    Twice today. Trying to shave that last pound or two off to fit in a tux tomorrow.

    You forgot "Work harder" and "Bootstraps."

    Like fat people making fat jokes, only hard workers can mock hard work.

    You are so bad.

    I wasn't thinking anything remotely like that, and I'm sorry it caused you to, um, blow a gasket, just to use your words in reference to me.

    What I was thinking was that the parents could/should take that responsibility. And that would be the case with the parents/kids of any race.

    Now, we're done.

    And, just for the record, I don't "task in," ever, at my job. Only the overnighters do that.

    Dick, I hear the argument frequently that people are overoffended by words. Generally I agree.

    You, however, have demonstrated why racial slurs and other words that exist primarily to offend or belittle have been targeted by the PC crowd.

    I'm not sure that there is any appropriate use of the n-word in the year 2015. I know Obama threw it out to make a point, and Michael Wilbon used to toss out some weak rationale for why it was appropriate in certain circumstances.

    You have demonstrated any number of cases where it serves no purpose.
