Piggy banks banned on Muslim fears

[PornoDoggy]

Sigh.

A financial institution not using "piggy banks" as promotions strikes me as kind of dumb.

A separate refrigerator to keep Islamic children's food away from "unclean" food doesn't strike me as terribly unreasonable, however. That could be because I came from a right-wing Christian Republican suburban community that saw fit to do that for the 25+ Jewish children spread out over 18 grade schools, 3 junior highs, and 1 high school some 30+ years ago.

I part company with people when contact with reality is broken. "[i]ts getting to the point where women's rights activists don't seem to be fighting for equality anymore and instead are pushing for female dominance..." is an excellent example. Idiocy is an equal opportunity feature that has most certainly struck some members of the feminist community, the gay community, every religious community I am aware of with more than 4 members, ad nausem. The fact that some of the idiots advocate extreme positions shouldn't be used to tar entire movements, genders, races, religions, classes of people, etc.

I, for one, am no fan of politically correct language. I don't believe that children should be taught that Christopher Columbus perpetrated crimes against humanity. I also believe that children should be taught that much of what Christopher Columbus did would be considered crimes against humanity if committed today. The same standard should be applied when teaching about European (ALL European - Anglo, French, Spanish, and Portugese) interaction with aboriginals on both continents of the Western Hemisphere.

I don't give a fuck if they ban saying Merry Christmas in schools or government offices. Santa's representation of commercialism run amuck and the gimme mentality offends me far more.
