I tend to agree, which is why I'm not talking about what I find offensive,
but about what might cause offense. I'd love to see Jerry Springer the
Opera, but not on this list.
Some people have said that this list is relatively civilised, and I agree.
I think part of the reason for that is that people are prepared to take
time out to discuss this issues.
