So that's where I've been going wrong! If only I were gay, I'd have a lot of disposable income.

No, if you had a lot of disposable income you'd be gay.

So if you are proud of being white or hetro sexual your are what is wrong with America. Or is it only if you speak you opinion you are what is wrong with America. So only the minority can speak their opinion without being wrong. I say take a look in the mirror to see what is wrong with America. They are the minority because there are fewer people that believe in their views. So you are saying the you should only be proud if you are a minority. You should only be able to express your views if you are a minority. That is what is wrong with this country. The majority has to pander to the whims of the minority to be PC. I won't do that. The media and the main stream might, but I won't. It will never be wrong to display the American flag in America. It will never be wrong to express your views in America, even if you disagree with the minority. If you don't like the Pledge of Allegiance in public school, take you kid out of public school. When did it become wrong to be proud of our country? If you don't like In God we Trust on our currency move to a place where you are comfortable with the currency. If you don't like democracy please move to a socialist or communist country. It is simple really. I will not change my views, morals or beliefs because a few (the minority) disagree with me.

"If you don't like it, leave." is one of the most unAmerican and unpatriotic things one can say.

To simplify, it is far more American to say, "If you don't like it, do your part to change it."

 

[waka]

Is this the same thing as white pride? or hetro pride?

No, it wouldn't be the same. White heterosexuals (namely males) are not an oppressed demographic. There is no need for an advocacy organization for a group that is more privileged.

To try and change it for the majority when a small minority feel something is wrong is unAmerican. As far as unpatriotic you are full of crap. One small and recent example comes to mind about students in California. Let me ask you this. If anyone displays another country's flag on the 4'th of July will they receive the same treatment as those 5 students? If those students can't where an American flag shirt on a Mexican holiday something is wrong. And yes, I disagree with coming to this country illegally then trying to make the USA more like where you are fleeing from.

What is "privileged"? This is one of those words that people try to throw around as defining the end point of an argument. But what does it really mean, and how does being part of a "privileged" class somehow mean that you're automatically bigoted and you don't get to have your say anymore?

Does this advertisment campaign by Jetblue violate anti-discrimination laws? To me this seems to be a form of reverse discrimination.

 

[MasterOfPuppets]

Hopefully the flights back are in the $300-$400 range.

You mean in the back?

Gay people have a lot of disposable income,

You are right! They do have disposable "incum"?

Okay I'll ban myself.

Out!

Your knowledge of civics and how our government is structured is sorely lacking. The minority is protected from the tyranny of the majority through the Bill of Rights....ever heard of it?

This is not only irrelevant, it a stupid example of some point that you think you're trying to make.

Look it up in the dictionary......okay, I'll do it for you.
Click right here ---> privileged

I didn't say anything about any group not having their say. Organizations such as NOW, NAACP, gay/lesbian groups etc. exist because of societal and institutional bigotry and prejudice directed to these demographics. I only said that there is no need for an advocacy organization for white heterosexual males as this group is largely unaffected by negative prejudice.

I think white males are now a minority as a percentage of the population, how long before we see affirmative action for them?

White males are only in the minority when you compare WM's to all other non-white groups are combined.

There is much more to eligibility for affirmative action than simply being in a group that is in a minority. For example, I would be willing to bet that the ratio of employment for white males still far exceed any other group. I would think that this number is more important.

(btw; I oppose affirmative action in safety sensitive functions. As for other areas of employment, I'm not sure yet.)

 

[waveflyer]

Waka- you're completely off base. Don't you know that the reason pilots on this board didn't get hired- or were delayed in getting hired- is bc only 90% of new hire major airline pilots are white males?

LGB chief flew the flight and has not heard the end of it..

Coming back all passengers were given diapers to collect the leakage due to the destroyed sphincters from the previous few days..
