- Like Melinda said, it's more like 'Oh no, all that Furr crap again'.
- And it's because of crap like this. You simply can't talk about
- what you find attractive without telling people that they should be

- people have different tastes than you do and just shut the fuck up
- and let people think the way they want to.
