Fark has been doing that for almost 25 years (e.g. every instance of the N-word becomes "attractive and successful African-American") and I'd be lying if I said nobody had a problem with it, but people who see fit to challenge it tend to give up very quickly.

Sometimes the libs will coopt the left position and retroactively pretend it was the lib position the entire time (most dramatic example that comes to mind: the Civil Rights Movement) and that's the best you can hope for.

So does the Talmud contain discourse on every possible ethical conundrum?

What does it say about fudging the building code a little when you're renovating a basement?
