| 22942 | How was your day? | Ahhh. At last we have a complete and functional deck with roof. There will be many a night spent out here soaking up the sights, sounds, and smells of Autumn.<br><br><img style="width: 784px; height: 588px;" src="/images/postImages/1439418365New Deck.png"><br> | Vaporman87 | Aug 12, 2015 |  |

It's because we let it happen. Instead of standing on the side of what is reasonable, we now stand with everything that is beyond reason. Common sense is disappearing, because we've made it offensive to have any. Using an example from the article, a student reads a book about the fight against the KKK, but because there is an image of the clan on the book, it instantly becomes offensive. Common sense would suggest to the offended AND the Dean or authority figure that this is not worth anyone's time. But instead, we eschew that for the most unreasonable solution... punish the holder of the book. This is more than just a conundrum... it's a very serious problem that will only get worse.<br><br>And it began when those in authority positions decided long held beliefs and monuments to those beliefs were just too offensive for people to have to deal with. It's like saying, "Man, I hate watching or hearing about the Kardashians. Someone should probably just kill them all" when the answer should be "I'll just STOP watching and hearing about them"!!!<br><br>We can't just IGNORE things anymore. Every little thing must cater to our own personal sensibilities. But that only applies to certain sections of our society, and that is almost always a minority. Would a college take down a flyer advertising an LGBT rally because a Christian student found it offensive? Yeah right. But reverse the situation and you better believe some action would be taken. It's ridiculous. One of the most ridiculous things about living in this day and age.<br><br>Darn you steak... you've went and made my blood boil. :lol:<br> | Vaporman87 | Aug 12, 2015 | |

Well done.<br><br>I decided to watch the Fantastic Four movie. The 1994 version. :lol:<br><br>Wow. This was just awful. So bad, it's funny in parts. And apparently there is a documentary coming out that details the making of the movie, and how it was actually NEVER meant to see the light of day. It was only made to meet a contractual agreement with no intention of ever releasing it in any form. Isn't that crazy?<br><br>0.5/5<br> | Vaporman87 | Aug 12, 2015 | |
