    I'm not sure people are saying you can't use gay, lame, or whatever, they're just voicing an opinion that they find it offensive.

    It’s then up to each individual to decide if the perceived offence is worth taking into account and if so altering your behaviour to accommodate them.


    Fair enough. I merely think it might be better to not alienate yourself from others who mean no slight. It has more chance of working also.

    Yeah, it has worked real well with fag, retard and ni gger. As evidenced by their use on tv constantly.

    When any of those three are used it is almost always by a character being offensive. The exception being black people using the reclaimed ni gger.
