Subject: "Ami"



Although we're off on a tangent, our Americajin/gaijin friend

seems to have made a point close to the target. I am also queer,

and have no probelms with that word. I think the PC movement

is way outta hand. I also think different levels of slurs and

the way they're used make a greater difference than the slurs

themselves. Tone, as well as degree are important factours.

You can call me a queer Ami if you want, but calling me a

f---in' blanco faggot is, as they say "fightin' words".
