After reading my previous post, I did want to jump in and apologize if Jesus Pimp, or anyone else somehow took what I said as directed their way. It wasn't.

But the argument that "ho" is now a part of society's vocabulary so it shouldn't be considered offensive doesn't make sense to me. The word did and still does mean "whore", and if a friend of mine ever called a girl I was dating, friends with, or just hanging out with for the night a whore he would end the night minus a friend and probably some teeth. Disrespecting anyone one I am with, friend or acquaintance, is disrespecting me.

You can say I am thin skinned or emotional if you would like, but to tell you the truth I was much weaker when I used to let stuff like that slide. For me, respect is at the core of my friendships and I can't think of anything more worthy of drawing a line and standing firm.

Oh, sorry again Pimp.
