I like how while condoning the use of derogatory terms about homosexuals we can just insult a whole different swathe of people.

First off, did I say I was condoning anything? I thought I was doing the opposite.

Also, I was posting a (lightly) supported opinion on the maturity of American high school students.

To clarify my stance, I have nothing against gay people, but I do have something against a rampant lack of maturity. For specific examples, see "random humor," the need for GSAs, high school cliques, liberal use of homosexual epithets to deride others, and the heavy emphasis of high school sports over more artistic endeavors, often resulting in such lovely terms as "band queer" and actions such as potatoes being thrown at the marching band whenever they got in range (hint, people have NO idea how much it costs to clean those uniforms :shifty.

Condoning maybe not. But you did say 'retarded' which is a derogatory term particularly for peoples with intellectual disabilities. It's a slang trend of oppression against various groups, like 'faggot' and 'slut.'
