Its a little hurtful when you use it when you are calling someone stupid and you say "Thats gay" because like jelly said-- its slang for homosexual and your putting down a whole society without realizing it.
Little things like that is what is stopping gays/lesbians from feeling equal with everyone else.
If it wasnt meant to be offensive, why did people do stuff like this?

If you dont realize why this word hurts others-- you have a little bit of a problem.
When people protested blacks, did their posters not say "nigger?"

Your post doesn't apply. No one ever said Fags hould die or anything remotely close to that.

Does it help if I say that more than half of my male friends are gay? Trust me I would neevr insult my best friends. You just need to learn how to deal.

Anyway, this thread is about American Baby and how you feel about it now after you had a good week to listen to it.

Discuss.

Also, this thread has nothing to do with BTCS, so dont mention it. We all know it's your favorite album.

Gumbo, you come off like a little child that is excited that he got the chance to post offensive pictures and use derogatory words.

And i'm sorry, being bi-sexual just means you are fuckign greedy. IT IS NOT THE SAME AS BEING GAY! you can always take a chick to prom to avoid your redneck dad beating you. you could hold a relationship with a chick in your small town to avoid the scruitiny of being the only "openly" gay male. So stop acting like you are the spokeswoman for gay rights cause YOU AREN'T.

If everyone never said anything that offended everyone this would be a pretty dull word. Like people have said, no one comes out and says, ranting, quit being a fag, youre gay, etc. No one even directs it at you, you either stumble into a thread and bitch about it or search for the terms so you can protest or something. Youre going to have to realize at some point that there is such a thing as free speech, youre on a message board on the internet and people arent going to change their lives for you. If you dont like it, ignore it. Youre going to have a hard time at life if you cant take (especially read) comments or words that offend you or you dont agree with.

And by the way if that offended you don't tell cause I really dont give a fuck. I don't wanna hear it.
I hate when people get offended at humor cause you can address anythign in a film and its acceptable but address it in humor and you're insensitive. And that fucking annoys me.
You tell a joke about retarded people and you get 100 people crying saying, "You shouldn't amek fun of retarded people, what's wrong with you, you're sick."
Meanwhile Tom Hanks runs around for 2 and a half hours, "I love you Jennay", "Durrrr, arrrrr" and he's a genius.
I laughed all the way through forrest gump, how do you not laugh when that morons running and his magic shoes are falling offf and kids are throwing apples at his head.
"You want a chocolate?"
NO!!!! Why would I want a chocolate from some retard thats been sitting at a bus stop all day pickign his ass.

If everythign in this world was as PC as you would like it Ranting I wouldn't be able to laugh at TV if I was high on mescaline and someone was tickling me with a feather.

I don't want to live in that world.

the word "nigger" has been said on here plenty of times, see the joke thread and mpizzlex, hasnt complained, like you have about words such as "fag" and "gay". The reason is he realizes it is in a joking manner. Sure the words "fag" and "gay" havent been used in the same manner in your case, but it wasnt directed in anyway toward someone in a way that was meant to opress or make fun of someone for their sexual preference. People have the right to say whatever they want, even if it is used in an opressive manner and i have yet to see that happen, it is being used as a slang term.

edit: in no way am i saying that the word isnt oppressive, in certain contexts of course it can be

These words arent directed at you (pay no attention to checkiis last post which is obviously just to get under your skin for making such a big deal) no one puts your name and these words together but you. If someone writes the word "wop" or "deigo" on the boards when having a conversation with someone else I dont jump into the thread screaming, stop giving me a hard time, stop attacking me. Theyre not fucking talking about me.
