This thing about the most shocking things on TV

Some guy talking about what words are offensive. It is my view that no word in itself is offensive, but the meaning behind it that causes the offence.

Now, the words they are using as examples are "wog, n****r, p**i, c***k" and so on. Are these words offensive straight away just because of past contexts in which they have been used, or does it need the feeling behind it?

I could use the example of black people referring to each other as "my n****r"

No offence between black people, (from what I’ve seen personally), and yet people that are not black seem to cause offence immediately. Just watch Rush Hour.

So, what are your thoughts on this potentially lockable topic?

:-)

No.. you have fans out there.

I'm hated...*sniff*

But I still get blocked???

*Sniff*

You didn't do anything, at all. Although, you did talk too much.
I kid. :^) No reason at all for the blockage. Don't worry, though, it's not because I hate you. I do love you really, in an online sort of way.

Why me? What did I do?

Or not do, you dirty lass.

Blocked on MSN? Everyone's blocked except for one person.

Stop calling me that. It does nothing for me...

Ok, a little odd PS...Why am I blocked on your list?

I don't want to grow up, grandad.

Toys wont work without it

NY, you need to grow up...

Trust me
