redskns21 Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Quote from article: [line] "Many Republicans voted against the measure, saying the state has more important business, including a cash crisis and a broken workers' compensation system."

WallyG3 Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 At work, our trainers are not allowed to call the Dry Erase boards "White Boards", and they are not allowed to use the term "flip chart". This PC crap has to stop somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 State officials estimate the change will cost schools about $125,000. :doh: Assemblyman Dave Cox, R-Fair Oaks, said the compromise represented the incremental beginning of eventually banning all Native American-related names."I was disappointed the Washington Redskins didn't make the playoffs," he said, regarding the National Football League team. :laugh: If I lived out there, I'd vote for that guy. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy Jumbo Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 So, when is California going to start banning people from saying colors like black and white in public. They could be racial slurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas-Born Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 It is about time. Next we need to rename the Giants the New York Large People--and teh Cornhuskers to I don't know "struggling mid west farm hands". The Titans, they will have to be the Mythilogical Characters that ruled Mt. Olympus before the Gods. (Put that on helmet). Oh and the Raiders and the Bucs...maybe "those that raped pilliaged and plundered" That one might nees some work. While were at it rename the Panthers. How about "Carniverous Cats"...yes that should work. Oh but what about Lions, Bengals and Jags. How freakin rediculous is it that a state wants to worry about a nick name. Gibe me a break.

PCS Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Lest we forget others as well. Forty-Niners. Now, since we are in a more environment friendly age these days and considering the source, I think maybe a change is needed in San Fran. I mean, the Forty-Niners did pillage the land and drove many locals out in the search for gold. Can't have that now can we? How about the Eagles and Falcons. Damned shame to have this type of wonderful animal demeaned by being a "mascot". I'm sure PETA would agree. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Originally posted by TC4 What do you expect from a bunch of PC liberals would would turn California into a Marxist state if they could get way with it That is as ignorant a statement as saying the anti-privacy neo-cons would turn the US into a fascist paradise. In the extreme edges of politics are populated entirely by lunatics. Doesn't matter which direction you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegas-Born Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 You are right Party City I guess the 49ers will have to be called "Those who mrdered all for the love of a sparkly rock" Its gonna be tough putting that one on a helmet too. And the Eagles and Falcons...Birds of Prey, or maybe fish eating, Talon sporting air flying creatures of the earth...maybe??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
