Everyone's "pissing their pants over [your] language" because it isn't necessary. It isn't necessary at all.
But I can already see what your reply to that will be: something about, "oh lmfao i no it iznt nesasary bt i lyk uzng it. so."
Here's a tip, junior: arguments are generally taken more seriously when they don't have so much profanity in them.
I full and well expect a very, very obscene reply to this.

But just take a look at what you're doing for a moment...he said that he does this so his point will get across and his issue will be addressed. If you all had simply ignored his post from the get-go and continued to do what you wanted to do, you would have ultimately won this debate. You are all basically acting like fish and were hooked by his bait rofl . I don't think his intention was ever to argue...so his argument getting taken seriously probably isn't really much of a concern for him....

You "respect" it? Then why not stop cursing at everyone if you "respect" what they have to say? Somehow, to me, being cursed at just isn't synonymous to "I respect what you say." But then, what more could you expect from someone who describes "bad," "lame," or "stupid" things as being "gay"?
And must we get into that silly little argument about a stupid slang word? "Gay" is a word with a couple of meanings; some good, some bad, just like many other words. You don't see me getting up in arms when people use "black" to mean "evil" and "dirty", do you? You don't see me interpreting that as meaning "Black people are evil", do you? You don't see me getting pissed because someone says "PMSing" to mean being a b***h, do you? You don't see me thinking that means "women are bitches", do you? You don't see people getting angry when people use "lame" to mean something negative, do you? You don't see physically handicapped people going "OMG! You're trying to be negative toward the handicapped!!" do you? No, you don't, because I and most others realize that words can have more than one meaning and they can all be completely unrelated to each other stare .
Just because one meaning of the word is "happy" and the other is "homosexual" doesn't mean all of a sudden that homosexuals are all happy, lively individuals, does it? Then why would that be so if another, slang-only, meaning of the word was "lame"? When people use "gay" as an negative thing, they are usually not trying to make comments about sexuality or their opinion on homosexuals in any way, shape, or form.
I'm sorry, I know that its off topic and that it may offend some people, but that is one thing that just seriously pisses me off. I hate it when people try to accuse people of being homophobic over the stupidest little things. Matter of fact, I hate it when people try to accuse people of being hateful (as in racist, sexist, ageist, etc.) in any sort of way over small, insignificant actions and words. I just hate that with a passion because I find it all just idiotic and immature...-_-
I really do apologize if anyone got offended by that little rant, but that's just how I think of this whole thing with the usage of the word "gay". People shouldn't get so upset of insignificant things...it wastes time and energy that could be used doing something constructive. For example, instead of worrying over people using "gay" in a way that you don't like for some reason...shouldn't we be kicking the asses of those that decide to actually persecute and harm homosexuals? I think the way people are treated is much more important than this. Another example, instead of worrying about how Blacks call themselves "*****" and the internal oppression this represents, we need to worry about how Blacks physically and emotionally bully each other for not following ignorant stereotypes (ya know, "black on black crime" and all that jive). We need to worry about the actions first and the implication of words second, simple as that. While we fuss about the word "gay" and the word "*****", people are dying because of the greater, more devastating, illustration of intolerance there is in the violence against these groups.
Which sorta goes back to this entire argument. This is just plain dumb and overall, there was no reason to get upset at MajKai over such an insignificant statement (see my awesome way to make everything related in some way shape or form in the end?). His words cannot hurt you in any sort of way. Now if he was calling everyone on this thread complete and utter morons for filling out this sheet, you may have a case against him. But he didn't. He just said "write your ******** stories", which really is what we all should be doing...
