An Iranian runs on the road after setting himself on fire during a protest near the headquarters of the French counter intelligence agency, Wednesday, June 18, 2003 in Paris. At least three Iranians set themselves on fire Wednesday after the agency led a massive raid on Tuesday on the offices of an Iranian opposition group, The People's Mujahedeen of Iran. The protest was the latest in a series of dramatic protests in Europe against Tuesday's crackdown on the Mujahedeen Khalq, which is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union.

This is one of the T-shirts, from a line that was available at the Abercrombie & Fitch store in San Francisco, on April 18, 2002, depicting stereotypes of Asians that prompted an e-mail and phone campaign to boycott the clothier for racial insensitivity. The company is again in trouble with minorities. A federal lawsuit filed Monday June 16, 2003, in San Francisco, charged that clothing retailer hires a disproportionately white sales force, puts minorities in less-visible jobs and cultivates a virtually all-white image in its catalogues and elsewhere. The company removed shirts from its stores last spring. (AP Phoito/Paul Sakuma)

Israeli soldiers push a Jewish settler off a military armored vehicle as settlers try to prevent troops from reaching the settlement outpost of Mitzpeh Yitzhar near the Palestinian West Bank town of Nablus, Thursday, June 19, 2003. Angry settlers scuffled with soldiers trying to dismantle the first inhabited outpost following a new U.S.-backed peace plan. The year-old outpost consisted mainly of tents and had about 10 inhabitants, but about 200 people from nearby Jewish settlements converged on the hilltop to prevent the authorities from dismantling the outpost.

Edited to add pic.

[b] I think those Iranians are on to something[/b] [ROFL2]

To the guy who set himself on fire and the tongue splitting devil nose guy....one word describes them..."dumbass"

This is now grounds for a lawsuit?  WHAT THE FUCK?

No.  You deleted the part that is grounds for a lawsuit.  Here is the complete text:

A federal lawsuit filed Monday June 16, 2003, in San Francisco, [red]charged that clothing retailer hires a disproportionately white sales force, puts minorities in less-visible jobs[/red] and cultivates a virtually all-white image in its catalogues and elsewhere.

That setting yourself on fire has got to hurt the next day. ouch ........

What does this accomplish?

easy, one less stupid fucker on the face of the planet...  NEXT!

Again, I ask, these are grounds for a lawsuit?  Private company.  Can I sue the NAACP for disporportionately representing white folks?[>:/]

It accomplished a +1 for me.[^]


Other than that, abso-freaking-lutely [b]NOTHING[/b]!

Yes - hiring discrimination on the basis of race is grounds for a lawsuit.  Welcome to the 21st century.

As far as your NAACP question - who knows?  Give it a shot.  Go ahead and sue them.  I bet they have already done their homework and have a lot of white folks working there.

It's an excellent method for getting rid of body lice. [;D]

Maybe we can get the Iranians to "get together" with the toungue slicers and the Benton Harbor, Michigan looters.........

They can all burn!

What do I care!

I'm just damn glad the Naples, Florida Cops are cracking down on those illegal lemonade stands!

maybe this trend will catch on

Those Israelis don't fuck around with anybody!  They will fuck you up if you touch the armor, huh?

Nice!

At least they're not using 5.56 as crowd control.

... a tan?
