Then you discriminate based on race; that can be offensive. Isn't that the definition of racist? For example, some women get offended when you open the door for them. Should we stop opening doors for women because it offends some women? >The subject we had been discussing is whether or > not this was offensive. The cartoon IS offensive to many. > No, we're discussing whether it's racist and it's not. If you say it is, ok, but there's a decent argument that it's not and therefore only the artist can solve this. Until then, it's fine for publication in my view. If people get offended, oh well, I'm tired of political correctness. Everything offends someone. Coldfusion offends people, and I'm being very serious. They're Java bigots (obvious discussion there) and the very mention of ColdFusion angers them. Should this list be killed since Coldfusion offends some people? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:136876 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
