    @Chris-B oh absolutely, many companies are cashing in on the faux outrage for publicity. That doesn't make it a good thing (not that you're implying that). You see it all the time with celebrities that have movies or new albums coming out.

    The H&M thing was a picture of one of the hoodies they sell on their website. The kid, and other models, were wearing all different types of hoodies and clothes. Are we saying "coolest monkey in the jungle" is an inappropriate hoody? Or is it only inappropriate for black kids, but white kids can wear it no worries? Or can we just tell the morally superior people yelling racism at every little thing to go fuck themselves? I (and the mother of the kid) way prefer the later.

    I think the latter was the crux of the issue with the restaurant in chch for me. I suspect Asians probably didn't care or get offended but the white lib SJWs went into bat for them instead purely cos they were so pleased to find something to be outraged about.

    This pisses my wife off no end. SJWs, of any race TBH, claiming things like "this is offensive to black people!!". When she, as a black person, took absolutely no offense at all to said issue.

    Idiots claiming to speak for people based on their skin colour, gender or sexuality in an effort to push their political agenda can fuck right the fuck off.

    It’s pretty condescending to be outraged on someone else’s behalf and assume they need you to defend them.

    The last place I lived in had a pond where I used to take my boy to feed the waterfowl. When I was moving out I went with him and the bread we had in the kitchen to feed them one last time and a swan snuck up behind us and pecked my son . I turned around and hit the thing in the head with the bread bag and it’s bloody head head sprung back up like a whack a mole and now it was pissed. We got into this cycle of it pecking at us andme hitting the swan in the head with the breadbag it’s head bouncing down and back up again until I emptied the bag on the ground and left it to fight off the ducks and geese.that swooped in behind us.
    I’ve hated swans since I saw one knock a postie off his bike ,nastythings that people think are nice for some reason.

    oi geese are no joke. Evil, pack-hunting, aggressive fuck heads. We've had an infestation at one of our wildlife parks, and they fuck everything up. Eat the grass, shit everywhere, chase the guests. And my suggestions of a couple of shotguns has been dismissed...

    Slightly off topic, but They seem to be pretty up front about what they are doing.

    My (very hot) friend who used to work for them told us about the last stage of hiring - they dress up in the uniform and walk around and the pilots choose who gets in.

    "Nobody was hurt". Well what a surprise. Mind you geese do shit worse than a big black German Shepherd. One of my local golf courses had a Canada Goose as it's logo as the lakes there were home to hordes of the ugly bastards. Sometimes you could hardly play due to the focal matter lying around. The course has now closed down.

    Canada geese are the Uber pricks of the waterfowl world , they shit every 20 minutes or so and breed like rabbits. Our forefathers were stupid enough to not only import Canada geese but they chose the sub species called super Canada geese. Bigger and more full of shit than normal Canada geese.
    They are so despised here there’s no daily limit and you can shoot them on the ground if you want. A mate of mine used to go down to Canterbury once a year to a pea farm the geese almost destroyed by simultaneously eating in shitting on in huge numbers. He said the farmer digs a trench and they sit in it waiting for the geese, open up with their shotguns then dump the birds on his quad bike trailer to go to the butcher to be turned into sausages while they shooters retire to the pub.
    Also Sully .

    US Airways Flight 1549: Anatomy of a Miracle

    Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, the pilot who landed US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River last January, was justly celebrated for his skill and courage. Less has been revealed about other players in the drama: those enigmatic geese, the engines they struck, a pioneering French engineer, and an...
