For instance, in the UK, you can call someone a c*nt and they would be fine with it, whereas if applied to the US, it's offensive.

This is so wrong. That word is always offensive in the UK.
(Just because people use it 'for a laugh' doesn't make it ok).

I'm not saying it's OK, just saying that the reactions differ quite a bit.

Does a discussion of offensive words really belong in this topic. I would suggest that they do not.

It doesn't, but the comment was made and I feel needs to be challenged.
(No, I'm not suggesting deleting any posts and any reply such as 'take it up in a pm' is insufficient as the false post will still be there)

@siamhie - we clearly disagree on this, so to avoid derailing the thread (further), send me a pm if you want to discuss this.

Pretty sure he's not speaking to you, anti.

My point was to get back to the original request as detailed in the first post in this topic..And not pointing to any individual.
