Sure, but he posted mean messages on their Facebook wall, which probably didnt help.

I'm sure you are going to post about how you are bothered by....

this, then, right? Considering he's said it a thousand times and it doesnt even make any sense or have any relevance to reality whatsoever?

Geographical discrimination will never be "solved" (is it even really a problem?). For as long as people from Alabama continue to inbreed, I will look down on them condescendingly from my elitist perch on the west coast. That would be like asking Canadians to stop making fun of Newfies. Or asking the rest of the world to stop making jokes about the French.

The fact that you even said "in Alabama" as if the reaction your friend would encounter there would be different than elsewhere in the USA indicates you're aware that things are different there.

But you were talking about racial discrimination, amirite?

Just a PSA for this thread brought to you by the rock band Living Colour:

Neon lights, a Nobel prize
The mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You don't have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I'm the smiling face on your t.v.
I'm the cult of personality
I exploit you still you love me

I tell you one and one makes three
I'm the cult of personality
Like Joseph Stalin and Ghandi
I'm the cult of personality
Cult of personality
Cult of personality

Hey I heard there was a gay marriage measure on the ballot in California, how did that work out?

Colbert was awesome on making fun of the Peace Prize.

"So how big of a time difference is there? If it's 10am here, is it like, last November there?"

Today they instituted a new MVP of the Month recognition award where I work and gave the first one out.

Everyone was joking saying they expected Obama to win it.

If the goal was to turn the Nobel Prize into a laughing stock

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

LOL they had mass riots over race 2 years ago.

I could be wrong, but isn't racism a bigger problem, today, in mainland Europe then in the southern US? I don't necessarily mean that a higher percentage of people harbor racist thoughts or anything like that. It could just be that they are more vocal about it or something.

I hooked up with a girl who was from Orange County this summer in an effort to ease tensions between the south and California. Where do I send my Nobel Prize application to?

On a side note, she was easily in my top five hottest girls I've ever hooked up with. They must be doing inbreeding right out there.

Nah. I routinely use Britain to refer to any and all countries in Europe, or worse case, even Europe itself.

I just happened to be reading that article when you posted what you did.
