Well, for the most part those are being given by a bunch of kids who have never been to Paris and just think Paris = love and classy. So they don't really do anything other than stick a fake Eiffel Tower in the middle of the gym. (I am assuming you are talking about Paris the city, not Paris Hilton's tape. That would be a fun prom theme.)

Ditto. As the article got more and more ridiculous, I had visions of the scene in Frankenstein when the villagers storm the castle holding pitchforks and torches. "Down with the Alpha Chi Alphas and Tri Deltas!!!"

But the saddest thing in the article to me was this line, which is the way of the world now

That is, of course, unless you are making fun of WASPs or Catholics... Then it's perfectly ok:rolleyes:

That might depend on who's making fun of the WASPs or Catholics.

LOL!

"Screw your feeling honored!!!"

It's the good adviiiiice that you just didn't take:)

And what the hecks the deal with pinching people who aren't wearing green on St. Patrick's Day!!! I'm Irish, and to use my people's holiday as an excuse to enact physical harm on others in simply inexcusalbe. I WON'T HAVE IT!!!!

Do you really believe race to be a real construct?

edit: Yes, I know Catholic and Protestant aren't "races", they're religions.

However, you seem to think that being "Native American" has substance. When do they stop being Native America and start being white? Or vice versa?

Race isn't a real and tangible thing, but I'm sure you'd love it to be.

Yes. We aren't born with it but society gives it to us. If it has real consequences, it is real. Similar to that chair you are sitting in that you were TOLD is a chair. It would take a lot for you to convince everyone that it's really a horse. But as time goes on and more people change the definition of chair to horse, and stop profiting from the chair industry, we might be able to eradicate chairs. :)

Now don't ask me anymore dumb questions.

Three engineers are sitting in a pub arguing the nature of God. Thus far they have been able to agree only that God is undoubtedly an engineer, but can't agree on which kind.

The mechanical engineer argues that God must be a mechanical engineer because the body is a complex system of levers and pulleys, magnifying forces generated by contracting muscles.

The electrical engineer argues that the body is dependent on a central processing unit and nervous system, transmitting electrical impulses which ultimately control everything.

The civil engineer listens to this with interest, and says "you both make persuasive arguments, but it's obvious that God was a civil engineer."

"How so?" reply his confused colleagues.

"Who else but a civil engineer would run a sewage line through a recreation area?"

hahaha, good one!

I don't think anyone would mean Paris, TN - unless they really, really liked catfish (this is World's Largest Fish Fry weekend. Sigh. Some things I won't miss about TN . . . )

Really? Come to Detroit.

Detroit's in Ireland?

How did I miss Detroit in my visit to Ireland last summer??? I can't even find it on the map!:rolleyes:

And I wonder how this goes so far from the situation at hand about GPB?

I love the Sisterhood of some of the GPB and how they are treated and act.:rolleyes:

So when we go back to the Sisters of GPB and the American Indian, when does Al Sharpton, and Jessie Jackson come to the fore for them?:rolleyes:

Oh, I know, they won't, they are of a redish pigmentation.:p
