Dupe - http://www.videosift.com/video/Raffaele-de-Rosa-Outrageous-save-at-Mugello

Sorry mate-
pretty much the same thing (same footage of the knee-riding-recovery, merely different commentary) was already sifted recently: http://www.videosift.com/video/Raffaele-de-Rosa-Outrageous-save-at-Mugello

I'd say it's a dupe, because the center story remains the same.

Spoco, at first I was with you here, but that's what the "private" box is for. That's the sub rosa variable when we want to talk to somebody in private, or exercise our right to be a drunken idiot.

It is kind of fun to "over hear" what other people are talking about.

Mate, i think you've completely misread my post.

I'm saying that political correctness (ie. the need to enforce "black history month", the need to force people to say "chalk board" instead of "black board") is, i would say in most cases, counter-active to racial equality. And that's what morgan freeman is saying.

Racial equality is when no one even thinks about the need for black history month. To draw one's own connotations of racism from any use of the word "black" and ban it as a result is counter productive.

What i suggest IS treating others with respect. I hope i'm clearer now, i'm sure we're talking about the same thing.

I'm sure we agree on this matter and this is a misunderstanding, otherwise i don't understand your viewpoint at all!

I've always said this for years, as long as we have political correctness - ie. the need to enforce necessary AND UNNECESSARY changes to how we communicate - racism will never be gone. You draw attention to racism and i would say encourage racism by kicking up a fuss when someone demands that we use "chalkboard" for "blackboard".
This world has enough problems with racism without searching for it around every corner. Something that a lot of activists fail to realise.


I knew these words were going to be forced into some kind of conservative political ideological mold.

Morgan Freeman isn't suggesting we ignore racism. After all, MLK, Malcolm X and Rosa Parks' 'fuss kicking' brought equal rights under the law to everyone. Freeeman is merely saying that black history should be included as a year-round part of American history, and not relegated to the shortest month of the year.

Also, I don't get people who have such a huge problem with treating others with respect. Is the social pressure to say Asian instead of oriental really that oppressive to you?

That's Lotte Lenya, famous Austrian/German actress best known to Americans as Rosa Kleb in James Bond movies.

She became a sensation in pre-war Germany for her role in "The Threepenny Opera."

I've heard a lot about her, but that's the first time I ever saw her singing.

Currently reading "The Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Women Who Started It: The Memoir of Jo Ann Gibson Robinson," for a Women's History class. It's actually really interesting. This woman single-handedly started the bus boycott after hearing about the Rosa Parks incident. She and two of her students (she was a professor at the university there) printed up thousands of brochures announcing a one-day boycott and passed them out to every black person in Montgomery. Everybody thinks Dr. King was behind it all - he wasn't. He ended up being elected the leader of the movement, but he was very much against starting it. He also, during his "I Have A Dream" speech, barred women from the stage.

Learn new things every day. I have a paper due on it on Wednesday, actually. I might post it here for comments.

Though this is a more complex situation, what he was doing was something similar to Rosa Parks sitting in the front of the bus.

Their rules are wrong, and he decided to not play by them. They have power on their side, but they do not have justice on their side. I don't know if the people of that area are ready to stand together against this sort of flagrant abuse of the justice system, but this is the only way to start change. Stand against them when they are wrong.

For the record homosexuality was officially removed from the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostics and Statistics manual as being a disease that needed curing in 1973. Up to that point hundreds if not thousands of psychiatrists had sought to figure out exactly what it was that led to homosexuality. I would argue that not one came to a definitive answer simply because there isn't one. Homosexuality is an act of nature no different than the butterfly or the duckbilled platypus. That's not to say that it's grotesque as much as it's to say that it's just as weird and beautiful as anything else that nature has produced.
In regards to James Eslick and Jake Rowe how is this any different from a Rosa Parks or a freedom rider? That's not to say that their acts are comparable as much as it's to say that their sentiments are. When is it ever convenient to stand up against the status quo and power? Sure they could've been married days before the vote but then who would they have left behind?
As for the eia argument I think I have history on my side. Starting with the fertile crescent humans have existed and lived in communities on earth for roughly 8,000 years and since the dawn of civilization homosexuals have been right there with the rest of the population. Now if the homosexual really was the undoing of the human race and the cause of our extinction why has the earth's population only continued to grow since then? We have grown from a few thousand living in the desert to 6.5 billion inhabiting the entire planet. Those gays sure have impeded our progress haven't they?

Last night, Hope and Possibility Kissed. This morning, the Nation blushed....


Rosa Parks sat down so that Martin Luther King, Jr. could stand up and march.
Martin Luther King Jr. stood up and marched so that Barack Obama could run.
Barack Obama ran so that future generations could fly...

Check out Colorado's ballot. Apparently it is easy to run for president there.
By the way, expect long lines in CO and OH. The CO ballot is insane, and OH voters will have a ton to vote on. THREE pages.
