To say they have NO choice is probably inaccurate. Everybody has a choice at any point of his life. But in some situations these choices are influenced by your emotions to an extent where you can't control them at the moment and just have to cool off.
I am also very aware that free speech is of prime importance and that self-censorship is a very dangerous thing. In fact most dictatorships rely/relied on self-censoring as it gives the people an illusion of free speech if writers/politicians/artists/... cease to express their opinion because they fear instead of expressing their opinion and get executed. What I'm saying is that if you use this words in public you might accidentally hurt someone. Although wounds heal and you may not do everlasting damage but you still hurt someone. And people have very little possibility to negate that they have been hurt (although they can later on make the choice to decide that it was not that bad anyway). So in this very moment you have caused another human being *avoidable* pain (Regardless of what comes afterwards). Why would you wanna do that? Which brings us to your first point. I totally agree that they are just words/swords (beginning to like that one ) and can become dull over time if they are used often enough. But if you try to blunt a sword or empty a gun to make it safe do it in a secure place. i.e. use these words in conversations with your friends or in conversations with people you like to get to know better and make it very obvious that you don't mean any harm. Do NOT use them carelessly in conversations with people you don't know and won't get to know better as you will have no chance to explain by words or actions that you are of no ill will and that they are just words. You will only do (hopefully temporary) damage.

¬_¬! The people gave their opinion, I think they dont want to hurt anybody.
But the fascist hurt a lot of people in the past (in my country, in the Civil War in 1936, Hitler & Mussolini helped to Franco, they proved their arms with the republican people or the people who love the democracia, or democracian (I dont know spell it)). Sorry I know what can you think: "You always say the same"... I know, but the fascist killed a lot of people in the south of Spain, meanwhile they stolen us to gave it to the north people, in cities like Madrid or Barcelona. Shaide |

That would be the Falange, correct? Well, they were certainly no lilies, but their side certainly didn't have any monopoly on atrocities in the Spanish Civil War, especially the Anarchists (F.A.L.N.? Sorry, it's been several years) up around Barcelona. They used to flay people, and not just Nationalists. My study of the Spanish Civil War produce a sort of "Plague on both their houses" syndrome.
