Hey, at least we don't sue each other for the stupidest things <g> Or having our school kids gunning each other down... (WARNING: I'm expecting some people to get offended at my attitude in the next couple of paragraphs) PC has gone rampant, so a lot of things have gone too far, but a whole load of Americans jump to conclusions about perfectly innocent items - like taking the WTC out of films because they're not there now... I want to see films as they were intended - yes, people died, but if we removed the parts from films where people were killed, how did Pearl Harbour get made? The Japanese attacked the US and killed hundreds of people (during war), but they still died - or how about Titanic, people lost their lives there, yet the film was made (and horribly written)... I think the Americans are over-all too touchy about things - I speak almost daily to a client whose offices are a few miles from the WTC and he's not too worried about things like that... He knew some people who died there, but he's not offended if the buildings are in a film... It's more the people who DIDN'T know someone who was there that have the problem Philip Arnold Technical Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited Switchboard: +44 (0)20 8680 8099 Fax: +44 (0)20 8686 7911 www.aspmedia.co.uk www.aspevents.net An ISO9001 registered company. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
