How do you feel when I say...?

Taylor has the right idea. If you haven't read his blog, then read it.

Anyway, on that note, it's people who are offended by words that are the sole cause of making those words offensive. When someone says, "gay", and you take it as a derogatory term, then it is you who makes that word offensive. If someone called me anything that our society deems negative, and I was not offended, then that word loses its power.

Take it this way. If I were to use the word, "nigger", the whole world would go ballistic because they deemed it an offensive term. If no one thought of it as a bad word, then it would lose its effect. It wouldn't lead to fights, or anything of that sort.

So, to those of you who get all pissed off when people say a word that you don't like, it's your own damn fault for that word having that kind of effect.

Get your heads out of your asses, and pull your feet out of your mouths.

Ignorant fucks.
