He has learned more than you did, with your indoctrination masquerading as "education".....

Liberals have robbed this country of free speech & so much more, including the ability to just have fun.
There is no playfulness or silliness w/ the Nazi libs.

They're the hateful intolerant ones- make no mistake.

I agree 100%! Just typical news reporting these days. Trying to hype up anything they can. So you aren't allowed to dress up like Lucy and Ricardo anymore because someone may get offended? Wow, what is wrong with the US? Really! This is getting so ridiculous!

Societies either allow or look down on politically incorrect behavior and that will always upset some members of the society because some will always find things like black face, sexist jokes or gay bashing offensive while others find them funny and don't think it's such a big deal.

We all have to live with that. Even those who prefer politically correctness have to deal with those "jokes" on a regular basis at work or with friends and family. Now if the media in your country is not as funny as you wish it were, maybe it's time to move, plenty of countries still engage in that behavior.

You'd have to be completely brain dead to go thru what she did & then repeat it. I just shake my head.
In Dean's own words, "I is what I is, and I ain't changin." I never could stomach the woman.

I have found that just about all of the folks who say "I am sick of PC, it's only words, lighten up" tend to get furious and physically violent when someone calls them or their mate/kids (correctly, no less) "fat", "ugly", "dumb", "midget", "baldie," "skank" and so on. Wait guys, I thought it was only words!? Can't we engage in a playful banter any mo'?

Paula Deen is the George Zimmerman of cooking.

She gets a pass or rehabs her image only to shoot herself in the foot again!

Whatever her PR firm gets paid, it's not enough.

Stupid but you would think she would have learned her lesson and been extra careful with anything particularly racial.
