Rosa Parks passed away today.

R.I.P. Rosa Lee Parks. The world lost a good one today.

A true American patriot back when civil disobedience was called disloyalty and godless communism.

Wheh...good thing times have changed and people dont think like THAT anymore

A great lady. She'll be missed.

Totally agree! What courage it took in those days for her to make a stand the way she did!

Oh please. She's even admitted in interviews, that she didn't do it because she was trying to make a statement. She was tired, and didn't want to stand back up and move.

Tired or not, refusing to stand as opposed to giving up your seat on a bus in those days is no small feat! It took guts!

agreed.

Kinda weird... now I'm sad about someone dying that I had assumed until today was already dead

Do you gotta be a total dick all of the time?

Uh...guess again. She was tired, yes. But that isn't why she stayed put.

"I was thinking that the only way to let them know I felt I was being mistreated was to do just what I did - resist the order," Mrs. Parks recalled years later. "I had not thought about it and I had taken no previous resolution until it happened, and then I simply decided that I would not get up.

"I was tired, but I was usually tired at the end of the day, and I was not feeling well, but then there had been many days when I had not felt well. I had felt for a long time that if I was ever told to get up so a white person could sit, that I would refuse to do so."

An interesting note - she asked the arresting officer why everyone treated blacks like they did. He said he didn't know, but it was the law.
I'll leave the analysis of that to someone else.

It is sad...someone who really made a change in our country for the better. People who maintain the courage of their convictions are rare. She, for one, will never be forgotten.

Bruce Hornsby... "That's just the way it is."

Unbelievable!
Is there any thread on here that is safe from a jackass starting an arguement so that the thread ends up in the ALR???

AHHHHHH!!!! I agree with Wilmac, AGAIN! I need a drink!

When I was little, everyone wanted to sit in the back of the bus. So we never got why it was such a big deal.

Of course as we got older we understood the significance of her actions.

this coming from you??

When I'm a dick, I do it with flair.

You do it with a queef, pussy.

pot kettle

Sorry I don't put on 10 pieces of flair every morning when I come into work. We can't all be as as you Willy. I mean, I could try, but I just can't get all dressed up and excited about eating dick like you.

Well done guys. Really well done. :rolleyes:

All without a single ssssssnake . . .
