OT: But, reading this made me wonder, is there ANYTHING in this world NOT controversial? Is there a single (name even one) item in the entire world that we ALL agree on? I think not.
Let's look at the above item. To be controversial, there must be at least two sides to the issue or there would be no controversy. That said, I am sure there are some that may be offended by the name. On the flip side, I am also sure many are not. OK, you say, but those offended are American Indians, and those not are not American Indians. Perhaps in many cases you are correct, but certainly not in EVERY case. Therefore, it stands to reason that the exact opposite of the controversy is correct. Some wish the name changed and others are offended by that suggestion. So which offended side should prevail in controversy?
I recall a personal incident some time ago. I went to Tallahassee, Florida to a Florida State vs. Miami baseball series. There were Seminole Indians outside the ballpark protesting the nickname "Seminoles". On the other side of the walkway, there were Seminole Indians protesting a change in the nickname. For God's sake, even the so called offended group couldn't even fucking agree!!!
OK, I've rambled a bit, or perhaps a lot. Bottom line, no matter the issue, item, statement, whatever, someone somewhere will take offense. So be it. Put on your big boy pants or big girl panties and live with it. The world doesn't fucking revolve around your ass!
Just imagine the alternative. A world in which everyone is exactly the same, has exactly the same thoughts, exactly the same wants, exactly the same wishes, exactly the same EVERYTHING! What a boring fucking world this would be!
Done!
Clubber I agree with the that 100%
