I Think evil is being discussed here. Why don't we discuss the greatest evil ever invented by mankind: The Fiduciary Duty. The FD REQUIRES a company to steal by every means it can devise. It requires the company to find a method to make their product addictive. It requires that their product be made to break. It requires the company to pollute. It requires the company to lie and say it products are safe when they are dangerous and defective. It makes greed look like charity. If it is filthy vile and underhanded that is standard operating procedure. It makes politics look tame. Why would a people ever permit a news organization to have a Fiduciary Duty? If it has one it can't remain a news organization. Sooner or later, the naked greed profit motive that is the FD will invade the newsroom and push out journalistic ethics. |

@Anniet, while I do not doubt your explanation or sourcing,I recommend for a moment you do, JE... yes. Because he's a retired crane-operator who has always enjoyed fishing and then took up photography before penning cartoons - so not quite what I first said. I've gotta agree with Dull on this one.I had to roll that last one through a search engine to be sure exactly what you were talking about :( I don't think I disagreed with him there. Nor am I disagreeing with you now, because it would be offensive. Perhaps it just wasn't very clear from the links I posted. But when African-Americans barely make up one per cent of anglers in the USA and the participation figures for other non-Caucasians not being much higher either, to have made that cartoon in the way you've both now suggested... how could it not have been offensive? But I do see the point you're making here: White males have become one of the only 'non-protected' classes of discrimination in the US. And if wearing a hat supporting the President of the United States they are subject to confrontation, assault, violence and ridicule.It's horrible isn't it? Being a target of others based on appearance/clothing. So many groups before yours have walked that path too :( But if I'd realised Dull would self-identify not just himself, but other Donald Trump supporters, with it, then I would not have used it. I can only offer my sincere apologies to you both. I have asked for my post of the cartoon to be hidden. I will leave it up to Clyde what he wishes to do about his use of it. He appears to have known all along it was everything you and Dull have said though, and is in agreement with you both, so perhaps that's ok, I don't know. Anyway... in the meantime... any future posts of baited fish hooks... I'm going to be taking this advice ...and just hope I'm not offending any body-piercing fans out there... |

For instance you wish someone "Happy Holidays" and they take offense. We need to teach about 2 semesters of tolerance in the school system to graduate. |

To paraphrase a famous Yank: You can offend all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot offend all the people all the time. |

Caucasians? Is that a race like mongoloids and negroids?Apply 'blackface' or brown shades, or mongoloid eye fold, and the axe would quickly fall on that cartoon.I had to roll that last one through a search engine to be sure exactly what you were talking about :( I don't think I disagreed with him there. Nor am I disagreeing with you now, because it would be offensive. Perhaps it just wasn't very clear from the links I posted. But when African-Americans barely make up one per cent of anglers in the USA and the participation figures for other non-Caucasians not being much higher either, to have made that cartoon in the way you've both now suggested... how could it not have been offensive? Why does the US still use this term and mainly in the law enforcement? Personally I would get very offended being called a Caucasian! |

@ Anniet.........honestly, I misinterpreted your cartoon post as being a jab at the stereotype white southern US male hillbilly by the brutish depiction and the dialog. It escaped me you were indicating baiting. Shame on me. Jumping to unwarranted conclusions (probably due to over-sensitivity to perceived insults engendered by the current atmosphere of this thread), is what I've accused others of. My sincere apology for the misinterpretation, but the point of the rising tide of intolerance in the US is no less valid and as Clyde has repeatedly stated consumes both sides of every issue now. There is now very little 'civil' debate, everything degenerates into argument and polarity. Trump is identified as being divisive but I think that has been going on for much longer. The 'race card' was played repeatedly and without apology from 2006 onward and I believe much of the progress made to limit or eliminate discrimination since 1965 has been eroded in the last 12 years. America has always been a 'melting pot' of cultures with the product being a more or less homogeneous citizenry with a shared dream of the future. But there is little melting done these days with the various enclaves of this or that culture (including White Anglo Saxon Protestant) becoming insulated from each other. When we formed this Union, the first casualty in the war was a person 'of color'. Divide and conquer has been a strategy of conquest since ug walked out of the cave and coveted his neighbor's property. And the US is playing right into the hands of it's competitors by engaging in such division. I relinquish the soapbox. "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> |

I found out many things about myself and humanity in those weeks of effort behind Mordet Island. I understand now the heart of the sweater, of the harsh employer, of the n****r-driver. I had brought these men into a danger they didn’t understand, I was fiercely resolved to overcome their opposition and bend and use them for my purpose, and I hated the men. But I hated all humanity during the time that the quap was near me. H. G. Wells. Tono-Bungay ******************************************************************* FEAR dA QUAP.
