Bruce and list, To call women "girls" is incredibly out-of-touch with modern attitudes!!. I know you're trying to be playful and arousing, but as a man who tries to be conscious of fairness, I really oppose your posting this kind of joke! It is very disrespectful of women. Signed, A male in support of equal rights and opportunities for women.

NOW you're screwed." >> >> Bruce and listmembers, To use the word "natives," and to choose such a joke to post, represents an unacceptable attitude. Bruce, I am APPALLED that you would choose to publish such trash. A person of mostly African ancestry, and one of our greatest PWP heros, Muhammad Ali, is one of our very best representatives for curing Parkinson's!! Sexism, racism and homophobia have no place on this list, or among the world community of PWP's. Bruce, please find a new type of joke to publish--or else, don't bother. Thank you Ivan Suzman 47/10
