Why do people think it's okay to use the word faggot?

Frankly, I think that people who say something is "gay" or "ghey", meaning it is flawed, misguided, stupid, or wrong, and think it has nothing to do with denigrating homosexuality, are a bunch of faggots.
 
No, it depends on how many people will be negatively affected by it's use.
For example - see the episode where I, in my mind innocently, used the word "N-rigged". In the end I came to see that it's not the INTENT, it's the RECEPTION that matters.

faggots are faggots, just like bitches are bitches, n-bombs are n-bombs, white trash are white trash, beaners are beaners, jihads are jihads.

there are certain people in each of the said "groups" that don't fall into those categories, but then there are the ones who do. people didn't just start calling them that for no reason.
 
Words of wisdom on the issue.

Michael Scott: I call everybody faggy. Why would anyone find that offensive?
Toby: I think Oscar would like it if you just used "lame" or something.
Michael Scott: But that's what faggy means!

Michael Scott: I need to know who else is gay. I don't want to offend anyone else.
Dwight Schrute: You could assume everyone is, and not say anything offensive.
Michael Scott: Yeah. I'm sure everyone would appreciate me treating them like they were gay.

Michael Scott: The company has made it my responsibilty today to put an end to 100,000 years of being weirded out by gays.

Michael Scott: You don't call retarded people retards. It's bad taste. You call your friends retards when they are acting retarded.
 
I am pretty much all for saying what you want. However if you get stomped out don't be a whiny bitch about it.

Hi Hooli. :love


Yeah, I'm all for the freedom of speech, and for having the responsibility of getting your ass kicked for what you say. ;)
 
I am convinced more so than ever that the term is used on this board by dudes who are interested in exploring their homosexuality like it's some kind of signal or something.

Good point:thumbup

Reminds me of anytime I'd win an arguement with my huge buddy J - he'd get mad and want to fight. "Ok - so I guess you're right, J. The world IS flat afterall." :laughing
 
its the same thing with mis-using 'retarded', 'rape', 'nazi' etc.

just demonstrates a total lack of orginality of those using those words.


Now I have the sudden urge to insult someone by calling them a "Retarded Rape Nazi". :twofinger
