Title: The politics of being offended
Post by: ccp on February 09, 2014, 08:53:48 AM

Oh come on .  This guy is so insulted and humiliated.  Why does an amputee need a dog in the store with him?  Why was it wrong for an employee to enforce store policy by questioning this?   And then he got his apology.  IF the right is going to highlight this then we may as well give up on requiring photo IDs to collect tax payer funded benefits or for voting:

got to somehow justify their raison d'être I guess.

I can't figure it out.
Somehow, someone thinks the large lips are to mock Black's - on a bear who impersonates Elvis ?   :roll:

Why, some think larger fat lips are voluptuous or sexy I guess:

I have never seen so many models with injected lips then in the past few yrs.

In the series "Warrior" about a man in a Chinese Tong in 1880s San Francisco (quite good btw!) the Chinese called Americans "Ducks", presumably because of their relatively bigger lips.
