oh god...faggot is probably the worst. i shudder when i hear it. the reason it's so offensive is because its use is an indirect attack on homosexuals. back in the days of witch trials and whatnot, they would burn the "witches" at the stake, and the bundles of wood that they used as fuel for the fire were called faggots. but homosexuals were also perscuted heavily during this time period. during the burnings, they would use those accused of homosexuality as additional fuel for the fires. the homosexuals were used as firewood, or faggots. so today, the word faggot has an extreme connotation of hatred and persecution. in other words, it's a pretty painful word.... hoping she enlightened someone out there, hezi ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
