[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] "YOU still have YET to produce a single scrap of evidence that people are consuming gasoline for these so called "vacations" and otherwise frivolous driving trips. All we've got is your word!" As I said, JK, "Whether you take my word for it or not is your decision, but then, of course, I can challenge you to proove that the amount of driving went DOWN this summer." I don't seem to be able to proove it, so believe what you will. "if the person (or ethnic group) finds the word to be racist, then, plain-and-simple, IT IS." Racism is not a quality that can be APPLIED to words. It's a state of MIND, thus being only applicable to human beings. Last time I checked, nothing else can hold a belief, or be prejudiced. I can't be racist simply by use of a certain word, if I don't intend to offend anyone by it. "How would YOU feel if someone called you a "cracker" or something else?" I'd say, "Huh?" And once I found out what it was, I'd just walk off. Some people are oversensitive to what others think about them. "Why can't he just be "a man"?" Because liberals in groups like the NAACP and "Affirmative Action" won't let them be. Black people THEMSELVES won't let themselves be, in some cases. So now I'm racist because I recognize the differences between races when someone ELSE (in a mainstay of the liberal media, no less) brings it up? Wonderful. "What was acceptable thirty or forty years ago is NOT acceptable today." And why the heck not? What's changed, except the attitude of the people doing the objecting? I don't care whether it's "PC" or not. Trying to please everyone, ALL the time is simply impossible, so I'm not gonna worry about it. As for the rest of you, thanks for laughing. This guy seems pretty humorless at times. [/QB][/QUOTE]
