He just showed a really funny picture. Nothing about it makes it racist any more than a picture with a chipmunk means I hate all chipmunks. It's sort of racist that every time you see a picture of a black person you automatically link it mentally to every black person in the world.

People like to get offended over dumb stuff like that.
I agree, they are the ones that are racists IMO.
 
actually its generally true that people who work in retail are uneducated in life.

I worked in retail. I have a college education, an IQ of 140, and a six-figure income.

People who sit around and generalize entire groups of people based on nothing are uneducated in life.
 
I doubt George W Bush ever worked retail. How's that fit into your little formula?

I think you are the one uneducated in life. That's a very ignorant statement you just said.

Come work with people in retail and actually talk to them. Everyone has their own stories. No, not all of htem went to college (but then some do. Some decided they didn't like working in an office). But even if they haven't that doesn't mean they haven't had their own experiences and trials to learn from. Doesn't mean they didn't choose to be there or that they aren't working hard or even just making money while they get a degree to get a better (and usually less work) job. And not having a college education does not mean you are uneducated in life. You can very easily be uneducated in life and have a college education. It's experiences that teaches you about life.

But you get a large variety of type of people in retail. So, I would say you are the very uneducated in life one here when you just lump a whole group of people in some catagory with nothing to base it on.

Unfortunately, this isn't just a picture of a chipmunk, so it's little different.

You are making an incredibly stupid leap of logic that posting such a picture automatically links it to all black people in the world and that my comment implies that the poster must hate black people. I feel sorry for how your head must hurt with that type of thinking.

Education 101: There are elitist folks out who think they are better than everyone else. And yeah, they think it's real funny to show degrading pictures of overweight people, minorities, people sweating heavy and wearing different clothes, and get their giggles in.

That is exactly what this is. It is very sad and disgusting. NOT funny.
 
"Type this slowly"? Wow.

Spelling it right the first time proves he knows how to spell it and has the proper level of intelligence/education. Misspelling the 2nd time proves he was typing rather quickly and missed a character. Leaving it that way proves he's lazy, like most of us are. It's not ironic, it's lazy.

Earth to meekus, it was a joke
