Title: Cultural idiocy
Post by: Kaos on October 24, 2019, 07:23:51 AM

We've gone insane world wide. 

1) K-Mart in Australia has to recall a Halloween costume because it's "inappropriate."  The costume?  A wedding dress.  Some woman complained because so many young women are married off by their families at a young age that a wedding dress costume is demeaning.  *sigh* 

2) Bed Bath and Beyond has to take black pumpkins off the shelves because someone complained that they were racist.  *sigh*

I thought they put them on the shelves because it was racist that they DIDNT have them? We’ve come full circle folks.

That's right. And through the use of mathematics I intend to rid the world of...mathematics.
