I (In Australia) have never heard the term fagget used to mean stupid - so
Paul, I thought you meant that Manson was homosexual (hey, fair call if you
know no better) and was evil.
I thought, how rude, narrow minded etc - but did I flame you or make some
great statement? No. But I think it is fair that some people did. Now
whether the 'fagget means stupid' argument means that in your area or not,
who cares - to Paul thats what it meant. I think a popular brand car in
Australia means wanker in Africa - so if I said that in africa, would I be
so bad?
And anyway? in the end of the day does it really matter? Please no more.
On a U2 note, what does the sweetest thing sound like? Is it technoish?
(see I am not as die hard as most of you) - I cant download sounds too, as
my Internet history gets scanned by a company called web-spy which is hired
by the government to catch us out.
Reason I ask, is that I heard some technoish song on the radio the other
day, thought hey this is crap, and turned on my cd for a few minutes. Then
I turned back to the radio, and when the current song ended they said that
was ***, and before it was U2's new one, the sweetest thing! I was like!
SHIT - I missed it. Bum - there you go, I was narrow minded and slagged
off my favourite band by mistake! (I did this to Numb too - took a while
to get used to that I tell ypu!)

Oh, and I think Steves (? the LDS guy - sounds like a drug!) post was
really interesting and insightful. Thanks for posts like that.
