Re: Ethical Question
A fiction is a fiction. Don't try to be "politicaly correct", write what you have in mind. That's my opinion.

Re: Ethical Question
Deadstar, you're writing a work of fiction, IMHO you should not let the 'Real-World' dictate or otherwise censor what happens in your story. If people can't understand the difference between 'Fiction' and 'Real-World' then they need to be re-educated!
Personally I have no difficulty seeing the difference. (Just don't hurt any Smurfs in the writting of your story and I'll be ok!)
another 2 cents (at 50% off) for your reading pleasure!
Cheers!
Edit:..and with this post I have been promoted! (Note, any future 2 cents will be at 25% off due to the higher cost of uniforms!)

Re: Ethical Question
Smurfs????
Oh man, that Smurfette must be hot!!! She keeps them all happy. 
Maybe we should start a poll:
Pick One:
a). Smurfette
b). Wilma Flintstone
c). Betty Rubble
d). Mr. limp wrist

Re: Ethical Question
People that are overly politically correct need to be taken out back and shot. Well, maybe not shot, but smacked upside the head instead, cause murder is kinda bad. There is too great a trend to sterilize everything so that no one could possibly be offended nowadays. It is sickening.

Well, I would go further and say not only is "murder kinda bad", it is bad. 
Smacking a person in the head is another form of violence which I disagree with.

Re: Ethical Question
How about sterilizing the idiots?
I like the Darwin Awards... ( www.darwinawards.com)
(do a search for "Jewish Mean Time")

Re: Ethical Question
being offensive != offending someone.
being offensive != artistic.
1 cent per advice
