have you seen these commercials?? i love it!!

KNOCK IT OFF!

 

No, I haven't seen them because I don't live in California where everyone is overly sensitive to every word you say, you hippie, pothead, pinko, commie something-something...

 

I'm so fucking glad someone FINALLY made a PSA about that shit.

 

if i was having a private conversation and some one said to me "you know you shouldn't say that, it's insulting" because i said gay, i would say "you know you should mind your own business faggot, it's annoying". Not because i hate gays, but because i hate PC, moral high ground, idiots who think they have the right to tell others what to do.

 

It just got super annoying when that's the only insult you hear anymore. Ugh. I mean, I can't say I'm much better when I say shit's retarded all the time, lol.

 

I don't agree with telling people how they should talk but I don't get associating one word with another. Gay = bad, retarded = dumb. Makes no sense. But don't tell me how to talk.

 

this thread is so gay

 

Yeah but unless you think that there is something wrong with being gay, it's not really an insult. Personally, i dont use the word gay in a negative way if i am around a gay person, and not often generally. But come on, somethings truely matter and some things truely dont, it's just a good excuse for some pompus moral do-gooder to feel good a couple of times a day... assuming that people start coming up to people and bitching about the word 'gay'.

See the thing is, in that context it is used in the advert, it has nothing to do with homosexuality at all, so getting upset is stupid.

 

And you're half a fag. Shut it.

 

half?




I'm full flamer, bitch

 

Ahhh this shit is so stupid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdgpgRgwM8c&NR=1

 

Dude, I watched like...5 seconds of that. That dude pisses me off just by breathing.

 

Watch it and and you will understand why getting pissy over the word gay is stupid.

This is my point, the word gay in that context has nothing to do with homosexuality, a person using it, probably isnt even thinking about homosexuality. The word gay use to mean some one who was happy and relaxed, and over time became associated with homosexuality. Kids began to use the word to describe things that they felt were excessivley homosexual, and because it wasn't accepted being gay, it also eventually became a word for things that are stupid/lame (lame, how ironic).

Thats how language develops, now it can but doesnt have to have anything to do with homosexuality.

Now to provide some contrast, take the word "faggot" which is the homosexual = of "******". Originally meant "pile of sticks", but became a word for gay people, during WWII because the dead gays would make a faggot (their bodies seen as a pile of sticks). Now this word always has a direct implication towards homosexuality, and is completely negative in its development.

 

agreed,

using the word faggot is totally gay.

 

Ha! i wonder what the PC thugs would say about that, their heads would explode

 

Next there will be public service warnings about properly saying 'That's OK' because it could be misconstrued as 'That's So Gay'.

.

 

i don't think wanda sykes knew what she was talking about there... she said they were making fun of something that's dumb... well of course the chef statue can't talk; that's not why they were mocking it...

 

Its all a point of learning to respect others and their wishes man. I love that people are actually taking the time to adress something like that. I mean there's nothin' wrong with sayin' somethin' but thinkin' before you say somethin' like that would save so many people so much greif.

IH

 

exactly. if people would stop and think before saying some stupid uppity pc bullshit, life would be better for everyone.

 

"That's so gay" is just a phrase that has crawled up my skin since it started when I was in 8th grade. What really annoys me is the fact that it started then...damn near 8 years ago, and I still hear it ALL the time. It's time for a new insult. Retarded and gay are out. Now it's time to rag on the cancer victims. Like Lance Armstrong. FUCK that guy.
