Mad Dog,



I agree with you 100%.  Sensitivity towards other cultures and

ethnicity is very important.  If you're thinking about using an ethnic

slur or joke towards a person or group, put yourself in their shoes

for a second, and imagine how they might feel.  As you said 

Mad Dog, and I agree, this is NOT a joke, I am quite serious!



HOWEVER, Mad Dog, your continuous bashing of people with 

the initials "BS" I find totally offensive and hypicritical!  I've come 

from a long line of BS's.  My father, my brother, my grandfather,

my great-grandfather, were all BS's, and very proud of it I might

add!  Heck, my wife Bonnie, she wasn't a BS, but then I married

her, and she WILLINGLY became a BS, thus continuing the 

tradition.  So, next time you meet a person on the street,

be careful what you say, they might just be a BS!



Thank you, I feel better now. :-]

Bryan S.

P.S. As I said before, I love the British, always have!

       Oh, and Shane, what does "Pommie Bastard" mean anyway?
