Florida Betty posted:I always hear the weirdest things at Panera. Once, someone was conducting a job interview (not for Panera) at a table next to me, and the interviewer proudly and extremely loudly announced to the interviewee that she never hired Asians. Usually people try to be a little quieter with their racism in public. During the Ferguson Riots last year, I stopped in a Panera because it felt like a good idea. I ended up sitting next to a table of four old men that were discussing the situation. It was pretty much "racist bingo" for the event. Talking about how they're young savages that don't know how to behave and all that. Also at one point one of the men lectured one of the others because he was saving most of his money to have his children inherit instead of buying fancy sports cars to go on adventures and be completely selfish. Right.

Not sure it quite fits here, but I have an anecdote about a moron. I work as a shipper receiver to play for college. I was loading a pallet onto a truck when I saw someone wandering around the parking lot and asked him what he was looking for. He told me he tried to knock on the front door to find someone to speak to. but the office was already empty, so he ended up wandering around to the back of the warehouse. I assumed he needed to pick up a load for a restaurant or event or something, so I pointed him to the warehouse supervisor. About half an hour later, the warehouse supervisor came up to me and asked me why I sent an idiot in his direction. Apparently he was here because he received an email from 'Coca-Cola UK' telling him he won 1,000,000 pounds and asking for all his information, and he came here to find out how why he hadn't received it, and how to claim it. The supervisor needed to explain that he was being scammed multiple times, and he still left his name 'just in case'. This was also in Canada.

Not a basketball fan but 1) all of airplane is hilarious 2) Kareem is one of my favorite athletes for his work as an actor. There's this bit called "Djinn, no chaser" where he hams up playing a genie, but it was written well so he I couldn't complain

I loved him in Game of Death. The look on Bruce Lee's face as he just slowly takes in how tall Kareem is. Plus after he gets kicked, his previously pristine now iconic yellow suit has a huge footprint from neck to groin on it. KAJ was actually one of his students irl too.

"I agree, these demands by transsexuals dont make sense at all. The whole thing is nonsensical. There is discrimination here, but its discrimination towards heterosexuals to the point that a law like this seems needed. Basically, if you claim to be “trans” then you can simply pick and choose whatever gender you want to be and use that restroom. Do heterosexuals get afforded same choice? If I’m at a public place and the line to the men’s room is a mile long but no one is using the women’s restroom, can I as a clearly heterosexual male declare for the next 5 minutes that I’m a woman and go use the women’s restroom? The Republicans are right in passing this law, but they are passing it for all the wrong reasons. Letting 0.13% of population use whatever public facilities they want, and denying that right to the rest of 99.87% of the population is the definition of discrimination."

I used to bring my daughter into the mens room before she was able to take care of herself. No-one died. I used to use the ladies room at work at a company I worked at a decade ago because it was cleaner and no-one ever cared. I somehow avoided raping and murdering women during that time. At my current office, sometimes there will be a female cleaner in the restroom when I go in. Somehow, my manhood is retained. If your first thought is rape and murder when you think of a man in the ladies room, that's on you. You're the one that thought of it. The trans m/f just wants to take a piss.

Context: We both live in Norway and its loving cold here. I spoke to my friend about global warming while we were walking outside. Apparently, because it was snowing outside at that time of the year that meant climate change does not happen. Such a frustrating argument to hear.

Without even touching on the considerably more loving idiotic things about this, whoever said this apparently doesn't even know what transgender people are, because it's a matter of gender identity, not sexuality.

If Christianity stopped existing, millions of people will die regardless, because everybody dies. If Islam stopped existing, there'd still be everyone alive that wasn't a Muslim, so millions of people would be alive.

Somebody mentioned Davis a few days ago. I went to college there ages ago. I will never forget te first time I was in line buying textbooks. The white girls in front of me were talking to a black boy, he eventually excused himself and one of the girls said to the other, "OMG we just talked to a black guy!" Later that term, a friend I made noticed when a classmate from my high school waved at me. He and I weren't friends, but hey, familiar faces on a big campus, I get it. Anyway, this new friend of mine asked me to set him up with her friend because he was black. But here's the real stupid thing I heard from this other chick, "I like black guys because you can't see the veins in their cocks." What the Christ people.

That does sound like Davis. I skydive there often, and it's still really white. When I moved to the bay area, I remember chatting with some fellow students and I lamented how few black people were in our area. It was just passing commentary; our school billed itself as one of the most diverse in the country, which was probably true, but being from DC I was used to seeing a lot of black faces. After I left, one of the friends turned to the other, and said "I have never heard of anyone complaining that there weren't enough black people around."

My in-laws are always telling me to beat my kids. They think that we're too lenient because our kids speak their mind. They're not rude, they just speak like adults even though they're 7 and 9. Sorry my kids use good grammar. The first thing I always think of is, "What if I'm upset with your opinion? Should I lay you out?" Is it acceptable to hit an employee? Is it a good idea to beat your wife? When I'm upset with service at the DMV, can I smack them across the face with a clipboard? What if my co-worker calls me an rear end in a top hat? Should my first thought be violence? Don't hit your kids.

My dad hit me a handful of times in the span of 15 years or so. Never prolonged beatings, never left a mark, never needed a check up. But to this day there is a veil of disrespect towards him that I can't shake off even if I wanted to. Another messed up part about beating children, even if it is "mildly" as in my case, is that you plant the idea in their heads that it is perfectly normal. For the longest time I just assumed that all kids got a hard slap when they've done something really stupid, and I was bewildered to find out that wasn't the case. Ugh. Long story short: don't hit your goddamn kids you goddamn lunatics. I know we're goons and all but we ain't monsters!

Yeah hitting kids is hosed up, and even though I only got a smack like three or four times in my life, it still wasn't exactly productive or helpful. But I'm not a big proponent of punishment as a rule anyway (well, outside the right places  ). People almost always respond better to the carrot than the stick.

A light-medium swat from an open palm on the diaper-padded bottom is appropriate in some cases before a kid's old enough to understand a time out.

That's his point, we only ever use violence as a form of a coercion towards children, unless you're a cop or something. It's teaching kids that violence is how you deal with people you don't agree with, and yet when they get older they're not supposed to do that.
