US Patent Office Admits mistake

[johnblaid]

The US patent office is now essentially claiming that they were in error in 1967 when they issued a trademark for the Washington Redskins.

Redskins officials announced they will change the name to something that disparages a group who is actually insulted.

This is going to be very expensive for the Redskins , but they have no choice but to fight this all the way. Your trademark is your property. The Federal Gov't has no problem with taking your property from you. After all " you didn't work for that " . If the Gov't gets away with this , the sky is the limit and your property will be their goal.

The way I see it . It's only a name it can change just like teams can come and go .

More than just a name involved in this one...government has no business in this one...if they can change the name of a sports team they can change YOUR name....it's a group of letters and nothing more...gov has TOO MUCH power as it is...caution , rant ahead : Stay the fuck out of my life ! :bang head:

Error be-damned. It's all about "political correctness". Things were much different in 1967.
Will their be a push on to change the name of the Chicago Blackhawks?

This is all B.S. , if the govt. gets away with this we are all screwed !! What ever happened to toughen up a little or learn to deal with it!!, today's society is just to soft and think every thing should be changed because they feel it is offensive !! What a crock of B.S. , Lately I have seen this crap at work and it is crazy , one old conductor told a Boss the other day to "wake up and smell the roses " the 24 yr. old got offended and is trying to fire a guy with 37 yrs. of service missing no work ever and this punk kid is doing this . Man the world has gone to Hell!!

This is what happens when you get a generation n a half that was raised by women, you get a trophy for participation, everything is about self-esteem, no one wants to work/earn something and if there's something you don't like, you can't just change the channel or look away. The pussification of america is complete... Fortunately there's still enough of us out there that were raised right and know the value of earning something by working for it, which helps promote good selfesteem by the way, that know not everything in the world will always be unoffensive to start turning things back with our own children. Won't happen soon, but it will happen. I'm done for now or ill start writing a book, lol.

Hey! I was raised by a woman. I got a couple trophies. Couple of Presidential patches for achievement. I think I still turned out OK. When someone voiced their concern for anything I'd said, or done, or the way I'd said it, or done it. I handled things the old fashioned way - I punched them in the mouth....and they got over it. lol

One reason that Ive heard that construction jobs are supposed to grow over the next 20 years, is that Gen Y dont wanna have to perform physical labor.

It all comes down to the pussification of America.

Thank You. The Public School System is shot. Everyone gets a degree in Self Esteem. Diversity wins the day.

Then, in about 5 years, the US will be a 3rd world country.

That would certainly be appropriate.
