Am i allowed to say "Faggot" on this board? - AfroChat - African American

Weapon_of_Israel · June 21st, 2005, 11:03 PM

Im just curious.

I am not talking about calling someone a faggot on the board, but if i am talking about a so-called "homosexual." Will my post be deleted if i say Faggot instead?

I hesitated to do it before but i have seen people say all kinds of things and nothing happened ot them, so i just wanna know.

Thank You

I'm waiting to read the reply to this question. Meanwhile I have a question, why that word? :lipsrseal

Well Cheese Biscuit the bible tells you not to elevate evil. The Bible tells you that that is a vile and FILTHY act (Romans 1:26) and that a "homosexual" should be put to Death (leviticus 20:13). There is not supposed to be any such thing as "homosexuality" on this earth and being that there are people who commit that act, it is supposed to be RIDICULED, not accepted.

In America the white man loves to weaken terminologies for things that are supposed to be ridiculed.

A murderer, is called a "serial killer"
A child molestor or rapist is called a "petaphile"
and a FAGGOT is called a "homosexual"

Do you see how they try to weaken the force of the words and make it seem like it is something beter than what it really is?

The bible tells you that This is a Sinful Kingdom (Amos 9:8) and that is why they exalt evil. Not too long ago, everyone said FAGGOT but now in America people are accepting faggotism and no longer speak against it.

I know that you dont like curses, so i am not trying to offend you, but that is not something that is wrong to say. And i dont like saying homosexual. He is what he is, a FAGGOT

Why not just use the word "homosexual" then? Makes it a little less intense ya know. And it prolly would be deleted if you called someone a "Faggot".

not if i called someone on the board a name but lets say i was talking about George Bush, or Jay-z or a Catholic priest and i was lettting everyone know that they are undercover faggots, thats how i would use it.

I dont like the other word, but if its the board rules i'll follow it.

I don't understand the need to use that term, it is slang and if you are trying to make someone realize that homosexuality is (in your opinion) wrong and evil by using a more hateful term (which is an originally british term for a small piece of firewood)--you should realize that you cannot change someone's opinion, they have to do that themselves, and using the term faggot to highlight your point or opinion shows you are willing to be potentially offensive (as some who may not agree with homosexuality may be offended by the use of 'faggot'-and you may argue that in your opinion they shoudln't be, but whether or not you think they shouldn't, they are) in order to force your beliefs on others--if you are saying that someone you don't know personally is an undercover faggot, I don't even see where that argument can go--at best you'd get 'yes, he is' vs 'no, he isn't', which i don't know maybe you enjoy such pointless conversations and your sense of self is defined by whether or not you win an argument no matter how trivial... and why you feel the need to throw a bible verse at everything...but that's another rant. anyway, my thought on using 'faggot', which has now been used several times in this thread, is that it's offensive and if you sit down and think a little harder you can figure out how to more effectively make your point without reverting to somewhat childish measures. That's all I have to say about that.

Excuse me, please do not tell me how am I supposed to speak or what i should or should not say. Or what will make people listen or what wont make people listen. You are NOT God. I asked the moderators a Question and i am waiting for a response from the MODERATORS, the last time i checked, you weren't a moderator.

Im not going to sit here and go tit for tat with you about something that is not any of your business. You seem to constantly want to be in opposition to everything i say or do on this board. Not that i need to answer to you, but i already explained why i prefer that term above. if you can't understand that well.... "if our gospel be hid it is hid to them that are lost" (2nd Corinthians 4:4)

Please to stop this nonsense, this is a message board, everyone is allowed to put in there 2 cents however they want, i choose to put the Bible out there rather than my own opinion, and and i don't like to effeminize my speech my using soft, words or less harsh words for a manner that needs to be spoken about disdainfully according to the BIBLE.

You and everyone else need to stop the slander.

You are allowed to say what you like. While I am all for speaking what is on your mind, I would like to think that we dont want to say anything that would obviously offend others. People who agree with your choice of words probably wouldn't have a problem with it, but the ones who are offended might lash out, but thats just life. Do not be surprised if you get a surprise attack from someone who was offended by your choice of words. To keep the drama at a minimum, I'd suggest that you not use the word. Look at what occurred just by asking the question in the first place. This is just my opinion and Im not saying that it's right. Other mods can weight in with their opinion.
