As a homosexual, I find any usage of the word “gay” as an insult to be incredibly homophoboic, regardless of the word’s meaning in “Internet understanding.” As a root for a new term, gay is drawn either from its earlier meaning (happy, joyful) or its more recent one (homosexual.) I doubt that, when using it as an insult, you are drawing from the first meaning. So, whether or not you MEAN homosexual, you are using a word derived from that meaning, and it can be incredibly hurtful. There are plenty of other insulting words out there, let’s not stoop to using epithets.
Originality is dead? This coming from the side who uses two-thousand year old survival documents for desert tribes as a moral arsenal, but only selectively.
Everyone supports the first amendment, but just because you CAN say something doesn’t mean you SHOULD. Do you want to hear the KKK members spouting hate near you?
Well, considering I’ve been to Iraq several times I would like to add this. I don’t give a flying fuck how sensitive someone is… If I want to say “That’s fucking gay.” I should be able to say it. Reason is simple, freedom of speech.
The only downfall is, people I fight for in America are so “whiny and sensitive” that they get offended by everything. How about, you stop seeking attention and just fucking deal with it. The word gay wasn’t directed at you, so it’s not a fucking hate crime so fucking deal with it.
Nobody told you to go to Iraq except for probably your right wing conservative parents who told you how honorable being in a war for “spreading democracy, making our nation safe” and all that other bullshit was.
Using it as an excuse for your argument is fucking lame, you piece of trash. You knew what you were getting into when you joined the army. You wanted to be a man and make something of yourself, but all you’ve made is a fucking waste of space on the internet.
Props to you!
But we’re not a “democracy” we are a functioning republic. Love how people like to forget that when they preach on about our country. PS. it isn’t original either.
Christ I wish people would actually LEARN what the hell “freedom of speech” actually means. Freedom of speech means that you may say whatever you like without fear of reprisal from governmental agencies. It does not mean that you can say whatever you like and everyone else can just deal.
If you say something and someone is offended, you still have to take responsibility for the fact that you’ve made an offensive comment.
Dude… they already know it’s offensive, Freedom of Speech constitutionally means the government can’t infringe on the right to express oneself politically or in any other regard. Freedom of speech as an action means I can say whatever I want, and it is your decision to be offended or not. Some guy, you’re an idiot. See? I offended you. I just made a free choice of my speech.
Why havent you been struck by lightning yet, you close minded, annoying, bigoted SOB?Some people have the hots for people with the same “stuff” as them. Get cused to it.
It annoys me to no end when people use the word ‘gay’ as an insulting term meaning stupid. Not because Im gay, or personally effected by homosexuality, but because I DESPISE it when people use words improperly.
Why say gay when the OP couldve said: Stupid, idiotic, mind-numbing, irrelavent, laughable, short-sighted, mindless, etcetera?
no, god can get pretty pissed, tha\ts basicall all he di back in the day. “and on the seventh day, god put his foot up adam’s ass and told him to quit being a fag and go get laid”
While you are right about the inappropriateness of using an anti-homosexual term as a generic insult, the original meaning of “gay” wasn’t _joyful_ but _carefree_ or _impetuous_.
Actually there is a new meaning derived from this word which means not to be homosexual but just to be a genuine insult due to the pejorative word itself. For instance b*stard is more offensive than calling someone a bad person. Therefore the meaning which has derived from this word is now more or less a substantial byproduct meaning the equivalent to ‘lame’.
This is one of the consiquences of keaping both rats and cats as pets, if you have them when their young the instinct gets turned of. Check out the Midlands Rat Club forum.
Oddly enough, my brother’s cat won’t bother with mice… raccoons, definitely…. anything that flies (birds, moths, etc.) definitely…
Only think I can surmise is being a Pixie Bob, if its not a challenge he won’t bother. Of note, he has a 6 ft vertical leap from sitting position, so he is quite successful at his aviary prey.
Don’t you get it? The cat’s lulled the rat into a false sense of security till the last shot where he gets him in a vice like death grip. The next shot was omitted because of all the blood and gore.
Actually… When cats cuddle something smaller than them, the press their chins against the thing that they’re cuddling. This shows security on the cat’s part, and it’s how they get comfy in small places, such as the one that they’re in in that picture.
the poor cat is probably too traumatized for being trapped in some dirty window to care about the rat. and look at the rat — sad times! its hair is falling out. maybe kitty doesn’t like the taste of tumors. ..
YEAH… definitely cute, but I think the cat is too stressed to worry about the rodent. Kind of sad that the cat was in the window long enough to actually fall asleep. It’d be real cute if they weren’t trapped in a confined space. Someone needs to be slapped for putting their car in between window panes.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA thats a stupid dog!!!!
this made me so happy.
your mum

Me too. It’s so cute

That’s your intelligent addition to this discussion? “My, this person finds a cat to be cute, therefore they must be gay.” Your logic = fail.
Weena Logic Win
Not gay as in homosexual numbnuts. Internet understanding 101 fail.

ti;dr. Dumbass.
I mean wellgood. not that other poster.
gay
cats are cute and homophobia is just ignoring the fact that you are a homosexual your self
(I’m) Gay.
Cats are all homosexual men.
Homosexual relationships are a sin
…so’s eating shrimp. I’d really love to see the world unite against those immoral shrimp.
SOMEONE’S been watching too much homosexual propaganda lately.
Been watching PROP 8 the musical?
Nice to see originality is dead.
Originality is dead? This coming from the side who uses two-thousand year old survival documents for desert tribes as a moral arsenal, but only selectively.
That’s /real/ original.
reply ftw
win
you’re face is a sin.
wow, reply fail! nice try though
if there is a hell, you’re going
I am hobophobic. Does that mean that I am actually a hobo? I am also arachnophobic. Does that make me an arachnid? You douche.
actually, homophobia is the fear of homosexuals. definition fail!
he said hobophobic, not homophobic. attention fail.
he was messing with you man, he saw a joke and took it, come on get with the program!
I imagine you’re a large supporter of the 1st Amendment.. ..y’know.. Freedom of Speech.. ….at least, until you’re offended by it.
by the way.. your comment? ..gay.
Everyone supports the first amendment, but just because you CAN say something doesn’t mean you SHOULD. Do you want to hear the KKK members spouting hate near you?

Hahahaha!!!! ANYMOUS! SOUNDS LIKE ANUS!
You’re a moron. Three cheers for you!
Nobody told you to go to Iraq except for probably your right wing conservative parents who told you how honorable being in a war for “spreading democracy, making our nation safe” and all that other bullshit was.
Using it as an excuse for your argument is fucking lame, you piece of trash. You knew what you were getting into when you joined the army. You wanted to be a man and make something of yourself, but all you’ve made is a fucking waste of space on the internet.
Are you happy with your decisions?
Props to you!
But we’re not a “democracy” we are a functioning republic. Love how people like to forget that when they preach on about our country. PS. it isn’t original either.
Actually, we say we are a republic but we have fallen into FASCISM… be happy for freedom of speech.
It might be legal to say it, but saying it still makes you a jackass.
YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! You are right.
Anymous, you’re a twit.
You weren’t fighting for me in Iraq. Those that fought in WWI & WWII were fighting for me (me being America).
And what the eff does fighting in Iraq (which I doubt you did, just using that as an excuse to be a goof), have to do with anything?
that my friend is the definition of a win. nicely done.
How we go from Pussy’s to Gays….. Fail and gay I’m out

wow… you spout some power of shit
Gay also means delightfully happy.
I think it’s great they were friends. My cats don’t hurt mice either. They just chase them and wait for me to pick them up and put them outside.
Fail. Excuse me, but that is a gerbil, not a mouse.
lmao, actually, it’s a Rat
yes. definitely rat
“As a homosexual” WTF O.o??? oh pls STFU!!!
Why havent you been struck by lightning yet, you close minded, annoying, bigoted SOB?Some people have the hots for people with the same “stuff” as them. Get cused to it.

He hasnt been struck by lightning because God thinks gay sex is a sin
God doesn’t give a shit because he isn’t there.
*Stir the pot*
god doesnt get mad god gets even
no, god can get pretty pissed, tha\ts basicall all he di back in the day. “and on the seventh day, god put his foot up adam’s ass and told him to quit being a fag and go get laid”
hahahaha love the irony of the fact that you said “effected” where it should be “affected”… idiot!
While you are right about the inappropriateness of using an anti-homosexual term as a generic insult, the original meaning of “gay” wasn’t _joyful_ but _carefree_ or _impetuous_.
FAG
Well call me incredibly homophoboic. Wow there’s a even a spell check on thing – how did you fail that???
Homosexual relationships are a sin.
But I bet you still get turned on by two women.
hmm…so is premarital and/or extra-marital sex….just sayin’
I completely agree with the idea that using “gay” to mean “stupid” or “fail” is just demeaning and derogatory.
thats why it is used…..
Anonymous, you are oversensitive if you are ‘offended’ by the word gay being used in the internet sense of ‘corny’ and ‘pathetic’.
fag — but i mean 1950’s slang for cigarette.
So go suck on a fag, fag.
fag
homosexuallity is bad, it is a sin, and an abomination.
Gay
Used to mean happy/joyful
Currently refers to homosexuals
Slowly being transformed to mean “something stupid, lame, etc”
You see to be OK with the word evolving from happy to homosexual but not to another meaning?
You fail at life.
Rtard.
Actually there is a new meaning derived from this word which means not to be homosexual but just to be a genuine insult due to the pejorative word itself. For instance b*stard is more offensive than calling someone a bad person. Therefore the meaning which has derived from this word is now more or less a substantial byproduct meaning the equivalent to ‘lame’.
agreed!
haha i’ve heard homosexuals using the term “gay”
thank you for your explanation. i agree.
Gay was a supposed to mean happy, carefree. But some how it had taken on a new meaning.
Well, to be _carefree_ is meaningfully different from being _happy_. The word “gay” originally referred to a sort of _abandon_.
you guys are all so GAY
One year later, this thread is still gay.
Whoooooo – Ha!!!! PC people are SOOO GAY!!! You all are so gay.
Even your mothers are gay.
Greets
Gaylord Focker
Wow. That is so gay that you think that cute cats are gay.
Yeah? And your name shows that you HAVEN’T apparently left your “weena” somewhere else? Like with your best friends hand?
That is so freakin cute.
Now Mr. Kitty has fleas.
The cat is eating the rat in the last one.
Yeah, kinda gives off a “NOM NOM NOM NOM” image
This is cute… not like my cat would be though!
This is one of the consiquences of keaping both rats and cats as pets, if you have them when their young the instinct gets turned of. Check out the Midlands Rat Club forum.
epic spelling FAIL. “consequences” not “consiquences” and “keeping” not “keaping” and “they’re” not “their” and “OFF” not “of”
Ha! Yeah, that was pretty painful to read.
Oddly enough, my brother’s cat won’t bother with mice… raccoons, definitely…. anything that flies (birds, moths, etc.) definitely…
Only think I can surmise is being a Pixie Bob, if its not a challenge he won’t bother. Of note, he has a 6 ft vertical leap from sitting position, so he is quite successful at his aviary prey.
thats gorgeous
lol my cats would *chomp* thats funny though
omg thats so kewl and cute
OMG!!!
what happened to itchy and scratchy?
Don’t you get it? The cat’s lulled the rat into a false sense of security till the last shot where he gets him in a vice like death grip. The next shot was omitted because of all the blood and gore.

The cat is trying to absorb the rodent through his skin in the last one
Osmosis fail!
Diffusion, surely?
That’s awesome. Our orange kitty sits and watches our pet rats like he’s watching television. Or a tennis match on TV perhaps.
Training rats to play tennis Win!
the poor cat is probably too traumatized for being trapped in some dirty window to care about the rat. and look at the rat — sad times! its hair is falling out. maybe kitty doesn’t like the taste of tumors. ..
[...] como la del gato boludo no [...]
AWESOME… AND AFTER THAT THE RAT EATES THE CAT… CRUEL WORLD

how is this a fail?
Yes, this is pretty damn cute… but you bother me somehow. I can’t quite put my finger on it…
My theory is that instead of just saying “cute” they had to say cute in japanese, but then translate it, while being an e-tard.
OMG look @ me im white but i talk lyke i’m japanese rn’t i kool? rn’t i smrter then u? dose u lyke me yet?
^ awesome ^
Regardless of the cute factor, isn’t it incredibly weird that a rat and a cat are stuck between two window panes? I think so
Whew, for a second I thought I was the only one that didn’t notice >.>
*that DID notice
YEAH… definitely cute, but I think the cat is too stressed to worry about the rodent. Kind of sad that the cat was in the window long enough to actually fall asleep. It’d be real cute if they weren’t trapped in a confined space. Someone needs to be slapped for putting their car in between window panes.
HA, HA HA, HAAAAAAAAAAAAA! FUNNY!!
