I was just reading a thread, and I came across what may be my biggest pet peeve not related to Politics. Why do people feel the need to use "gay" and "fag" as insults? I think this behavior shows extreme ignorance and is little better than using racial slurs as insults. Something needs to be done about this, as it's not an uncomon occurance. Kids need to be taught that using language like "fag" is not acceptable, and that "gay" refers to homosexuality, and should not be used as an insult. i'm hoping that this kind of thing will fade out with time, but it doesn't seem to be changing. Am I just a ranting, PC loser? Or does this bother anyone else?

The real problem is not the idea behinds the words, but the intolerance behind the idea.
