I said 'retard' in passing over a year ago and a woman got in my face, I told her I didn't care, she threatened me and made a scene. I realized that day that there was a huge problem in society. Her reaction opened my eyes to all Liberal propaganda and was the catalyst for my Libertarian viewpoint. I hope and pray one day Liberals realize they don't have a right not to be offended.

I understand why people don't like it but it's a pretty fun word to say. I try not to say it though because I know not everyone sees it in the same way I do.

Actually a faggot is also a bunch of sticks
so for example if i were to say
A gay ferry penguine is carrying a faggot to build a nest.
In the modern world people would think i mean homosexual 3 times in that sentence.
i.e. gay (aka happy), ferry (when did this word become purely associated with gay people aka now called little penguin) and faggot.

just call the person a palin, like gay people call "the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex" Santorum...
Honestly I don't know a single person who has eaten a Mr. Brain faggot. They...they're there for comedy only.
As for the OP, this is a natural progression and a good one. As someone said earlier language is constantly adapting, this shouldn't be a surprise.

It's "fairy", not ferry. Ferry is a boat that ferries you from land to land across water. Fairies are graceful and magical creatures of folklore. Not such a bad thing to be compared against actually, probably owing to the generally more flamboyant nature of gay men.

Anyway.. The N word used to be normal... Should we use it again? Times and sentiments changes.. For the better |
When did racist stop calling blacks that word? As if they don't still use it.I heard it and read it recently.Any way retard is not comparable to a racial and derogatory term.Retard was never derogatory or used to opress people and treat them like they were less than human.many whites don't undertand these things which is why we still have racial issues.

... I thought faggots were bundles of wood where as the singular faggot is a single bundle of wood or just a branch ... what kind of food are a faggots?
