obviously, some people are only for free speech if what is said contributes to their own happiness.
out of the blue i have decided to comment upon words that can offend people, and how i feel about them...
shit/crap/ whatever: people, these words should not offend you. i will not even address them. if you are over the age of 14, there is no reason to get soap in the mouth for saying such a thing. in washington's time, the word "darn" was so atrocious. would you ever yell at your 5 year old for saying "darn it!" ? i doubt you would.
fuck: i say fuck all the time. so do you. while i don't believe little kids should be saying it, it's out there. and i don't find it very offensive. then again, i fucking have a fucking potty mouth and people should just fucking deal with it. :)
c*nt: here's a toughie. this word is definitely the bully on the playground of bad words. i try to avoid this word as much as possible, and only save it for people i loathe beyond reason. there is no real reason to use this word unless this person is the scum between your toes. and even then, you probably should save this for your own personal ranting about them to your journal or a friend.
pussy: i'm not so sure about this word. i don't like saying it, i prefer "pie" if i'm not going to say vagina. thank you, meghan fox. in all honesty, there's really not a need for this word unless you are a fifth grade boy, or a pussy cat doll.
now for the big finally, the two words i cannot stand!
fag: unless you are british and asking for a cigarette, you should not be saying this word! it is offensive to anyone, gay or not! there is literally no need, and if i hear this word come out of your mouth, not only have i lost a great amount of respect for you, but i will have no choice but to assume that you are one of the most homophobic people of our time! and yes, exclamation points at the end of every statement are necessary! this word is a no-no, and if i hear it from you, i will do my best to wash your mouth out with soap.
gay: "oh my god, i cant go out in this, this outfit is sooooo gay." "ugh my teacher is soo gay. i have so much homework!"
ok, i admit it, i myself have let this word slip. but it's wrong, people! if you are using this word to mean anything than what it really means, you are no friend of mine. not only are you promoting homophobia, you are implanting in your own head over and over that being gay is stupid, wrong, annoying, or unfashionable. the only ONLY time this word should be used is when you are talking about homosexuality.
any thoughts?

I totally agree with you that people who say "fag" and "gay," which are words I absolutely detest, are homophobic and there is absolutely no need for those!
P.S. I like your writing style and analogies! :)
im not sure i agree with your opinion on the word gay. In most of those contexts no one is actualy refering to homosexuality that are refering to something that they are unhappy with.
