A D.C. government employee was fired two years ago for using the word "n*ggardly" in a conversation with another employee. The word "n*ggardly" is an old English word that means "persimoniously", or "excessively thrifty" and has no connection with the "N word" that sounds similar to it but is based on the Spanish word for "black".
That wasn't good enough for the D.C. government, which fired the employee for misconduct.
Don't you just love it when "progressives" talk about freedom of speech? Of course, what they mean when they say that, is that they believe in the freedom to say anything you want... as long as you don't say anything that they disagree with.
A paper I wrote was published in the early 90's. I used the word *****rdly in a discriptive context, the word was edited out and another word was placed in it's stead, to the detriment of my statement. My contract with the publisher gave them the right to edit as needed. When I asked for an explanation, I was told the word may be 'offensive' to some readers. I was offended that they thought black Americans who would read my paper (a boring, scholarly piece)were so uneducated they wouldn't know the meaning of the word.
edit: I see that the CD-PC posting police also believe the word is too hard for the black CD members to read and understand.
While it is true most pedophiles are heterosexual males, an interesting, well-known and alarming statistic reveals that out of the 1-2% of homosexuals in the population, fully 30% are also pedophiles.
Probably the same place that "other" person (you know who I mean ) got his...and he wouldn't give it either.
Yes and then when you challenge him or ask for a source he gets all defensive and makes the grand proclamation for the whole world to know that he has OFFICIALLY put you on Ignore.

The ultimate in insolent patronizing, isn't it?
