"BTW I used wog in response to someone who was concerned about investing somewhere other than North America. Obviously they had a problem with non white people inhabiting their area of possible investment so it was used as a sendup of them."

Many people fear political risk in investing, I'm one of them, but this is the first time I have heard it related to the colour of their skin. Your post was directed to Canuck Dave, and that sure doesn't sound like him, but that's between the two of you.

"It is a term casually used by Brits everywhere and only since political correctness was born has the term become "offensive"."

Oh I see, a term of endearment. The US used to have a very popular one in the south, but it appears to have become offensive as well. I guess one cannot have nearly as much fun since bigotry went out of vogue.

"Anyone who knows me, knows that I can be quite offensive at times."

Your shitting me.......right?

I doubt we will have further need to communicate.
