Historical or political correctness?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Is it some kind of coincidence that the Apolytoners who are upset over this are white?

Wrong, again UR. You know I'm not white, and you know this kind of thing upsets me.

This is something fundamentally wrong. The statue is almost directly from a photograph that appeared in 'The Record' newspaper. The differences? They changed two of the white men in the picture to a black and a hispanic. For the record, the photographer that took this picture isn't pleased with this distortion. Why don't we simply just take the photograph and use photoshop to make one of the guys black, and the other hispanic. Would that be wrong?

Why is it that I get the feeling if this was three black firefighters there would be no change in their race on the statue, and if there was, there would be protests galore, and many of the people here saying that this is no big deal would be up in arms about white supremacy winning again (I'm staring right at you che). For the record, I would also consider that wrong.

che beats Imran in staring contest.

what next

the statues for the guys on the pennslyvania flight crash will be hispanic and black.

I'm sure someone has a problem with the fact those guys that fought back on that flight were white.

I don't really give a sh!t either way. I just feel bad for the kids and grandkids of the firefighters who were in the statue.

But for anyone else, it really is none of their business. The artist can do whatever he wants to do (although he was influenced). This really is a personal matter between 2 of the 3 firefighters and the artist.

We shouldn't be getting involved.

No you don't! I stare harder! Ha ha!

[chequita guevara]

Yes, but I stare longer.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Hey! Stop staring at that!

[chequita guevara]

Don't you think it's a little dry in here? All that hot, dry air, blowing into your tired, sleepy eyes.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Hot air? Must be coming from you, eh?

No, my eyes are still wide open, you sneaky Red!

(My, this must be the most brainless threadjack yet... God, I love it )

[chequita guevara]

Imran, it is customary at the beginning of staring contests for the opponents to blink at each other. You go first.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Uh... I don't think that is a rule... but you know, I'm always polite, so I'll let you go first.

[chequita guevara]

Now that I notice it, you've winked three times.

Hey! Stop staring at that!

Hot air? Must be coming from you, eh?

And over in the Abu Sayeff thread. I'm afraid you lose, Imran.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Winked, but never blinked, boyo! According to staring contest rules, I'm still in it!

But you've lost I'm afraid... you've just , where you can see both of your eyes are closed... in a blink!

[chequita guevara]

No way, hoser. You closed an eye, three times. You lose. Both eyes must stay open.

Loser!

Looooooooser!

LUZER!

[Imran Siddiqui]

No they don't. Not according the Logwarts Rules of Procedure for Staring Contests (19732 pages).

So you are the loser! Loser! Take that! Nyah Nyah nyah nyah!

[chequita guevara]

Logwarts!?! What? Grrrr.

I was playing according the The Brak Show rules.

BTW, that wasp stinging your eyes must be awfully painful.
