Post a picture of yourself

I'm sorry but in America gay often (and in my case all the time) means stupid. A gay couple means you like the same sex. And don't start with me about being racist because I am a HUGE activist for Pro-choice, Pro-love, and I don't care if you are white, black, orange or purple on the inside you are the same as me. I would really appreciate if you guys would stop jumping on my case. Its getting really old.

originally gay has also the meaning of jolly or merry, and is not connected to homosexuality at all.

------
William Shakespeare, Titus Andronicus: Act II, Scene ii
TITUS :
The hunt is up, the morn is bright and gay,
The fields are fragrant, and the woods are green.
-------

or a bit closer to our times:
-------
[...]
When you're with the Flintstones
you'll have a yabba dabba doo time.
A dabba doo time.
You'll have a gay old time.
-------

and this is what BBC says regarding the use of "gay" and homophobicity:

but now let us end this debate.

WAIT! I don't think this debate is over! I just reread his post. I am VERY educated! And I live in a HUGE city! And why is it okay to post racist comments anywhere? Homosexual is the correct term. Gay is used in SO many different ways! I didn't direct an insult at anyone. But for YOU to call ME uneducated is a problem. I am a VERY smart person. And I am VERY good at what I do. If you EVER feel the need to insult me again. Take it to a pm.

Take it to a pm. And why are you so bent on the term "gay" anyway. Are you homosexual?

and this again now is you attacking him!

so please, lets get back to images in this thread

.. you can PM and if you both stay polite and forget about the big ego (which we all have) for a while, I am sure you will find some agreement.

Using the word 'gay' to mean 'dumb' or 'stupid' is extremely derogatory, and will not be tolderated on this site.

Just imagine it if people started to use the word 'girl' or 'woman' to mean stupid?? Would you not find that offensive?

Ironflatline was on the spot almost entirely with his post, other than, it's not just in cities in which it's not acceptable....it's not acceptable at all. Keep it on your myspace page if you wish, but it IS biggotry, and it will NOT be spewed on this forum.

Now, NO MORE OF THIS in this thread...use the thread for what it was intended from here on out.

ok, that one came out much better

(referring to the picture!

ilyfel · Nov 17, 2007

Yeah.. Thanks. I hate my dog sometimes. LOL she never wants to take pics w/ me!!! and anyone else notice that her eyes look messed up?

memento · Nov 17, 2007

ilyfel, we don't care about your dog,, could you maybe post a better shot of your boobs.. thanks!!

Speaking from a moderator's point of view, memento, I would much (!) prefer ilyfel did NOT post more photos of her boobs, and if you want to look at them, why not go meet in HerSpace or so, that is where all those photos of the MySpace-residentes float about, and that is a good place for them. The internet offers so many places for about everything, why not make use of it? I for my part meanwhile KNOW what ilyfel looks like, I need no other pic of her so I can "put a face to a name".

I'm just joking around.. I just got really offended at that guys replies. Do you really know how many threads on here that kids shouldn't see.

I mean there should be an age requirement.

not trying to parade on your fun but um...you still look like a kid yourself :er:

This thread has gotten way too AOL Chatroom. I know it's fun in certain age brackets and parts of the US to refer to things as "gay" but to educated people and in big cities this isn't acceptable. Please keep misogynist or racist comments to your MySpace page.

amen to that...lets get back to photography?
