So I was thinking about things that people say to each other today. Some of the things I thought of included:
<ul>
<li>How many times people use the word "gay" as an insult.
<br>
<li>How many times people tell their friends "You <u>are</u> my life" or "You <u>might</u> just be my life"
</ul>
<h1><b>Number one</b></h1>Seriously, when ever anyone calls someone a "faggot" I just get extremely angry, the sad part is that I don't say anything about it. Honestly, it's just as bad as calling someone a "nigger". It's just wrong. Homophobia is just as bad as racism, if not worse. I'm going to try to count the number of times I hear someone say "that's gay" or "you're gay" tomorrow. I know I might be taking myself a bit too seriously, but c'mon... think about it. How are we, as a society, ever going to accept other people for who they are, if we keep using homophobic language. I can take the joke as well as the next guy,but I'm just pointing out how much of a problem this <b>really</b> is.
<h1><b>Number two</b></h1>What is "You're my life" even suppose to mean? I mean, is that like a way of expressing you're passion for another person? If so, I think it's just stupid. Look, I have too many <u>good</u> and <u>special</u> friends that I'm very close to that say this <b>all the time</b> and I love them, but honestly, it's extremely annoying. It's not that I have a problem with it like I do with calling people "gay"... It's just that it annoys me and it's a trendy saying that's starting to get out of hand.
Eh, whatever.
I'm just ranting now so I'll stop with that.
