hatred.

There is just something I would like to talk about that bothers me quite a bit. I really hate it when people use the word "faggot". Honestly, it makes me so mad. It might be one of the top words i will not tolerate. Today at work someone said it and I asked them not to after but they kept saying it and I got really upset with them. I realized today how much I really hate it. It is incredibly rude, disrespectful, offensive and hurtful. Specially when someone uses it against someone who is gay. It infuriates me. Its a terrible word and I can't believe people can say it without even thinking twice. People that can just say things like that and not care.. make me think twice about them. I'm seriously so upset right now just thinking about it. After the incident at work, I was in a terrible mood. Terrible. I don't really think people understand what it is they're saying and how much it can hurt someone. It bothers me so much. I find it very sad how words like these, that are rude and hurtful, have become such a normal part of a person's vocabulary. It sickens me. Why is that? Why is it that people have no problem saying such discusting words? This among many others, of course. Racial slurs, rude words, name calling etc etc. What is wrong with people? Its like second nature for people to say offensive things, if you know what I mean. Its horrible. Another example would be calling someone fat. This is another problem. You seriously have no idea how that makes a person feel. It makes me mad even when people say the word "fat". SO MAD. Unless you are describing an object of some sort. Don't EVER use that word to describe a person. Its incredibly hurtful. Honestly, I just want to punch the person that says that to someone. Its so mean. Its judgemental and rude. Who do you think you are? Bodies come in millions of different shapes and sizes, because yours looks different than someone else's gives you NO right to judge them or be cruel. Its the same the other way around too. If someone is super skinny, heavier people have no right to make fun of them for that either. I feel like it happens more with skinnier people calling heavier people fat though. Either way, its rude & it hurts. Trust me, it hurts. Don't describe someone like that.. Even if they aren't around to hear it. Racial slurs need to stop, also. What kin of world do we live in where we can't accept differences. I know how that sounds, there's a millions different ways that people are different; culture, race, size, gender, sexuality, values etc. But what I'm talking about is race. I can't stand hearing someone use the "n" word. It makes me just as mad as when people say "faggot". Why must people describe others in that manner..? If you can call other people of your race by their name or whatever you call them by (because obviously you aren't racist to your own race), why is it SO hard to talk to someone from a different race the same? They are people. We are ALL PEOPLE. People, people, people. You get it? Drop the stereotypes of terrorists, or gangsters or whatever other kinds there are. Just stop, please. This is 2010 and its still happening? Why? Seriously ask yourself that. I bet you can't come up with an answer. Why do people use racist comments, why do we make stereotypes, why do we treat people different just because they have a different race. And don't give me some answer like "blah blah people are stupid". Well, yeah that goes without saying. But how about you try to think of an answer that makes sense. There is no reason to be judging someone because of the colour of their skin, or their accent, or their religion, or their country, or their values. NONE. So why? Why does it happen? Why are people called faggots, or fat, or too skinny, or some racial slur? I'd like to know because I can't possibly see a reason for it. Really, it makes me feel discusted, angry, and upset to be a "human" when this is what we've made ourselves into. If you are one of the people that does these things, don't even bother talking to me.
