tedham...

Those are exactly the sort of words I'm talking about... There's nothing wrong with those words in and of themselves... They are JUST words... It's not the words we have to be afraid of...

It's the bigoted, low-brow, asshole USING them to try to hurt that is the problem...

Why you cut yourself, the blood is not the problem... the problem is the HOLE the blood is coming out of...

MarkC... It's been my education that race denotes genetic differences and that the genetic differences between people from different locals are insignificant if they exist at all... We are all Homo-sapien... that's our race...

But when has education ever been consistent eh?
