Some fag that pops his head in here every now and then....Chet said:Who is this bturk you speak of. I've never head of him.
No kidding. Maybe he and bturk ran off together to take that gay cruise. Perhaps we'll see them holding hands on MTV tonight.Repo Man said:jtfortin seems to have disappeared from this board too.
All right, to be honest and maybe I'm the only one who feels this way, but the word "fag" is a little overused around here. I know this is a public forum and people can say what they please, but from where I come from this is considered offensive and is not something to expect from an educated group of people.Mike D. said:Some fag that pops his head in here every now and then....
sorry fags
BTW...Catch "Gay Cruise" on MTV tonight....yuck!

You never know who out there might be gay. I'm not beating a PC drum. My sister is homosexual and I hear stories all the time of the slurs and discrimination she and other gays face. I know it's an unfortunate fact of life and words like "fag," nor discrimination will ever go away.
I was at a Red Sox game last night and I probably heard "fag" or "faggot" hurled at the other team's players at least 20 times. I think that's terrible. I'm not accusing anyone here of being ignorant or discriminatory, I just wanted how people can see such comments. Thanks.
I don't think it's a question of lightening up but being respectful of other people. The joke has long lost its significance and is completely lost on newcomers and guests of Cyburbia.prudence said:Lighten up, Francis.
I agree (sorry british cigarrettes)prudence said:Can we still use the "F" word to refer to cigarettes?
i.e. - "That f** left a bad taste in my mouth."
