"Fag"

Any person that uses the term "Fag" as a negative, is a Fag. What the hell? This is just more PC Crap that we have to worry about. PC this and PC that or you are this or that. It is a bunch of you know what, if you ask me.

You couldn't have illustrated my point better if I'd invented you solely for that purpose.

But you told me to argue with you and treat you like a dog so that people would not link me to you after you had me start to Parrot your ideas! I am confused. :lol:

Bark!

Yeah, I read that before and I agreed. These things do go in cycles. The cycles reflect the Political leanings of the time. People lean towards Conservative ideas after a Liberal, and the other way as well. This the the whole thing about BALANCE that I am arguing witha few people that just hate whoever disagrees with them. It creates backlash later.

Everywhere you go you can almost guarantee to hear hetero males jokingly call each other "fags", and almost everything that’s "stupid" is now refereed to as being "gay".

I see nothing wrong with using the words "fag" or "gay". They are just words. Gays who get offended by this are only insecure with themselves. My friends and I call each other "fags" and "homos" all the time. It means nothing.

I remember the outcry in the 80s when Eddie Murphy used these words in his standup and joked about gays. I think this actually did more good for the gay community than it hurt. It taught people to laugh about homosexuality instead of getting angry.

That's like saying black people shouldn't get offended when other people use the word "n.igger", and if they do, they're only insecure. It might be fine in some circumstances, like with friends, but it's not okay when it's an insult. No insults are "okay".

Same idea applies to African-Americans and any one who takes words so seriously. If those words lead to aggressive actions, then the words are still okay, the actions are wrong.

I do not use "fag" and prefer not to use "gay". Gay means happy. Happy is a positive word, and personally I see nothing positive with anyone claiming or being homosexual.

Calling another male "fag" in an all male heterosexual group is actually an endearing term. It is not much different than calling another prick, bastard, or even arsehole. It is an insulting joke and also a way to unconsciously proclaim their own heterosexuality.

I am really really shocked at you. Let me ask before I go completely rabid, do you see anything negative about someone claiming or being a homosexual?
 
I would never call a gay person a fag........Of course that does not stop "Feel Good" Liberals and a small portion of militant gays from calling people like me bigots or homophobes because I have a different opinion with them on the issue of Gay Marraige or gays serving openly in the military.......

Calling a homosexual a fag doesn't make you a bigot. Telling them they can't get married or that they can't serve openly in our military because you're not confortable kinda does.

Because it makes ******s/fake men whine.

So you're saying that real men call them fags?

I am saying real men don't whine like little bitches that someone is using the word fag.

I feel sorry for you. Why are you so insecure?

I am not insecure,The one who is insecure is the whiny bitch who made this thread.Perhaps the next thread he can make a thread is whining how men still use the word "chicks","babes" or some other other word femi-nazis and fake men might whine about or allegedly find offensive.Maybe he can make a thread whining about how he thinks Hooters is a sexist establishment.

I disagree. I think it depends on intent (didn't we cover this in the PC thread about a month ago?). If someone calls me a name with the intent to degrade me, my offense to that is unrelated to my security/insecurity. It is related to my displeasure at being degraded. My response probably has something to do with my security/insecurity; for example the difference between engaging in an unproductive namecalling contest, or walking away from someone completely unworthy of my time.

Anyone who uses the word "fag" with the intent of being insulting is either A) a closet homosexual, or B) pissed that they can't get laid. Which are you?

Do you have any friends at all?

Moderator's Warning:
Both of you stop these personal attacks, immediatly. Get back to the topic.
 
If you respect somebody, you call them what they want to be called. If you don't, you don't. This is true for groups as well as individuals.

That is ridiculously childish. Maybe they are just bummed that they can't smoke anymore. Fag has a negative connotation and that is just the way it is. When somebody tells you to "F.U.C.K. Off" are they pissed that they aren't getting any or anything else or are they just saying what is a common pejorative?

Don't try to make more of it than it is. ;)

No sorry to say it but its most likely you have some type of insecurity.
This could have derived from a harsh father who beet you, which would explain where you try and pull of this "I'm ****in tough...stop yer whining you ****** liberal!"...
Also, anti-gay hatred that you have can come from someone who had an older man repeatedly molest them when they were younger...
I’m comfortable enough with my sexuality to be able and stick up for people who have become the prime targets for bashing all because nature indented for them to be different...
It would be a much better world if people like you broke up their ignorance...

Yet, you would use comments such as this in an argument:
