I'm not fond of it. Of course I'm overly sensitive about those things - anything vaguely racial sets my blood to boiling. I don't even like when feminine things are used to belittle others - like douche came up in a recent friend conversation and it's use made my stomach turn. I also got really turned off of a friend who yelled at a person who cut them off by calling out to them to tell them they were "TRASH!" I just found it so callous and cruel to say that another person was useless refuse. I'd much rather be called a fuckhead. <BR/>Words can be so powerful and polarizing. It's amazing.NMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013773933321448030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11882938.post-82072256680098123722007-02-07T17:58:00.000-08:002007-02-07T17:58:00.000-08:00Damn blogger for eating my comments.

Nathan's dad wrote in his blog how he's now disturbed how the word cancer is used as a derogatory term. One example was that a sports reporter was saying how player so-n-so is a cancer to his team. Yes the guy is bad for his team, yes cancer is bad, but the guy is not a life threatening disease that hurts families.~A~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17683986824860534772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11882938.post-4129560720251998002007-02-07T16:23:00.000-08:002007-02-07T16:23:00.000-08:00Thanks.

In retrospect (and after getting your email), mine probably would've been a comment more appropriately private, and I certainly wasn't expecting all of this, but thanks anyway. I think you said it all.<br /><br />And of course I still read your blog. Just don't get as much time as I used to. At some point, if I ever get this friggin' book published, I'll have to revive mine.A Man without a Bandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16897754597845911895noreply@blogger.com
