I find the word jersey offensive yet you flaunt it in front of me daily.
I prefer not to use insults.
but if your with friends and your friend trips over a crayon, whats wrong with calling him stupid?
I think this whole thing goes too far and convolutes simple things.
insults are fun jersey girl. did you see me insult gohard in the cardinals forum? I had a blast.
Great argument there.
I can see, once again, there is no getting you to see an opposing side.
Stupid is different than ********. One is a medical/educational diagnosis and the other is just an insult.

I see the side that we should censor everything and all be nice all the time to everyone I just totally disagree ; )
I would argue that ******** means stupid now because the people who you are stating are ******** are now known as mentally disabled not ********.
And I used to have to put bread into something called a retarder.
Being stupid is a medical condition Jersey, I find it insulting that you say stupid is just an insult.
PS: today is probably the slowest day I have ever had at work and i am so bored that this passed 5 minutes and I am soooo thankful for that.

Notice how often you use the word "I" in all of your posts. It seems Jersey is merely recommending empathy. That's always a good way build understanding.
So by that logic it should be okay to call someone a ****** because today black people are called african americans.
I find it pretty ironic that you're encouraging people to use the word ********.
I was being sarcastic about encouraging the word ********. I thought that would be obvious after also claiming the word Jersey was offensive.
I would have thought it was obvious that you're being offensive to some people in this thread, and would have dropped it instead of continuing down the rabbit hole.

I have to confess that I did not know the word "******" was considered a derogatory word. It sounds kind of endearing... like granny.
asking someone why they shouldnt use certain words is offensive? Hope you never watch a george carlin stand up.
thats my entire point, people take offense to silly things.

Well, if you don't mind people thinking you are an ****** then you have no need to care. Publically Carlin didn't seem to care what folks thought of him, but that was the image he created and sold. I think it's fair to assume he related to people in real-life situations less agressively than what he portrayed onstage. That said, I love Carlin. He's my favorite comedian.
was amazing and was always spot on about the crazyness that is PC america.
That may be, but when someone says to you "hey, i find that offensive," is the polite thing to do:
A) say sorry and refrain from doing that in their presence
or
B) argue with them about political correctness going too far?
Personally, if it's someone I respect I'd chose "A." But you go on with your anti-PC routine. It's so charming.
Stay classy, brr.
You sir, are no George Carlin.
