Hate to go on a curve ball here, do you understand (at least from a British point of view) that the word faggot is no longer widely associated with homosexuality and instead a general derogatory term used to describe any person, to take offence from this is personally absurd and seems more like an excuse to make the 'victim' sound discriminated.

Sorry I had to pick up on thag, it just irritates me how people can get offended by such terms.

And no Pidge, as I intend on apying as an officer to the British Army, piercings are prohibited and so would hinder my chances of success, and so I turn away from the idea, not that I have a problem with it
