A billboard in Grand Rapids is raising eyebrows. It's sponsored by the national non-profit, Center For Inquiry.

Earlier this week, Brigadier Jim Wallace, head of the Australian Christian Lobby appeared on morning television to debate with Dr Kerryn Phelps about why churches are opposed to marriage equality.
Jim, now after several blunders, renamed General Wally, said this:
And I find it absolutely amazing that at a time in our history when we’re jumping through hoops to try to make sure that every tree on the planet has its natural environment so that it can flourish that we would be challenging the definition of marriage which creates exactly that environment for a child requiring that its between a man and a woman.
More waffle, and then this
… the reality is here we’re about holding up an aspirational mode in society which government has the right to do to make sure that – to make sure that children can flourish in the same way we are demanding for trees.
So, marriage is to be treated the same as trees? There’s only one reason we care so much about the trees. We need them, it’s a selfish act and has nothing to do with the natural order of the world, but it has to do with preservation. Our preservation. And like marriage, trees come in lots of varieties. Some of them require fire to germinate, some required bees, some require animals to shit out their seed. Why some trees are even reproduced by grafting parts of another tree onto them. If you want to compare trees to marriage, then you need to understand that we don’t want trees to just grow where ever they like, we want to dictate where they grow, how long they grow for, and when they’re ready, cut them down and burn them or build houses out of them. A bit like christian marriage, the likes of General Wally want you to only have the marriage he prescribes, that only trees (or marriage) that is allowed to flourish is what he wants. It’s all for purely selfish reasons, because for his faith to continue to exist it needs more people, and he knows that they can’t be grown outside traditional marriage. It’s not about tree conservation, or marriage conservation, it’s about religion conservation. Where’s the next generation of fuckwits to come from?
Wally would have us think that the only forest that the world needs are those planted by christian right-wing fuckwits, to be nurtured how they see fit and cut down and burned when they want. I suggest the likes of General Wally should diversify their crop and plant a few marijuana plants.

Frankly… I feel kind of left out, and I find myself (like I imagine many of you do) at a loss for how to insult some white dudes, usually resorting to the tired old practice of feminizing, or perhaps bringing up questions regarding their sexual orientation. Yeah, I could criticize what someone says, finding fault in their ideas, but let’s be honest: sometimes it’s not about “proving someone wrong” (you can’t prove a fool wrong without their approval, unfortunately), it’s about telling them what an impotent little prick they are.
Ultimately, I think people would be less offended by what white males say if they had some things that were really offensive to say back at them. In a way, it isn’t fair for me to say “nigger” when black people have nothing of equal cultural weight to say in response back at me (or white people in general).
Sure, there are a bunch of different ethnic slurs for all of the various types of white people. I think you could write several pages just about what the British, Irish and Scottish thought of each other. And of course you got your wops, kykes, huns, frogs polacks, and those stupid Eastern European countries that don’t even warrant me Googling them (I’m talking to you, Croatia). Honestly, who has time to get to know a person enough to distinguish between all of these different groups and then research how to insult them in their native tongue? You want to insult the person, not learn about their heritage. That would be so… so… multicultural!
So, for the lazy and unintellectually inclined people out there who want a blanket insult for white people, I compiled this list. I can’t fight everyone’s battle for them, but I can point you towards the ammunition and suggest you aim for the groin.
