Double standards

    I am always amused by how we have double standards all over the place.

    If a man has sex outside marriage, that is okay, if a woman does it, she is a slut.

    If a woman kills an unborn baby, that is okay, if a man does it, that is murder.

    If a black uses the the "N" word, that is okay, but if a white does it, that is racism.

    If Muslims pray in public schools, that is okay, if a christian prays in a public school, that is bad.




    Can anyone else give some examples?

    When a white sportscaster used a reference to "lynching" during a conversation about a black man she is labeled a racist and should be fired, but if the conversation were about a white person it would have gone unnoticed.

    Sharpton claims it had nothing to do with Tiger, it's about the word itself, but I truly believe if it was about a white golfer or whatever, it would never have been an issue.

    eddo I don't like you.

    If a woman wants to wear a pink strapless evening gown out on the town, she is glamorous. If a man does it, he is a freak.

    Perhaps to some people.

    To others, he is a damn fine example of a man. Eddie Izzard and Dr. Frankenfurter are two of the sexiest men ever, in my humble opinion.

    Goodness Eddo, you have a point there.


    A rather large, protruding point.


    Quick, grab the nearest fascinator!

    Unfortunately I can't speak for anyone else.

    Ooh, snap!

    I've heard that Hillary is slowly making a comeback. Is there a site where you can follow the election properly? I've just been hanging on news articles.

    Wow, a great example of a double standard.

    A woman wishing to be President cried in public from the "stress" and she gets a boost with the voters, does anyone believe a man could have gotten away with this?



    Anyway, it was fake, Hillary is 100% created by advisors and speach writers, if she gets elected, I say kick her to the side and let the advisors and writers take over.

    A double standard?

    When police speed like mad f*ck while driving their patrol car off duty. I hate this. My brother proclaims this to be a "perk". It either is, or is not, dangerous to exceed the speed limit. If they feel so righteous in handing out $120 tickets for speeding because of the inherent danger of driving fast, they should set the example by not doing it themselves. I'm sorry but, the 6 hour course they take on driving doesn't make them exempt from causing accidents. Nor does it make them any more skilled than the average man.

    It's amazing the differences between regions and demographics. I honestly don't see this, but I was watching a program about a serial rapist in Miami, and noticed the cops, even when they weren't going to an emergency incident, were speeding and passing people on the other side of a double yellow line for no reason other then the had somewhere to be. No emergency. I never see that here.

    "Here" where?

    I see this all the time. You have to be careful and not flip them off or yell at them, because you can never for sure tell if they are actually going to an emergency.

    With the exception of the numerous times I've had a cop blast by with his wife and/or kids in the car.

    At my brothers 4th of July party last year, him and his cop buddies were laughing and joking about this, calling it a perk of the business. I made my little joke too. "Did you guys know that 'pig' is a pseudonym for hypocrite"? Oddly, they didn't find that nearly as funny as one would think.
