Words mean what people make them mean. Do you think it's ok to call someone 'gay' or a 'fag' (with a derogatory intent)?

I personally think ppl need to get some thicker skin, if you complain about it the worst offenders are going to use it more cuz it gets to you. Why ppl let a word have that much power I'll never know, it was demeaning and had a lot of power many years ago, but if you don't fuel the power behind it then it loses all the negativity behind it.

I can't say *****, but Black ppl can call me Honky and cracker with no complaints, why cuz I don't give the words recognition and in doing that they have no power.

But arguing is pointless in this subject, just leads to slavery and how it was used then. I know it's a bad word, but if it's SOO bad then why use any form of it yourself? The ppl who it affects soo much are the ones who created the grey area that confuses soo many others.

Great argument. So you think the N-word is the same as DUDE because it's true? :eh:

personally... i've never been offended by any word/phrase whatsoever.. and i think people do need to get over it... the same way i want to wear a shirt that says "FUCK" on the back in some form or another and not get shit for it... words are words.... they are just another way of expressing your opinions and censoring opinions is bullshit... personally the word means nothing to me, but i don't use it out of respect (and fear of getting my ass beat) ... the end
