um, just fyi, i was not selectively outraged or judging anything regarding the OPs perspective [or anything else in this thread, actually], merely pointing out that there are uses for things beyond the obvious... just because i'm not outraged at anything doesn't mean i can't voice my opine or thoughts... [shrug]

personally, i think there's room enough for everyone's perspectives and likes/dislikes, and it's not a requirement that we all agree.  if we all shared roughly the same ideas and emotional tolerances, etc., how do we ever progress as a species, or as individuals?
