Queer.

Language subconsciously shapes how we view others.

Using the name of any social group to describe a person, place, or thing as deficient, inferior, poor, unusual, etc. is offensive, e.g. "That is so gay; I got Gyped; Don't Jew me."

"Be mindful of your thoughts, for thoughts become words; be mindful of your words, for words become actions; be mindful of your actions, for actions become habits; be mindful of your habits, for habits become character; be mindful of your character, for character becomes destiny."

And the kicker is...these quotes are posted by a guy who believes "Buddhism" is NOT a religion, and that no authority on earth is greater than the Dalai Lama's...😆😆😆

Your first premise commits the logic fallacy of Ad Hominem Abusive; instead of attacking an assertion, one attacks the person who made the assertion.

What I do or do not believe about Buddhism has nothing to do with the truth or falsity of my argument.

Your second premise commits the logic fallacy of Straw Man; one deliberately attacks an argument that is different from the actual argument presented.

I have never argued that "no authority on earth is greater than the Dalai Lama," but rather, there is no greater authority on Buddhism, than the Dalai Lama.

Congratulations for once again, putting your ignorance on parade. Or was it someone else who believes that no authority on earth is greater than Dictionary.com?

Whob, please stop bringing up topics in the incorrect thread, this thread is not for discussing Budhism.

If you guys wish to discuss that topic do it in the appropriate thread.

Thanks.

here is a better way of saying someones gay.

the original of that was "you're awesome"

anywho, I'm quite sick of people using "gay" as a synonym for loser or effeminate. I know someone who I'd like to think of as a friend in his early 40's. He is, literally, a fat gay Jew. He's also the smartest and funniest man I know.

People tell you this (in different variations), and it's not trite: what someone is doesn't matter. Who he or she is does. Don't let something such as their sexuality get in the way of tolerating someone. In fact, statistically, it's nearly impossible for you to not know someone is gay. Honestly, knowing someone who's homosexual will truly open your eyes in this matter. It's my fervent hope that you do, in fact.

Quite simply, this whole 'gay' thing is a matter of ignorance and fear, and people who use homosexuality as an insult or scapegoat disgust me.

This is the gayest thread ever.

Usually when someone says, "Oh, that's so gay!", I will respond with something like, "Yes, because that particular chair is having sexual intercourse with another chair of the same gender."

lmao

😆 😆 😆

Actually, I don't know why people are making such a big deal of this. If you aren't going to say 'gay', don't say 'dumb' or 'retard(ed)', either. The same thing that happened with 'gay' happened with those two words.

I don't use it. I take the world gay seriously so It doesn't cross my mind to use it in that context. And it disturbs me to see even homosexuals use it in such a derogatory context.. But, that's where free will comes in, and I could only hope they learn to mature over that..

yup

The word 'gay' has changed context. If somebody were to call something 'homosexual' in a derrogatory way, nobody around them would find it funny.

It's simply gone through a large meaning change, and when somebody uses it, they are not actually referring to being gay. Just like retarded, as others have mentioned (DR).

Can't really be bothered to read through the thread, so if this has already been mentioned (and it probably has)... Well, whatever.
