I see what you're trying to say here, but you're logic is completely flawed!

This part I actually agree with

The following statement its true. The previous statement is false

ZMannZilla

Thank you for clarifying that, I admit not being fully certain what you were referring to.  Blessed are those who don't "think those things".

Some say it's a built-in feature of humans, to seek out what's different between people and assign one thing as Good and another as Bad.  (Even Dr. Seuss touched on that in The Butter Battle Book.)  

It is good, IMO, that you realize others do think that way, even if it's not correct to say "everyone" thinks that way (even if, IMO, everyone does to some degree).

I realize this goes into a completely different discussion and I don't want to change the direction of this thread, but...  

I offer that the media has this habit of taking stuff said by famous people, whether they are still in the public eye or not, and making something big of it.  

Some people grab a microphone, some people say stupid things locally and it gets transmitted globally. The scale is thrust upon them, they didn't try to take it, so they are held to a different standard.  It's one thing for Tom Cruise to say on national TV that mental health science is a hoax, but another for some person who used to be on a TV show years ago to be filmed by a citizen or shrubbery papparazzi speaking their mind on the phone about someone in rough terms.   But enough of this tangent.

- - - 

On track... All things are not equal, even if the reason why they are not is because someone said they weren't.  By that I mean that there's no real reason why "faggot" is supposed to be the worst epithet to throw at a homosexual or "cunt" is supposed to be the worst epithet to throw at a woman.  There are more cutting things one can say!  "Faggot" in meaning is more tame than, say, "AIDS bait", and "cunt" is anatomical while "cum dumpster" actually has something degrading to it.  "Nigger" is kinda played out and lacks any oomph, compared to stuff like "spear chucker" or "rapist".  

But people like their language and their concepts simple, so dropping more weight into some simple word that doesn't necessarily mean what it comes to carry happens.   I prefer to be more creative.  Calling some annoying woman "acid-snatch" makes people have to think about it, where "cunt" simply means you don't like the person but some people are taking that as the ultimate insult. 

Pardon the paragraphing here, lines kept scrolling out to infinity so I had to break them.

As an elderly gay black tumor, I find this post offensive.

"He was cursed with a horrorshow of a face, like Guiseppe Archbold doing a study of mollusk tumors."

Oh, I definitely agree, there's plenty of latitude to get creative in that realm, if indeed you're trying to go to that realm in the first place. The main problem we have, is the whole so-called "PC mentality" that states we should be moving, as a society, closer towards recognizing each other as equals. So, with that in mind, saying "faggot is tamer than AIDS-bait" is a bit like saying "Getting kicked in the chest is less painful than getting kicked in the balls." But hey, I think it's been established that, if you're in a situation where you absolutely, positively, need to emotionally cripple someone of the homosexual persuasion, in as harsh a way as possible, then there's definitely more creative ways of doing it.

"He was cursed with a horrorshow of a face, like Guiseppe Archbold doing a study of mollusk tumors."

Which is why "faggot" seems an arbitrary and borderline lame choice as the official "N" word equivalent of the gay community.

Anyway, "cunt" certainly doesn't merit inclusion in the pantheon of forbidden first-letter words.  People can't help being gay, but a woman doesn't have to be a cunt.  In some cases, it's wonderfully descriptive.

I think it's great if there are people who aren't inclined to go there. The world would be a better place if there were more people like that, but you know what planet we're all stuck on. It's not just the "PC mentality" that leads to creative namecalling, it's situational -- like my friend with the last name of Lopez that calls the migrant labor in the farm where he lives "the water-brothers" rather than wetbacks. (He points out that some people may call him taco-bender names but he was born here and his parents are naturalized, so they ARE citizens, where all these beaners next door do not and are not.) Think of all the things we say in business that are kinder than what we're thinking but mean the same thing.

ZMannZilla

Point taken that in either case, someone's getting a boot.

ZMannZilla

(insert the "some of my best friends are" to raise myself above the notion that I personally bear ill will towards faggots, and "my sister-in-law switched teams after 6 kids and 17 years of marriage" to say I don't hate dykes)

The concept of name-calling as back-stabbing isn't limited to homosexual targets, or negro targets. There is one semi-positive thing I can say about the slants used toward homosexuals (this was pointed out by my college roomie, who died of AIDS nine years ago): plenty of them are factually true at some level. There's no blow, no pun intended, to calling a gay man a 'cocksucker'... "and damn good at it," you will get back with a grin. "They call us gay because we are gay," said a Life In Hell cartoon about how the word 'gay' has evolved since the 1940's. It is when the thing said is inaccurate, like equating homosexuality to pedophilia or bestiality, that it turns bitter. (My roomie hated the misperception that gays "recruit" boys, steal happy husbands, or engage in gerbilling.)

Like I said earlier, it seems to be a human thing to want to raise some people's traits and lower other people's traits. And one of last remaining ways this is done is through language, since our society is trying to move away from doing it by discriminatory or aggressive action.

ZMannZillafair enough then. sorry i originally mistook you for one of the politically correct retardicuses that sometimes come on here, hypocritically telling everyone to be more openminded by only speaking this way or that. i've personally been singled out 4 or 5 times now and the discussion's getting old. next time one of them comes on, i'll just draw an ascii cleveland steamer on papa smurf and leave the rest up to interpretation

No worries, mayne. Actually, I'd appreciate it if you could drop a Scatty Smurf in this thread anyways, assuming you do requests.
