hey, I wasn't being snarky. I was just taking the theory to it's logical conclusion, IMO.

glad I inspired a little heat for once though

One does not have to be part of the affected minority to feel the need to change something that is inherently wrong.

For instance, I am a primarily straight married woman. I am and will continue to do what I can to help achieve equal protoection under the law for my gay sisters and brothers to be able to marry the lifepartner of their choice, even as I have been able to.[/derail]

Had I been old enough, I'd've been marching back in the 60's too.

Yes'm I totally agree. My point being that I hadn't thought about it before, but now I have been "made conscious" of it.

You ARE an affected minority if you are a woman. The label "witch" has been used as a way to torture and kill women simply for being independent. All women are linked to the derogatory use of the word just as other disinranchised groups are affected by the slurs used against them. Particularly the ones that were used by groups who lynched, raped, beat babies against cacti, etc. My point is, it should bother you.

DaryLLL- you are silly! Being compared to a dog is one thing, just as is being compared to a bundle of sticks used to start a fire, but the deeper root of the word a slur is what is important. You canine, you! : And, btw, my best friend was a female dog, so if you feel a kindredship, you're not alone. I kept her with me during labor to remind me how much I am like her and therefore how capable I am to birth wildly.

I'm offened too. Alot of people throw words around not even relizing what they mean. Like the word hate, we really should say dis-like, hate is such a strong word. And I swear to God, thats a big statment, can you image having him confront these people about things they swear to him? Retard, this is the worst! Mentally destabled people are some of the best humans on this earth. Dont even get me started on fag... Sorry ranting a lot tonight, its late despratly need some
