''acting this way in public in what may offend older people , people from other cultures, inappropriate for children etc is another''oh for gods sake ---------------------------- stay home. Don't go to the carnival or the Mardi gras
if the poor perpetually offended 'older people' are offended - then just don't go
same as I don't go to church - because it makes me wanna vomit
remember all of this crap was brought to us by religion - from pre Christian days - picked up and evolved by christians, mainly catholics
mardi - tuesday
gras - fat
fat tuesday - get fat before lent
carnival ---------- carnivore - meat -------- eat lots before giving up the meat
so, it's ok for religious nutters to manipulate old beliefs --------------- but, it's not ok for those dreaded homosexuals to make use of it themselves
ironic eh
