[serious] Petition to add the "n" word to the censored list

[Drake Tungsten]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm sick of seeing racists on this board use this slur with impunity. Why exactly is the most offensive word in the English language uncensored while relatively unoffensive words like ****, **** and **** are censored? This needs to be addressed.

[Wiglaf]

You're a douche

[Drake Tungsten]

And you're a racist.

[Japher]

IMO, the most offensive word in the English language is Ming.

Ban him!@

[Kuciwalker]

The correct answer is to take everything else off the censored list.

[Lorizael]

I'd rather go the other direction and have the autocensor removed entirely, but I'm just a dirty Jew.

[Drake Tungsten]

How about a compromise? We put the "n" word on the censored list and take everything else off?

[Lorizael]

I believe that the more a word isn't allowed to be said, the more offensive it becomes. If no words are considered hate speech or obscenity or what have you, then eventually everyone (both those that use the words and those that are offended by the words) will stop giving so much of a **** about them.

[DanS]

Compromise.

[KrazyHorse]

Honestly, I see the reason for the autocensor, and I agree that "******" should be on it. As should "****", "wop", "raghead" and any other of the nuclear bombs of ethnic slurs. I'd also add "******" to the list.

[EPW]

I wish Obama would act more niggardly.

[Japher]

How's that? Steal stuff and eat at KFC all the time?

[EPW]

For those with limited vocabularies.

I'm a honkey, and proud.

[Lorizael]

You didn't actually fool anyone, EPW. In fact, I bet Drake would agree that Obama should be more niggardly. But this is kind of a serious topic to some, so try to stay on topic.
