I would say that you should really only ban certain racial slurs. I mean, how would you talk about Dick Cheyney if you banned bad words? Then there is the argument about the vernacular. I mean, I use curse words frequently. Most people around when I say them don't care. I don't use them in a vulgar way, usually. It tends to be either a metaphor or when I get frustrated/injure myself (like when I stub a toe).

However, not too many people use slurs everyday. I rarely ever hear anyone say the N word.
