#1 The fact that you can have an outcry, even a police investigation, over words that are not racist in intent, and which have not harmed anyone, takes censorship to a terrifying new level. These days, it doesnt matter what your words mean, or who you say them to. It doesnt even matter if they are true; for example, whether you think it is right or wrong that this kind of thing happens, [...]

rather niggardly in their support, don't you think?

#2 So what do they call "gems"?

What do they call getting "ripped off"?
(2 groups typically slurred on this one)

What do they call governments that break their promises and how is that usually misconstrued as as slur on the victim of the broken promise?

There are so many slurs in everyday use that most people don't even notice them. The ones that are noticed should lighten up. Of course that is very (insert your favorite slur here) of me.

#7 If the shoe fits, wear it, and given that 70+ per cent of American blacks are born out of wedlock, it's an accurate description for most.

As for the thought policing going in in Britain's Conservative Party, they're a bunch of wankers who are showing one hell of a lot of nerve calling themselves "conservative." I'd be surprised if Maggie has much to do with them and Winnie and Dizzy are spinning at 60 Hz in their graves. These "Conservatives" are about as "Conservative" as Al Gore. Britain is screwed.
