I don't get the problem that many people have, with personal computers. If you didn't have PC's... you wouldn't be able to come here in the first place, to argue about anything that is pc.

Indians by King Missile

The Indians lived all over this land before we came and killed them.
That was very bad of us.
We thought we needed the land,
But for the most part,
We just ruined it anyway,
And now, nobody can use it.
That's the way we are.
We're pigs.

One of my favorite foods to eat is called corn.
The Indians call it "maize."
We call the Indians "Indians."
This is because Columbus thought he was in India
When he first came to this land.
Some people say we should call the Indians, "Native Americans,"
'Cause they were here in America before us,
But before us,
This land wasn't called "America."
It was named "America" by a mapmaker who never even came here.
He just lived in Europe
And made maps and when he found out about this land,
And put his name on it,
'Cause he could.
That's the way we are.
We're pigs.

As I was writing this,
A cockroach fell from the sky and onto the table.
I killed it,
'Cause I did.
That's the way I am.
This doesn't really have very much to do with the Indians, though.
I guess I got kind of sidetracked.
Anyway, I hope you see my point.

As the post from The Mad Monk shows, the woman did not get fired.

Is Tingkai always this thick?

The fact that she was penalized at all is outrageous. It should also be noted that it isn't over, and she may well still end up getting fired.

I don't see why it is useful to replace thoughtfulness with "political correctness," especially now it has been reduced to just another weapon with which to attack others.

Face it, people are different. It's the difference that makes us individuals intead of programmed robots. So there is nothing wrong with noticing or even celebrating the differences. [I would be really worried if there's no difference beteen my SO and myself ]. I don't see anything wrong with the differences unless you are so paranoid as to hide yourself inside the "sameness" we all share.

Have you ever listened to King Missile?

Nope, are they a metal band?

[chequita guevara]

jazz-punk with really silly stories. I recommend the Bunny Song, Double F***** By Two Black Studs, Let's Have Sex, and of course, Detachable Penis.

I heard this one a few times on the student radio station in Auckland. Fairly amusing.

[chequita guevara]

All of their music is like that. Take Indians in the same grain.

[Caligastia]

I get it now. I remember the stoned contemplation style of "Detachable Penis".
