Mississippi (Calorie) Burning
Feb 2, 2008 Political
Three members of the Mississippi Legislature want to make it a crime for restaurants (that receive a permit from the Mississippi Department of Health) to serve food to people who are obese. Representatives Mayhall, Read, and Shows will establish definitions of obesity for these establishments to follow and will require them to discriminate against obese people. There is no indication yet, as to whether restaurants would have to measure people and calculate body fat or body mass index to determine if they get to eat or get their fat butts booted to the street.
I guess since the civil rights movement the legislature has been at a loss for a group to discriminate against. Sure, they were able to discriminate against blacks for a few more decades, kill some civil rights workers and lynch some black men but the days of running around in sheets have long passed and elderly Mississippi legislators are longing for some other way to discriminate. In pops the fat folks and the bipartisan group of old white guys (the youngest is 67) is in all its glory because they now have another group of people to pick on and hell, a fat guy has not had a serious run for the presidency in a long time. It won’t be long before there are skinnys only water fountains and restaurants, back door entrances for fat people and laws making fat people ride in the back of the bus. What next, no driver’s license for fat people because they should be walking anyway? They will probably have to find another way to kill fatso people because the ropes might not be strong enough and the aged white guys probably can’t lift them in order to hang them anyway.
I wonder how they can discriminate next in this bastion of stupidity known as Mississippi? Maybe they can force gay people to move out of state to keep from spreading bloodborne or STDs. Perhaps they can discriminate against people with heart disease and only allow restaurants to sell them heart smart foods (cooked in that healthy southern style of using lard).
I have an idea for the legislators in Mississippi. Instead of doing stupid things like this why don’t you pass laws to improve the way your children learn? Why don’t you pass legislation that improves your educational system? You see, Mississippi ranks 48th out of all the states in how well their kids are educated. They have made great strides moving up from 49th in the previous survey. It is very important to ensure that children get a good education and that they are able to comprehend complex ideas. If you fail to give children a good education…
They grow up to be stupid legislators who propose stupid laws that discriminate.

Discrimination in Baltimore
Dec 29, 2007 General
The City of Baltimore is a septic tank and the people there are only to happy to live down to that assessment. There is violence all the time and success is considered achieved if they have fewer than 300 murders each year. The school system is a shamble and the man who was city Mayor is now the state governor so it will only get worse on a much larger scale.
One thing that is absolutely horrible in the city is public transportation. The buses are not safe and the animals from the schools ride them in the morning and afternoon (those who actually go to school) and they cause problems. The bus drivers are oblivious to what is happening and they have orders not to call the city police if a problem occurs but to call the transit cops instead.
Recently, a white lady was harassed by a bunch of middle school kids who happen to be black. They would not let her sit in any of the seats. When she finally sat down and refused to move when told “this seat is taken” she was assaulted. The kids beat the hell out of her and fractured the facial bones around her eye. They threw her out of the bus. If she had been black and the kids white the words hate crime would be plastered all over and that cretin Marvin Cheatham of the NAACP would be demanding that the assault be treated like the hate crime that it is. He has chimed in so much with the hate crime mantra that I know what this coward would say. However, since the attackers are black this will not be treated as a hate crime.
The investigators have determined that since this was a dispute over seats there would be no hate crime charges. Where are Jesse and Al demanding that hate crimes be charged? After all, wasn’t the dispute in Jena Louisiana over seats? The white kids did not want the black kids sitting under a tree (at least this is what we were told). So the dispute in each case is about a seat. In LA, the race baiters show up and demand that the black kids be released and charge that the white kids committed hate crimes by hanging a noose blah, blah. In Baltimore the lawyers for the black kids say their clients were provoked by the woman who might have spit at them. When does that (and it is alleged) give school kids the right to beat a woman senseless?
It is a double standard in Baltimore and these kids will be displayed as model students and great kids when I bet most of them have a record a mile long, hardly attend school, and probably can’t spell BUS. The lawyers have already indicated that their clients were not involved and asked how anyone could be sure since they were wearing the same kind of school uniform (so they all look alike??).
It is just criminal that this is dismissed as a fight over a seat and this is just the tip of the iceberg. There have been about five attacks on buses in the past month and some of them have been black on white with plenty of “you white this and that” included in the fracas. There is talk that people who have to take the bus are going to ensure they have protection with them. I have not ridden a city bus in decades but if I had to and some school kids attacked me their next bed would have a lid on it.
Ironically, I would probably be charged with a hate crime. They would be right though because I hate idiots.
