Don't worry, I've no doubt they'll ban me soon enough. Their goal, it seems, is to turn this forum over to a population absent a chromosome or two.
I am about to start a "don't ban JSZ" thread in etc etc If you leave, I will lose one of the people I truly enjoy engaging, especially since VB is gone.
Well, first of all, it'd be hard to do both with the two sentences he posted as neither were funny so I took them on face value. Secondly, I think it's safe to let him respond to his initial intent (as I still think he was serious.)
I took them that way, you obviously did not, but who can say best except him?
What in gods name are you talking about?
I wasn't looking to argue publicly about which rights you are not allowed being an openly gay man.
You know, someone somewhere probably said the same thing about black people in the 50's? Why should they be able to drink from the same fountains and eat at the same restaurants as white people? It's not like they're being whipped, lynched, and enslaved anymore. Why are we making such a big deal out of this? They're not oppressed the way they used to be and we have bigger things to focus on right now than where they get to sit on the bus!
You don't understand how homosexuals have it so hard? Of course you don't. That's like the white person in Texas who looks on their illegal immigrant gardener, sips from a tall glass of iced tea and says, "I seriously don't understand what the hell their problem is, my life is fantastic."
Hey, I have one of those. And, if you'd like you may visit and speak with him about how much he LOVES this country and how grateful he is for what he has and the ability to even be here. Provided you speak spanish. But, I have never watched him work whilst sipping my iced tea sitting on my veranda lol.
Progress doesn't mean you get to a baseline of equality for most people and then wash your hands of it because its better than it used to be. Progress is perpetually making life better for all people, sometimes painfully small steps at a time. It's bad enough gay people have to deal with a discriminatory attitude from ignorant people throughout their lives, they shouldn't have to face discrimination in the form of a law or piece of legislation designed to discount who they are.
So, everyone who is not in support of homosexuality is ignorant? Your sexuality does not define who you are, and knowing that, there obviously cannot be laws or legislation discounting you as a person.
If you need it explained to a greater extent please say so. There's a video from Sesame Street I've been dying to link someone to that explains all of this using muppets and song.
If, for no other reason than entertainment, I would like to watch this video.
On another note, ironically enough, someone said today that Bert was to marry Ernie on a soon to air episode, what do you know about that?
