Let's post a marginally controversial item and then divide up into groups over who sees it and who doesn't and then name call when it unfolds in predictable ways. Because that's fun.

Everyone needs to stop being so butt hurt over every little thing. Stop looking for all the race cards! Not everything is about a racial innuendo or gender for that matter.

If they were all white it would be racial, if they were all black it would be racial. Two of the black kids and two of the white kids are playing together and it's still wrong. There is no making everyone happy for sure.

Took me a while, but I think I finally spotted it...

Obviously racist against the whale...It's out of the water, as if it's not "good enough" to be in there with the other mammals...And it portrays the poor creature as using a whistle instead of its native blow-hole...

Where's Quanell?

Oooops, didn't he convert? Scratch that then....

This is the dumbest thing I have heard in awhile. When did it change when everyone was looking for a reason to be offended?

I am only day 2 at Lifetime but out at the big pool an employee was working with 3 older kids (guessing 8-12) and he was giving them swin instructions and they were doing exercises as well. I feel like swim lessons are extremely important and was happy to see it. More kids should be enrolled in swim lessons. Growing up, we took them every Summer taught by the Red Cross. In O&G, this has been one of our safety topics.
