Ok, folks, no kidding this time, sorry about the last post, I just wanted to hit 200. Anyway, I got my rating sheets back, and they were: G/VG G/G G/VG And I won with that! Don't ever let anyone tell you that being an African-American isn't awesome, even if you're only 1/8. It is, and this proves it!

The wait is over, Allah be praised! I got an email saying that I had gotten an honorable mention about 5 minutes ago! Time to celebrate!

And I would say that you have a limited vocabulary, a case of immaturity, as evidenced by your choice of words, that you can't argue properly, have a narrow mindset, and I mean it exactly as it appears.

There is such a thing as being oversensitive. I have a number of gay friends (I mean, does anyone at a large school not?), and none of them would take offense at my usage of the word regarding that ass just.for.grfp. Words can have more than one meaning, but narrow-minded people who are looking for a reason to get offended often try to make it seem that there is only one meaning for a word. "Gay" is an example of this. "Gay" can mean "happy", "homosexual", or "stupid, annoying". Using the word for one meaning should not be taken to meaning any of the others. I was not calling his behavior happy or homosexual, as it was in no way either, I was calling it stupid. Or, take, for example the word "niggardly". It means stinginess, and has no etymological or other relation to the ethnic slur. Yet people take offense to the use of this word. People need to stop being so hair-trigger sensitive, and to appreciate the English language. Although, to the one person who accused me of homophobia, I would like to point out the actual meaning of that word, which is "an irrational fear of homo(sexuals)". I don't think that my use of that word showed an irrational fear, particularly as the context in which it was used was not even related to homosexuality. I've found this word to be a very poor choice, as none of the people whom I know who oppose gay marriage have an irrational fear of homosexuals, only religious and cultural beliefs that that lifestyle is wrong. I think that we should be just as tolerant of their culture and beliefs as we are of homosexuals. We shouldn't try to force anything on either group as that's just wrong. Finis.

There's no need to be hypersensitive on your alls part. And of all the things to point out, you point out that? Instead of, I don't know, everything that that just.for.grfp !&$%@# wrote?

It's stupid, gay behavior by people like just.for.grfp that really annoys me. Annoys me to the point of actually registering to say so. If you're going to troll the place, at least do so in a dignified manner, like that Friar Tuck dude.
