Is it just me or does GTA IV bring out the bottom of our society?

I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but come on... it's a word, get over it.

Again, I should tolerate racist terms? When did racist terms become acceptable to use in society? Last time I checked it wasn't and will never be ok to use derogatory words towards another race.

I have no problem with the common foul words. I hate it though people feel the need to say a curse word in every sentence.

The way I look at it is like this...

With slang, comedy, trends, etc... there’ll be cursing, and racial words mixed in to get a desired effect. (Whether it’s to shock, throw off, or just to get attention.) There’s a difference between a racist term and being racist, and that’s the issue. I know tons of people who joke around with racist jokes and terms all the time, but none of them are racist. None of them would treat anyone any differently b/c of the color of their skin, but it’s just the way conversations evolve.

Words are words… and decades ago when nobody used the more “racist” ones, it was considered racist b/c they were only reserved for situations when people were discriminating against one another. But now days, the majority of the words are so common place in pop culture, it’s just another form of expression. (Maybe 10% if the time there is some racist intent behind it, but usually it’s just a word.)

I don't mind the F word, etc. I am not ranting on cursing in general. I curse as well. But, the n word is inappropriate. I also don't like people who have to put a curse word in every sentence. It seems GTA IV brings out those kind of people as my other games didn't.
