Anything is deragatory if used correctly.

Why is this even a debate?

It depends on how the person takes it or the situation. I guess it all depends basically. But i use that word much

This is not only a debate section but to discuss on serious topics as well

I worded my post wrong.

I meant that it's obvious that it can be used jokingly or offensively just like any other word. What's the point in pointing it out? I can't see anyone possibly disagreeing unless they're a troll. Nor can I see anything being added to the subject except stupid stories where people will whine about how it hurts their feelings. O.o

*Hugs* That bastard. :mad:

Shall I kill him for you, M'lady?

Stop it.

I don't really like it, but I don't mind it much either. One of my friends says it a lot, and I get a bit pissed at her, but I don't think I'd be that bothered if she only said it a bit.

i personally hate the word fag. do you know its origins? Back in the middle ages, the Catholic Church was pretty much corrupt and burned people that were accused of being 'witches' along with other people accused of various crimes (like being homosexual). The burning wood they used were these long sticks called fags (this is also why ciggaretts were once called fags). So when you call someone a fag, its like calling them firewood. not very nice when you call someone it in a mean way, especially if they are homosexual.

but if your just kidding around with somebody and you both know you aren't being serious, i don't see how calling your friend a "fag" is that bad.

Um...who stop what? Us? >.> So...basically, people keep getting so upset over being called firewood? Oh. My. God. XD

...

I mean, how terrible! That's so mean and wrong.

... So now "firewood" is an offensive term...?

what i was saying is that people in the Middle Ages thought of homosexuals as nothing more than something to burn in fire, which is pretty disturbing.

...Good for them?
