Hmmm let's see, he is posting on a sex board about how words relating to homosexuals (in him opinion) offend him. Oh yeah I should have guessed that he wasn't gay. :roll::roll::roll::roll:

Not sure what words you used as they were **** out but my point which was missed is that the term "gay" being used to mean "stupid" has been around long BEFORE it took on the meaning of today. You can't take it so personally since in my case I use it with the old meaning.

I was referring to 'Fa**ot' and the 'N' word. I'm in my mid-40's and never heard of 'gay' meaning 'stupid' until around the late-80's early 90's. Since 'gay' is a politically correct way of referring to homosexuals, I resent people using the word to refer to something that is 'stupid'. It's derogatory towards homosexuals if someone uses it to mean stupid, even though it may be subconscious. That is why I may excuse it for a young person, but certainly not for someone my age.

When did "gay" become PIC? I never got that memo. I mean gmab almost every word can be used for a "demeaning" purpose. It is a word, if I scream it at someone that is homosexual than I can see your point but why should I stop using it in the manor that I have been solely because some now has a problem with it.

"Gay" has been being used to refer to homosexuals for over 40 years, and before that it had been used to mean "happy". It came into use as a term to describe "stupid" only about 10 years ago, and that use remained parallel with homosexual throughout that time. If you grew up so isolated that you were unaware of the broader world, don't blame people if they are offended when you inadvertently treat them with disrespect.

No it not only been 10 years since it has been used to mean stupid. As I said I use it in a certain manor and have for a long time, so long as I am not using it to insult someone why should I have to stop. Not every time someone uses the term it is meant towards a homosexual. People can get offended but it is ridiculous if they do. For two reasons. First, they should pay attention to the context and not just the word and second, it is a word, no more.

No, you shouldn't have made an assumption just to make your snide comment more convenient...:roll:

Ok are you capable of actual debate or just being condescending?

Way to default to some supposed high ground. You're a tricky one aren't you? ;)

What's to debate...you made an assumption, I called you to task for it. Further, you used that assumption to spring into a snide comment, which I also called you to the carpet for. Seems pretty open and shut to me. Something you care to debate? Then bring it up.:2wave:

I like you guys. You're funny. It's like if you put a happy smilie at the end of something mean, it transforms it to something nice. Let me try:

You're dumber than Paris Hilton. ;)

Did it work? Are you amazed at my kindness? :lol:

It's called sarcastic politeness. It works much better when speaking to a person, but I am sure I made my point.

Paris Hilton isn't dumb. She's just a slutty, talentless, useless flesh sack whose biggest accomplishment will be feeding the worms when she is finally put out of everyone else's misery. :2razz:

Oh I don't know. There was that one show where she and...someone...traveled around taking different jobs. I didn't watch it, but she looked pretty dumb. Or shall I say, so ignorant about how the world works you might as well call it stupidity.

You know who I truly hate...I mean like...every time I see her on television she inflames my lowest instincts and incites me to dreams of butchery and mutilation.

Jessica Simpson. Especially in that stupid HDTV commercial where she is still trying to pass herself off as Daisy Duke. I just want to choke her with her own intestines...

Okay...back to our regularly scheduled whatever this was...

Yes, it has been around 10 years. Your memory of the usage is faulty. But, that is irrelevant. Would it be ok for me to start saying "That's so Afro" meaning "That's so idiotic"? I mean, its just words and you have to take in the context. Out of decency, I would not do it.

LOL...I am just disgusted that they let her play Daisy Duke. I think if I am in a rocking chair with Alzheimer's I will still remember that insult...
