But only if they are told they are offensive. The worst to me is the ever increasing list of words you cannot call minorities even though many were their own creation and once they were demanding to be called that which now is verboten.
I imagine it went this way, there were slurs so they came up with a word that was descriptive but benign to the situation, they insisted they be called retarded, a word indicating being slower. But people can’t handle the truth and became offended so now folks are reluctant to even use the word in its normal meaning. Then we moved to handicapped, now that is a slur by some definitions.
The whole curse word thing makes me laugh. Words are just sounds unless you assign a meaning to that sound. If saying god d**** is bad when you hit your thumb with a hammer how is goll dang different? Instead of shut the f*** up, shut the front door, the intent is the same it just cursing in code.
