How it works:

Extraordinary things can happen when we ask extraordinary questions. This blog asks extraordinary questions in the form of outlandish statements. Sometimes I believe what I've posted. Sometimes I don't. This is not a blog about my political, religious, or philosophical views. It's a blog about thinking in different boxes or outside of the box altogether. Have fun. BRING FRIENDS!

Premise the 34th- Herman Cain

Premise: Herman Cain is a bigot, skating by on the absurd notion that it's okay to be a bigot if you're black.  


Assignment: Argue for or against the merits of this premise, using logic, sound reasoning, and where possible, citations (links) to back up your arguments.

Caveat: You need not take the side that you actually believe. Sometimes arguing the other side is more fun.

GO!

Premise the 29th - Damn Homeless People!

Premise: If you have a hangup about homeless people you should buy some ratty clothes from a thrift store and wear them for a week, without taking them off, without showering, combing your hair or brushing your teeth. Then go out amongst strangers on the street attempting to make a human connection without revealing the gag. Then write an account of your experiences and decide if you still feel the same about the homeless.
