If blue laws mean overly rigid moral restrictions, what then are blue movies?

You mean the one that the vast majority of Indians use to describe themselves?

A means of relieving certain overly rigid, er, um, members of the condition known as blue balls, due to an excess of blue laws.
Clear as a rainbow, ain't it?

Do you play along the old cliche that any historical work that portrays relations between European colonists and Amerindians more accurately as just left-wing, political correctness, mumbo jumbo?

More accurately, in that both were generally murderous bastards? Or are you into the poor, peaceful, enlightened, ecologically sensitive school of revisionism?

This should settle the debate over the "blue laws" right here. Clearly Alcohol must be a good thing.

I'm both WASPy and anglophilic, but that doesn't change the fact that Mr. Fun wouldn't know good history if it gave him a blow in a public park bathroom.

Hell no -- it's a simple fact that Amerindians were capable of the same atrocities that white settlers committed.

Laz,
No, it doesn't. I meant package stores/supermarkets. Bars and clubs operate as normal. Bars closing at 8pm would truely make CT a puritanical hellhole.

Developing a touch of dyslexia are we? Or was it just a slip of the fingers on the keyboard. Amerinds are the native peoples of the Americas. Armenians are one of the nations inhabiting the Caucasus Mountain region.

AmerIndians is something the ever-correct MrFun made up one day.
Although, I AM familiar with AmerAsians; which is totally different in context and intent.
I just call them filthy ****ing savages, and be done with it.

Hmmm google search on AmerIndians and you get almost 26000 hits. I doubt MrFun is accountable for all of them.

Come on rah!
Searched:
Injun... only 32,100 hits... so I guess I'm just a racist loner
Indian... 31,900,000 hits
Savage(  )... 4,040,000
Native American... 10,900,000
Assuming, as you did, that all those sites were different sites and all refered to the redskins we stole this country from it would appear that they like to be called Savages over AmerIndian

RAH is a jackass. What do you expect?
He's working in tandem with MrFun to add words to the language.
You know. Mingapulco. Rahistan. Crap like that.
