I’m sorry for those times i’ve offended you.

In particular, any insensitive use of the word “retarded”. When I say “queer”, i’m referring to the denotative meaning, as “strange”. If i say “gay”, i’m probably referring to homosexuality, which i believe is the accepted term amongst the community. I will NEVER use the “n-word” (unless, as a quote from another text and even then it can probably be avoided), and I try to never use words like “cunt”, or “bitch”. It’s simply unbecoming. One could argue the list goes on: “Drunk”, “dope-head”, “fat”, “bum”, etc.

Hey, at least i’m trying, people. At least, I’m conscious of these things, and I admit I have faults. Nobody’s perfect. I don’t want to hurt you. I don’t want you to feel hurt. I don’t want you to hurt me, in the same manner.

I’m old. The younger generations understand these things with a deeper sensitivity, and sensibility. We must learn from them.
