my apology

By Im_going_to_cry_now

okay, I would like to formally apologize for my work entitled "The Japanese Must Be Stopped." Though it certainly was not intended to be, I see now that it can very easily be seen as racist. In retrospect I should have noticed this earlier, but retrospect is not very useful. Therefore I would now like to apologize to anyone who was offended by this particular work. It was a horrendous mistake and rest assured the poem has been revised. I only hope that this does not influence your opinions of me or my works, and that we can all just forget about this. I hope to be putting up some better non-racist work up soon.

sincerely,
Beaver

    well, It's my own fault so I can't really bitch about it. The proverb is very appropriate, I'll try to remember it

    Kuchi wa wazawai no moto. trans. ~The mouth is the root of trouble~ (a japanese proverb). You are forgiven, but I also agree with Stalker, no one is going to forget any time soon. Brian

    ..and just remember, no one that read it is just going to forget it, but that does not mean you can't redeem your standing with people...it takes time, but since none of us are going anywhere, time's all you got... Scholar
