| Welcome to Our Hoosier Board! Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions. Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful. Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

In other words, you feel it's a disrespectful but just don't give a shit, and therefore if someone takes offense to it they are just being a pussy. |

being offended is a valid emotion, but I guess the frustration comes from the over sensitivity. If someone tells me my Mother is ugly, or my daughter is a bitch, it's pretty valid for me to be offended and reply in kind. I'm not asking for a law to be written that prevents them from saying it though. I think it's beyond insane to even insinuate that a crackhead should be offended by the word crackhead......I mean, a crackhead knows that it's bad to be a crackhead don't they? It's not designed to be a positive term. |

Brian, you think it's appropriate for people to get so offended by the dumb stuff floating out there and to make such a big deal out of it? No gotcha here...seriously, shouldn't we lighten up as a society and not be so damn sensitive to some of this shit? |

I don't think any racial slurs should be tolerated and I don't think people should be telling others not to be offended by racial slurs. |

I don't think the criticism against political correctness is really leveled against the use of racial slurs. |

But who says that you get to determine what 'some of this shit' is? You've already stated that 'redskins' is a derogatory term.....and it's a derogatory term that is specific to one race. We aren't talking about a nickname like Braves which could have a positive connotation. |
