I know satire and this isn't satire. This is someone complaining about an annoying, small group of people (who happened to be white) that the author probably lives near.
For example, the "Oh I don't own a TV" post. I am annoyed by people who say that too, and I agree with him that it seems the only reason they don't is that they can brag about not having one. HOWEVER, this isn't a 'white' thing. Many other races can fall into that pompous mentality.
And, claiming something is satire doesn't give it an excuse to be racist. Racist is racist. Period. The sooner everyone learns that, the better.

Man, the "1.5 hour, six-people" diet works wonders!
Seriously, how obvious can a lie be?
(notice that he didn't specify the frequency of the meals either.. 'each meal' could have been weeks apart)

I wonder what state was had not been 'torn through'?
I'd guess Hawii due to it being apart from the other states.

it's certainly a more blantant example of the human habit of fleecing the outsiders. (tourists always pay more)

@Pudifoot
I completely agree. Prejudice is prejudice, no matter the 'excuse'. I can't stand that double standard. Esp when people make fun of their own race, no matter which one they belong to. It's ok to like who you are. And it's ok to be upset if someone makes fun of your race.
(although, freedom of speech assures that they can do so, but it doesn't mean you have to like it or say its ok with you and smile and play along.)

its not a homophobic thing. as a gay man, i'm really not homephobic. Also, i'm happy with my 'size'. and yet, i still have trouble peeing with other people nearby. Its some weird psychological thing - it even has a name: Paruresis. I think a lot more people have it then admit, but its particularly annoying as a guy. I just can't use urinals.

No, putting a kidney (or any organ) in someone else would not make their offspring more likely to have extra kidneys (or organs). with perhaps the possible exception of reproductive organs. If you wanted to promote extra kidneys, for example, you could take this girls ova and give them to many people who needed them to have kids (assuming she was for that, of course). Since her eggs would have her DNA, her kids might have extra kidneys (whether or not they grew in her uterus or someone else, they are still genetically her offspring).
@ L
It *might* be wise to hang onto them... she'd have a much better survival rate VS kidney failure, for sure. But AbbyJoy said, she probably will be fine with just 2, like everyone else. I think donating them is a lovely act. (also, donating or not, her kids could have them too, if it's a genetic mutation and not a just a birth 'defect').
Still... how nice would it be to have 2 hearts if you happen to suffer a heart attack in one of them...?

inhereting an organ doesn't change your DNA, so it woudln't be passed on. Unless the kidney somehow had an *additional* mutation that caused it to alter the DNA in a person's reproductive cells (sperm/eggs). but that would be very odd. (a donated ovary, on the other hand, would be much more probable)
Evolution is nothing but mutation, passed on into prevalence. Perhaps humans are starting to grow extra kidneys for a reason? To combat the chemicals/etc in our modern processed food? Something like that?

"Troubled youth shoots people at school" is becoming a cliche. How often is this happening?!
