Iggy Pop in 'P-word' race row

is by far the worst word.

I happen to work in a cuntslime factory, and I am HIGHLY offended by that comment.

bad grammar<good racism.

My gran still thinks that everyone not white is guilty until proven innocent.

Bless the daft old duffers.

i've been known to do that. only if i've ehard them use it first though.

but, not being one, is it still wrong?

Hmmm.

it was deafening.

that the word in question only has racist connotations over here.

bush once referred to the entire pakistani nation as "the pakis", and if he said it then it must be socialy acceptable.

I can firmly state that I was devastated when I heard Mr Pop say this word. My mother rushed to cover my ears, and, as we wept in terror, there was a great dash to turn the radio off.

I don't think I'll ever recover from this ordeal. I believe Mr Pop should be banished from the world.

"Sticky melon cunt".

Mat MBA's would be "twunt".

Probably just didn't realise it wasn't an acceptable word over here.

Example: in Australia the word "wog" means something totally different and isn't considered particularly offensive (or so I've been told by an Aussie friend, who was of Maltese descent and, therefore, a "wog").

i.e. defending Bernard Manning

wouldn't have stood for slacking like this

By the photo at the top of this article.

it is like the Tollund Man.

Didn't quite catch that.

is a word used for "white people" correct? well. if you were white, being called a "cracker" all the time might get old. but even more so if every time you were called a "cracker" you were spit on, or not allowed into a certain place, or called on to be beat/abused in some way. you would learn that the word "cracker" was not a good word at all. it was in fact one of the worst words someone could call you. so every time you heard that word you would get angry because something bad would always happen.

about the culture thing and maybe it not being offensive, he probably should have checked with his agent before saying certain things, just like most publicly speaking people do. anyone could have told him that that was not the "classy" thing to say.

secondly, i'm sure Iggy meant no offense to anyone and probably isn't aware of the connotations of the word in England (if he was indeed saying "Paki")

thirdly, even if he was trying to piss of the moral majority he's still about 1/20th of the badass he was 35 years ago

bitch

you BUMHEAD.

3 people complain about strictly come dancing do you think they will apologise for it?

... are my two favourite swearwords at the moment.

... how everyone's most offensive words are slang for lady parts. Exactly who gives a shit what Iggy Pop says these days? I mean, seriously.

you know the law is stupid if you're ignorant of it?

point.
I suppose to believe the law was stupid you would have to first be conscious of it, and the defence would not be ignorance but not believing the particular law should exist.

thats because male bits are old hat in the swear word stakes. its the only frontier left.

i still like the term "cock" not because its that offensive, but because when pronounced correctly it has a nice offensive snap to it.

flaps isnt a swear word, gets used in the bedroom all the time round our way.

ok then, please, say it as much as you like, dont let us stop you.

(not referring to iggy btw)
