homosexual slurs

Published Nov. 2, 2009

Over the years, as society, we've come to the conclusion that certain words are not acceptable.

If we're talking about for example, Ann Coulter, it's not okay to call her a sl*t or a wh*re.

If we're talking about Colin Powell, it's not okay to call him a n*gga(er).

If we're talking about Barnie Frank, it's not okay to call him a Christ killer.

If we're talking about Jackie Chan, it's not okay to call him a ch*nk.

My question is, when are we going to learn to show homosexuals the same respect?

If you're with friends and someone refers to a homosexual as a f*g or fudge packer or flamer, what would you do?

Would you be more offended if they discussed women as b*tches?

I think the world would be a better place if folks could do that Peacebee.

Offenses are considerably lower when we don't call others derrogatory names at all, but rather show respect and basic human dignity. Why not eliminate name calling and negative labeling?

LOL, it's ok. I am always curious on how other GOLO members stand on the issues we discuss. I guess I was assuming that your reply would include your opinion. We all know what happens when we assume. :P No need to appologise. :)

I'd say this Blog stayed nicely civil and we all actually had a good discussion.

Some people are just way too "sensitive" and are looking for a reason to take offence at what someone around them says. Example...If it's one of their "friends" or a member of their clique, one can accept any number of 'euphemisms' that if they came from someone else not in the clique or circle of friends, they'd take great offence. So it's not the word that offends, it's who is saying it and to whom. Which makes the idea of Word Police running around telling people they shouldn't say this word, or that word...pretty ridiculous.

Oh well, it doesn't matter anyway. I just wanted to let you know that I'm not a bad person and don't hate homosexuals.

Oh no!!! I just wrote a book to you GravyPig and hit the button, but apparently got lost. Dang!!!

Hope that explains it. Sorry if we got off on the wrong foot.

"what in the world is "dropping a deuce"? and what is Dropping a deuce in peace" - squeek

It is slang for going to the bathroom #2. Dropping in peace is not having to worry about being peeked on or fear of having someone walk in on you in the act. See also Pinching a Loaf, Taking the "Kids" to the pool. etc......

"Do you hear it used for folks or things that aren't from Red China?" - wa4jmf

I've only heard it as a derogatory name for Chinese/Asian folks. I would say that you are probably on the right track as to it's original meaning. It certainly makes sense that it would come from (i'm assuming) Vietnam era communications/lingo.

"You should ask all the families that visit the wildlife observation tower at Jordan Lake. Ask them about all the sin that is going on in the bushes and all along the trails and shoreline. Better yet go out there yourself. Maybe you will see one of your friends"

The folks you see fooling around out there are more than likely closet cases that do not wish for their friends, wives, or family to find out. I would also wager that those who are comfortable with their sexuality and prefernces do not feel the need to clandestinely meet to engauge in sexual acts.
