ago I went back east for a friends wedding. He is Indian, from a well off family, most of whom are still there. Many of the male visitors were crammed in to his apartment the night before the wedding.
About 3 in the morning I woke to the sound of his Grandfather repeatedly flushing the toilet and giggling.

I’ve felt somewhat alien in some places in America, so I’m pretty sure that feeling would be strengthened considerably if I were in India. I believe it is normal to feel that way when you don’t know the food, language, customs, etc.

Now, if she had asked me about India, I would have told her I’ve never given a rip about it. Would that make her feel better?

California & NY are other planets to me.
Never want to re-visit either one again.

Is there anything that millennials or liberals cannot kill? Just because their so miserable, they have to make every one else feel the same.
