Joe Rogan on retiring the word "faggot"

Joe Rogan has had one strange childhood....

The problem is oversensitivity, it is what makes words like "faggot" powerful. However, now it is too late, the word should no longer be used by anyone, regardless of context.

I'll occasionally say things like: "oh my God", or "Jesus Christ". It doesn't mean that believe in either, being that I'm an atheist; it is not the words themselves that matter, but the underlying meaning. Some words are emphasis words, thrown into a sentence like a verbal explanation point. A lot of people use the n-word in the same way (even though it is tasteless to do so, given the words history). I feel that words that have double meanings shouldn't be use as insults, they may offend the wrong person. The moral of the story is to be creative when insulting people, don't resort to hateful words like "faggot" or the "n-word".
