    What a joke. I guess we better clean out all the museums and librarys of offensive material. I think I just found myself a new password.

    So the RAF would prefer to drop a 1,000lb-er or two on someone rather than have them offended by the historic name of a pooch?

    I wonder how many 617 Aircrew members gave ****** a pat before embarking their aircraft for the final time?

    Stop the world, I want to get off. Round them all up, put them back on the “B ark” with the telephone sanitisers and send them back to Golgafrincham.

    I’ll be right behind you with a loaded gun to take out the stragglers

    When I was in Christmas Island a few years ago, I went to the local supermarket that had a name I thought the do gooders would have requested be altered by now

    It doesn't matter whether it's new or old, it was an offensive term then and it's an offensive term now. It's not a term whose meaning has changed over time, like, "fantastic" or for that matter, "gay", it was always used as a term of racial abuse.

    And the fact that members of the RAF felt comfortable calling a dog by that name, and actually putting it on a headstone, condemns them and the organisation.

    I'm guessing that none of you have lived in the USA or the UK and I assure you that prejudice against black people is a very visible and live part of both societies, the US more so.

    When I was at the vet a while ago, the old lady before me called her black lab as they were leaving - yep, that name - the vet told me after she left that’s the 3rd generation of black lab she’s called the n word and she was oblivious to the offence it would cause some.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    FFS , next thing the PC Police will wanting me to change my dogs name from Rastus . Well the council and the Vets are fine with Rastus but google tells me its offensive. VicRoads are even happy with it as there is a car with same rego, I know because I tried to get it and its already taken.

    If people are offended by certain words, its those people with the issue , deal with it and stop inconveniencing others.
