So just think! Luke, x -------------------- Always Going For GOLD  | ||||

Obviously, if someone is making racist comments towards someone with malicious intend then that is clearly not okay. However, a light hearted joke in the right context is often harmless and not meant to cause offence. --------------------  Joined September '04 | ||||

Sure, it might be okay with us, but what happens when it is said in the public lobby, or around new members? If anyone were to take offense it would be very bad for everyone. I am perfectly sure you can use a different name or nickname instead of using racist remarks. --------------------  This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! 7th Highest Overall for Wars Attended. | ||||

I'm not advocating the use of racist remarks however, i'm just saying that some jokes, with slightly racist undertones, shouldn't be taken to seriously. For instance: "You ****ing n*****" Not Okay But "How many Australians does it take to change a lightbulb?" Is probably fine. -------------------- Joined September '04 | ||||

| IRC Nickname: Group: Guest Posts: 26 Member No.: 2715 Joined: April 24, 2011 Total Events Attended: 1 | I completely agree with many of the previous posts. Hate to just repeat the same thing over and over but. Is there any particular reason for anyone to ever need to say the word? I think many like to say it just for rebellious factor. If your not allowed to say it, then you want to say it more. Its obvious that it is a racial slur and it can be offensive to some people. Also bothers me when people say its just a word. Just a terrible argument in my eyes. Just my opinions though  Everyone is welcome to criticize! --------------------  | ||||

Yea, I'm sure that would be fine, but depends the audience it is with, and the context it is in. -------------------- This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name! 7th Highest Overall for Wars Attended. | ||||
