It makes sense that Trump could be seen as a shrewd businessman by voters. Of course, in my view, a president should not be playing the IRS. Or lie his way through life by being ‘shrewd’. But that’s just my viewpoint. ;p
Oh gawd, a racist rock. The funny thing is, it became racist by being called racist names (?) by someone else, which should be obvious since a rock cannot call itself anything. And yet, it is deemed offensive. If someone calls me racist, does that make it so?
I grew up with this odd idea that universities were supposed to *educate* people. To me, that means logical thinking and questioning my own thoughts and ideas, amongst other things. Having a university simply agree with everything would be disappointing to me if I were a student. The point is to be taught how to think, analyze, and in this case, relate fiction to fact.
But I guess the rock is not the only one being judged for its ancient history for which it is not at fault.
Sexualized sauce. Ahem. I can see how someone might drag a sexualized meaning out of the jerk sauce label if they try really, really...... *hard*, but am at a loss for the pho sauce. And did the complainant take those pictures herself?
The scariest part is not that someone would do this, but that it works. Large numbers of people are willing to follow anyone who points a finger, at just about anything, without ever sparing a moment to think for themselves.
It seems educational institutions that teach critical thinking are needed more than ever.
