If you eliminate the stupid and the easily offended, how many people are left?

I find stupid people and those easily offended offensive.

  Personally, I'm starting to get a bit offended with the whole having to 
tiptoe around trying to find the politically correct non-offensive word to 
describe someone or something.


  I understand there are some terms for groups of people which are just plain 
offensive.  But this whole "this term that used to be ok is now offensive so 
you shouldn't use it" thing is getting old.  Especially when the same group of 
people have been referred to two or three different ways since I can remember.  
 And just when you figure out what you *think* is accurate, someone decides 
that's offensive too.  It's almost like you need a twitter feed to keep up.   
And honestly, I think that no matter which supposedly politically correct term 
you used, someone would be offended by it.


  People just need to grow a thicker skin and get on with their lives.

    Yeah, I think that's just made up, though. Something to make us feel bad 
about. All kinds of places still have Oriental in their name, the Asians I know 
still call people Oriental. I don't think it's the same as terms for other 
races.

    i guess im just a crybaby, turned out the orientals blew a fuse and didnt 
know how to reset the breaker. our outage was no power, the cable company still 
shows 137 down modems though.

      I love this video :) 
      Anytime the word cable or even if I have a customer switch to cable this 
is what I pull up to watch at the end of the day :)

        im down for alot of things 





        i find it hard to believe that in that amount of time not a single one 
of the 137 down modems had been restarted. name any section of your network 
that 137 customers could be down and you go almost the whole day without a 
single person calling or powercycling

            you tell me how to make a profit on 5 or 6 customers paying 39-49 
bucks a month for internets when your other 2 options are a 1700 dollar a month 
T1 or a fiber connection with over 10k buildout and 2600/month 50mb fiber. Id 
be interested to see that math. i think we make like 8 bucks on that site after 
we pay for the resellable cable connection as it is. I think the only thing we 
make any money there on is the hosted email.

                we have a remote location fed by a cable connection. Its down. 
I called. The tech tells me they did some maintenance at night. 137 of the 137 
modems on that node are offline. There is no outage. I literally have to drive 
50 miles to powercycle this modem. Anyone else see a problem here?
