Stop WAR in Ukraine ! http://twitter.com/@euromaidan PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats, but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are encouraged to read the complete guidelines. As entertainment critic Roger Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Gone With the Wind" gone from the Orpheum Theater in downtown Memphis. This is getting crazy. And a lot of season ticket holders are not happy and say they won't be back. It will be sad if this beautiful venue closes due to lack of attendance after this decision. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/movies/wind-pulled-theater-due-racial-content-article-1.3446989

1. "Wrong!"

To rewrite history. I don't like the fact that any Confederate statues are removed, either. They are all a part of American history.

It's a long and slippery slope when we start removing everything that that offends anyone. A lot of high schools, streets, and probably towns are named after confederate generals.
I would think that native americans would be sensitive to any tributes to Andrew Jackson who was an unrepentant slave owner as well as the trail of tears guy who forcibly relocated Cherokees et.al. westward (and I for one am not going to burn up my $20 dollar bills). Or Union General Sherman who used eradication of the buffalo herds to starve Native Americans who depended on them into submission.
And there are a lot of people who are offended by MLK statues, streets, schools, etc. It's only a matter of time before those and every other historical reference has to be removed because of the oversensitive PC nature of placating one group or another.
History is history. If someone wants to put up a Hitler statue in a lawful way, let them. If someone else objects, let them dispute it and try to get it removed legally. If someone wants to fly a Confederate flag, let them.
We have a constitutionally protected right to freedom of expression, and we should fight to preserve that right for everyone, not just for those with whom we agree.

Indeed, history is history (and sometimes herstory), but some people insist on making history no story. Let the old statues stand as they had for decades with pigeons dropping on them, let the old classic movies screen where they have for years while couples make out in the theater seats, let what was in the past remain in the past which most people already forget rather than make a present-day issue out of it.

But putting up that Adoph statue in Germany is a crime, ya know.

Is this that "Adolph" we read about in books? Maybe false news, according to the new kids on the block. You can now pass through the school system here with only a "D" grade..

Much to my surprise, my 8th grade daughter's teachers told us during parent-teacher open-house that they hand back subpar homework and allow students to make corrections, as well as retake tests that they did poorly on, until they get a good grade.
There's really no excuse for getting at least a B.
A high percentage of her classmates (and her, too!) are 4.0 GPA students. Back in my day, maybe only one or two students could pull that off (not me, either, I was a 3.5'er).

Bumping. Wish we could bump ourselves off the list that seems to be circulating.
