I can't help it. average joe keeps egging me on. July 14 is a date to celebrate, but they should rename it. You don't find it humorous that the storming of the Bastille only freed four forgers, two lunatics, and the Marquis de Sade? I don't think the Marquis is without value, btw. His political tracts were enormously influential. And please don't equate "Eurotrash" (a term that was coined by Taki Theodopopolous <sp?> relatively recently, and not without some affection) with the "n" word, which has quite a different history. I used to word twice, to say that I "kept on saying it" it is an exaggeration.

A man apologizes and you continue to attack him. Not very gracious in my opinion.

Whoa! I read this too fast this morning. What is this supposed to mean? Imagine calling an African-American nigger, repeatedly, despite him saying he does not appreciate it. AND that is a case where the term is actually correct for the context, while Eurotrash is certainly not, since the people it designates are rich and highly educated people with a taste for the fast nightlife. How on earth is calling a black person the n word correct for the context? BTW, I served a lot of rich and highly educated European people with a taste for the nightlife when I was a bartender. Likable, but LOUSY tippers.... You have a good summer as well No, YOU have a good summer...
