@4: Ok. But I think that sentiment insults a lot of teenagers out there who don't necessarily need adult relationships and city living to inform their not-racist worldviews.

And what if these kids don't go to college or move to new cities?

Look, there are ways for a teenager to express racism that I wouldn't want to end up on a site like this. But we're in the damn 21st century. We shouldn't let people get away with calling the president a "nigger" in front of the whole internet without being ridiculed. As others have said, we ridicule people in public when they say terrible things publicly. How else will they learn not to say terrible things publicly?

And sickeningly, I can see TLC's new reality show being formed out of all this vitriolic bullshit: "Big Racists, Colored World."

Surely a student who openly solicits assassination of the President should be of interest to the Dean of Students, no?

Well damn... major kudos to the person who put together this website... I mean, we all know that there's a significant cretin population in this country so it's nice to see some bright light focused on these scuttling little bugs...

Secret Service gonna be busy.....

The one you currently have,
trolling the internets endlessly looking for the dregs of society, the mentally ill, the underaged and rash, the pathetic, the goop under the layer of scum at the bottom of the barrel of humanity, and then posting it
and drawing immense moral superiority because YOU are not a racist, child abuser, etc etc is really not a healthy pastime.

endlessly battling and besting strawmen is no way to spend life.

have you considered paint-by-numbers? kittens? maybe dolphins?

or one of those little metal looms you thread the loops on to make potholders? maybe you could make rainbow potholders. and sell them on ebay.

think about it.

It's the whack-jobs, often young, who run around pulling triggers. These are exactly the people the Secret Service needs to be tracking.
Posted by Sir Vic]]> Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:14:09 -0800 The Stranger Mr Savage,

I have always been a fan. Slog, and every child deserves, has been a morning (some so tragic) fix for me. I have sent in the occasional $20 donation to SafeHaven. However, I would like to make a payroll contribution through my employer- KING COUNTY METRO. What I need is a payroll deduction agency number from SafeHaven. They have yet to reply to my email. What I would appreciate is a huge shout out, via SLOG, to all my fellow King County Employees to do the same. Our dead line is tmrw at midnight- November 16th. If you feel there are any other worthy recipients, please post their agency numbers too. Mine are LIHI (Urban Rest Stop) 5729, American Red Cross 9343, Planned Parenthood 8024, and ACLU 2710.
FYI, try to smile at your bus driver sometimes. Also, you DO have a nice ass.
Thanks

Yes, I'm sure teenagers are very concerned about government waste.

Look, whether it's racist rants against the president or posting naked pictures, young people need to learn that the internet is NOT PRIVATE.

If a teenager walked into a crowded shopping mall and flashed his/her genitals, or started yelling racial slurs about Obama, people would notice and confront them, so teenagers don't do it. Yet they think that Twitter or Facebook is less public, with it's millions of members? Sorry, they need to learn the lesson one way or another.
