I didn't even know that was a racially charged word?

I thought it was just a silly word. Like Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

As I said, it's about one step above one of them calling one of us "honkey" or white devil".  My brother's girlfriend got onto him recently for using the n-word, and it really drove home for me how society has changed. My dad used that word all the time around us kids growing up, and we never thought much of it. We were taught there were words you could say at home or in a close-knit circle of friends, but that you didn't say them on the playground or at church, because it was rude. And we didn't say it to one of them, of course, 'lessn you wanted your ass whupped.  But we never thought the day would come where you could lose your job or reputation over dropping a casual n-bomb or telling an offensive joke at the office. You're not even safe online.  Oh, your enemies can threaten to kill you and then piss on your corpse, they just can't use any ethnic, sexist, or homophobic slurs while doing it.

Also, I hate it when people ignorantly use "racist"and "prejudiced" interchangeably. A racist judges a group of people as inferior because of skin color. A bigot simply doesn't associate with a certain group usu. because of a negative past experience. They don't look at you as inferior, they just don't like you, or think you're dangerous. I'll happily be a bigot all day, but I've never been a racist person. I hate all people equally.

London... what a waste of tax payer money.

Also, the cancer rate in England... that is scary sounding.

Well with bullshit like sexual orientation traffic lights it's no wonder the cancer rates are skyrocketing. These guys are marinating in pure cancer.

But on a serious note, that is pretty awful. Wonder what it must be.

The article seems to blame technology, pesticides and pollution.

I have read the life expectancy in Scotland is lower due to a growing welfare state, which has led to depression, an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, and excessive consumption of fatty foods and alcohol.

I'm pretty sure that is going to happen everywhere.  Look at people in society now days.  Not many could actually survive it needed.  We are so lazy, so soft, no one knows how to survive and to fend for themselves.

It sounds like you read a columnist's polemic.  Welfare states come with a bundle of problems, but the idea that there's an arrow of causation running from them to the other listed ills is... a strong assertion, in need of some strong evidence.

I'm pretty sure that is going to happen everywhere.  Look at people in society now days.  Not many could actually survive it needed.  We are so lazy, so soft, no one knows how to survive and to fend for themselves.

And, with high probability, they won't need to.  Specialization is the wellspring of industry; this is not an error condition, it is the key to modernity.

Though I do agree that laziness and consumption to the exclusion of production are serious problems.  Alas, many of the "traditional" solutions to these (imperialist narratives, a good old fashioned war, etc) are probably worse than the disease.
