17. you are missing the point.

Edited on Thu May-26-11 03:43 PM by provis99

The point is that the context of the word itself matters at least as much as the word.

For example, if I called you a liberal, you might think that is nice. But if a freeper calls you a liberal, he has just insulted you. Likewise, if I called you a freeper, you would be insulted. If I went to a right-wing website and called someone a freeper, they might say "Thanks".
