[QUOTE="Hank Scorpio, post: 6973908, member: 48482"] I think he'd watched 12 years a slave and made the ham fisted comparison. For balance Eamon Ryan got slated for dropping the N bomb in the Dail. As I recall he was saying it was an unacceptable word to use. Which only highlights the idiocy of trying to police language. Context is everything. For instance if I say everyone who uses the term 'nigger' as a derogatory term to people of colour is a disgusting racist is this a controversial or unacceptable use of language? You cannot just say word X is taboo and is not to be used in any circumstances. [/QUOTE]
