We have created a couple generations of whimps and society haters.

I was in high school in the early 90s. I saw it then. I called someone not present a 'retard'. One chick standing there expressed that she didn't like that term. I said - "well, then don't use it". That was it. Nothing more was said. Today, I'd have been drawn and quartered!!!

I have never really understood the concept of acceptable and unacceptable descriptors.

Midgets have been midgets forever. I don't even know the origin of the word, but somehow it became derogatory to call them midgets. Midget is far less descriptive that "little person". I'd rather be called a midget than little person.

Retarded is the same thing. I never called a retarded person retarded to their face, but it was used as a descriptive term to what everyone knows is a retarded person. Hell, I called a lot of people retarded that were not. Same with fag. I don't call fags fags. I call people that do weird stuff fags.

Public sex education of children has caused this. They see no more difference between discussion of sex preferences and geography... Both of which they are ignorant and can only parrot what they've been told by slightly less ignorant people.

You notice just how quickly liberals stopped talking about monkey pox when children started coming down with it. Shut them right up. Afraid their dirty secret was going to get out.

Dude - I grew up in the 80s - everybody called everybody a fag. There wasn't a day that went by that someone didn't tell someone else "don't be a fag", or "You FAG!". It was awesome!

My point though is that it is the boomers and Gen Xers that allowed this shit to creep in. Gen Z and Millenials are just the victims of this bullshit.

Depending on the circumstance, I've been known to reply "How about I address you as asshole?"

Most of these guys remember growing through the 50's & 60s where when someone said "**** you", a fight followed. Now, kids , teens darn near mean it as a greeting not expecting but a much-needed ass kicking followed by "what I say?"

I still don't get this either.
GO HOME, CLOSE THE DOOR AND PUT WHATEVER YOU WANT WHEREVER YOU WANT. Just don't come out the door and broadcast to the world where you put whatever it is where you want. I don't care. I do care when you bash me because YOU come out and tell me what your doing and expect me to accept it. Want me to accept it? SHUT THE **** UP.
Simple.

Trannies -that a completely different story. That's just mental illness plain and simple and these people need mental health help not encouragement or genital mutilation, especially on minors that don't have a clue yet.

I've told more than a few queers that their sexuality don't mean shit to me, I do not accept it as normal, and no shits are given,
When they become instantly offended and angry, I further my point by informing them that until 2 biological men/women can produce a child with no help from the opposite sex, I will continue to view them as freaks, and they can't do jack shit about that. Their blood pressure pegs out and I laugh.
Flame suit on, .....not that I give a tin shit about any opinions of me.

A slightly different use of the terms used as I heard growing up!


Regular people that do weird stuff, are-- crazy.

Rich or famous people that do weird things are-- eccentric!

School buds that would wear a pink shirt, or listen to the Bee Gees got called fags. They weren't gay. It was just good fun.
