Now that I think of it -- if we should go out of our way to offend people, why would Slowwy, MTG, TCO and other veterans have any problems with offensive remarks made in memorial threads??
How dare they express being offended!! PC fanatics!!A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

I remember on the Straightdope there was a HUGE thread on whether or not using the word "****sucker" was demeaning to gays as it implied there was something wrong with gay oral sex.
As somebody who supports gay marriage and adoption, even I think that was a bit too sensitive. Boris? Asher? What do y'all think?
(I'm looking for serious answers, btw - if you're interested, I can probably dig up the thread for you (but I hope not because the SDMB search function is as slow as, well, Sloww. )

You see my point?
Sometimes the PC words are even MORE offensive than the 'normal' words.
