So you're not a bigot, you're just an apologist for bigots. Because calling gay people names is like, just as bad as saying the word "fuck." Because reasons.

It's about who has power, silly.

I mean, I get that you really desperately want to call people fags and for nobody to think badly of you for it because it's the same as saying "fuck."

Someone has not read their Shakespeare. Or Hemingway. Or Joyce. Or Twain. Or any biography of english speaking monarchs or presidents.

Uh, that's probably the same amount they're paying to the CEO and the two people who are immediately reporting to him, which they pay for by charging possible cancer patents several times what it cost them to produce and develop their tests.

The companies who do medical tests like this turn an insane profit. The scientists they employ do not. Companies are beyond incentive and into leeching.

What is an acceptable length of time to deny women access to healthcare screening, and scientists the ability to research it?

I guess if you have a deep seeded need to be a dick to gay people and can't see why that's worse than an occasional "fuck," you get to be that guy. Sounds like its own punishment.

If you are good with words, you can make any words powerful.

Are you unable to differentiate between racism, sexism, other assorted bigotry and just cussing?

No, no, you're good. :D

You certainly use a bigoted vernacular for someone so egalitarian. You didn't think it alone. You said it here, in public. You're the classism equivalent of the racist guy who "does not see race" and "has black friends." Just stop. There's nothing you can say or accuse me of which unrings that bell.

Naw, it was mostly tangental.

I'd make it a boundaries and life skill issue, over a morality one, to be sure.

I think mostly people take issue with:

I'd have to know more about your politics to make the call on whether it's really better.

You called them uneducated. You introduced the classist bullshit, you can't get off the hook for it by baselessly accusing me of it. Tu quoque isn't a valid argument. You aren't manipulating your way out of looking like a bigot.

Didn't you call other people low class and uneducated, as if that was an insult? Please tell me, precious, what on earth gave you the idea you could simultaneously sneer down your nose at people AND be all precious when it backfires on you? You can't play the bully and the victim. Some of the stuff you've said is…

You are absolutely right.

A big thing I urge people to consider: never talk smack about your co-workers or the people you serve for a living.
