It's a fair comparison to say that hanging a Confederate flag to advertise American products would be like advertising German products in America with a Nazi Party flag, right?

I looked at some of the Bing translation of the German comments on Heidi's Facebook album and while they are obviously a rough translation, a lot of them are positive.

"Don't you feel like a dude when you have 1-day stubble on your legs?"

Good point! And if having stubble on your legs made you feel like a dude, wouldn't you NOT CARE what anyone else thinks?

Well, considering that "dude" or male is often the default for "human," then, yes, when I don't shave my legs, I feel like a "dude." Meaning "a human."

Pfft, no. If girls eat the chocolate, they will get fat. Meanwhile, guys are impressed at the number of chocolate bars they can eat in a minute.

It's a lesson in empathy. I think that's good for everyone to experience now and then, even if they aren't a sexist/racist/homophobe, etc.

Going to take this opportunity to plug Why Oh Why? with Andrea Silenzi on WFMU. Listen to the March 26, 2014 episode, when Andrea's friend Randy tells her about hooking up with "C" college girls in Panama Beach.

Yeah, but you only have one baseball team, so...it's a toss-up.

White people, mostly men, are the only people who are serious when they talk about "the good old days."

My friend came up with a good one. He posted on his Facebook that if you go to any Starbucks anywhere and show a Washington State driver's license (since Starbucks is from WA), you can get a free drip coffee. Two of his co-workers fell for it. He's buying them coffee tomorrow.
