There is nothing wrong with being politically correct. Since when is saving others pain a crime? It ends when we all reach a point that we do not have to have the advantage at the expense of others. Or when we reach an evolved state of mind that we can accept that we are all different and there is nothing wrong with the differences. Don't have a heart attack Dragoness but I'm going to agree with you that there is nothing wrong with diferences. I don't see a problem with the costume. IMO who does it offend, those who are here illegally? They shouldn't be here in the first place. What part of illegal do you not understand. Why should they have the right to say something offends them in this country? They don't belong here in the first place! |

LOL People do agree with me on occasion, no reason for shock..lol I am not an illegal and I find it tasteless. Bad taste. I think if there is a stink about it, pull it, to keep the peace. There are a lot of citizens in this country who see the illegal issue as a complex one and a human one that needs diplomacy and consideration. Not dehumanization and prejudice. The legality of the issue is actually the least of the worries with the issue if you are a humanitarian like me. Back to the costume, it is just really tasteless. |

Exactly. HOWEVER, and I am geatful for this, depending on it's rating, it can NOT be played where just anyone can hear it. I am referring to music that is rated NC17 (not sure if there is a higher rating or not). You can not play NC17 music out in the public park for example, because of the fact that you can not prevent minors from hearing it; unless of course you have headphones on. Technically the same is true about playing it in your car, though I am sure it is overlooked most places, just like most noise ordinances are overlooked.

Common sense,really. be seeing you Rock music can be just as offensive and it shouldn't be banned either. If kids were being forced to listen to rap or offensive rock music like they would be forced to look at this costume, with the other kids wearing it, that might be a different matter. I would not like to have to tell my kids " oh sweetie that costume is a jab at illegal aliens in this country" and "their parents must be not so nice people to put their kids in that costume." |

I dont think this is a matter of being FORCED to look at an item or an item being BANNED> It is an issue of trying to please the consumer base one markets to, pretty simple and plain. |

I wonder how many calls they recieved to make that decision? They have such a huge consumer base, I highly doubt that's the real reason JMO. They prolly just wanted to avoid some frivolous law suit from the ACLU. |

Target spokesman Joshua Thomas says the company will be removing the costume from the site. He told Pegasus News by phone that they were made aware of the outfit through calls to its customer relations office. Thomas adds, “We went into the process of pulling it from Target.com. It takes about 24 hours. The costume will be taken down either late Friday or early Saturday.” http://dailycontributor.com/target-apologizes-for-illegal-alien-costume/7944/ I wouldn't let my child wear that costume. |

Oh for cryin out loud.
Wanna know what the uproar is about?? THE FREAKIN GREEN CARD!!! Without that addition, it's just a damn funny joke costume. But because there are several MILLION people in this country illegally ( ie : no green card ) target HAS to back down and pull the costume because someone in this country illegally might get offended. |

Citizens are offended by it too. Those citizens who think about other humans feelings do anyway. Oh, please. That costume, other than the Green Card, has absolutely NOTHING to do with humans. The head of the costume is a typical " Gray " alien. Without that Green Card as a part of the costume, NO ONE would have said a damn word about it. As far as I am concerned, one of the reasons this country has gone into the toilet is because way too many people walk on eggshells for fear of " offending " someone. We've become a nation of overly sensitive weaklings. |

I prefer neighbors and citizens who care too much for others than those that dont care at all for the sake of laughs and entertainment.

You know what is funny though, is if we had outerspace aliens living here, we would be having this same conversation about them too. Legally or illegally here...lol
You know aliens coming from the sky don't cross any borders illegally so what could be said? |
