Maybe you haven't been to a grocery store in years, but there's usually a pretty even split between guys and girls.

Not a huge deal, I guess. It's more the way you phrased it. Your comment seemed straight out of 50 years ago.

I don't know about that. I would put it at 80/20 girls but I live in an immigrant part of the city...

Down in the SW it seems to be a little more even. Lots of couples, too.

I must be ultra gay because I go to the store almost every night.

So do I. I actually go to the store without having any reason to. I'll walk into Sobeys and not even know why I walked in. I just like grocery shopping.

When in doubt, just get bread

I enjoy grocery shopping too. I go every couple of days for a few things, or if me and the lady-boy want to cook something we'll go together and get the items. The only time I'll go for a big load (wink wink) is early to Costco.

I hate grocery shopping more than almost anything. Also hate cooking.

Throw me on the list of guys who do, and enjoy, the shopping as well.

My wife is out of town often, so that's one reason. The other is I enjoy the escape and enjoy shopping. I also have a weird ability to purchase a few dozen items at a time and remember exactly what each will cost before the cashier rings it through. Like, down to the exact penny.

I despise large crowds while shopping, and try to avoid places during nights and weekends, but otherwise quite enjoy grocery shopping.

Also...how the fata is the word "fag" not ###'d out?

I just think it's extremely sad and ignorant that that such a hostile term is allowed and used on here.
And yeah...people could be talking about a cigarette...but they're not.

How dare you describe something as "fag'd" out. Grow up.

It usually depends on how it's being used. The mods are all over it if someone is being serious in how they use it.

If you see who's using it in this thread, it's a bunch of posters who like grocery shopping and are mocking a "manly man" who's suggesting it's a lady thing to do, which is straight of the 40'/50's.

[MrMastodonFarm]

Context, JonDuke. Context.

fotze wasn't using it seriously. As a gay man he's allowed to use that word.

Twat is in a thread title......

[jayswin]

lol, remember the stickied travel thread?

It always looks so lonely up there, greyed out cause nothing's been posted there in months, as it looks down at active travel threads in the off topic forums and screams out "Those are supposed to be MINE!!!!!".

[jayswin]

Wait, did anyone else notice that JonDuke thanked 4X4's post where he said "I must be an ultra fag, then"?

Well I hope you're happy now.

[JonDuke]

I meant nothing against Fotze at all. Should have clarified that. I lol at his stuff all the time.
I've seen the word posted other times too, and by other posters.
And in the context of all posts, there was no harm intended in any of them. I get that.

But it's still a word that has absolutely no value or use in our vocabulary. There's no "nice" way to say fag. It's a hateful word and the use of it hurts and negatively impacts a lot of people.

I'm generalizing here, but am guessing you couldn't walk up to most gay people and convince them that, no matter what the context was, that your use of "fag" was harmless and therefore appropriate to use.

Just wondering why the word isn't censored and why it has any place on here, context or not.
And now I feel old and all parental-ish
