Seriously?

Oh for Gods sake. Suck it up people, and stop turning an every day item into something racist!
Noomi, why is American politics so important to you?
Can't you mind your business? Are Americans getting involved in your countries politics?
What do you even do with your life? Is it that boring? Too bad they took away all your guns. At least you'd have some recreation down there.
I agree with your sentiment of course, but still...
This is a forum for everyone, regardless of where they come from, and your politics affects us, as you may well know.
I think we should change brown bag to plastic bag, oh wait, that might offend people who have had plastic surgery, uhmmm... what about "sack lunch"? Oh wait, that might be considered sexist because women don't have testicles... uhmmmm... what about NON RACIAL GENDER NEUTRAL CONTAINER? Yes! I have solved the worlds problems!
Cant do that. Seattle has already banned plastic bags!!!!!
I'm glad! We all know that plastic bags contribute to global warming and racism!
Oh for Gods sake. Suck it up people, and stop turning an every day item into something racist!

Citizens, citizens, citizens, citizens, citizens, citizens, citizens, citizens, citizens, citizens, there I said it ,boy did I just piss -off bunch of residents.........
They'll ban
Borders
nation
American
They hate the nation state more then anything. They want a borderless world where all people are ruled by a leftist socialist god from the UN.
Yes, you just pretend that the left's march towards thought control simply isn't happening.To refrain from is not to ban, and the memo concerns city employees only, not the general public.
This is yet another non-issue, a failed attempt by the right to contrive a controversy where none exists.

Language, Borders, Culture...All of which the Statists deny in thier effort to deny sovereignty of this Republic and ultimately that of the individual. They deny BOTH.
I guess I have to ask because I only see liberals, leftists, "progressives" from other countries commenting in political forums regarding US politics.
Seattle banned the word 'citizen'? How then do you explain the fact that if you search the word 'citizen' on the seattle.gov website,
you get 2190 hits?
lol, the author of this thread needs to grow up and stop lying.

Interesting observation.
... And what does that tell you? Come on, you can do this.
Hint: it's something about the perspective of where you sit on the spectrum....
... take your time...
yep...and they say Conservatives are obstructionists? Really? WE are for liberty and not the nanny-state that we have now.I guess I have to ask because I only see liberals, leftists, "progressives" from other countries commenting in political forums regarding US politics.

That liberals like to stick their noses into everyone else's business and think they have a god given right to do so. That's all it mean.

LOL...were i to be pissed off, i think it would be more about a self righteous, moralistic, bible thumping publication would resorting to lying about my city to promote their right wing agenda. sin't that against some commandment or something.
some people were offended by the terms and a memo was sent out to inform others to be sensitive to that. it is no big deal.
i will see your ten "citizens" and raise you five "bible thumpers", two "holy rollers" and one "jesus h. christ".

There is a point here. No matter if you think this is a big deal or not it highlights the absolute insanity that exists in this nation now. The memo asks the workers to be sensitive to the word citizen? What the fuck. That is NOT how we should be acting, worried that any word falling from our mouths might be construed to offend someone. You would thing that you would have to live your entire life worried about who might be offended. Simple truth, if either of those words are offensive then you should just go pound sand because you are to easily offended. Rather than send a memo out, whatever brought this up should have been laughed at. It is pathetic to see this kind of bullshit happening.
I do not go around screaming offensive words but I damn sure will not refrain from using normal, everyday and well established words because some puissant might be offended by them. What bothers me about things like this are not the acts themselves. That is and was never the problem. What bothers me is the underlying mentality of the nation that such events are even allowed to occur. Where was the common sense that should have sent this idea packing long before it got put in a memo? What insanity gripped the person that was willing to actually hit the send button?
That and the concept of individual sovereignty.The no borders crowd has been trying to eliminate the concept of citizenry for decades. They are having some success. When the word "citizen" has been eliminated, the concept of citizen will be gone too and we will all be equal residents.
