It's tricky, it is. You have to see what or who they're talking about each day and figure out which individuals or groups you're allowed to criticize. Christians? Always (and I am an atheist, so I don't give a shit). Italians, Irish? Usually. African-Americans? Yes, but only under the guise of being an ignorant caucasian. Africans? NEVER. Muslims? Only with like 47 caveats making it clear that you know not ALL Muslims are like this, just the bad apples.

I said that reading a post was making me stupider. Not very constructive! Note I never said I didn't deserve it.
Figured that was a given. (Maybe why I never last long on the Denton Empire sites.)

It's exhausting.
