Prosperity Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Don't they know that the word has been transformed into something good and wholesome (DC Franchise) from its past demeening form? When people say redskins they dont mean actual indians they mean fans or memebers of the franchise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Tater Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Equality, Redskin has became a major slur over the last few years, last year especially made it bad. Getting back to the Superbowl (hell, at least being competitve) may reform the word again. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVskinsfan Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 As a former Californian I agree. They have taken the fun out of the Sunshine State! They have even banned liscense plates that are "inapropriate" Even a long time skins fan had to give his plate back to the DMV, because someone cried about it! I remember that story a couple of years back! :doh: This state is in a state of flux...glad I got out too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbol Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Originally posted by Dr. D god I hate californians. Thank god I don't live there any more! must be something in the water that makes their heads go soft. Hey, watch that. I'm a Californian, and I don't agree with most things the government calls for. As I always tell people here, I just work here. I'm a teacher that doesn't get paid by the state, because I like getting a higher pay check.

Funny, the last fascist paradise was socialist Germany, so, it appears the left embraces fascism more than the right. At least if we're living in reality and not picking tulips in liberal fantasy.

At least if we're living in reality and not picking tulips in liberal fantasy. Socialism and fascism are similar and that fact is used by right wing lunatics to lie to you. They both involve goverment mixing with private industry. Their differences lie in ideology. Socialism is the best interest of the people (in theory) being placed before the needs of industry. The people through goverment (in theory) control all production and distribution in their state. Fascism is the opposite. It is when the goverment is the industry and the best interest of industry is first and foremost. Now think about it. Why would the 'social program anti big business' whores on the left be tied to socialism.....because of the industry last people first myth of socialism. And of corues the pro-corp welfare (most don't know it) pro big business right wing is labled fascist. Of course both fascism and socialism result in police states and misery but I the neo-cons and the red liberals forget that part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Tater Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Facism (as experienced in Europe in the 20th Century) and Marxism as philosophies of government are both based on the same philosophy. The underlying principles can be seen in the works of Hegal, Rousseau and Nietzsche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BD Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Look folks, the California Assembly is by far the nuttiest political body in America. They routinely pass all sorts of silly laws.

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Originally posted by Park City Skins 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: I didn't look any further if anyone replied, but Peta's been wanting Green Bay to drop the "packer" name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn X Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Assemblymember Goldberg resides in Echo Park with her life-partner, poet Sharon Stricker, who is also a teacher and is the Executive Director of LACER, a non-profit organization which runs arts and literacy based after school programs in middle schools in LAUSD. Their son Brian lives and works in San Diego. Goldberg holds her Bachelor of Arts degree from University of California, Berkeley, and a Masters in Education from the University of Chicago. She is a Los Angeles native and has been a resident of the District in Echo Park since 1967. Why am I not surprised that someone such as this would take up such a patently PC cause? Hello, Ms. Goldberg! You're a walking friggin' caricature of the political machine out in (the People's Republic of) California! :ciao: Originally posted by BD the California Assembly is by far the nuttiest political body in America. They routinely pass all sorts of silly laws. This one should surprise no one - just another foolish speech code. Ain't that the truth! What I continue to find fascinating is how individuals like Ms. Goldberg will always stand up and defend certain kinds of controversial speech (like a public high school production of, say, The Vagina Monologues) all day long on the grounds that such speech is protected by the 1st Amendment, however, when it comes to Native American sports mascots, we all must suddenly be "saved" from such "vile" language.
