Went wandering on the Interweb last night and found a new teacher's blog for your consideration; Tales from the Chalkface. Vinni had a link to this flurry about the use of the term gay from back in June (about the time I lost the third member of my department to ill-health and gave up sleeping as well as blogging.) His writing on the subject is very amusing.
Personally, I am in a time of transition on this issue. Much as my tolerance for pimp chic is sadly growing by the year, I regrettably no longer pursue the 'gay computer' issue with as much passion... which is sad because I think it's completely obvious that the word 'gay' (as in the sentence 'Miss, this computer is gay') means 'crap' only because there are people in our society who think that gay people are crap. It's disingenuous to say 'the word has changed it's meaning'.
If kids took to saying 'This computer's really Muslim' we wouldn't be having any of it. It's grim to note, however, how both genders play fast and loose with each other's genitals when insulting people; that battle is lost forever. (Er, please read that sentence carefully.)
As with all these things, it comes back to the effort required to take a 'zero tolerance' approach to things like this. Teachers have to pick their fights and save their precious ammunition.

Good point about the use of the word gay and what would happen if you tranposed it for muslim. Your right: sometimes it's best to lose a battle and win the war. Just found your blog and will link soon.
In biology, sex is [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/free+online+sex+clips.html]free online sex clips[/url]
a process of combining and mixing [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/arab+virgin+sex.html]arab virgin sex[/url]

in the specialization of organisms into [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/real+amateur+sex+videos.html]real amateur sex videos[/url]
a male or female variety (known as a sex). Sexual reproduction involves combining specialized cells (gametes) to form offspring [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/hard+fuck+sex.html]hard fuck sex[/url]
that [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/pregnant++positions+for+sex.html]pregnant positions for sex[/url]
inherit traits from both parents. Gametes can be identical in form and function (known as isogametes), but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/mother+son+shower+sex.html]mother son shower sex[/url]
such that two sex-specific types of gametes (heterogametes) exist: male [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/mobile+celebrity+sex+tapes.html]mobile celebrity sex tapes[/url]
gametes are small, [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/pregnant+milf+sex.html]pregnant milf sex[/url]

An organism's sex is [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/gay+college+oral+sex.html]gay college oral sex[/url]

gametes (spermatozoa, or sperm) while females produce female gametes (ova, or egg cells); individual organisms which produce both male and female [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/hardcore+gallery+sex+twilight.html]hardcore gallery sex twilight[/url]
gametes are termed hermaphroditic. Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.

Everybody[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/cute+young+nude+girls+hq+porno+pics.html]cute young nude girls hq porno pics[/url] heard rumours [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/gay+porno+pictures.html]gay porno pictures[/url] about women[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/fotos+xxx+porno+de+sexo+zoofilia.html]fotos xxx porno de sexo zoofilia[/url] faking orgasms. Is that true? The majority of women have [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/male+porno+stars.html]male porno stars[/url] faked at least one orgasm, yet some fake almost all of them. Why do they do that? There[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/asian+granny+porno.html]asian granny porno[/url] are many reasons and the case is that there's [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+italia+amateur.html]porno italia amateur[/url] no one to blame.
The most [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/fre+south+indian+porno+tube.html]fre south indian porno tube[/url] common are two [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+of+rap+stars.html]porno of rap stars[/url] reasons: they[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+indian+porno.html]free indian porno[/url] don't want to make their partners feel bad [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/adult+porno+movies.html]adult porno movies[/url] or they are tired and just want to end sex. Most females say that their partners ar[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/teens+video+porno+teen.html]teens video porno teen[/url] e not satisfied until the[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+old-young+porno.html]free old-young porno[/url] girls feels orgasm, there's only one way to make them feel happy and stop the[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/mature+fuck+sex+twat+porno.html]mature fuck sex twat porno[/url] exhausting procedure - fake.
Another [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/anime++porno.html]anime porno[/url] reason is that a[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/lipstick+lesbian+porno.html]lipstick lesbian porno[/url] typical female [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+gay+porno+clips+of+men.html]free gay porno clips of men[/url] doesn't seek for orgasm; she desires a sexual [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/direct+tv+porno.html]direct tv porno[/url] relationship only because she wants intimacy. Still, such an attitude may make her partner feel bad. [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/russian+mature+porno.html]russian mature porno[/url] The only way out is to [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/posted+homemade+porno.html]posted homemade porno[/url] fake it out.
[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+great+granny+porno+movies.html]free great granny porno movies[/url] Some women never really experience orgasm while making sex, but they want their partner to feel good about himself and her. Men usually expect women to have pleasure, that's why females have no other choice. They have to fake to have a good relationship.
Loss of interest, having sex only because the partner wants to, also makes women to fake. Most females talk to their friends about such things and while they know other women act it, they do so too, because it's an easier way to have a good relationship.
