Sigh. First at the article, then your comment!
But in all serioussness, political correctness is retarded (ucwatididthar? i used a politically incorrect word to describe it!).
Words have no meaning by themselves, meaning is given to the words by each individual person. To try and attribute words like gay as just being offensive, one has to wonder what closed off community these people are coming from.
"WHAT? I GOT CALLED 'GAY'?! I AM NOT, I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW ITS HURTFUL TO MY SEXUALITY TO BE ACCUSED OF SUCH!"
I blame Americans and their silly ideas of equality for heading this stupid movement. With that said, I'd also like to thank America for giving us George Carlin and Shift <3
