Our DA, Robert Morganthau, said that in NYC “people call other people douchebags all the time.” This was in response to a potential juror getting a contempt citation becasue he called the defendant a douchebag.
Most of these cyclists are both jerks and douchebags.
“I would gladly be in favor of reperations if…we could get rid of affirmative action.”
Very different issues, DCB. Affirmative action is about making things right today (whether or not you believe it’s the right way to do so). Reparations are about paying for the sins of the dead.
Ok you know what’s an AWESOME show. Its on that “Man channel” that shows all the ultimate fighting etc
I think it’s called “The Ultimate Warrior” where you might find a Samurai fighting a Viking or Maori fighting Shaka Zula and it depicts all these different cultures and their respective “warriors”. It kinda just proves that all cultures had vicious members whether for protection of power, but some cultures just had better organization skills to take it to the next level to really take over another people on a grand scale

this is why i have a problem accepting my whiteness. im sorry, but i am not taking responsibility for ANYONE’s actions.
black people, asian people, hispanic people, are JUST AS BAD AS WHITE PEOPLE!
seriously, tell me, as a “white” man what specifically am i supposed to do to take action. puh-lease. fix your own damn mess.
sorry i hope doesnt sound racist, but it’s how i feel. i love everyone equally, but ill be damned if im taking responsibility for other peoples social ills that i’ve done nothing to cause.
“the wrongs of our past will continure to trouble us until the majority (white men specifically) acknowledges there is a problem and actively participate in bringing about change”
Total rubbish. Women have had so much more power over the years than PC professors who tumbled out of the ’60s into acedemia let you believe. The hand that rocks the cradle sort of thing. You have to believe that men and women are fundamentally the same before you can believe that white men have been responsible for all of the world’s problems. They aren’t the same. Powerful men have been influenced by powerful women since sex began.
And to believe that it’s all whitey’s fault is likewise total rubbish. Surely I don’t need to start listing all of the non-white tyrants of the world to make this point.
I hated college because it was full of professors like this. And none of them really understood what they were saying. They just kind of parroted the latest feminist literary interpretation.
Ditto Ishtar’s 3:11. As I said before, why the hell should there be some built-in explanation as to how my black ass got to be here? I was born in Chicago. If you wanna call me a Chicago-American, I’ll take that. Otherwise, I’m just a black woman, an American.

“demanding an apology from the NYC DOT, because—according to the blog—”The NYCDOT Calls Cyclists Jerks in Email!””
I call people jerks in email all the time and they never take offense.

Hola again losers 🙂
The DOT should take out a full page ad in the Times informing cyclists that a great number of them are indeed jerks.
