"unforgivable"
How dramatic! How about usurping freedom is that "unforgivable'?
Do you agree with outlawing the term Illegal Alien? How about just using it in public discourse? At a public meeting?
Unfortunately, being here in Texas, I have had friends who were illegals. They never once mentioned being insulted by that term.
'Faggot' is a well-known insult, that everyone finds offensive when someone they don't like calls them one.
I got it -- you're so partisian you'll defend one of ours when she calls someone a faggot.
Either that, or you're the kind of person who goes around calling others a faggot.
Those are small groups, but obviously you're out there.
I'm on the other side of that fence. I believe calling folks "faggot" is tacky, rude, senseless. And it ain't just me.
How many times are you going to equate "Saying that isn't good" with "Ban that word and lock up those who use it!" You really can't think they're the same thing, can you?
