I hate to say it but forget this little project and devote your time to
something more constructive, like relacing your sneakers.

        Isn't that kinda harsh?

Sorry, but the idea of Ranma and Kasumi as a *couple* really made me go: 
ICK!
 
One thing I would like to mention though, you really shoundn't be too
difinitive about one particular subject..."I was born this way!".  That
is a HUGE topic of debate.  The argument over life on Mars will probably
be resolved first.
I like to avoid such topics and it might be wise if everyone did.

        True, it _is_ a huge topic of debate... but, what, avoiding it is
going to make it better?  Whether homsexuality (or, for that matter,
heterosexuality) is a biological a social occurance is a tough subject...
but progress, and understanding, will only occur if people actually
confront the topic.  And, from the looks of things, the porblem of life
on Mars _is_ over!

I don't ignore things to make them better, I choose to ignore them as not 
to offend anyone.  Even straightlaced evanglists.  It makes my life 
simpler.

        Personally, I liked the 'fic.  Thought is was a funny line.  

Me too!

just can't take it too seriously.  Nabiki's follow-up was great.


Ditto.
      ....

By the way, did anyone consider writing a fanfic about Akane & Ranma if
Akane were a lesbian?

        That would be interesting.  And no one's (to my knowledge) has
written about Ranma worrying if he's homsexual (though it's been hinted
at here and there.)

I'd love to write that fanfic, but I have too many other projects.  Also, 
 I can't really find a PLOT to go with that idea....
