I DO have a big gut, but no mirrored sunglasses, chewing tobacco, confederate flag license plate, etc. ;-) Jeffery Smith New Orleans, LA http://www.400tx.com -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jsmith342=cox.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jsmith342=cox.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Arche, Harvey Sent: Saturday, April 15, 2006 12:34 AM To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: [Leica] melting time? Jeffery, I'm surprised that as a white Southerner you haven't realized that you belong to a minority that the most of the rest of the country feels entirely safe, if not proper, in vilifying. Especially in motion pictures and television. Arche Jeffrey wrote: We use it as a gentler form of "forbidden". I realize that the social mores of Europe and the United States are not identical. But in the past 50 years we (in the US) have tried to eradicate ethnic slurs to a fault. It is relatively uncommon to see them in motion pictures any more, and they are virtually never heard on television.
