Totally, But this P-town thing takes the cake. I bet they have someone paint a new picture to hang up there. It will no doubt have a few blacks, Hispanics, and women. It wont matter thats not what happened in history...but thats would "should" have happened. Who elects these retards? I bet the people who did this are PETA members too  Liberalism gone mad! |

Skip---hate to say this, but I think the first 3 words of your thread title are about 40 years too late to be news  |

This is how the occupy their time in the off season out there. All of a sudden they aren't working 20 of 24 hours a day for 7 days, but thier minds are still full throttle. Add some alcohol, a little dope, and a ton of boredom and things like this happen. Been there done it. No, not THAT...  |

so then..........
ummmmm  where is P-Town Rock? Since they landed there first...
and since women weren't allowed to be indian chiefs either i think we should change that rule too. Also, since there wasn't any women whailing ships one should be re-commisioned and allowed to go whailing with a full crew of women only.
the declaration of independence and constitution needs to be another pink or purple color as well with a flowery border and be perfume scented with a tear off chocolate cookie coupon on the bottom.  |

Chocolate Cookie Coupon? Now you're talkin'!! 
You truly can't understand bizarre until you've spent a few Winters at the "End of the World". It may be different in the Summer, which is the P-town that we're all familiar with, but in the Winter, you learn that it's no act. |

You'll never get me to that freak show of a town. I dont care how good the fishin is. I remeber going there with the family as a kid back in the 80's and wondering what the F@ck all the guys in pink shirts were doing holding hands. Its the San Fran of the east i guess. Freaks and more freaks. When did this country lose thier minds?

I just Googled that and found that there was a whaling ship named the "Queen" so I guess that counts
I think it is a shame that "correctness" goes to this level AND that it seems to be a policy of "convenience"... |

To me, it's not the fact that a particular person in P-Town might be gay that makes him/her a freak. If a heterosexual person dressed the way some people dress in P-Town, or acted in the same manner as I've seen some of the peope in P-Town act, I'd consifer them freaks as well, sexual orientation not withstanding.
And how come no Japanese soldjers were included in the photos/statues/paitnings of the raising of the flag at Iwo?
How exclusionary.  |
