The Homosexual Community Is Upset With Kobe Bryant

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Context is everything as well.

A spur of the moment angry name-calling session is ALOT different than going outside and preaching about the ills of whatever you don't like and putting people down.

There's no context to that word, Paul. Unless you're talking about meatballs or kindling

[Zero Sum 305]

Words come from within oneself. If you claim people say things out of anger to cause a reaction, its because they thought about what they're about to say. Most people do not think clearly when they are angry. Primal instincts take over a rational mind when anger is involved. Ask any psychologist before making baseless statements and passing them off as fact (once again).

He's read all about this psychoticology stuff online. From non-biased non-academic sources with none of that famous librul bias.

Don't try and start a debate with me on human action/reaction. You will lose.

Stop trying to make it be something so simple as a primal instinct from within. The assumption there is far too ignorant and takes the human mind for granted.

Calling the ref a faggot doesn't necessarily mean Kobe is a bigot, but he should apologize for using that slur towards an NBA official, in a game, on TV, and explain to the public why he said it.

there's no context for you, because you see 'words' as A + B = C.

If you seriously believe that someone is automatically a racist/bigot because of a word they use, then you need to re-evaluate your line of thought.

Los Angeles, right?

Or perhaps people need to think more clearly about their choice of words.

Use a term synonymous with racism or bigotry, don't be surprised if people assume that to be representative of your views.

In other words, it's your problem. The rest of society doesnt revolve around you.

Something I don't understand;

Why do some people, when angry, say something like, "suck my D###!"..?

Like that's a bad thing!?

Or, they say to someone, as an insult, "you are such a C###sucker!!"

Why do people try to attach a negative connotation to something so wonderful?

Doesn't that demean those doing the sucking? Wouldn't that, in turn, decrease the amount of future suckings?

I, for one, enjoy and appreciate, recieving oral stimulation and would never ridicule some1 for being a C###sucker!

Rather, I applaud them for providing an excellent and loving service!!

So, when I say, "you are such a C###sucker!!" I mean it as a compliment!

Then the 'rest of society' needs to ignore it/leave it alone.

with more Bigotry? That's the only way you challenge it.

You cannot be against intolerance, unless you are intolerant yourself.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

That's insane logic Paul. Certifiable in fact.

Why does the truth bother you so much?
