Really, at the end of the day, the best law in this regard is Wheatons Law.  |
I didnt equate PC with the word respect (admiration), you Byron Clark and the huffington post did.
Now what about Kunta Kinte? Who or what determines what a swear word is? Really how does it come about that a words origin which in the beginning had no vulgar, obscene meaning, is now placed on the verbotten list? According to George Carlin the FCC has a list of seven dirty words that cannot be spoken. Yet the Bible doesn't mention a thing about them, and people say the Bible is oppressive, hah!
