What can get you arrested in Germany is merely distasteful and not appropriate here.

Wow, I missed all sorts of drama in the last 24 hours. Credit goes to the idiot/s who dug a 20 foot trench in a quiet corner of my world in an ill-fated attempt to make off with 300 pounds of copper wire. Unfortunately, the copper wire was attached to about 3000 phone lines, including mine.
At any rate, Congratulations to Fit! Don't worry, after a few days everyone will be back to their old selves.
As to the other interesting theme (calling things 'gay') here, I should mention that, in fact, we've a poster at work (which is right across the hallway from me) that goes into this specifically...I'll see if I can't smuggle a camera in and take a photo.

the only thing bad about it is it makes it sound like being gay is bad, and if thats what you take it to mean, then your too dumb to be posting on here.
Not to be a dick, but how do you intend calling something "gay" to be taken, if not negatively?
I hate to continue this debate, but I thought the point that had to be made.

All of you, just grow up. And someone mentioned that "it comes with the territory". That's such a discriminatory an racist remark. That's saying that if you are born black or gay, you deserve to be made fun of. What if you were autistic? Would you like people to make fun of you because that's the way you were born? It's not right and it won't be tolerated here.
1All of you, just grow up.
2And someone mentioned that "it comes with the territory".
3That's such a discriminatory an racist remark. .
1 many people that have posted are grown up
2 I hate to break to you, but it does come with the territory. It sucks, but thats the way it is. I'm not saying that it is right, but it's what people do.
3 homosexuality isnt a race.

It could be used as a racist remark. It wasn't just applied to sexual preference. Just all of you drop the subject and try not to use the word "gay" or any other word meaning the same thing in any derrogatory way.

Just lock this thread, ese.
About "********" though, I don't associate that term with being mentally handicapped. To me, it's simply a way to distinguish something as exponentially worse than just plain "stupid".

It's not a racist remark, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. If you can pick out a word and whine at us for using it in a context that it's been used in hundreds of times on this board before, we can nitpick what you classify it as.
Race depends on your parents' genes, sexual preference is a preference.
If race was the same way as sexual preference, I would probably be black just for the hell of it, but it's not and neither am I.
which is how a large amount of the word feels about the word "gay"
It takes about 3 clicks to do a temp ban, so why don't you all just behave?

they are not mentally handicapped...they are developmentally disabled, or DD for short.
calling something '********' is making reference to the perception & stigma people hold against DD people...and it really isn't cool (or nice).

Instead of racist, I think he was looking for the word prejudice(sp) but I could be wrong. Either way I dont think that word that starts with a g and ends with an ay is offensive to gay people.

We'll I am glad people got offended by saying ********. I was worried I was going to have to go Kramer or Mel Gibson to get some reactions here.
