Malcador Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 So if I am supposedly speaking for others, what was I saying? Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

quidproquo Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Teacher: I want you to write your names on your papers. Student: Should we put it on the top right hand corner? Not speaking for the class, just asking a general question about what the teacher wants for the class. Teacher: I want you to write your names on your papers. Student: We want to write our names on the top right hand corner. Speaking for the class. Even if the man were trying to speak for the forum, the question is still a general questions about how we, the readers, are expected to see the cartoon. Kind of clever in that the cartoon is open to interpretation. You can see it as racist if you want, tho people see anything as racist if that's what they want.

Chilloutman Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKX86bM0kfc Its not Bob I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"
