- # Could someone not ignore my post and respond.

- The net is swarming with unsupervised children that pop into a group
- here and there, drop an insult or two, and move on before anyone can
- respond. You expect special treatment?

-
- Eddie Murphy is funny. You are not. The "jive" filter is simply
- preadolescent, towel-snapping humor. It wouldn't be any funnier if
- you had run that text through the "valley girl" or "yankee" filters.

- # I'm tired of hearing white males get bashed on TV by movies and

- # wife cleans up mess) and comedians and then hearing a minority

-
- Oh, I get it.

- Heard any good retarded Serb jokes recently?
-
- This silliness is not the basis for a philosophical discussion about
- stereotypes.
-
- Have a nice life.
