The 'n' word thing.

If you are one then it seems you can use it. Same goes for those of different sexual preferences.

As soon as one who is not one uses it then it becomes 'ist'

Then again, these things all change. When I grew up the word 'black' was frowned upon, now it is positively loved!

This is true for all things apart from gingers!! It is, apparently, socially acceptable to shout "ginger" at a ginger person in the street.

Makes me very cross.

Makes me very cross that does, shouting "ginger"

Never understood why

We are good thank you.

You OK?

[A Guy Called Matt]

Personally I do not understand the need to single anybody out for any reason.

We are all just people - though some are nicer than others.

Admittedly I've only just dived back into the forum but I couldn't see even the merest hint of Germans on this page and started to get a bit worried.

Appease the Gods, Efesters.

This is an equal opportunity, unbiased, non-conformist thread.

We praise the Weather Gods not derogate the Germans!

The headline in our local paper the other day was 'school bans ginger haired student from lessons'

Your local paper sounds as odd as ours

[jeffie]

Arf!

[A Guy Called Matt]

Germans are nice

Though the weather gods are far far nicer.

Goodness 15000 you are AMAZING ❤️

Work today and the sun is shining, I'd much rather be in the garden! Lots of great music being posted, it's helping me get through the day, along with brave sir robins glastonbury 2015 playlist xx

On the 'n' word I watched a really interesting documentary a couple of weeks ago 'the things we won't say about race that are true' (Trevor Phillips) it's worth a watch on catch up.

Mr S, not at all.

It's a question, and it deserves an answer.

[jeffie]

I don't apologise for this - DON'T PLAY AT WORK.

Pretty self evident really lol.

It's not words in themselves that are offensive slodge, it's how they are used and the beliefs that people attach to them. If you can't ask about things there's no room for discussion and learning. I'd hope no-one would be offended.
