words...

so, people ask me why i don't like certain words. the c-word, or the n-word, or whatever.
i think that its simple.
the use of the words is demeaning.

not to women, or blacks, or whomever. to *ME*

if i use words that i hate, then i am saying that i hate the object of the adjective. i am saying that i am so ignorant that i can only use a word like that as an adjective, and am too stupid (or lazy, or ignorant) to use better words, with more subtle and accurate connotations.
i am also saying that i won't use words that i, at least, consider hate words.
hate words are words that if used, can constitute a hate crime. (some examples are: cunt, nigger, faggot, spic, kike, chink. there are more).
this isn't self-censorship because i am PC - i call myself half indian, not half native-american. this is self-censorship because there are places, inside me, where i don't want to go.

so fuck off, i will continue to not use these words. freedom of expression also means the freedom to NOT USE a word, you self-serving supercilious twit.

and no, i will *NOT* define supercilious for you.
