Hi Ani,ani said:Hi kathryn d
As a mere member I think we can talk about most things as long as it stays in line with the original post. What was being posted was WAY off Duncan's original post.
You and monopoly could have "discussed" via PM instead of hijacking the thread
A pity that Duncan's really interesting thread was locked as a result
Ajax said:This talk of politically correct posts has reminded me of something I saw on channel 7 last week. It was one of the new style cartoon programs for adults (was it American Dad? or Family Guy?).
The protagonist was accused of being tactless with comments such as the time when....The cartoon then fades to a a guy in a hospital bed with a marching band entering the room (the protagonist leading) singing "We've got your results. You've got the AIDS...not the HIV...the full blown AIDS...(repeat chorus) etc"
I suppose this is just another example of US society leading the rest of the world in desensitizing its people to the plight of others. Not sure what others thought but it concerned me. If I had the responsibility for censoring TV programs I would have cut this scene from the program.

Yes, I also apologise, for my intent was not to offend or hi jack the thread. I just have to live everyday with the aftermath of that divorce.
If that thread in unlocked or another of the same name is started I promise not to respond.

After 8 pages it will evolve. When I read the guidelines of the coffee lounge it said "All discussion is welcome in the coffee lounge, sit down, kick back, and post. I like to throw controversial curve balls in to liven up discussion!"
That was from you?
I have apogized. That includes Geoff.
If I'm not welcome here, say so, and I will delete Somersoft from my favorites.
