Words are just sounds represented by symbols that people choose to give meaning to. In the UK it just means a novice or foolish person I don't see how its offensive to anybody. It's just like how fag is another term for a cigarette.
Then you won't mind your new name.
I knew you would understand.
I'm gonna wager a guess and say it's the fact that your username is "NigNog."
I don't get it either.

But perhaps you would ilke to make the argument that locking up criminals does not decrease the rate of crime.
What we would like is that kids like you don't become criminals and thus don't get locked up. You do not come out as a heterosexual man out of such a place.
That just means the justice system is doing a better job of catching and convicting people after the fact they have committed a crime while overall crime rates are dropping therefore your argument is invalid. By the way doesn't the bible teach you not to assume things about people 1: I'm not a kid. 2: Not everyone that comes out of prison magically becomes gay. Also I'm happy that you addressed at least a fraction of my argument which is more than I could say about most people such as yourself.
You are seriously claiming here that this violent game does not require you to murder? You played the entire game without ever firing a gun? Did you get stuck in the introduction and assume that was the whole game?
I'm claiming that it does not require you to murder (see also: the killing of an innocent person) and that it also does not TEACH you to murder people. I, in fact, played the game without killing anyone that did not attack me first. Which, last time I checked, is self-defense: both legal and not at all morally objectionable by any means.
Wars were fought in the name of God. Those people were murdered.

Re: Fallout 3: Another Satanic, Violent game from "Oblivion" crea
If video games are making criminals how do you explain that since the first generation of home consoles appeared in the 1970s the number of murders committed per year has decreased?
The reason why I think the church as a group is so afraid and willing to condemn video games is because you as a whole view is as a threat and are afraid of change. If this is too hard for you people to fathom consider the history of the theater. When writers starting writing plays they eventually started to take on more controversial subjects such as murder, rape, robbery, and sexuality. The Roman Catholic church at the time saw this as a threat because it portrayed sinning. So the clever bastards that they are starting saying it was the devils work, and that playwrights and actors were agents of the devil. Looking back on that now we know that's just plain silly, we all know now that Shakespeare wasn't an agent of the devil. If you all are as intelligent as I hope you are you can see the parallelism between the condemnation of theater and the condemnation of video games by the church.
Lastly before you go off and say that I'm a heathen and "unsaved trash" I want you to know something. I grew up Christian and I know all your stories and gobbledygook so don't try to take some random bible passage, which you don't fully understand, out of context and use it against me. If you want to reply to me actually address the argument at hand instead of ad hominem.
Where, exactly, do these games teach you to murder

It is a violent game, not even the creators of the game deny that, only you do.
Where did I deny that? I never said it wasn't a violent game. It even says so on the Content Rating on the back of the box.
I do, however, deny the fact that it teaches children (or anyone, really) that they should kill people.
I'll ask again: Where, exactly, do these games teach you to murder, hire prostitutes, OR do drugs?
