I've been thinking about the recent discussion about "opinions" and the Imus case comes to mind as an example, an extreme example for sure...but an example none the less.


Here's a link to one of the many stories about this issue

Because it is all in good fun and gosh darn it sometimes it's just good to be able to laugh at oneself.

Repeating something over and over again isn't going to cause people(the smart ones anyway) to believe it.

Most people recognize that "clumsiness" isn't a trait exclusive to a certain hair color.

Why you are hell bent on making this an issue is really beyond me.

Your questions are nonsensical. Unless any of us are omniscient we can't hear every conversation that takes place in an elementary school. Why don't you ask your kids if they hear kids tease each other based on appearance? It's really obvious that the answer is going to be yes.

Um, yes I do recognize it.

It's a joke! Do you believe that all jokes should be based on true statements or something?

Are you asking me if stereotypes are funny or stating that's the reason you use this one in your jokes?
