This excerpt from one of America's greatest ever movies sums up my opinion on 
the matter.  Some folks need to find more important things to get excited 
about IMO.

-------------------------

WALTER
This was a valued rug.

WALTER
This was, uh--

DUDE
Yeah man, it really tied the room together...

WALTER
This was a valued, uh.

DONNY
What tied the room together, Dude?

WALTER
Were you listening to the story, Donny?

DONNY
What?

WALTER
Were you listening to the Dude's story?

DONNY
I was bowling...

WALTER
So you have no frame of reference, Donny.  You're like a child who
wanders in in the middle of a movie and wants to know...

DUDE
What's your point, Walter?

WALTER
There's no f**king reason--here's my point, Dude--there's no f**king reason--

DONNY
Yeah Walter, what's your point?

WALTER
Huh?

DUDE
What's the point of--we all know who was at fault, so what the f**k are
you talking about?

WALTER
Huh?  No!  What the f**k are you talking--I'm not--we're talking about
unchecked aggression here--

DONNY
What the f**k is he talking about?

DUDE
My rug.

WALTER
Forget it, Donny.  You're out of your element.

DUDE
This Chinaman who peed on my rug, I can't go give him a bill so what the
f**k are you talking about?

WALTER
What the f**k are you talking about?! This Chinaman is not the issue!  I'm
talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude.  Across this line you do
not, uh--and also, Dude, Chinaman is not the preferred, uh. . . Asian-
American.  Please.

DUDE
Walter, this is not a guy who built the rail- roads, here, this is a guy who 
peed on my...

WALTER
What the f**k are you?

DUDE
Walter, he peed on my rug.

DONNY
He peed on the Dude's rug.

WALTER
YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT!  This Chinaman is not the issue, Dude.

DUDE
So who--

WALTER
Jeff Lebowski.  Come on.  This other Jeffrey Lebowski.  The millionaire.
He's gonna be easier to find anyway than these two, uh. these two  . . .
And he has the wealth, uh, the resources obviously, and there is no
reason, no f**kING reason, why his wife should go out and owe money and
they pee on your rug.  Am I wrong?

DUDE
No, but...

WALTER
Am I wrong?!?

DUDE
Yeah, but...

WALTER
Okay. That, uh.  That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

DUDE
F**kin' A.

DONNY
And this guy peed on it.

WALTER
Donny!  Please!

DUDE
Yeah, I could find this Lebowski guy--

DONNY
His name is Lebowski?  That's your name, Dude!

DUDE
Yeah, this is the guy, this guy should compensate me for the f**king rug.
I mean his wife goes out and owes money and they pee on my rug.

WALTER
Thaaat's right Dude; they pee on
your f**king Rug.
