I'm believing the Gay couple. READ their response and see who you think would be credible.

They admit that they told the couple "They don't like f*gs" and defend that as appropriate. Their hatred is obvious.

Tom, why do you use the word hatred in these situations? In fact, just about all liberals use that word and you're really misusing it. I've only hated two people in my entire life and I can say that because if I could I would have caused them immense pain and possibly even death and I (at the time) would have enjoyed it and I came close to actually following through with it both times but failed. One time I even bought a plane ticket and looked up sporting good stores in the area where I could buy a baseball bat. Now that's hate. Not wanting to be in the same room with someone is a choice one makes based on preference, it's not hate.

No, I'm sorry, but using the term f(g combined with the discriminatory policies is pretty much 'case closed' on hatred of Gays there.

Tom, I disagree. A name is just a name. If someone uses the phrase "white trash" are they full of hate? Or how about "cracker?"

The vitriol behind the name is what would be full of hate. Intent can be strong without action.

So I can use the N word if I say it politely.

So now what you're saying is it's okay to use the F word against gays, but not the N word against Blacks, even though they both have a strong history of hate.

Your double standards never get old.

Where did I say it's OK to use either? Better yet, show me a post where I used any of those words. The real double standard is that blacks can use words us crackers can't and you libs look the other way or outright defend it. Where's that separate but equal argument you always spout off about?

You implied that fag is fine to say.

You then compare it to the N word, when told about the vitriol behind the words.

You imply that, despite the history of hate behind the word "fag", it's okay to say.

Edit: I hate when Blacks call Whites "crackers". It's ******* obnoxious. I certainly don't defend it.

Cloudy subject. I think words have power, especially when backed with malice. Context is everything. I have never been a supporter of "ban all bad words and all people are bad if they use them". That is nonsense.

I do NOT think that the typical user of the F word or N word is using it with fondness. I do NOT think the restaurant worker was using it with zero malice behind it.

Shrug. You can use the n word all you want but if I hear you and think you're using it in a derogatory fashion I'll call you out.
