In my honest opinion, if someone uses a "vulgar" word but they are not using it towards someone in a negative way, then it really does not matter. For example: A black guy getting offended while overhearing a white use the term "nigger" in a random conversation while not, in any manner, directing that term towards the black guy in any possible way. Therefore, the black guy would have no reason to get offended over the use of that word. I am not by any means racist (one of my best friends is black), I am just giving my opinion that was also what Shake was implying. If it's not used in an offensive manner, then you have no means to get offended by it. And if you do get offended by it when not used in such a negative way, then you are just oversensitive. If someone calls me a cracker, well, so what. It's just a word. If you call me a pasty-skinned piece of shit, well, who gives a damn. These are just words and people need to get over it.Added (2010-09-14, 1:22 Am)

I haven't been on lately, but if people have been overusing these racial slurs, then at least give them a warning or something. Now if people are intentionally being disrespective, then I say ban their asses.
