Serious question: Serious Answer:
I think the F word has become more powerful, because the black community has taken the N word and totally OWNED it.
Well done, and excellent strategy. The F word has only really become a non-politically-savvy word in the last ten years (or so). It doesn't have the same history.
That said, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the comparison... the N word goes back hundreds and hundreds of years, invokes slavery, rape, murder, banal horrors. The F word... to a degree I suppose.
I'm interested to see how this all develops. I hear Isaiah has issued some sort of public apology.
I bet the workplace is mighty tense right now!
Okay, enough heavy stuff. Back to P&S BS.

No. One is generally used in many languages in many countries. "f" word here, "p" word in Mexico, "c" word in other spanish speaking countries...
but the "n" word specifically targets a group of people and falls under the "report abuse" categories on this site. It is much less socially acceptable. "f" you might hear in an office, "n" would get you a lawsuit and kicked out of that office.

they are both just words-using them to hurt someone is what makes them bad-ive heard gay guys call each other the f word-and black people call each other the n word-yet they dont get mad at each other-i guess it the delivery of the word-but if you are offended by either word-then you shouldnt use them and expect that others wont-

People use those words as if they were any other word, part of their vocabulary, so I don't think it even matters anymore. Therefore there's nothing to discuss.

a word used with anger and hatred is a powerful word.

the N word is stronger, because you dont see many people using the n word, maybe relating to colour. i'm not racist at all, but the f word is weaker because it's something you might hear commonly.

i don't think either word is powerful. i think they are used by people who are ignorant.

Yes, they are both derogatory remarks that should never be used, no exceptions.
