So once again we find ourselves pandering to minority groups so that they don't feel oppressed, at the expense of public safety. Boohoo, it's time people stopped making sure they had their rights and started considering what the right thing to do for the community is... the world went and got itself selfish, and interest groups are only making it worse.

I'm not one to discriminate against minorities, but I'm pretty sick and tired of minorities being put ahead of the general public just because, God forbid, one of them might complain. Political correctness has a lot to answer for. [/rant]
