- Nicklaus. -- nm - David Apr 6, 08:00
- 51-49 -- Nicklaus. - Will Hunting Apr 6, 07:58
- Nicklaus. Far as I know, Roman Polanski didn't statutorily rape anyone at his house. -- nm - Diva Apr 6, 07:56 3
  - whoa -- nm - ML Apr 6, 08:00
  - plus it says career, not life. Nicholson getting chicks is his life not his career -- nm - Beaker Apr 6, 07:57 1
    - That was not the spirit of the poll, at all. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:00

    - *mic drop* -- nm - Beaker Apr 6, 08:16
  - this is a great way to put it. There is tons of real racism to address. Why pick this (non)example? -- nm* - Andie Apr 6, 08:05 12
    - I find it racist that people find it racist. -- nm - groiny Apr 6, 08:11 7
      - How do you figure that? -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 08:16 6
        
        you don't think it is racist to find something that is not racist at all, and call it racist? - groiny Apr 6, 08:34 5
        
        I'd say it's not particularly helpful, but I wouldn't call it racist. -- nm - Roger More Apr 6, 08:48
        
        I wouldn't be asking if I did think that, would I? - znufrii Apr 6, 08:42
        
        I think they're very different things. Reverse racism (to the extent it exists, would be discriminating against someone for being white. This is - pmb Apr 6, 08:36 2
        
        maybe, but I also think there is a whole Chicken Little thing to always cry racist. - groiny Apr 6, 08:38 1
        
        That is a completely different argument. -- nm* - znufrii Apr 6, 08:43
    - Right. This is when political correctness actually goes too far (as opposed to the Trump view that overt racism is just lack of political correctness). -- (edited) - pmb Apr 6, 08:10 2
      - I don't know if I'd even call it PC, just being over sensitive to the issue. -- nm - Reagen Apr 6, 08:15 1
        
        I think the argument would be that having to have that level of sensitivity to the issue or risk being called out as racist is political correctness - pmb Apr 6, 08:18
    - I will agree with that. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:07
- I understand the viewpoint expressed, but I think it an overreaction. - ty97 Apr 6, 07:58

  - Bagels are to be toasted and buttered. -- nm - ty97 Apr 6, 07:49 9
    - I love you and think you're awesome but this is the most wrong you've ever been and costs you points on your NYer card. - Krusty Apr 6, 08:07 1
      - All of this is right. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 6, 08:17
    - And then thrown at your enemies -- nm - David Apr 6, 07:53
    - Yes. Because people are meant to eat toast, not gross stale bread. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 07:51
    - i stand with ty. -- nm - Andie Apr 6, 07:50 1
      - you both can line up behind Spawn in the "wrong line" -- nm - groiny Apr 6, 07:51
    - Lol, no. -- nm - znufrii Apr 6, 07:50
    - that would be "toast" -- nm - groiny Apr 6, 07:49 1
      - *ding* -- nm - Shaun Apr 6, 07:50
  - That's what bagels are for!!! -- nm - Shaun Apr 6, 07:43 10
    - I would eat cream cheese with a spoon and a smile. -- nm - groiny Apr 6, 07:44 9
      - This thread may make me vomit. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 07:46 8
        
        You also hate garlic, so you suck. -- nm - Shaun Apr 6, 07:46 7
        
        The hell if I do, garlic bread is divine. -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 07:47 5

        Am I out of peanut butter? -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 07:52 3
        
        How would I know, weird food person? Gosh. -- nm - Shaun Apr 6, 07:57 2
        
        The answer is, of course, I am not out of peanut butter because that would be stupid. So why would I put anything else on a cracker? -- nm - Spawn Apr 6, 08:00 1
