Over the past few years, I’ve been hearing a lot of people change how they refer to the founders of the United States. In order to be politically correct, people are now referring to our Founding Fathers as our “Framers.” If we call them our fathers, it’s offensive because it excludes women. I think this is going to a bit of an extreme. There aren’t any women who are included among the “framers,” so I think that Founding Fathers is acceptable. What do you all think?

This is just more of this political correctness crap. Honestly, the term Found Fathers doesn’t mean that we are trying to exclude any women who might of helped with creating our country, we just acknowledge the fact that there were a group of people (majority men) who created this country.
People should just get over this nonsense, as there is better stuff to debate over.

Oh, it gets worse! I guess some guy is suing the U.S. government because NASA uses the term “black hole” to refer to a star that has imploded upon itself. He says that it’s racist. He also is complaining that Angel food cake is white, but devil’s food cake is chocolate. Even cake is racist!

Isn’t a black hole though… black? And there white holes too… and I guess those would be white… not 100% of what color they might be though…
Anyways… black people are is most cases not black anyways… they are brown (truth, not racist). So, I mean, I can see how some situations could be seen as maybe racist, but the above no… and the sexist thing I still stand firm on, I mean… every picture I have seen consist of mainly men (even though seriously I haven’t study the pictures to make sure and all).
