I thought the cracker comment was funny and not offensive in any way. We’re all adults here. FLU was clearly joking. Please nobody start worrying about whether others will be offended by certain words, no matter what you do or say in life someone somewhere will be offended so don’t even try. I like the loose nature of this blog. In the non-cyber world I’ve been called a crazy cracker, a pinche yankee, and a stupid, white motherfucker on numerous occasions (usually at the poker table). Getting offended is a choice.
I travel a lot and am absolutely disgusted by the treatment I get from some airline employees; however, they are a small percentage (maybe 2%) compared to the great treatment I’ve gotten from airline employees… Unfortunately the super-offensive 2% are the ones we all remember, and not the wonderful 98%.
