Yeah, why the hell do all these people keep demanding to be treated fairly, with all this stupid respect and dignity. If I recall correctly the South was going to repeal slavery before that whiny Lincoln guy had to go and bitch. If he had just kept his mouth shut the South would have got there on their own.

I'm sure the name was chosen purely to honor Native Americans.

If public outrage becomes too great, however, he will blame the name on the New Orleans Saints and suspend Sean Payton for another year.

Native Americans aren't offended by the name. I think it's the slaughtering and the smallpox blankies and getting pushed off to reservations that really irks them.

Funny story: I'm anglo but I speak a handful of languages. I was speaking one on the bus (in west London, where there aren't a lot of native English speakers) with a friend a few months ago and some lady told me off. Imagine her shock when I replied with my anglo accent and encouraged her to get some education because…

didn't Rubio watch the West Wing? this has been covered.

No, what we should do is provide easy access to language classes once they're here, not block their visas due to lack of language skills.

Sad. Kids, don't do it. It really does get better. Adults, don't do it either. 1-800-SUICIDE is there to help if nothing else will. Please.

So, he was shooting with his left hand so that he would have an excuse when he lost anyway, right?

Florida is possibly the most backwards and hated state in the US. However, and I find this true whenever and wherever I travel, no one lives/dresses/talks/acts/etc like US television shows. It's entertainment - it's fiction. I find myself explaining the 'real US' on all continents.

Or holidays or summer vacation. In grad school, EVERY DAY.

I really do wish more people gave a shit about their appearance. I'm not asking for plastic surgery or designer clothes or even makeup. I'm asking for proper (non-plastic) footware, jeans with their crotches in tact, street clothes for the street (as opposed to pyjamas or gym clothes). I fucking hate looking at…

Speak for yourself. I dress like this:

"Listen," said the parents and the school in a joint statement, "If this were an issue of a promising young football player playfully raping another student, certainly we could look the other way. But this isn't that. This is a violent crime of an evil teenager consensually having sex with a slightly younger teenager.…

Is it me or has sports journalism (and political coverage as well) just turned into trolls attempting to everything possible to generate page views and angry comments?

TJ Simers is one of those guys that doesn't care whether what he writes is true or not or the potential fall out, but whether what he writes will be popular (in terms of how much it's read or talked about not whether it's liked or not). Everything he does as a journalist is through that mind set. Absolutely…

I've always found it interesting that America's most common interracial pairing, White Man/Asian Woman, has nowhere near the societal interest/stigma as its runner-up Black Man/White Woman. In fact, everytime I've mentioned that WM/AW is the most common pairing and not BM/WM the person I say it to never believes me…

If anyone hasn't already read bell hook's "Eating the Other" in her book Black Looks they really should.
