Quote by: SoccerfreakAB2 Go to any high school and you see black kids use the word nigger and nigga all the time. Rap artists paint the word in their lyrics every other sentence. If it's such a bad word, why do they persist to use it? Words aren't weapons either, actions are. Come on, you know better. |
Sorry, I suppose I'm just stupid then, because I happen to believe words CAN be used as weapons. You can indeed hurt the unarmed and innocent with words. You can't hurt me, for instance, but you can hurt others and that is almost ALWAYS unnecessary.
Not as seriously as a baseball bat to the head, but words, properly used can hurt.
So why the defense of such words? You have the right to say them and I have the right to be angered by them. THAT is freedom. You sound like you advocate one side only, where you can say whatever you want and everyone else must just put up with it. The real world ain't quite like that and if you want proof, just go into a bar with a lot of large motorcycles parked outside and say everyone at the bar's mother is a whore.
But give me your address first, because I'll need to know where to send the flowers.
