joeynach Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) This is a joke. The only problem here is the gap between generations, anyone aged 12 to 30 used the word f.a.g. to refer to someone in the same manner as a jerk, idiot, dumbass, a-hole, co--sucker, loser, etc. And we all know it. My parents aged 55 know me and by friends and roomates call each other f.a.g.s all the time, now they dont use that word amongst themselves and their friends and to describe other people but we do. Im not saying right or wrong, thats just the way it us in our generation, get used to it. Sorry its not bug selig and greg couches generation, they just seem to not get it. I mean everytime someone calls someone a "BUM" is that the most offensive thing ever becuase it describes a homeless person. Gimmie a break, grow up, stop whining about words, and understand language and terms change from generation to generation.

Queen Prawn Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 (edited) Kev - I just said that to my mom in an email lol. I see it being how Peter Griffen's sensitivity training went at first (but definitely not ending up that way lol).

chisox2334 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 06/22/2006 4:29 PM ET Commissioner disciplines Ozzie Guillen for comments ADVERTISEMENT print this page | e-mail this page Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig today fined Chicago White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen an undisclosed amount and ordered him to attend sensitivity training for making offensive comments. Commissioner Selig said: "On Tuesday night, Ozzie Guillen used language that is offensive and completely unacceptable. Baseball is a social institution with responsibility to set appropriate tone and example. Conduct or language that reflects otherwise will not be tolerated. The use of slurs embarrasses the individual, the club and the game." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
