LilMissAlexandria: 5 countrys in the world call it soccer every other country in the world football so wo is right?? LilMissAlexandria: Isnt it just the 5 or 6 nations in the world who call it soccer the 5 most arrogant countrys in the world wog is a racist term in uk so please dont use it LilMissAlexandria: its still a world wide site the w word u used has been used to discriminate against black people AussieOi: The world wide is a messy place of many different definitions, in an Australian context 'wog' is generally eastern and southern european ppls over here. I suggest getting off your linguist narrowing high horse if you want a broad vibrant language. _Nicotina_: The woman simple asked you not to use a term she found offensive as do many others. Surly you can see the merit in that and if you can't there is but one question to ask. Are you always that rude to people, AussieOi, or merely stupid? AussieOi: Stupid and rude? Nice to meet you too. Excuse me but i've seen my Australian cultural development of language snipped and santitised by over-sensitive middle class correctness. To argue a relaxed attitude that isn't touchy and a richer use of language is by no means stupid. And if used in context very few words are rude. So save your barbs pls. _Nicotina_: Whoa, overreaction there. Apparently you missed the point. Do you see merit in being asked to not use a word that a person finds offensive when talking/typing to them? AussieOi: In fact I generally use 'wog' with my 'wog' friends who are completely fine with it and its only they who should take offence not those uptight wowsers. Its all about context and I'm free to use it in context. Dun limit me and in exchange I won't limit you. LilMissAlexandria: this is not australia its worldwide hense you have to be more careful with language |
