Minus the money, power and fame to a certain degree are you so different Riv? I've seen you and others rip up plenty of asses here (without prejudice).
Calling someone a "faggot", "bitch", or "idiot" is disrespectful regardless of their position of power. |
no, I'm probably not a lot different. I call people idiots when I see idiocy, etc. I could probably learn a lot more patience, and I could be more supportive. But I'm at least aware enough that discrimination is bullshit in whatever form it's in.
I'm not buying the lame-ass "oh, he didn't mean it in a sexual context" excuse about using faggot. That's bullshit. Historically, it's been used, and will continue to be used to call someone effeminate, gay, etc and make them feel inferior. I see no difference between the term faggot and the term nigger, or whatever. They're both used by someone to make someone from an underrepresented group feel inferior, and they're bullshit.
Thats a little different from calling a moron a moron...especially when they're being a moron.
