So we can't call the King a Sassenach?
So for instance, if a politician used a racial slur I could only say something like:
Quote:Today X was caught on a hot mic saying a racial slur. You can find the clip first result on google.Since I wouldn't be able to post a link either. Correct?
"For the only way to eternal glory is a life lived in service of our Lord, FSM; Verily it is FSM who is the perfect being the name higher than all names, king of all kings and will bestow upon us all, one day, The great reclaiming" -The Prophet Boiardi-
Conservative trigger warning.

I'm off to 7/11 for a 32 ounce blueberry slurpee.
Somebody should warn Violet.

I have used them in the context of discussing their social impact precisely because that usage might better convey the impact their victims feels at least a little, and thereby inform the discussion.
If the rules here forbid that, okay. I don't like it but it ain't my forum, and I'm not wedded to my own approach, even if I think this rule waters shit down. I also know now there's some George Carlin videos I can't put up, which is a bummer. (June 2, 2023 at 6:08 pm)Gawdzilla Sama Wrote: So we can't call the King a Sassenach?
