I generally try to be a reasonable poster and argue fairly, although the more insane an argument you present, the more sarcastic I become. I've reeled myself in a few times in this debate and slipped a few others.
Really this debate comes down to respect, which is the problem with some of those arguing (and usually a major issue with debate in general).

Well no, the issue isn't about respect, the issue is about whether or not a population deems something offensive or not. Clearly they don't.
Of course, it doesn't agree with your view, therefore must make embellishments (including gratuitous use of the n word) and be condescending to those who dare disagree, hence your discussion with other members on this page who couldn't fathom why someone would think differently.
