[DigitalDrifter]

Can these people get any loonier ?

Once the cleansing has been completed no one will have any experience at being offended, and if they ever become offended will have no idea how to handle it !

Freaking lunatics !

‘Asian Carp’ Gets A Makeover In Minn.*Senate

T. PAUL, Minn. (AP)*— The term “Asian carp” has become endangered in Minnesota.

The state Senate on Monday approved a measure that would rename the fish “invasive carp.” It’s a response to concern by some people that the current term casts people from Asian cultures in a negative light.

Senators added the proposal to a larger bill that governs Minnesota natural-resource use. That legislation returns to the House, where it passed earlier this month without the name change.

Champlin Democrat John Hoffman said on the Senate floor that referring to the fish as “Asian” was hurtful to some people.

Officials have been trying to block the non-native fish’s progress into Mississippi River and Great Lakes ecosystems.

I guess it's time to take up arms

How about Far Eastern Carp instead?

Things only get so ridiculous before they fall of the weight of their own silliness. Hopefully that time is not too far off.

Job done.

[AceRothstein]

Do Chilean Sea Bass still exist? Or has that one been whitewashed too?

 

[blastoff]

Slant-eye carp works for me.

Or, you'll-be-hungry-again-in-an-hour carp?

Quite honestly I'd leave Asian alone and come up with another name for carp, which sounds a bit disgusting or something to me.

[emilynghiem]

I got an idea -- How about going after ALL
"Invasive CRAP" by politicians?

Forget the carp. Get rid of the BS/manure clogging up our democratic process.

Personally, I find the subliminal messaging behind the Brown Runner to be more offensive.

Bonnethead Shart. ...

That's offensive because it paints us sharts in a less foreboding light.

Nurse Shart.

Offensive because it's patently false. You cannot nurse a shart: we just are.

Kudos, Minnesota!!!

Makes sense, a bottom feeder that preys on the vulnerable.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

I'll be back in a bit guys, I'm hungry, gonna go hop in my invasive built car, and run down to my favorite invasive restaurant.

 

[Rat in the Hat]

They should rename the fish "Asian Trix"

I'm wondering who is more hurt by it, the Asians or the carp.
