    As a person who went through two years of speech therapy, I can only speak for me and a few others I have known. Please be patient with them, as sometimes the stuttering is accentuated by being self-conscious or nervous.

    Lets take the word itself 'terror-ist' and break it down to the syntax. Terror; to frighten, one that inspires fear. Now the word of the -ist; one that adheres to or advocates a (specified) doctrine or system or code of behavior hence the word of TERROR-IST. It is a tool of a group of people to get the targeted group of people to capitulate/surrender to their demands. To move with force. The TERROR-IST groups that are trying to get the world to capitulate/surrender are of the MUSLIM religion as anyone can see and can document worldwide TERROR-IST acts upon the world at large.

    A farmer was in his rice paddy one day and complaining that he did not have alot because he was taking care of his mother in the one room hut his family was living in; He would have more rice and room. His son would see how he would treat his mother by pushing her to the smallest corner of the hut and would feed her last of the food as leftovers in a cracked bowl. Eventually the mother died. The father was happily removing all of his mothers OLD belongings that were of no need to him, in the end his son was there watching this and his father tossed the cracked bowl into the burn pile. The son raced to retrieve the cracked bowl and brought it inside brushing off the ashes. the father asked his son why he got cracked bowl and his reply was we cannot get rid of this, we need this for when YOU get OLD. I am not saying it is right for a person to be rude because of age but, there are two types of respect. One is given, common courtesy; Yes please, no thank you; etc. The other is earned, via the passage of time as of being elderly. Be careful what you wish for, you just might recieve what is asked.

    At the conclusion of hostilities of the gulf war in 1991 and the UN Resolution completed by removing Saddam Hussien from Kuwait as he crossed the border into Iraq. Any thing that had happened after such time was a internal problem. Now considering the statment that the car lobby is in cahoots with the oil companies is not true. If you look around at the everyday items we use all around the world will be perspective ie; plastics, styrofoam, polyester, rayon, Lady's nylons and the soothing touch of a mothers hand with PETROLEUM JELLY--vaseline on a bottom with diaper rash. We use alot more oil because of the convenience of our modern age. There are many more to name but it far outways what we use for fueling the most expedient mode of transport.

    'Am I too sensitive, or more sensitive than even the 'victims' would be? Upon reading your post I would say yes. The comment does not affect you directly in the context of heresay, someone else describing a movie. Yes it is always correct to avoid 'political correctness' due to the fact that you are being nice without being nice. You cannot be brutally honest but you can phrase it such a way as to be truthful. If the film was 'gay' as stated what was wrong with the description as such. There are no 'victims' to the truth.

    First; Here is the correct definition of Yiddish: (A) High German language written in Hebrew characters that is spoken by Jews and descendants of Jews of central and eastern European origin. Now about EBONICS. From the time of the civil war and before it is safe to say that blacks were kept from learning to read or write in the public schools but it did not deter blacks from wanting to. A case in point is Fredrick Douglass of the civil war period. He was great a debater and orater that was taught his 'letters' by Sophia Auld in 1827 and through his OWN initiative learns to read, write and do arithmetic. Becoming publisher and editor of the North Star and the Fredrick Douglass'papers. There are many examples of wanting to persevere and doing so; Clarence Thomas, Andrew Young and Judge Joe Brown to name a few. In conclusion, EBONICS is just a lazy way of communicating and not using the English language to its full potential i.e. 'Talking White'.
