L.A. County Bans Use Of "Master/Slave" Term

SlashChick writes "In an interesting twist on political correctness, L.A. County has banned the use of the terms 'Master/Slave' (commonly used to denote hard drive arrangements.) According to Snopes.com, 'someone within the County bureaucracy... had taken offense at "master/slave" references and complained to the board.' L.A. County now requires that vendors working with the county remove all 'master/slave' references. Incredible. Read the full story."

Some people simply have nothing better to do....

Some people simply have nothing better to do. Last month there was a big deal in Los Angeles about lap dancing. The state faces a 30 billion dollar deficit, has the highest unemployment of all the top 10 tech states, has a big illegal immigrant problem, has had the worst wildfires in it's history and the powers that be worry about lap dancing and computer terminology. To this bunch I say:

DOWN ON YOUR KNEES! CRACK!!!

Fuck political correctness!

[DigiShaman]

Seriously. From this day forward, I will make GOD DAMN sure that I never say anything that would be politically correct. So if you niggas have a problem with that, you can take it up with this white cracka. Bitchlap and out

Losers, The Stars and Bars & LA Sex Shops

First of all, the civil war was more about taxes than slavery. The idea that the civil war was fought to free the slaves is Politically Correct bullshit.

When the Stars and Bars are raised, most know that there will be racist overtones ascribed by some

Unfortunately, this also includes some of the people who fly the stars and bars. Do we need to be sensitive to them too? Or should we recognize the stars and bars for what it really is. A symbol of the Confederacy, and the fact that they got their asses kicked! They were the losers, and when you fly that flag all you are saying is "Look at me! I'm a loser!" So lets get over the PC bullshit, leave behind the victim mentality and no longer look at the stars and bars as a symbol of oppression, but a symbol of losers.

"Loser! Loser!"

Or would that be insensitive? :)

But then "The South" were victims too. Victims of taxation, and victims of economics. Rascisim is just a red hering for poor white trash to make them feel better about themselves, rather than feeling like victims or losers.

And what does all this have to do wyyyith LA Sex shops anyway? And is this about Los Angelas or Louisiana? I'm hungry. I could sure go for some fried catfish and hushpuppies right now. But I like rice with my fish too. Whatever.
