Whilst i would NEVER support a ban or censorship of the word or it variations, because banning words is probably among the most dangerous notions humans can concieve of. I do not use it outside of educational purposes simply because it is a word I consider it unsuitable to the vocabulary of a lady or gentleman.
I agree, mostly. I don't support censorship either. I think people should be allowed to do as they please as long as they don't hurt anyone else. . . but I do put limits on "hurt anyone else". By hurt, I mean harm. I couldn't care less about other peoples feels unless I care about that person to begin with. My friends and I call each other niggers. We're white. The word has absolutely no meaning as far as we're concerned. We don't hate black people and I think I speak for all of us when I say we do believe everyone is equal, regardless of race, gender, sexual preference. . . maybe not religion, that depends on certain stances on certain things. . . But if I want to call my friend a n****r some someone else wants to get offended, they can kick rocks. I'm not going to censor who I am for the convenience of someone else.
I think the only difference we have on the matter is that you use the word and I don't. smile
