Assumption on your part. Most bullies stop bullying when the victim defends themself and move on to find fresh meat that won't strike back.

Who ya callin' sensitive? I'm deeply offended by that!

But, seriously.. we've been living in an age where self-appointed authorities tell grown people "You can't say that.' I guess it started with PC speech codes on college campuses, another thing to thank liberals for.

Haha. I was watching the Bad Leuitenant with Harvey Keitel the other night. (The original movie). Imagine a film like that being produced and released today! There would be outrage and protests in front of the theater.

Lets take sports for an example!

In football, you can no longer over celebrate in the end zone, you cant taunt a player if you make a good play, you cant hit the quarterback "too hard", etc. WTF?

In boxing, you now have pro fighters suing other fighters for smack talk. WTF???

This is getting ridiculous!

I love it when people complain that they don't feel as comfortable using offensive language as they used to. I would advise them to toughen up. If you're not a "pansy", then you should use whatever language you want. You can't control other people's reactions; you can only control yourself.

As for the topic on gays/lesbians and same sex marriage, during an interview with rapper T.I, he was asked about his opinion on gays and same sex marriage. He had a great response.


"If you’re gay you should have the right to be gay in peace, and if you’re against it you should have the right to be against it in peace."

- Clifford T.I Harris
