I find stupid people and those easily offended offensive.

I understand there are some terms for groups of people which are just plain offensive. But this whole "this term that used to be ok is now offensive so you shouldn't use it" thing is getting old. Especially when the same group of people have been referred to two or three different ways since I can remember. And just when you figure out what you *think* is accurate, someone decides that's offensive too. It's almost like you need a twitter feed to keep up. And honestly, I think that no matter which supposedly politically correct term you used, someone would be offended by it. People just need to grow a thicker skin and get on with their lives.

All kinds of places still have Oriental in their name, the Asians I know still call people Oriental. I don't think it's the same as terms for other races. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Ken Hohhof" <af...@kwisp.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Thursday, May 7, 2015 8:09:11 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] please reboot I’m sure you meant to say “Asians”. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=oriental From: That One Guy /sarcasm Sent: Thursday, May 07, 2015 8:00 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] please reboot i guess im just a crybaby, turned out the orientals blew a fuse and didnt know how to reset the breaker. our outage was no power, the cable company still shows 137 down modems though.

Id be interested to see that math. i think we make like 8 bucks on that site after we pay for the resellable cable connection as it is. I think the only thing we make any money there on is the hosted email. On Wed, May 6, 2015 at 6:50 PM, Josh Luthman <j...@imaginenetworksllc.com> wrote: No cable. Only paying for fiber.

Its down. I called. The tech tells me they did some maintenance at night. 137 of the 137 modems on that node are offline. There is no outage. I literally have to drive 50 miles to powercycle this modem.
