→f****t: ::: I was merely mentioning that "faggot" is an offensive epithet.
::When homsexuals call each other "faggot" and Black people call each other "nigga", that's the technique of "owning" a word that was offensive to them. As someone outside those groups, you can use those words but only within close company and as part of some humorous issue. The equivalent in the Jewish community would be the constant joking reference to "Hitler". How many "Seinfeld" episodes or other Jewish comedians would constantly make some kind of joke about the man who butchered so many of their fellow Jews? This is a way of dealing with a pain that people can not normally deal with in any other way. I hope I was helpful. [[User:Scorpio|Scorpio]] 08:58, 5 July 2007 (EDT)

::: I was merely mentioning that "faggot" is an offensive epithet. Someone else was arguing that the term should not be mentioned at all. What's next -- not mentioning Hitler unless the editor is Jewish? [[User:RSchlafly|RSchlafly]] 12:10, 5 July 2007 (EDT)
