#10 White Liberals cancelled Speedy Gonzales because they thought he was offensive. Mexicans have always loved him and hated when he was no longer on television.

Annie,

White liberals love to speak for others and get offended for them. They're almost always wrong. Hence, their desire to control everyone that won't comply with their worldview.

Thom,
Like Conservatives don't try to control everyone one too? Everyone wants to push their worldviews on everyone else, it's not just Liberals (or conservatives). There's no such thing as a moderate anymore there's no debate, either you agree with someone or you're wrong and evil...

Madie,

This is true. There's almost no middle ground anymore. If you claim to be liberal, you're automatically bunched in with all the whiny SJWs on twitter. If you're conservative, you're automatically one of the treasonous radicals who stormed the Capitol.
Each side is constantly belittling the other and trying to force their opinions on those who think even slightly differently. Some of the founding fathers, like Washington and Franklin, tried to warn of the dangers of bipartisanism. It's worse now than it's ever been, and there's no signs of matters improving.
It's pretty damn frightening, if you ask me.

Madie,

White liberals:
1) 'advocate' for blacks demanding affirmative action and reparations - implying that blacks are incapable of competing head-to-head with any other race
2) demand no one have guns - except for criminals who, by definition, will not turn over their guns
3) demand that men pretending to be women be allowed in women's private spaces and compete with them in sports - despite women's objections
4) dictate what light bulbs you can use, cars you can drive, ovens you can buy, food you can eat, medicines you MUST take
... and on & on & on...

#6 Mentally deficient? Nah, retarded. Little person? Nah, midget. African American? Nah, uh... black dude. Sex worker? Nah, hooker. Prostitute. Wh#re. Call duck a duck, man, calling it a water fowl doesn't change anything.
Offended? That sounds like a you problem, and I see no reason why I should give a sh#t.

#25 Pi is an irrational number. You could literally compute the digits until the end of time and you would never find a pattern, ever. Never. That's what an irrational number is.
