We don't take the propagation of our culture, than which nothing is more sacred or important, sufficiently important.

Or our grammar, apparently.

I'm still stuck trying to make a pun using "triticale".  :(  If I ever get it, it'll be awesome.


And, if you did, it'd be spread pretty thick.

Yeah.

That's the sort of ending-preposition-avoidance phrasing up with which we will not put.

Sorry. I should have said, "Or our grammar, apparent."

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

Probably, the words "soap" and "running water" are racist too  :P

Any word at all can be labeled racist by these idiots.  They can do this because the rest of society allows them to control the discussion.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
