I agree with docbungle (in a way), our society has become one in which you must constantly moniter what you say so that you don't offend someone. We have taken political correctness so far that we have become stifled. While some words probably don't belong in polite conversations should I really get blasted because I called a person black instead of african-american? Perhaps people shouldn't use the term gay to describe something, but on the same token the term is not used (in most cases) to specifically attack an individual or even a specific group (homosexuals), but as just a word. People need to relax a little and not get so wound up about stuff- no offense to any individuals, I mean "people" as our society as a whole (so as to not offend anyone)
