Subject: Good work Brett

This is a sweet spot Brett, I like this, we need more stuff like this. In response to that stuff about using gay and fag to mean stupid bad whatnot, I would say that its complete bullshit to say that this has no reference any more to a homosexual person or as tyler said, a bundle of sticks. There are multiple meanings to the words yes, but it is clear that when we say "wow stop acting so gay" we don't mean stop acting so happy, and I would say there are plenty of fun discriptive words to use which don't bash people. Everyone should be able to live the life they want, and I agree that we should be able to say what we want, freespeach is important, but I also feel that we should think about what we have to say. Its clear that calling people fags and gay is offensive, we can try to deny that in many respects, but when we call homosexual people gay, and then whenever somebody does something stupid we call them gay we form a connection, which isn't right. Keep an open mind everyone, Brettly nice work, thanks again, and if anyone wants to start a disccusion on the US in the world I would be game, because in my opinion the US has horrible foriegn and domestic policy. PEACE
