faggot!
Westboro Baptist Church I think

They're more like a cult of inbred families xD
they are proud to be fags anyway..
85% of people dont use that word to incite violence...i think cslling somebody a pussy is worst imo...
I dont think the rest of the world looks at being called a faggot is a harsh as americans...

You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those that can do nothing for him!
Raul_DukeThis is the first and worst I've ever heard of this word "faggot" however this is not what people mean when saying it. I truly believe that if this was widely known then the word would become less known...and spoken
even without that definition, it's the word most used in hate crimes against gay people. it is to them what the n word is to black people, so of course it's offensive.
or take it another way, the word faggot is used to try and insult any man, gay or straight. since there's already a bias from most people against gays and lesbians, it is an easy way to insult them. anything you call someone that's almost guaranteed to make them react in an aggressive or hostile manner can't really be ok, can it?
True Steve... but I do agree with Vic in a sense, that the world has gone mad.. whatever happened to ''sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me''... I understand you have to adhere to some sort of conduct while representing a league or team as a professional and if it was on live TV thats worse... but a 100k ''swear jar''... damn!

let me drive down to southwest DC and test out that 'names will never hurt me' theory
but pre-tax, kobe made 302,515 for that one game, not even counting all his endorsement money, i think he can take the 100k hit
Hmmmm working with young GLBT youth... the term faggot has been identified as one of the words used most when bullying them... and unfortunately the end result for many is suicide...
the term faggot is derogatory and indicates hatred based on sexual behaviour and orientation...
Suicide of anyone makes me sad

Thats sad... ...dummies get called stupid all the time but they aren't smart enough to form a coalition so stupid is acceptable to be used daily...i think that homosexauls commit suicide is from internal feelings...no other group goes that far(suicide) because of who they are,(that i can think of) maybe eating disorders

Well of course he can take the hit, the monies nothing to him and in reality the franchise will prob pay it, like it happens in Pro football in UK. Would it of happened in sports 10, 20 or 30 years ago? Doubt it very much... even if the fine was relevant for the time. I dont see it as a good thing anyways, but thats just my opinion.
I dunno of this area you speak of Steve, but I am gathering its un-savory and people are waiting for an ''excuse''
As for Hana's comment on suicide... I would like to think it took a lot more than being called a fag for them to kill themselves. A lot more... Suicide imo is a horrible, selfish, pathetic and undignified thing to do, no matter whats up, apologies in advance to anyone who has lost friend/family due to this, but thats my honest opinion.
And Suicide stories make me angrier more than sad.
On another note, if I lost 1/3 of my wage for making 1 mistake, id be owing them money at the end of the month

it is the repeated stuff that goes along with being put down for your orientation... well for anything... the use of the term fag for a put down in general society contributes to the low self esteem that many GLBT people experience... and the maintainence of their discrimination contributes to homelessness and disownment from their families... what parent kicks out their 14 year old son cause he says he is gay... and it happens... all to frequently... all this shit... (which i have only given two examples of) contributes to low mood amongst a lot of things... and it dont' take a rocket scientest to figure out that ongoing... long term low mood has the potential to lead to thoughts of hopelessness... suicide makes me angry, sad and confused... but ignorance just makes me straight mad...
Sorry to be a downer... i have used the word.. faggot... but i then live with the remorse of the fact that my use of it... just has contributed to the ongoing social exclusion of a group of humans... D:

BubbaKushfags killen they self
wheres the harm in that
but then again if someone is gay
thats on them
as long as they not bring that shit around me
i jus cant stand it when a dude acts like a princess
even more so then a female
