    When it's a world where you have to watch what you say or you might get fired.. I don't think that's any better.

      Oh my goodness, people have to show TACT!!! The only thing that has been cut down on are the number of stupid and needlessly stereotypical, racist, and sexist comments that are made.

      If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

        But why? Who cares if what we say hurts others. If I got something on my mind, I should be able to say it with impunity. Screw other peoples feelings! I'm not a Native American, so I could care less how they feel. Shoot, I got to worry about Brittany, Paris and make damn sure I keep track of which polititians have wide potty stances. I can't bothered with cultural sensitivity!!! I've never been on the wrong end of it in any significant way...and I'm starting to believe it's all just pretend. lol.

        Also, though it amazes me that this logic was used...I have to say that if their was a league called the Native American league, comprised of Native Americans...I somehow think they would not be offended at that terminology. Conversly, if the Negro league championship was between the Pittsburgh Porch Monkeys and the Spokane Spear Chukkers..there would probably be a problem.

          Because people have a right to go to their job or wherever else and not have to deal with some idiot harrasing them with ignorant comments. If you want to say whatever you want then say it at home or with your friends.

            How is the name of a professional sports team harrasing other people?

            If you don't want to see it, don't watch.

              The topic changed a couple of posts ago.

                  Caucasian.

                  Why does it matter?

                    ...*sigh*

                    With apologies to the original poster...I'm going to lock this, because it's getting off track and headed toward a very ugly place.

                    Since Mike said it was alright to post, I'll see what he has to say in regards to possibly re-opening it.
