Can't for the life of me imagine having friends who would use the term "nigger" in ANY circumstances. I'm sure some will drone on about "authenticity" and staying "true to tradition", but of course the bottom line is they're trying to shock....and of course let everyone know that "no pinko PC liberals are gonna tell them what they can say". My evil twin would have me wait for an appropriate moment and then as casually as possible use the most vile terms imaginable to describe something or someone they respect. ie: their religious leaders or maternal relative. However my evil twin could get me shot if left unchecked, so simply leaving...and wondering about those who didn't would have to suffice.Rick
