I really, really don't like being insulted
Yet you seem to have absolutley no problem being the one doing the insulting. I do agree with you that this country has gone off the deepend with it's need to be politically correct. But there are just certain things, whether they seem like they should be harmless or not, that are commonly accepted as things you shouldn't say and this board has seen a few too many of those the last couple days. And the reasoning behind some it has been quite weak. An example of that being your justification of the use of the word "Jap" by saying that people from Finland are called Fins and people from Brittain are called Brits, etc........ Sure they are, but for whatever reason people from those countries don't find those terms offensive while the Japanese people (or at least the ones that I know) DO find their term offensive. I'm curious what you would call a person from Nigeria. Try justifying that one with the same line of thinking.
