Find me any person who grew up in the South in the 50's and 60's who hasn't used a word that was used during normal conversation then, that would be considered offensive now. You can't. So what.
Let's get to the real meat of the issue......somebody wants money. Pure and simple. The best way they think they can get it is to play the race card.

i grew up in the South during that time and my parents wouldve washed my mouth out with soap if i ever used the N-word....
so not all white Southerners grew up with that word being somehow "ok"

If you fit the definition, guess what you is? (and I'll tell you in a heartbeat without any "PC" BS). I'm amazed that those who deem themselves the right to not be offended will be offensive to enforce them. Act a fool and I'll call you a fool....

posted @ Wednesday, June 19, 2013 - 20:24from what I've read Deens brother is much worse... a living stereotype of trailer trash...their PR will be even worse when his comments/behavior come out, esp since Paula backed him all the way
she shouldve settled this quietly..

Well I'm not backing Paula Deen on anything. She's a fake and a hypocrite all the way through. I'm not judging her suspected behavior from way back but the low class stuff she feels entitled to get away with today on any given show.

OK...what's the problem here? Isn't it time we begin to ask some hard questions and let the chips fall where them may. Why can't we hire competent people in the Juvenile Justice system? What is the employment application and vetting process? Is to much attention given to a good ol boy network? Does Affirmative Action come into play? Are we too interested in diversity and not quality? Or are there no more competent and honest people out there and this is the new normal?

He could say he didn't inhale. That worked for Clinton. Or, he could claim to have no knowledge of the video, and that the first he heard about it was from the news media. When asked, he could respond, "I don't know", or "I'm not sure", or "Ummmm...uhhh", or, he could take the Canadian version of the Fifth Amendment, and refuse to answer on the grounds that it might incriminate him.
Why not?
Let this guy join the rousing chorus of "I don't have any direct knowledge" that seems to be echoing from every government agency here in Washington. Why not just make it unanimous?

posted @ Thursday, May 2, 2013 - 13:03I know many seem to enjoy sitting in smug judgement of others but the facts are the homeless are not the stereotypes many here portray...
-- 20-25% suffer from severe mental illness...our mental health "system" basically medicates people and throws them back on the street
--as high as 40% are families with children, who have lost their homes/jobs
--200,000+ (20-25%) are veterans
I would encourage folks to remember these facts before casting judgement on all homeless...remember John Bradford's words about the heart of being a Christian: "there but for the grace of God go I"

Why does the homosexual people in the US (which is less than 2% of the population) feel they need to announce what their sexual preference is ??? As for myself, I could give a rats a## what anyone does in their own bedroom. What will be the next group, people who have sex with chickens, sex with squirrels, cars, bats, blue jays, rocks, mudholes, bees, bears, cheetahs, kangaroos, giraffes, pine trees ect.....
Who gives a dan what you choose to do in your house......insanity, plain & simple...........shut up & enjoy your life outside the spotlight.

given that every time there is a story about gays you choose to post the same hate-driven drivel ("sex with chickens" etc), I'd say you CLEARLY "give a rats a## "...

As a huge Backstreet Boys fan, I was little perplexed on reading Nick Carter?s book. It?s not like reading a book about Elvis Presley or The Beatles. I didn?t live through those moments. I didn?t see them in person. But as someone who has followed Nick?s career since I became a fan in 1998, not just in the Backstreet Boys, but as a solo artist, I?ve always thought we had a lot in common besides being the same age. read more

The Athens Banner-Herald sports staff combined to win 11 individual awards on Sunday at the Georgia Sports Writers Association's annual meeting in Marietta. You can get a few more details on that in this story ? "Banner-Herald sports staff wins 11 awards" ? and I thought I'd provide some links to the winning stories for the curious. The awards were for the sports staff's work in 2012. read more
