In the immortal words of, well, ME:
“This place is more addictive than caramel-covered crack.”
So far, what needs to be said has been said. I just have a question for N4S:
When I left, you seemed to have calmed down a bit, and evolved into someone who I could get along with. It’s like you got over your anger or bitterness or whatever, and stopped reacting to everything.
Now, you sound like an angry-as-fuck, agenda-of-rage world-hating bitch with a chip on her shoulder the size of a yak’s cancerous left nut.
Why you so riled up, chica?
In other news, all this getting pissed off and offended over a word is pretty fuckin’ stupid. It’s just a word. Why should you pick a certain word and grant it power over you?
I used to work with this guy who was gay. Well, I’m sure he still is gay, but anyway: He would say things like “I don’t mind being called gay, or queer, or queen, but don’t ever call me a faggot! I ain’t no bundle of wood! I ain’t no cigarette!”
All of this was delivered with much alacrity, and accompanied by much snapping of fingers and serpentine writhing of neck.
Not only do you look like an idiot, you sound like one, too. You must be one of those new “multimedia” dumbfucks.
Look, I don’t care what or who you like to fuck or get fucked by or whatever. That’s your business and I couldn’t care less about any of it.
If I refer to something as “gay” and you get all hurt about it, well, that’s your p[roblem, too.
See, when you stand up and accept responsibility for your life, you have to take responsibility for other things, too.
Some people want to control what you say, saying you can’t use certain words because they’re bad. Fuck all that.
The only word in the english language I don’t like is censorship, and even hearing that word won’t send me into a violent rage like “gay” or “fag” or “pillow-biting queer” will apparently affect 'punha’s friend Brendan.
At the risk of sounding like the white guy saying “Some of my best friends are black…”, I have to say that I have known many gay men and lesbian women in my time, and for the most part they did not have issues with language. If anything, they were supportive of a society where people are free to express themselves, and not all about creating
“freedom” for themselves by oppressing others.
How can gay people be expected to be taken seriously in their struggle to be treated fairly when they want to impose their will upon others? Now, wait, before you get all bunced up, I’m not saying that all gay people are like this, I’m just saying that any group who is fighting for freedom and against discrimination should not oppress others nor should they discriminate against others who are unlike them.
What’s with GLAAD getting all pissed at Kevin Smith about Jay and Silent Bob? Are they serious?
“You can’t say gay, or make jokes about homosexual activity, because I’m gay, and that offends me.”
NEWSFLASH: This just in! The homosexual community, outraged at their portrayal as gay, and as such people who engage in same-sex physical relations, has decided that a movie that is a spoof movie making fun of almost everything at once is offensive, because being gay, they demand that people let them be gay, but still keep things in the closet about gayness and homosexuality so people can remain ignorant and not learn to laugh about that which should be commonplace in America, if not the world: adults being true to their natures and living however they wish to live."
Now I’m probably going to have some militant fairy up in my grill because I said “…however they wish to live.” I know, Mary, sexual orientation is not a choice anymore than is the color of your eyes, or your height, and so on. All I’m saying is that if people are born homosexual, and want to do all the things that go along with it, then fine.
This should be commonplace here.
I know it’s not. There’s still hatred, there’s still intolerance, their’s still discrimination.
And it sucks.
Do you really think that trying to curb people’s language is going to make a difference? Doesn’t that sound like a step in the wrong direction?
You can’t tell me how to talk, or what I can and cannot say, anymore than I can tell you how to live, or who you can or cannot have sex with.
If you want to live in a world where you can force others not to say certain words simply because you don’t like it, then it’s the same world where others can force you not to love a certain sex simply because they don’t like it.
Again, wait. Don’t give me any shit about how I can say what I want just don’t do it around you. Fuck that, too. Fuck it right in the ear.
That’s like me saying “You can be gay, and hold your partner’s hand, just don’t do it around me.”
Which means that I can “fag” or “gay” in my own home, and you can show your love for your partner in your own home, but if we all go the mall, I can’t say “fag” and you can’t hold your partner’s hand, or kiss them, or anything else that is an “acceptable” PDA.
Do you like a world like that? No, it’s not different. You have no right to tell me what I can and can’t say.
You have no right to tell me what I can and can’t watch, or who I can and can’t love.
How many people have mentioned that you shouldn’t say “gay” when referring to something you think is stupid here, because someone or a large group of someones will get offended?
My reaction is this: So fucking what?
Get pissed. Tell me about how pissed you are, start a pit thread all about how you got totally pissed off because I said a word.
Do all that, and you’ll be a sorry, pathetic, stone-blind fucking fool, too.
“Don’t say this”
“Don’t say that”
…you must be fucking kidding me, man.
