negative. i was only pointing out what I feel people should limit themselves to. I am not in favor of censorship, PC policing or any other form of euphemismism prettytalkery. I think we should all be adult enough to shrug off or laugh in the face of quite a level of insult and I am cool with that. By the same token I think we should also be adult enough to know what we don't want to get called out on. > Secondly, why do you limit it to inherent properties, whatever that means? > What if being gay turns out not to be an inherent property? Does that > suddenly make it ok to insult gay people? I don't think so. OK let me rephrase that. Matters of fact as opposed to matters of judgement. Sexual preference may be subject to change but it is a fact for the time being. Same for being fat, jewish, muslim, Nikonian or what have you. Pompous twittery is a different story - to some people Paris Hilton is a marketing genius, to me she is a pompous twit - again for lack of a better example.
