Btw not getting at you man, just saying if it were down the pub and this were to happen, thats how it would go down. Especially here where the term will 99% of the time have the word "fucking" before it, and is mostly used more for negative, than positive (during an argument/scrap)

Calling someone a faggot on here or out in the world to people you dont really know or have met is disrespecting at the very least, never mind the fact that its still regarded as a derogatory put down. Talk about the terminology, origins, expanded meaning, wether or not it should still be a pejorative term, whatever..... just dont call someone on here it.
Amongst friends, good friends you have known fro quite a while then sure, in a conversation you can laugh and call them any name under the sun, including "haahaa your a fucking faggot". Ive did it with my friends. But if someone i dont know, or havent met calls me it, then we have problems we will be sorting out right shaprish.
Learn an ellipsis, faggot.

I knew this gay guy at work. He'd often use the word gay to refer to something disagreeable. Such as this thread.

I can understand people getting pissed if you aim it at them and mean to offend them. People who just get offended when people use offensive words are people we can do without. The words wouldn't seem so bad if they themselves didn't make such a fuss over it.

Words are after all, just words. Letters formed together to create a meaning. We put the meaning behind them. It's the context that you use the words in that matters, not the word itself.

I was playing Resident Evil 6 with some kid and there was a point where he had to avoid drowning, so I put on the sonic drowning music. He got all pissy because,"it was hard so I should shut the fuck up". So I called him a faggot and left.

Don't use the word that often meself these days, seems to be almost as bad as using the N-word now, even though in Scotland we all swear like cunts most of the time.

You used to be fond of the word "paki"
