blah blah blah

Yeah okay, today's rant topic: offensive language. No, not swearing, for god's sake I do that all the time. I mean using words that are offensive to certain groups of people. Namely, the inappropriate use of the words "gay" and "retarded." Now don't get me wrong; I am totally against political correctness in all its ugly forms, but I'm talking about just basic respect for people here. Like, there's this kid I work with, and every other sentence he's like, "that's so f*cking gay" or "how retarded is that?" I've brought this to his attention, and told him a number of times that it bugs the shit out of me, but he does it anyway. Lately he's been doing it on purpose and then laughing, so I've just quit saying anything most of the time. But holy muffins, people, it's not that hard! Can't you just say "that's stupid" or "that's dumb?" What did gay people and the mentally handicapped ever do to you, huh? I told this kid at work that someday he's gonna meet a gay retarded guy who's gonna kick his ass...I would laugh....

Alright well I'm going now. Don't be stupid. Think before you talk. Later!
