pls. if you didn't think women were weaker or dumber - same goes for gays - then you wouldn't even call men women or poofs. would you? wouldn't be funny and wouldn't mean anything.

you don't have to be a raging gay hate-killer to be homophobic or say or do something homophobic.

and if you just say it cause everyone else does ... then maybe you should stop and actually think about it?

its all well and good for you guys to say OH I DONT MEAN ANY OFFENCE when you're straight. its the same as the idiots in the Gallen thread saying oh Paea should just get over it.

Who the f**k are you pair to tell me if i'm homophobic or not? You both don't know sh*t, so f**k off. I could trot out the old 'i've got gay friends' excuse, but it means nothing. I repeat, GROW A PAIR, and harden up.

The definition "irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals", Tell me how calling someone a nice person fits into that definition?

You don't know my background, you don't know my beliefs, and you certainly don't know me, so piss off with your labels. After reading one of your swill in the Matt Johns thread, I reckon it's funny you're all of a sudden moral crusaders for the gay movement.

I'm not saying you're homophobic. calm down tiger.

all I said was ... to you (maybe to most ppl) they're harmless insults, but I get it if someone's offended by them. like I said - there's a link there between the insult and WHY it's an insult to being with.

don't u think so?

adam...are you gay?? no? then i don't think you can possibly have any concept of what it's like to be discriminated against because of your sexual preference.

you have no problem with people using homophobic slurs on this forum. good for you. are you a gay man?? perhaps u would feel differently if you were.

to you and many others this complaint may seem insignificant. fair enough u can have your opinion. but if gay people never stood up for themselves to begin with then their lifestyles would still be illegal.

You miss the point entirely, and a crap argument anyway. I thought you would do better than "are you gay, how would you know what it's like!" I'm certain getting discriminated against because of sexual preference is a horrible feeling. However most of what you seem to deem homophobia, discrimination, is nothing more than petty schoolyard level sh*t talk. I get bagged out all the time, for various reasons. I know what that feels like. And it doesn't feel like discrimination.

Blues breaker - Have you called a gay person a 'nice person' or 'androtop'? Or have you actually asked them if they find it offensive when people use it as a negative noun?
You realise you are using someone's sexuality as a put down, that it's negative to be who they are...

That's what it comes to here.
Like it's p*ss easy to say that it's not offensive - How do you know?
Because you don't find it offensive? Well great but if you're straight, then how the f**k would you know?
Ignorance.

And Adam, you have absolutely NO idea what it feels like.
Unless you're of racial decent and had slurs or you are gay, then I struggle to find how you would know and also that you'd still have the same god damn ignorant attitude.

No actually, i'm fairly sure you do have to hate gays to be homophobic.

And at the risk of opening up a completely different can of worms, women generally are weaker than men, completely different body types. Surely you aren't denying this?

why are you all so defensive? all I said was that some things are discriminatory in ways that you might not think of so maybe you should all stop and think about them.

seriously you guys are so sensitive about this.

hahahaha they so are. and the irony is they are whinging about the people who lodged the complaint being over sensitive.

Um where did you get that whopper from?:?

I suggest you actually know something about what you're talking about instead of trying to force your opinion as fact.

The funny thing about Borat was that he was not sending up people from Kurdistan, he was sending up American attitudes.

The same could be argued for Matthew Johns sketch.

I laughed bcause those attitudes "faulty etc" are so ridiculous.

It could be argued that the skit is PRO gay.

Seriously though, how good was that scene in Underbelly where Chris Flannery gets whacked...and then Ian Roberts wheelbarrows him outside with Mondo Rock's "come said the boy" playing in the background?

:p
