You see me now, a veteran Of a thousand psychic wars I've been living on the edge so long Where the winds of limbo roar And I'm young enough to look at And far too old to see All the scars are on the inside I'm not sure that there's anything left of me
What I take great offense to is when someone goes on a literary witch hunt against classic novels because a character uses "nigger" in dialogue. Such censorship all for the sake of "political correctness" is abhorrant and should be laughed out of a court of law.
True enough, but is this really happening? Or are you just getting worked up at the thought of it happening? And why is that, anyway?

I'm no Luddite, but might it not be significantly more exact to add the qualification "that can be found on the Internet"?
Well, I supposed it makes it easier to hide the stupid things some of us may have posted (especially in university) to Usenet back in the 80s and early 90s.
Or, indeed, in the late 90s. I, for one, welcome our new search-free-Usenet overlords.
If I own a company that profits from providing a particular service, then I damn well don't want the government walzing in and offering the same thing and undercutting me.
I'm sure you don't, but tough shit. If I'm a citizen, I don't think my town should be legally obligated to stay out of any market you feel like making a profit in. Tell it to the water authority!
Your snot is human? Sorry man, but this is ridiculous.
Crime-scene investigators find some blood on some surface; among the questions they ask is, "Is that human blood?" Of course, human blood doesn't have human rights, but that doesn't mean that in the word "human" has a different meaning in each case.

Say no more! I now know I need not watch this adaptation. Ugh. What were they thinking?
I think your point would be more valid if it weren't for the fact that the skin-color of the characters is often a significant plot point.
Let me just add "Star Cops."

My money is on the one from the 70s, which I, too, thought quite a competent "translation," thought it's still worth reading the story.
It's off to the creep lab for you, my friend.
You're obviously not listening to enough marketroids.
As David Brent says, this was back "before racism was bad."
Wow, Mellon Bank. They are no more.

Oh, great! So you just assume they're going to hell!

Can someone comment on this as a design methodology? How does this work, exactly? "Listen, patch: you be stable, now. You hear me? Be stable!"
Try "before": it's better.

The part of speech you were looking for is an adjective.
Of course it does. Just look at how much farther rich children climb up the ladder of education.
They didn't survive the transplant.
