How about if I, as an Australian, say that I find the use of the word 'Digger' - a term applied to Australian troops since the First World War - offensive if applied to a dog. Do you think anyone would listen to me?

Scenes from the original movie are part of the 'background' soundtrack (and are shown on a TV in one scene) in the movie of Pink Floyd's The Wall.

I wonder how much profanity they'll include for the sake of ‘realism’.

as an Elem. School Spec. Ed. teacher, I sent a kid to the corner for using that word...he is black & I’m white (he was rapping). I told him that too many people fought & died just so his race wouldn’t be called that all the time.

I love the original, a remake will never take its place, and I hate the political correcting, but I’m a special effects nut and look forward to how the dambusting will look.

I would not have a problem with it. I would just as soon consign that word to the ash heap of history. But the people who produce hip-hop apparently just refuse to let it die.

Whule we're at it, let's relabel the rap group NWA as DWAS..Diggers with Attitude>

Better yet, they should use a WHITE dog in the movie..

I guess when George Carlin redoes his “7 Dirty Words” routine he’ll be down to “One Dirty Word, Unless You’re the Proper Skin Shade,” which doesn’t have nearly as much comedic potential.

Black people, and liberal white people just keep giving that name power. When will they learn? When I am called an offensive name, like Gabacho or Cracker, I embrace it, and it ends right there. But I suppose, liberalism does make you stupid.
