Cancer can be a very irritating word to hear. So is gay, tranny, or anything like that.

And I feel like too many Dutch people get away with this just because it's "how they speak". :plussp:[/quote] it kinda is how we speak though :woohoo:[/quote] I get that, but on the Faroe Islands, we use the N-word casually when talking about black people or to black people. So by using that logic, I could be saying the N-word in casually on the server but that could offend people.[/quote] No, the N word is offensive and derogatory, cancer, while an awful illness in any family or friendship group, isnt in and of itself, offensive.[/quote] The N-word is not offensive in any way on the Faroe Islands though. And cancer can be very annoying and sad to hear by many people as a lot of people have family/friends that have been hurt by it.[/quote] This is exactly the kind of ignorance i was going to mention on your post about yourself.[/quote] I'm not being ignorant at all.
