PC Out of Control. Obama Signs New Law

[Unholyground]

And black people are more of a dark chocolately brown.

But hey, we approximate.

I guess for a lot of people like me, we just like other cultures and peoples regardless of "race", sure some people look different, but honestly everyone looks different regardless of race.

Well people did say 'Bless you' because they believed sneezing causes the soul to escape the body through the nose and it would stop the devil from claiming that freed soul.... I wouldn't be surprised if Orlong made this leap of 'logic'.

Thats when you respond, "I never said anything about him being black, I said I didn't like his policies." and hook them in their own knee jerk reaction.

Oh, how very ironic...

At this point it will clearly be cheaper to just build a time machine, and go back to make sure those words were never used in the first place. Messing with space-time is CLEAR government overreach! You gone too far dis time Obama!

[Espe]

This isn't even about PC, it's about using modern language so shit makes sense to new people working in the system. Get over it.

That wouldn't suit their victim complex and nearly decade long tantrum over Obama being elected.

I am in favor of small government that does not toy with the space time continuum.

[Nnyco]

Why are we blaming Obama for this? This law would've had to pass both Republican-controlled wings of legislature to even get to his desk. If you're angry about this law, you should vote for Hillary.

because people need someone to blame

This isn't that big a deal. I bet all the documents are PDFs in computers anyway. All they have to do is use text recognition for each word and then replace it with a new word. It wouldn't be THAT hard. However, this doesn't affect people's live in any way. This is only a PR move by Obama. The minorities probably don't even have access to these documents anyway so it seems kind of a waste of time. Doesn't "negro" just mean black in Spanish? Oriental isn't offensive either. I was actually reading the site for a prospective asian grocery store (owned by Asians) interested in leasing a space and they used the word "oriental" to describe their food. Negro and Oriental aren't/shouldn't be offensive words.

A lot of people in the thread are guessing that they're just updating the language of the laws being affected by this change. Also both House and Senate voted for this bill unanimously so it isn't a PR move solely by Obama (unless House and Senate sent the bill up expecting it to be vetoed).

Isn't Orlong a federal paper pusher?

I bet he's really mad that he'll actually have work to do now.

I thought he was on the dole.

[Garnier Fructis]

I thought he was on the dole.

I'm all sorts of confused. Either possibility is funny though, given his politics.

[Kalis]

I thought he was on the dole.

Dole money would not keep him in the lifestyle he is accustomed to, those welding goggles ain't cheap.


They probably are.

Wait, he's a welder now?

[Kalis]

Wait, he's a welder now?

No, he just wears welding goggles.

[Eviscero]

His total lack of understanding of how laws are enacted is consistent with his support of Trump.

[Elegiac]

No, he just wears welding goggles.

Swear to christ my autobiography is going to be titled 'Guide for the Perplexed'.

[Vynny]

... or it doesn't make sense because Orlong is making it up... Don't trust what random people post on the Internet...

I was kidding around . . . I know, sarcasm doesn't come across well over text, so that's my bad.

Orlong has a light sensitivity condition, or something like that, so he wears welding goggles. It is not unusual.


Okay, it is unusual, but #JustOrlongThings

Oh, arcburn.

Someone should tell him sunglasses do the same thing and are more fashionable.

If I remember correctly he also has severe germophobia. There's even a thread where he wouldn't take blood if it was from a homosexual though I think that's something else.
