1. Do you look like a British cigarette?
:hi:

Seriously, what an unclever little bigot "it" is.

2. He must. He obviously doesn't look like a bundle of sticks,
else he would have been called 'faggot.'

7. Yes, I enjoy being mocked.
I know I deserve it; that's why God put me on this planet. To be everybody else's favorite amusement toy.

15. Some people are just idiots. I don't know if they're born idiots
or if they have idiocy thrust upon them, but there's no changing them.

One can always mock them back, though.

19. I lack the physical capacity to defend myself in a fight...
Besides, I had enough of that childish namecalling nonsense back in grade school... and middle school... and high school... and college... and my 2nd job... :)

Best TO leave them alone. They don't get their jollies. Well, most of them.

4. Sorry, I don't refer to such 'people' AS people.
You can all you want.

You're either with us or against us, I think that's how it goes...

Dunno why he did.

She didn't mind; I'm sure they'll fuck like bunnies tonight. You'd think that if he really cared, he'd let me fuck her instead and prove him wrong.

6. Gawd, it would have been GREAT if you'd been able to say that:
"I'd think that if you really cared, you'd let me fuck her and prove you wrong."

I'd never have the cojones, myself. I's have to be carrying a taser or something. But yeah, that's the spirit!



:D ;) :yourock:

9. It was a client's office. Even if it was open public, I would not have.
Let the animals live their lives. The cretin reminded me why I am the way I am.

I'd be (or should be) carrying a taser too; there are people who bash and kill people based on appearances - and even my last two 'boyfriends' said I don't come across whatsoever as gay. :) For plenty of reasons, I should think...

29. I got called a "fag hag" once, but my experience was vastly
different. I was with one of my best friends, a transvestite, and we were at a club. These guys were all so sweet, they were all gay, and they told me I looked like Portia de Rossi (I was wearing this blonde fall on the top of my head- other than that, I never saw the resemblance) and called me a "fag hag".

There's a book by the same name by Robert Rodi, and it's one of the best, smartest novels I've ever read.

These fucking fucksticks, though, the ones you mentioned, are disgusting creatures. I wouldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole. What did you say or do, anyway? Or were they too busy hit-and-running away for you to have had any reaction?

:hug: :hug: :hug:

But I disagree about later tonight. It probably can't muster up even one good salute, if you catch my drift.

Well, its girlfriend giggled. Maybe she gets off on insults than by touching. I wouldn't know and I surely wouldn't ask. And even as a beginner I'd probably do a better job with her too. I've read the manuals... :spray:

3. you're not bothered though are you?
my friend Ed had some dweeb write on his fiesta 'faggot', but the asshole spelled it wrong and it came out 'figot', which we think is pronounced feegit, so now we call him Mr. Feegit and he's good with it:-) at his center, he knows who he is :thumbsup:

i don't have to tell you, people can be so dumb-ass :rofl:

5. His comment brought back a lot more memories...
Took me 2 hours, but I did get over it... for a while.

But I'm over it. Life is too short to let these stupid vermin pretend to feel like winners. The way the country is going, I can only laugh anyway. Laugh in his face.

Besides, he doesn't know I'm bi and if I don't find a decent guy I'll find a lady. Love is pleasing the other person anyway. It's just a matter of intuition and being in tune with what the other wants. Which means I have no qualms being celibate either; at least I won't get a disease.

Still, it was only a word. Other people assume peoples' sexuality... and beat them to a pulp or worse. And all of those people weren't gay...

Like a Peugeot. Either way, the guy who wrote that sounds really confused.

10. When I was in junior high school, I walked past a group of teenage girls,
and one of them pointed out to me and said to the others, "That guy's a fag!" And that's when I knew.

13. You're lucky. When one ran up to me and assaulted me, calling me 'fag',
I still didn't know.

And I do mean one "girl" (age 17, so almost an adult - in age if nothing else)...

25. People are like the weather.
We all start out as shiny Mercedes cars.

The ambient weather conditions do help determine how long the Mercedes continues to look good and how well it performs.

True, a malfunction during the manufacturing process can lead to problems. But it's the ambient environment that determines post-build success.

And a long series of rainy days with cool fog in the morning often rusts one.

Ever see a rusted Mercedes? Assuming they don't end up discarded before their time by the fickle, snobby owner?

(the analogy goes a lot farther and tangents into a number of interrelated and revelant topics... but in short, find a way - ANY way - to ensure he doesn't let any name calling rust him. Period. He'll pay for it the rest of his life and in ways he won't understand right now. Nobody did that for me. And I've overcome a lot. But I'm still second class and I ain't talking the sexuality thang...)

26. "Dude, your knuckles are dragging, and that's going to leave scars."
That's what I've had said.

And to her?

"What's it like playing laugh track to something that nobody else finds funny? I mean, look around, hon...you're like the soundtrack to a porno movie. It needs to be there, but nobody cares."

Then, I'd have taken a pile of potshots at them (depending on the number of beers I'd have had).

34. I think I'd have said:
"That's not what you said after you gave me that blow-job last week."

"And by the way sweetheart - that guy you screwed the other day said you'd better get to the clinic to get tested."


Don't let it get to you, mate - people like them just aren't worth your time. Karma has a way of coming back to bite them in the ass, and it will.........

35. Do I need to empty out my savings account,
fly up there and beat the shit out of someone.

Men don't think it's very funny when a short chick kicks them in their sack, kicks out their ankles and then stomps on their nose while spitting at them. And this same "chick" will stomp the girlfriend's ass to just because I haven't been in a good catfight for a couple of years and am itching for one right now.

Men hate looking less than "manly".

36. That was me.
Until I got myself a really hot girlfriend who needed me to show off to her freak air-quote "Christian" family but it turned out she was a lesbian and unfortunately I was a guy, so it ended very badly.

I couldn't get much lower than that, especially her mom calling me retarded and such, mostly I suppose because I hadn't miraculously converted her daughter to heterosexuality, so just a little over nineteen years ago I stopped worrying about all that and the world became a much brighter place.

Shortly after I met the love of my life.

So now I'm asking you anything, HypnoToad:

How are you doing?

37. Boo to it.
I can try and come up there and hunt it down/beat the shit out of it for you...

Some questions:

Physical description?
Size/best guess at strength?
Do you want it left merely injured or would you rather it be in need of an emergency tracheotomy in order to live?
Does it leave enough of a drool trail to be easily tracked, or will I have to look for knuckle marks on the ground?

;)

41. My old roomie used to say "I may be queer but I can still kick your ass."
He was ex-Navy, bi, covered with tats and hair, and he still got called "fag" sometimes by the local wits...

That kind of retort doesn't sound much like your style, however. You are WAY more dignified.

I have gone thru life getting shitty comments about the scar I carry on my face from a birth defect. I had to learn early that rednecks and assholes abound, and good people can be hard to find.

You are one of the good ones. Try not to carry this with you.

He'll probably go get sh*tfaced, screw his girlfriend and fall asleep five minutes later (while making her lay in the wet spot). That's how predictable those types are. :eyes:

What am I doing wrong? Hypnotoad, I'm so sorry this happened to you. I guess I've surrounded myself with gays and lesbians enough to where the "insults" don't come anymore. I'm certainly not prepared to react with any kind of force if I were to hear an insult. I really can't say what I would do if I was called something like that anymore. My smart-ass might get me into trouble with some wise-crack.

59. Oh hell, there is always something that a**holes will victimize us
over. We're too this or not enough that, and someone always has an opinion of us without even knowing who we are. I hate that word as much as I hate the N word or the C word. There is no more room on this planet for a**holes. May they be reminded of their words and deed by experiencing some bs from someone else at least three times. :hug: :hi:

My question is: How many peeps does it take to make the perfect diorama?
