As you should be. A child that age cannot possible have the capacity to understand the deep meanings that word conveys.

So the context you use it in is not always the same as how the words are perceived. So the best thing to do is not use them at all.

You're right. They aren't always perceived properly. But someone else's perception of my meaning, in a CLEARLY defined topic of discussion or location/situation is not my problem. If you don't understand the issue at hand (meaning the example discussion in question) then you should remove yourself from it. Not expect other adults to babysit grown adults as if they were children. There are no children here.

I don't think anyone here would say in front of a bunch of strangers, to their girl friend/wife, "hey babe lets fuck".

I've heard this many times from "supposed" adults.

Also you wouldn't teach these words in an elementary school. So if we don't want it taught to our kids (our future) then why do we use it so loosely?

Of course not. But this is not Disneyland. (I hate to keep using the word 'adults', but it's necessary I'm afraid) Adults express adult things in adult ways. You cannot realistically expect the world to speak in childish words. You might WANT it to, but it will never happen.

Its not a necessary thing to say to get your point across and is still considered a racial slur because it may be offensive to some.

If this is true, then the city of Indianapolis needs to be renamed. It is offensive to Native Americans.
