1:34p - Small Wank, but with definate growth potential
user orchydconstyne posts the following quote in the "metaquotes" community here:
![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif) eriklebeau's Random Thought Upon Seeing a Billboard:
A billboard sponsored by the Knights of Columbus that says "Keep the Christ in Christmas" is a bit like a billboard sponsored by the Ku Klux Clan that says "Celebrate Black History Month."
Not surprisingly, several people are offended by the fairly blatant (imo) Catholic bashing. eriklebeau steps in to defend his original statement.
The wank's still small, but eriklebeau is definately a wanker of the finest order.

6:07p - The Conservatives are being repressed!
Background info: The College Republicans group at the University of Washington held a bake sale a while ago that caused a lot of controversy (during and after). In protest of Affirmative Action, they sold baked goods with cost being based on the race of the buyer. (American Indians: 35 cents, Blacks: 30 cents Whites: $1)
Apparently there was supposed to be another thing on Tuesday (which never happened), but it was enough to get this guy to write a letter to The Daily (UW's newspaper), wailing about conservative suffering:
"While some students worry about financial woes or "racist" admission boards, other students must worry about earning negative points in their classes just for having a conservative viewpoint. This is an equally serious problem that can seriously effect the outcome of someone's education and life after college."
Later on he clarifies: "there are students who are AFRAID of this sort of thing happening. To them, it is a realistic fear of being discriminated against, which may POSSIBLY lead to future ramifications, just like the fear many minority students claim to have coming to a university like this and facing racial or sexual discrimination."
Yeah, it's exactly the same thing.
Anyway, People respond. There are even trolls.
Edited: Hm, noticed that my focus seems to be just on the conservative guy, which although I found him wanky, isn't really the entire wank. (I was just too lazy to go back into the comments and pull out the other wanky comments) Like:
"Recognizing that adamforest is an asshole with santorum for brains is essential to understanding the key components of his side of the debate" ... "If adamforest wasn't such a douchebag and could hold up his side of the debate, then maybe the discussion could have included more than peoples' reactions to him being an asshole."
current mood: annoyed
current music: Violins (18 comments |comment on this)
