If you use gay as a synonym for stupid, people may be offended, but that's because it's using a proper term for someone's sexual orientation as an insult. If you use gay properly, no one will get offended.
I like to look at it like Dumbledore did, choices over abilities. Hermione had the smarts for Ravenclaw without a doubt, but she valued bravery more than she did learning. I think that's why she got Gryffindor.
In HBP after Ron gets poisoned, Hagrid and Harry are talking in the corridor. Hagrid says he heard Snape and Dumbledore arguing by the lake, that Snape said something about not wanting to do it anymore. That was one of the memories in the DH chapter "A Prince's Tale."
I think the right age to get a phone is once a kid enters junior high/middle school. Sure, smart phones aren't necessary, especially not for a kid who's nine or so, but outlawing them is a foolish idea.
Dude, I'm gay. Why would God have made me this way if He was just going to send me to Hell? I don't choose to be gay, just like I don't choose to have brown hair. God loves people, and He wouldn't make me live through the shitty life I have just to be sent to Hell afterwards because of how He made me.

Michael Jackson died almost three years ago, dude.
Yeah, you're an idiot.
JK Rowling doesn't like people who aren't white? Missed all the underlying racism in Twilight, I take it?
Why just female teachers? It'd be weird with a teacher of either sex.
You do know that there is no correlation between brain size and intelligence?

My school taught us that way. It's in Michigan, and I think many other schools in the Midwest do as well.
I was told to stop saying "imply" because it's too confusing.
If you call 911 and don't say anything, they can still trace the call, and they'll send someone to your home anyway.
