Obama and Ramadan.
Please read my post Riku. And if you still don't see what I'm saying -- I'm not. I did. I'm not seeing what's so wrong about recognizing the Islamic religion on one of their holidays. They're getting a feast and a speech, not that big of a deal. Yes it is that big of a deal. I urge you to read the transcript of his speech or watch a few videos. Here is one such article : Article 1 How is it a big deal? Nothing has changed!

Why are you complaining about Muslims celebrating Ramadan? I see nothing wrong here.

I don't get the big deal with energy drinks. I had green Monster and it didn't do anything to me. THAT TOO! But I don't drink a lot of caffeine and water. I live off of milk, water, and occasionally a Dr. Pepper. I feel sorry for the kids I see drinking a few coffees a day, maybe a couple Monsters. They're gonna have a lot of heart stress, and at best a horrifying caffeine addiction. Why do people like energy drinks anyways? They taste like [cabbage] and 6 hours of sleep is enough to stay awake for all the daytime hours!

Obama Plans 'Inspirational' Speech Sept 8 to Students
We may or may not watch it. We watched his inauguration in class last year so it's a maybe. Is this speech aimed at high school, middle school, or elementary school kids?

The N-word, is it actually offensive?
Yeah, "would". I've seen no example of that. But I see you've run out of arguments since you're starting to get personal. You probably see it as not a nice thing to do. Well I don't care, since I've grown up in a place were I've been taught to see people with other skin colours as my peers, and therefore don't see why I can't use certain words while people from other races can. It's been a few hundred years ago. Nobody has witnessed it, nobody experienced.. we all just know because it's in the books. Get over yourself and stop playing the victim. Or, if you still blame whites for the enslavery of the blacks.. well, congratulations, you are now free to take the boat back to Africa. Why do you want to use the word so badly? Just because somebody else used it you want to? Come on man! You sound like the kid who complains about the other children's ice cream being bigger except you have less of a reason. You have no reason to call somebody you don't know the N-word except to insult them. [/hide] Riku hit it on the head. In the end, why are you evening debating about this. Just don't say the word. Simple. That's not the point. It's completely idiotic that the word is even deemed offensive today. If I was offended by the word "soap" and said that no one could say it, I'm sure someone would call me on my [cabbage]. That's all I'm doing. 'Soap' doesn't have a deep-rooted racist meaning to it though, does it? Maybe it does. Maybe my ancestors were called "soap" because of their white skin. Everyone should respect my wishes because it offends me to hear it and I get very angry. Got proof? A journal declaring their hardships? A letter to home stating how miserable they are? I'd call BS on that even if it sounded legit.

The N-word, is it actually offensive?
I do plan on taking any scholarships/discounts/whatever I can because of my skin color. It'd be stupid to not take it! I don't see a problem with the word. Maybe people who are older than 35 have a true right to take offence to the word but anyone under are usually the ones calling each other that. I don't really give a damn if someone calls me the N-word.

Marvel = RIP?
Unless Mickey Mouse starts making appearances in comics I'm fine. On the other hand KH3 could be even more awesome now...

Didn't you say your school has one of the highest STD rates in the country? Are you sure you want to be shopping around for girls that go to your school? Also blocked scheduling is great for homework. I only have 4 classes a day and one of them is band so that means only 3 classes with homework!

Is the quality of food declining?
I wish I had that luxury. I only eat whatever is cheap. You can eat like a king cooking and preparing your own food that's much more healthy for you rather than spending craptons of money (a day's worth of food costs less than the average fast food combo) on greasetraps. Do you make your food from scratch or is it canned/frozen/boxed?

When did Dietrich say he liked DBZ or Naruto? You're just throwing out other equally rediculos examples.
