I thought your god was keeping you safe

[Lemon Curry]

I can’t seem to get the answer that question out of anyone.

It doesn't matter which word we choose whether it be the 'N' word, the 'C' word or the 'X' word.

dritch said, and I paraphrase, that it seemed to him that it was acceptable to insult a christard on this forum but not acceptable to use the N word and, if he (dritch) referred to anyone using the N word, they would feel insulted.  Hope that I have represented that accurately. If not, my sincere apologies.  

Boru the stated that this wasn't the case and said that he wouldn't feel insulted if anyone referred to him (Boru) as the N word.  

dritch then said that this was because Boru wasn't black.

Boru then posted and signed it N-word Boru.

I then referred to Boru as N-Word Boru.  Not to insult but to support.

I then posted and signed it Lemon Shirt Lifter Curry in support of Boru.

For me, this is about three things:

1.  We are all too bloody PC to the point where effective communication is impossible these days because we all fear being referred to as a racist or an X-ist.  Me, I couldn't give a tinker's cuss what people think of me.  I never have and I never will.  I care about what I think of me.  The rest of you, go to hell - unless you will get in my grave on my behalf so that I can have a few more years.  To you, I will listen for you have shown you care about me.

2.  It isn't the terms we use that's important, it's the intent.  Some people are too stupid to recognise the difference or even that there is a difference.  Well, I have no time for stupid people.

3.  People are all too quick off the mark to being offended on behalf of others.  To those I would say "fuck you."   And, if you are offended by that remark, as the great Stephen Fry once said, "so fucking what." 

You now have an answer.
