It's weird because, recently I haven't considered myself to be very religious...but I feel like it's not something that should not be said, whether it be out of frustration or habit. Respect, reverence...I don't know. Maybe it's the only commandment that I'll ever really obey.

I don't get it!

I hate the word "fanny" to refer to your rear end.

The "gay" thing.... it's not cool, and living where I do I can tell you it DEFINITELY offends people..

I also agree with

C word

panties

Midget... (being rather short myself... NOT COOL)

F^&* to refer to sex...makes me wince... I don't require it be called making love either... but F&*! is just not cool with me...

I'm sure there are others but I can't think of them at the moment...

Gay people are cool with it. It's cool. I have gay friends.

Retarded people are cool with it too. They just don't know what's going on.

Stalker .. . it has to be one of the most oversued words in the Female Vocabulary.

ITs misleading because it conjures images of someone trying to kill you versus the truth .. . some guy that you probably led on calling you too much.

Did you capitalize "g" on purpose?

"public opinion" - John Q. seldom knows what the hell he's talkin about.

"i think" - I THINK it's redundant.

Of course He did. Now was it used as a Noun or Pronoun/ That do be the question! What?

GAWD DANG, or G*D Damn, get over it!

Normaly when some some one says God Damn Them, it is in the Hopes That God as We know it will put that curse on them and send them straight to HELL!

Now, The Important Question would be where is Hell???? In The Bowls of Earth or on the Top of Earth and Heaven is a Euphoria of Beliefs?

Oh, Heaven in the reignamentes of what most were led to beleive at the Youngest of learning age for most of us!

I's beleive, trust me, The Check is not in the mail, I never Lie!

Well um I am friends with lots of gay people and none of them care that I say that. They think it's funny. They don't get offended.

Off topic..here's a funny story.

The other night, some of my gay friends were dropping me & my friends off at a bar when they were on their way to a gay bar. One of them said "Do you want us to take you to the back door?" And I replied..."That's the only way y'all like it right?"

I didn't think he was ever going to stop laughing

Heere we go again with the freaking holier-than-thou BS.

Some people are offended by it, Tom. Who the F are you to say get over it?

Seriously, do you even THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU SAY before you SPEAK?

My answer would be "no."

Hottytoddy, I think that's a BIT different???

Banter between friends and throwing around the word all the time in daily life just ain't the same. They know [probably] you don't hate them for who they are, they [probably] can take it in the spirit it is meant.

It's a whole world away from conversations (of people aged over 8) like "you got a pen?" "yeah you can have this one but it's a bit gay" etc...
Would the replacement of a more sensitive word be so acceptable? "you got a pen?" "yeah you can have this one but it's a bit negro". No of course not (!!!) - there'd be outcry if people went around saying that - and rightly so. But one minority group is not acceptable to use in this way more than the next.
Using adjectives (however spelt) which refer to a minority group to say something is bad or sub-par isn't okay. Respecting different sensibilities is about maturity. Comments like "there's this guy and he's gay and he's just fiiiine with it" don't change it. Often, people do have a problem with it, whether they say so or not. And they aren't at fault for having a problem with it when part of who they are is used an a synonym for nasty, substandard, annoying.
