That's bullshit. Perhaps in some benighted corner of the world there are people who find this sort of sneering 'politically incorrect' humor amusing but in reality it's rather pathetic, and you've run it into the ground here. It makes you appear petty and small-minded.Forty Two wrote:Assumes singular gender, when we all know that people can have multiple genders at the same time.

I think that should more properly be "all y'all".
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I may be small, but I'm certainly pretty. My mommy told me I was special.

You are "special", Lak. It said so on the little bus you took to school!

Lak's a libertarian. He exercised self-restraint.

I learned early how to stand up for the principal and sit down on my own stool.
They usually had to change my pants after that.
