Aye, I've heard people say "that's gay" when they mean "that's stupid" or "that sucks"...and I can see how that would offend people. But if someone is just having a conversation, talking about what gay activists are doing or talking about the gay pride march...I don't see why anyone should get huffy about that. I don't see why either.  Anyway, the word "faggot" came into being because a faggot is actually a bundle of twigs used for kindling. The name started being used for homosexuals when it was popular to burn homosexuals at the stake. "It's just a flaming faggot." Scarey, huh? |

I have been trying to respond all afternoon but my computer keeps acting up and now I've no time. I've been having problems ever since Rick broke the other forum. I think this may be his fault too.  I hope it is calm and quiet tonight and I can't play online in my downtime. Though I've prolly just jinxed it. It's bad luck to use the Q word (and I don't mean queer) in the hospital. I'm still home so maybe it will be alright...so later to my freedomphile friends and fellow queers. And I mean that in the most respectful way  |

Somehow, I love the word "queer", and don't carewho uses it. Probably because all it originally meant was different, which God knows I am. Have a good night at work Outgirl!

I knew that "faggot" meant a bundle of twigs used for kindling...but I had no idea how it became associated with homosexuals. Given that history, I can see why one would be offended by someone using the word, especially since I've never heard the word used in a nice way. I don't think I've ever heard anyone say "Paul is such an awesome faggot. I wish I was a faggot like him..." |

Feebel troll? This coming from a "zombie killer!" HA! Live in the real world, geek! Geek? That's it? C'mon homes, you can try harder. Fuck, "geek" isn't even an insult anymore. I mean, of all the myriad insults you could hurl, that's it? Do I think you're feeble? Well, yeah. In that nice simple way you view the world where White Xtians everywhere are oppressed by the scary minorities, you prove your mental feebleness. In the pathetic way you seek out people that you claim to hate in a semi-anonymous environment to attack them, since you're practically guaranteed to not face any consequences; you prove your feebleness of character. With lovely comebacks like "Live in the real world..." you prove your feebleness in creativitiy. Alright, now that the feebleness has been established, the troll part is easy. Basically, you're a troll. Alright that case has been made. What's next...oh yeah....the zombiekiller thing. Well, on the internet we use these things called "screen names" or "nics". In some places, where Citizen's Band radio is popular, these are called handles. While not being based in reality, they generally reflect the interests or the personality of the user. In my case, I enjoy zombie related entertainment and discharging firearms, hence "zombiekiller" (one word btw). In your case, you're a bigot with poor research skills. Welcome to America. That's your right. Now, to imply that I need to live in the real world because my screen name implies that I actively kill the undead shambling masses of zombies that do not yet but some day will roam the earth, would be the same as saying that your screen name implies that you actually believe you're the founder of the Ku Klux Klan. If that's the case, then welcome to the world of the delusional. I think that covered your post. Still not thunderdome material. I've seen better examples of homophobic ranting on the evening news and better race baiting at Denny's. Keep trying though. |

This fag thinks you're a really cool geek, ZS.! We know that when the zombie apocolypse comes, we can count on ZK to blast 'em to bits. Hmm for some reason, I feel compelled to say "kibbles and bits and bits and bits..." Arrugh...damn marketing geniuses... |

I think "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" helped make it more acceptable. Some would say that's not a good thing. I love it. Hell, Outgirl and I used in our forum's title.
