what do you think?

i found this article:

Great Britain shows this ex-colony how it should be done:
Regarding the Russian submarine snarled in underwater cables a couple of weeks ago.......By the time we cleared all the bureaucratic "B.S." and got started, Great Britain had arrived, completed the rescue of the seven men trapped in the submarine, and were cleaning up.
England's Prime Minister Blair made a national speech yesterday in which he more or less said he didn't give a damn what color you were, what religion you practiced, or how long you'd been in England .... anyone stirring trouble was OUT .... DEPORTED .... GONE! We're having a hell of a time keeping men, women and children from crossing the borders illegally, we support them when they get here, and put people in jail for reporting them.
Within days of the terrorist attacks in England, Scotland Yard had accounted for every man involved. We're still looking for 9/11 terrorists, can't find Bin Laden, and are now trying to get "permission" to search people who might have bombs. While the rest of the world is dealing with major problems, we've got the whole damn Congress fighting over appointment of one Judge and whether or not the Atlanta Braves can keep their mascot.
We've become so politically correct we look like idiots to the rest of the world.

I think if we get rid of all of the Indian mascot names, then we need to change the names of most of our states counties and rivers too. Ohio means beautiful river or something like that, but Indian names are probably too offensive. I think we should name it West Pennsylvannia, unless that offends the Quakers or directionally challenged people.

Hi,

Being from Michigan, I would like for Indiana (not a politically correct word) to become politically correct so we know what is going on.

I drove through Indiana the other day while on the way home and saw at least ten strip joints in Indianapolis. Anyhow, after seeing these strip joints and one of them being called Diane's place, I actually think it would be more politically correct to call that place Sindiana.

Now some, might say the word Indian is still in there and to those I would say, no it isn't. We are talking here about Sin Diana. We will now call it Sin Diana............That my friends is pollitically correct and would therefore make my journey through that sinful place more pleasant..

Heck, why don't we just go way back and go to Norhtwest Territory?? I use it all of the time. It's how I feel a kinship with people in IL,IN,MI,and WI............. all Indian names by the way.

But we have come a long way. In the 17th 18th and 19th centuries, us whities killed the indian. In the 20th century, we ridiculed them (check out any 50's cowboy movie). In the 21st century, are we shwoing them respect, or clearing our collective consicence??

On a side note, a Native American (I am native to America) intermural team called themselves the fighting whities :gasp:

Also, in the 21st century, they're getting their revenge by opening casinos.

I hate political correctess. Everybody is too busy walking on eggshells to get anything done.

My great-great-grandfather was an eagle. I take so much offense to that.

I guess we don't care whom we offend. We should be more aware of the feelings of bird descendents. I propse we have a meeting at KFC, I'm buying.

Secrets To A Long Life!

A woman walked up to a little old man rocking in a chair on his porch.

"I couldn't help noticing how happy you look," she said. "What's your
secret for a long happy life?"

"Well, honey, I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day," he said. "I also
drink a case of whiskey a week, eat fatty foods, and never exercise."

"That's amazing, "the woman said. "How old are you?"

"Twenty-six," he said.
