That's so gay.

[koban]

So what? You've just come full circle by evading the point yet again. The original usurpation of "gay" is the reason that that particular word is now used as an demeaning term. If the homosexuals chose a different word ("homosexual", for instance), whatever word they chose would likely have been corrupted as well (e.g., "so homo").



In short, you believe that those with strong characters are sociopaths. Okay. I'll use "strong character" to describe a healthy state of mind, and you go ahead and use it to describe a state of denial or emotional and mental detachment.

Dude - have you always been this retarded, or has it gotten worse since you turned gay? :darwinsm:

Calling me retarded and/or gay is not a terribly convincing argument. I'll be glad to reply to any bona fide objections, but frankly, you're only making a fool of yourself.

Both of the two comedians Penn and Teller are extremely gay, so is their stupid gay act, all their jokes are totally gay, and I would love to see them have an epic fail in their dumb gay career.

"objections"? :darwinsm:

That would assume that I cared whether you wanted to defend your retarded statement.

No, silly. I'm only interested in mocking your retarded statement. :darwinsm:

I must be thinking of someone else. I thought he was dead. :idunno:

Didn't he die? Plane crash or something? :execute:

 

[koban]

I think you're thinking of Seigfried and Roy.




Except they're not dead either. :think:

 

[koban]

But they are gay! :devil:

:think:

No .. at least, I don't think so ...

Except they're not dead either. :think:

That counts him out then.

But they are gay! :devil:

:think: Perhaps I spoke too soon. Are you sure he's alive?

 

[koban]

yeah - I googled it to be sure before I posted. :noid:

 

[Stripe]

Google? Well, it must be true then.

I wonder how he died. :think:

 

[koban]

I heard he got ate by a tiger, after MOM dropped it out of a plane on him.

So, you're basically saying what the blacks say about the "n" word. It's not demeaning if they use it on themselves. It's only demeaning if non-blacks use it.

How exactly did we jump from "strong character" to "sociopath" in one post?

Apparently it's you who missed the point. Someone is not in denial simply because they choose not to let name-calling affect them. I certainly didn't let it affect me growing up when I was teased about my red hair, pale skin, and freckles.

According to you, though, I'm a sociopath because I didn't let those childish insults affect me?

This thread makes me think of the song "UR so gay" by Katy Perry.

Why she had to use "UR" instead of "you're" is beyond me.

 

[koban]

maybe she was dissing the University of Rochester?

 

[DocJohnson]

Dunno, but Katy Perry has some pretty gay outfits... not that I'm complaining.

I like her outfits, at least what I've seen her in.

It assumes nothing of the sort. Why should your arguments be dependent upon my desire to counter them?

No, silly. I'm only interested in mocking your retarded statement. :darwinsm:

Mockery is best when accompanied by some substantive retort, and all you seem to have in your arsenal is an overuse of emoticons. I won't bother replying to you again until you say something worthwhile (or perhaps until I see fit to mock you in return — with more flair, of course).

So, you're basically saying what the blacks say about the "n" word. It's not demeaning if they use it on themselves. It's only demeaning if non-blacks use it.

That is the third (consecutive) time you have sidestepped this point (additionally reverting to a strawman argument). I'm fairly certain by now that you are not merely failing at reading comprehension, but trying to avoid concession with intellectual dishonesty.
Anyone who has watched the ad in the OP or who understands the topic of this thread already knows the problem with your misrepresentation: "He's gay" and "He's so gay" are two distinct usages. No such distinction exists with the N-word.

What you apparently consider a trademark of strong character, I consider a trademark of a sociopath.

I certainly didn't let it affect me growing up when I was teased about my red hair, pale skin, and freckles.

To put it bluntly: I don't believe you. Perhaps you grew desensitized to the insults until they no longer bothered you noticeably (I know what that's like), or perhaps those particular insults were so weak that you easily ignored them (obviously some insults are more affective than others). I do not believe, however, that you made a conscious decision to turn off your emotional response to language and thereby remained unaffected. Normal brains do not work that way. Sociopaths can be emotionally detached, but I doubt even most of them can access an "emotion switch" at will.

"flair" ? :darwinsm:

Dude - if you're not a chick, that's super, uber-gay. :darwinsm:

You persist in trying to justify your obnoxiouness and it doesn't work. The pharisees and teachers of the law were the legalists of their day. They exercised their power at the expense of the people. Jesus confronted them with their hypocrisy in light of this. A far cry from calling them "morons".

Yes, Jesus was angry with moneylenders. They shouldn't have been there profiting and using the temple to rip people off. So?

Did Jesus cast Peter away? Did he mindlessly insult him or rebuke him?

:blabla:

Jesus did not call a caanite woman a dog. That simply didn't happen if you actually bother to read the passage. It's also telling that as a result of the woman's reply and faith Jesus healed her daughter from her affliction. How very insulting

"Dog," was a common insult toward Gentiles among the Jews in that day. If He didn't intend it that way it was pretty insensitive of Him to use that term.

I have no idea to whom the mixed lady you refer. It seems rather contradictory to accuse her both of serial monogamy and adultery... :squint:

She got married five times, and it is possible she may have cheated on some, if not, all of them. You need a brain, Arthur.

Jesus' comment about Judas was not an insult, rather a fact. He didn't call him a moron.

You sure do miss the point a lot. It doesn't matter whether it was an insult or not. It wasn't the most tolerant or accepting comment. That was the point.

You've posted half a dozen examples which don't come in anywhere near the same bracket as the stupid insults you hurl around here because of arrogance and immaturity. I wonder how many examples of Jesus having compassion and kindness could be illustrated in return. Several I would venture. So why don't you start showing some of that?

Ask lmohm how much compassion and kindness I've shown him.

I must be thinking of someone else. I thought he was dead. :idunno:

Didn't he die? Plane crash or something? :execute:

Penn and Teller were on TV, just last night. And the show was taped earlier in the day. So I'm sure you're thinking of someone else.
