"She says a lot of people are having fun finding new titles for Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" which presents problems with every word except "and" and "the." Ravitch said old is ageist, man is sexist and sea can't be used in case a student lives inland and doesn't grasp the concept of a large body of water."

What do you see wrong with that? Or is it just me that thinks the whole world has gone fucking insane?

"The New York Times recently reported that National Institute of Health researchers on AIDS are not only avoiding using words like gay and homosexuals in e-mails so as not to offend conservatives in the Bush administration, they are also inventing code words.

Times journalist Erica Goode reported that one researcher was told to "cleanse" the abstract of his grant proposal of words like gay, homosexual and transgender even though his research was on HIV in gay men."

...cleanse? What the fuck? And conservatives AND the Bush 'administration' can bite my ass. Fuckers. I don't like them in the first place.

It just really boggles my mind that people are like that. They feel they have to hide things from their children and shit. Kids that grow up sheltered and confused are the ones that become the psychos and rebel and shit. I turned out perfectly fine reading textbooks that had 'biddy' and 'boyish' in them. Feh. Fuckers.

I'd love to see some station run anime uncut like Ranma 1/2. or Tenchi. I think that would be friggin cool. we already see sex scenes and tons of violence on TV, why dcan't we have nudity? We should be enlightened enought to aleast be comfortable with human body. or the bleeping or the word substitution in movies. *shakes head* stuck up jerks, tehy be.
