@28 I don't think you can say this with anything except emotion to really back it up. I feel exactly the opposite, but not to the point to actually argue such a hard-to-predict point.

2 things...

It only works because of a paucity of female candidates.

With a comma you could even take out 'for', so it'd only be "She voted, war."

yeah, I've been given to understand (without a cite mind you) that the traditional valentines heart is so shaped because it resembles a (predominately) female's posterior and lower back.

Religion, including Christianity, is just a tabla rasa upon which people justify their worldview. There are compassionate, tolerant Christians, and there are small minded bigoted Buddhists, and vice-versa.

Why the hell do they need regular passengers to do this, one would this the TSA would have enough employees to run these tests themselves, perhaps none of them want the hassle of being detained. I sure as hell wouldn't do it, even for a very big clock.

I agree that people go overboard with language sensitization, but there has to be some accommodation when language use of specific terms that are meant to be descriptive only, come to mean pejorative only. People first language is a good example of practice. I would have no qualms with referring to someone who has mental retardation as an individual with mental retardation. You would not point to someone and say that's a cancerous person, no, that's a person who has cancer. A person is not their aliment, their aliment is part of the person, but just a part. That applies to any descriptor really, not just aliments.

Having said all of that I too have used the term "wht trsh", (and probably shouldn't really) but I was not trying to implicate that to be trash is to be black by default. If I say kiss my skinny white ass, that is not to infer that skinny and white deferential my ass from all other asses which are fat and non-white. As long as it is not applied to a phenotype across the board I wouldn't have any qualms with the term blck trsh... well lets just say a lot fewer qualms about it then the nefarious, "nggr" word, which has so many hideous undertones to it I'm not entirely sure what to think of it's usage in elements of black culture.
