If you stop using every word that some ninny in California sits around thinking up reasons to be offended at (and the list grows longer and longer) then all those useful things we call words will be off limits to you.

And it's not just clinical terms these hopelessly dreary people try to fuck up and/or eradicate. Take the word gay. Gay used to be used to mean pretty much everyone who wasn't exclusively heterosexual. Why? Because when society calls a bisexual man a queer, it's not for fucking women. Gay used to be inclusive. Then some whiny shit decided it wasn't inclusive, and got a bunch of people on board to say it wasn't inclusive. Twenty years later, it's pretty much worked.

Fuck people who sit around thinking about things to get upset about. Fuck people who get more wrapped up in the words someone is using that what he is saying. Fuck people who get more wrapped up in what a person says than what he does. Oh hell, fuck people. None of them are worth the effort.

I'm now a misanthrope, unless it's a dated term.
