re: In our modern free-spoken society There is a word that we still hold taboo

And this is what's wrong with the entire situation. Making a word, a collection of letters, acceptable for one group of people but a complete no-no for another group...what sense does that make? Either the word should not be said by anyone at all, or it should be ok for everyone. This stupid arse poem is trying to prove how bad of a word it is, yet advocates some people being able to use it while it's 'off limits' for others. BS.

Context is an important part of language. Included in that is obviously who is speaking and to whom he/she speaks. That's just how languages work.
