"Accurate concision is hardly name-calling"

I find the term "faggot" offensive. Period. It's in the same category as "nigger".

Until you learn the difference between a person's ethnicity and a person's voluntary leisure activities, you should take a refresher course in logic.

Do find the term "button man" to be an offensive term for a hired killer?

Do you find the term "southpaw" to be an offensive term for a left-handed pitcher?

Does it raise your hackles when someone says "leatherneck" instead of Marine?

Does it enrage you to hear a doctor referred to as a "sawbones"?

Would you file a civil rights complaint if people called you a "rookie" your first day on a new job?

What if you found out someone was from Canada, and you called them a junior cheese eating surrender monkey?

I see someone woke up on the wrong side of his macrame tea cozy today.
