The N word. Have we become too precious?

When I was at school, not too long ago, we chanted 'sicks and stones will break our bones but names will never hurt us'.

On last night's BBC TV news, the fact that the N word was used in a reality TV show (big brother) came immediately after the news that 5 million black people in Africa are to die from aids next year. Have we lost any sense of priority in England today? Or is it just that we are being bullied by a very thin skinned minority group from Jamaica? .
I once called a thief an 'F N' in Cairo Road, Lusaka and everyone agreed with me. I was only just able to stop him being beaten up by passersby.
What the hell is going on in England? I think that we have totally lost all common sense and always give in to the most violent minority groups.

admin answers:

For the want of a better term, the 'PC left' have taken over, using the rights they have granted to minority groups, as a basis for controlling and oppressing the majority.

It is perfectly obvious, as used to be the case in more sensible times, that name calling should be handled at the social level, IE. As rudeness, bad manners, etc. What you don't do, is invoke the law into areas of social interaction. Why? Because it causes more problems than it solves, and creates frustration because people don't feel that they can say what they think, even if isn't socially acceptable. You really shouldn't use the law to control what people think and say. Excluding slander etc, of course.

By using the law, you may prevent healthy use of banter from breaking down barriers caused by differences, thereby, increasing tension. Men, in particular, have always used banter as a means of breaking down barriers.

I like the tree names best. Think they would sound good in a sentence - the meeting is in the oak room.

HARRY POTTER FANS: Identify the HP fan!!!!?

Yeah, we always have questions like 'identify the HP character', but no one cares about fans, so this is a tribute to each and every HP fan out there!! (Sorry I could include only some)

these are b&a regulars and major HP fans-

(i) She is / was the wife of the Hp character which is known for his grudged-love for the boy-who-lived, her account recently got suspended, but she has regained her contacts. identify her.

(ii) She likes to type her name in bold letters and has an avatar that laughs out loud, she is particularly twi-hater and is my first contact, (oh..i just gave it away)

(iii) He shares his name with the boy who shared his dormitory with Harry, who had loathed the first Wingardium Leviosa lesson.

(iv) She is now known to be the lover of the rich man who is married and has a brat of a kid who enjoyed bullying Harry around.

(v) She calls herself the wife of the brat, this is easy.

(vi) this one refers to two users who refer Harry's best friend as their monarch.

(vii) This user likes to change her name, first she called herself an idiot, then she switched over to a clown and now she has a kinda 'sweet note'or her name.

(viii) She/He shares her last name with the gentle werewolf, and has the first name for a precious stone.

(ix) He is the creature with an Eagle's torso and a lion's body, and loves you all!!

----------------------------------------
PLEASE PLEASE star the question to make it popular among B&A regulars!!
Here are more~

x) She is no more regular on B&A, but we will always remember her 'cause she was no. 5th in something that ought to have only three.

xi) Her name is something that will cure even the deadliest wounds.

xii) She offers something that is a mode of transport in the magical world, but it requires a clean tongue 🙂
In the fifth one, yeah, DOD is correct, but I thought of Malfoy's Mistress instead. Anyway keep 'em coming.
*** (xiii) She has a smiling rainbow for her avatar, and is known for her random polls.
