And I do not understand by what you mean as "derogatory names."

Definition of 'Commie' -

1. Commie

Derogatory name for a Communist.

I still don't get how Obama is a Nazi to some people... =_="

It's just foolish. Don't get me wrong, I dislike the Nazis and Communists equally. One destroyed a symbol of faith by turning into an evil cult symbol... (what's more, I wear the symbol as a protective charm and have to hide it) and well, Communists just ruined China. =/

Saku. Consider the fact that you're quoting Urban Dictionary which is not a reliable information source.

* Main Entry: com·mie
* Pronunciation: \ˈkä-mē\
* Function: noun
* Usage: often capitalized
* Etymology: by shortening & alteration
* Date: 1940

: communist

Source: Merriam-Webster

It is merely a shorthand, but alas I see that one person feels offended by such a noun. And I shall cease to use it.

Let me rephrase the previous statement,
"I'm thinking... They should at least decide whether Obama is a communist or a nazi... He can't be both. "
End of argument.

I'm using common knowledge of the definition of the word, Pite. I'm not offended, I'm just informing you that using the word 'commie', is akin to calling a Japanese person a 'Jap', a Caucasian person a 'Cra*ker', and a Black person a...well...you get my drift. This isn't something that I just 'pulled' from 'Urban Dictionary'. It's something that is part of regular human knowledge to the world at large.

Well sometimes what you assume as "regular human" knowledge can escape a person.

Commie is an insult. Oxford said so.

Thus Shauna wins this battle, stop playing dumb.

Just sayin'. Because I'm a Communist. Все окличут Красную Армию!! Все окличут Красную Армию!!!

Obama called Kanye an Ass. I am not sure, if this is politics or not since, it does have to do with the president.

I almost never agree with Obama, but I do agree with him on this.

Kanye West is a jackass.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Yeah me too, I agree, as well.

I think I see what you did there.....

Hundreds of thousands attend the Peace Without Border concert in Cuba.

Sigh.
What does this do? Absolutely nothing. Peace. Sure.

Not even that. While Obama did lift some restrictions as far as travel goes for families, it still doesn't change the fact that we have them completely isolated as far as trade and goods go. Castro and his family have used too hard of a hand on their people, as is the case with most dictators. Ah, just another example of a good idea gone bad because of a person's personal need for power. Over compensating much?

He is not a Nazi a Nazi was just a political movement, he is a corporatist. Someone who gives handouts to corporations, eg. bailouts. Then again that has been going for a loooonnnnggggg time, we haven't had real capitalism since 1913.

Also, I'm not sure if this belongs in here, I'll move it if it doesn't.

My thoughts?

Where are the parents gonna put their children in? I think the whole point of summer school was to have a safe place where your children could be at and socialize and make friends.

That's how I recall summer school when I was a kid.

I find it funny, when I looked it up, only blogs came up with no link to the original news source.
Their is one Msnbc report i did see However, I find it strange that no other News station have this posted up yet. Yes, I know. Msnbc is Democrat territory, but I would have figured Fox Noise would be all over this.

Bloody fail.

No summer vacation? No time to relax and take vacations with the family? WTF. Might as well send the children to sweatshop factories and tell them they have no right to see sunlight.

America might not be the top in educational curriculum, but it isn't a thing to be scoffed at. Take away summer vacation, you take away the kids free time and the fact that high school kids use that time to work.

All I have to say is:

I am not saying he will do this. They, said the same thing about Gore, if I remember correctly. Plus, with Republicans fighting against him with everything, he will not get anything passed. They never will get it pass the parents.. Someone always tries this type of thing, but they never get it passed the Voters.

Eh, he already got the stimulus passed, the budget passed, not to mention all the Bush era bailouts...and 4 trillion added to the deficit...yeah...I don't like Republicans either, but that doesn't mean that Obama and the Democrats are any better.
