Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

"we're all theists"
You'd be right apart from one weeny thing ;o) The definition of theist: specifically the belief in a god.
Theist:
1. the belief in one God as the creator and ruler of the universe, without rejection of revelation (distinguished from deism).
2. belief in the existence of a god or gods (opposed to atheism).
Dawkins, myself and other Atheists believe that there is no such thing as a god; this belief doesn't make us "thesits" in any way.
