    I know a fair amount of gay people but I reserve the right to write, "Fag/faggot."

    All this fear of HH becoming PC is pretty funny. Why? Because it's already there.

    Everyone on here adheres to PC standards, it just depends where you fall on the scale. I've never seen anyone use the terms "nigger," "nigra," "spic," "chink," "wop," "polock," "camel jockey," etc etc etc. These are offensive terms and I think most HH posters recognize they're pretty repugnant. And Derek would probably delete the post and ban the poster if it became a habit.

    But "faggot" is pretty common, as is "retard." Lots of homosexuals or parents of retarded children are pretty offended by those terms. The sexist stuff appears regularly too.

    Who knows where the line should be drawn? I'm certainly not going to lecture anyone about what they should or shouldn't say. For me, I just try to respect different groups of people and not be hypocritical. If I won't use a certain word because it's ugly and offends Group A, why should I freely use a word that offends Group B?

    Again, it's all where we draw the line on the PC scale.

    Christ.

    Fuck off already.

    Isn't there a poem reading you're late for?

    We'll take the niggers, the chinks, and the Jews, but NO Irish.
    Mel Brooks is Jewish, still alive and kicking at 89, outlived his wife Ann Bancroft aka "Mrs. Robinson," and is still funny as fuck. If we're gonna ref Blazing Saddles, let's do it w/respect for brother Mel.

    I'd expect no less from you. That's not a compliment.

    Technically it was: we'll give land to the Niggers and the Chinks, but we don't want the Irish.

    I didn't feel the need to include the Jews, as Mel knew the Jews weren't working on the railroads, or building fake Rock Ridges
