why does this phrase exist? does anyone else take offense to this? i'm dont think i'm gay but when i hear someone say this something sure pulls at my heart to object. i want to hear some thoughts on this.

I think the phrase is pathetic. I don't know who thinks that it makes them look tough when they say it, because they are showing their own insecurities by needing to make someone feel inferior due to their sexuality.
And neilsucks, maybe you should decide whether or not you are straight, just so that you can stick with only one sex that you are going to use, it would make you a complete cretin to be doing that to both sexes

is this a joke? a word is a word, and only that. what you think it means is your fault.
i say it as often as possibly, but very sarcastically i admit

but for you is it meant to be offensive? it's just that i've never heard somebody exclaim 'faggot' for anything positive. i'm just getting sick of homophobia. i used to have all walls up and double-barred against homosexuality. thru the help of a friend my view has long since changed. even if you do believe it is wrong what is more purposeful in calling someone gay then calling them, say, serial murderer. i just dont understand why use it at an insult.

Yah a word is a word, but no one comes up with their own meaning for it. They were taught what it means. My God, no one goes around calling someone a faggot meaning that they think the other guy is a bundle of sticks tied together.
People say it, and apparently you say it as often as possible, but you acknowledge the fact that it is said out of cruelty, or at least that it is offensive.

well, usually i let em go when im chillin with my friends, who get jokes and arent distracted by the fragile ears of the world. im sick of people who are sick of homophobia. i still dont understand why anyone would be insulted by words. but every word means something different to everyone, even if its just a little different. and no shit that they were taught it. i wish it were more offensive. espescially now.

Whoa, fuck man, Steve you sound like a total idiot. That chick wasn't saying shit to piss you off, she was making a point
you're a dick for wanting it to be more offensive. How are you not dead yet, you'd think someone would've kicked the fuckin life out of you by now
if you don't understand how people can be insulted by words stop being a prick and trying to

words are like religion, they're taught to us, but our minds fill in the gaps of what we don't understand and what we're inclined to want them to mean. isn't it funny that most domesticated animals are far less intelligent than us but they can read people by looking at them far better than we can? a dog can hear a man call one of his friends a fag in jest and the dog will think they are enjoying themselves by the smile on their face. if the same man calls a hockey player a fag on tv the dog will know he is angry.

the people who truthfully and sinscerly call people faggots are mostly rednecks and jocks.. so my use of it, and steve's i presume, it's like a sarcastic imitation of stupid people...
this whole thing is like whining about how nazis hate jews...
and with that.. you're all a bunch of black jewish faggot nazis

your reference to nachos is offensive to me because the frito-lay corporation is a multi-national conglomeration of evil and underpays the poor corn farmers of those wonderful indigenous lands i have never been to.
