When I learned about the whole affect stable vs affect intense thing I definitely found I fell closer to the former end of the spectrum, and I do feel like it's kind of stupid when people let words offend them. But it is SO not worth hurting someones feelings just so you can use the vocabulary you favor. I hate making people feel uncomfortable. That being said, people shouldn't be jerks about what you say either, because that can be just as inconsiderate.
@EquitasInvictus: Hmm well I don't mind that sort of stuff, unless its with kids. How related is it to the earlier series? I heard it starred the main characters little sisters instead, and if the whole cast is different I dont want to watch it quite yet.
It's really a shame to see so many of you guys are so wrapped up in your parties mindset that you aren't even looking at the other candidate for any reason other than to criticize. It's like you knew who you were voting for before you ever even knew their names. The idea that conservatives or liberals or whoever are evil, actually evil, the phrase we use to describe rapists, murderers, and dictators, just because they don't share the same opinions as you is one of the most asinine assertions I've seen anybody make.
denying rights to people because they love someone of the same gender isn't really a thing a good person would do (not that all republicans do that, but the modern republican party is such that no one would admit to thinking that's a good idea except log cabin republicans)
Sure, it's pretty shitty in a lot of ways, but it's not evil. The things I mentioned before are evil, lets just try and have a little perspective. Besides, social issues shouldn't be so wrapped up in party affiliation anyways, believing in low taxes or big government has nothing to do with abortion, or gay marriage, and so being a conservative doesn't mean you're a homophobe, and being a liberal doesn't mean you're a baby killer.
