Especially since he can't spell the insult he's attepting to write.
Fine, it's spelled kawaiikunai. :)
Ahem, "kawaiikune."

And yet another mis-spelling of that simple, easy to spell word.

That is debatable. IMO, Ranma does love Ukyou (and this has been shown in 
many fics).
It's possible for two guys to love one another as
friends and sometimes that love is as strong
as a love between a man and his wife.

But it's not eros love if it's friendship... and we're talking about eros
love, not the other types...

and who is also sneaky and underhanded 
You sure you're talking about Ukyou here? I mean what has she done that's 
sneaky/underhanded? Drug Ranma's food? No, Shampoo did that. Drug Ranma's 
flowers? No, Kodachi did that.
In the manga, Ukyou tried to set up Akane and Ryouga
to try and break Ranma's "affection" for her... without
Ranma's knowledge.  Survey says, "SNEAKY!"

Very, very sneaky indeed!

Enjoy the nice, loveless, semi-homosexual
marriage!
Nice, yes. Loveness, no. Semi-homosexual? Oh come on, you think Ukyou is 
less feminine than Akane? Not really. Ukyou does wear men's clothing, but 
other than that she's much more feminine than Akane (see above).
HEY KUN-CHAN!  Ranma admits often that he thinks Ukyou
is cute.  That takes at least some kind of physical 
attraction, ne?

I can say that person X on tv is cute, but it doesn't mean that I love them
or that I want to get into bed with them. :p  Saying that someone's cute
or not doesn't have anything to do with love... sometimes not even to do with
physical attraction. In Ranma's case, he said it to cheer her up and to stop
her fighting with him. Maybe he thinks she may look cute, but he also said
that Shampoo was cute. He said that Akane isn't cute, but that was only out
loud. He says to himself that Akane's cute... It's just that Ranma has 
trouble expressing the *truth* when it's too close to home. If he had real
feelings of love for Ukyou, not friendship, he wouldn't call her cute in
public - he probably wouldn't call her cute at all, apart from maybe to
himself a few times.

What does everyone else think? Should Ranma marry Akane, Ukyou, or Shampoo?
Personally, I vote for Akane.  I just like her better,
that's all.

Well, Akane's the only real choice. Ranma doesn't want anyone else.

Kun-chan...
