  1. It would be more convincing if you extended your defense of rights to gun owners.

    FAIR TAX would eliminate any questions of sexuality and marital status and be FAIR to people of all sexual persuasions and eliminate a lot of the discrimination against gays by eliminating income tax.

    Why would I do that Gary? I believe in the original intent of the second amendment, not the activist Heller decision. By the way Gary, as a point of correctness, it is actually FairTax, one word, not two separate words as it refers to a specific document. But I don't want to get this thread off track talking about guns, so I will digress back to the actual topic.

    Do you have any comments regarding gay rights?

  2. That's your fallacy, there have been multiple comments since you first created the "you seem" straw man! You're kicking a dead horse with your "seem to suggest."

    Ex-boyfriend took you out for dinner and paid = he needs to be seated in the front of the next Leykis 101 class.

    What strawman? You are the one who introduced 'Leykis' into this and suggested that a man who pays for a lunch out with an ex, who happens to be a close friend should take Leykis' advice. The logical disconnect here seems to be your unfamiliarity with Tom Leykis, who advocates that men who pay for women in general are idiots. Sorry, it appears some people are just far more comfortable with their roles and finances than others. Maybe you should listen to Leykis a bit more before you invoke his dogma.

  3. For most people Homosexuality is a bizarre expression of Human relations, that you would want to assign a special status to this small segment is odd yet not surprising.

    Let's be a little specific, maybe we can find common ground. What rights do you have in mind for them that they don't already have in one form or another?

    You only find it "bizarre" because of religious dogma (not exclusive to christianity). You have drawn a false conclusion about gay rights advocacy. They are not seeking special status or extra rights, they simply seek the same rights and protections that everyone else has. Since when does wanting the same protection and rights equal wanting special treatment? They do not have the right to marry, and all the legal and governmental accouterments that come with marriage.

    How would you feel if you lost your tax benefits imbued to you because of your status as married? What if (god forbid) you or your wife became ill, and were denied the ability to make decisions on behalf of your partner? How can you continue to advocate a two class society?

  4. Fixed it!

    The ability to engage the opposite sex in a conversation can be coupled with enough backbone to tell her the cost of dinner will be shared. "Maybe you should try it out sometime."

    What is wrong with paying for someone's lunch? You seem overly paranoid and seem to suggest that if a man pays for a female friends meal, that they somehow "owe" them. This seems a lot like Rush's suggestion that women who get federally subsidized contraception should post videos of them having sex to pay for it.

  5. i asked a question about your post, i viewed as being intended to belittle anothers view. an intelligent response from you would look something like this -------> yes or no. but, of course we didn't get that because your post wasn't a statement about bigotry & hatred, it was in fact a swipe at another poster....i've got 2 stupid pics dodging the question so far....can i get #3?

    Your question was disingenuous at best, hence why I called you out on your trolling. What I posted is quite clear, I asked for clarification based upon some very borderline comments from some notoriously misogynist members, and still has yet to be responded to honestly. If you misunderstood what I posted, that is your problem, but I won't indulge your trolling here. Either ask a legit question, or move on troll.

  6. Fixed it!

    Actually, you fixed nothing. Your alteration make the post grammatically incorrect, and changes the intended meaning of my post. You should study the TOS.

  7. Ah, ah ah, Need I remind you "phobia" is an -unreasonable fear.

    Disgust and ridicule are no where near Unreasonable fear.

    But just to be safe, I took the test and as I suspected, I am not Homophobic. :lol:

    Here you might want to take it yourself as the word seems to stay constantly on your mind suggesting a latent thought pattern.

    -By PBS none the less :)

    Danno, I would categorize it as an unreasonable fear. Why else would you continually support repressing the rights of gay people so that they don't have the same protections and benefits as you? I don't like social conservatives, but I would never suggest repressing their freedom, or even their religion. I believe all Americans should enjoy the same freedoms and rights. I thought you, as a conservative would support expansion of rights to all Americans, or do you not support freedom and democracy. Your version sounds much like the government of a very notorious government in history.

    Can you please show me how your disgust and ridicule, which support repressing the rights of some Americans is not unreasonable? (Preferably without using any religious text as your resource).

  8. Good question.

    The first time I heard it was when I worked with a guy and he had NPR on all day long. I wasn't into politics at the time and it just seemed gay to me but most the time I wasn't paying attention.

    At different times I will use that as my "wake-up" station on my clock radio, just to get a feel of what the middle left is focusing on.

    It was especially telling during the Obamer run for the white house.

    My tuning is irregular, at best.

    Now if only it was eye opening for the truth of the content, not for what you would perceive as a natural left bias in everything out there.

  9. Ex-boyfriend took you out for dinner and paid = he needs to be seated in the front of the next Leykis 101 class.

    Or he is an intelligent and mature guy who is able to have a conversation with someone of the opposite sex without devolving to an animal driven by pure instinct. Maybe you should try it out sometime. Have you ever seen Tom Leykis? That guy hasn't seen a woman's ####### without paying for it since he popped out of one.

  10. blind irrational hatred? :lol:

    Please. I state and back up any criticism I make.

    I can't tell if you are just being disingenuous, or if you actually believe that. So i'll just disagree. I could back up my opinions on here by saying "Cheeseburger" as my rationale and it would make as much sense as your raison d'être. In all seriousness Paul, you are quite keen to make over the top acerbic statements, with no reasoning and expect everyone knows what you mean.

  11. You all are entertaining and I truly just wanted to NOT see this person's content If the group is ok with the remarks and some are encouraged by them then it is just whatever anchors your yacht.

    Never made an accusation and dont wish to report an offense to any MOD.

    It is actually a highly intelligent person, I am sure of this by his other content... so maybe he will find his own way.

    You can block someone out, however, when they do post, there is a message that will pop up saying that someone you have blocked has posted and has a button that would allow you to view their post anyways. I had to do it a year ago, I just couldn't take Tbone's caricature act of hispanics.....

  12. you could enlighten me, since i took your statement as meaning ALL bigotry & hatred are sprung from ignorance. or keep following kip around sniffing. its your choice.

    i so missed your pics. i'm glad you're back. /sarcasm.

    Smoke, what I posted was clear, i'm not going to get sucked into your trolling on this topic. If you have something intelligent to post, then by all means I will debate it. But you're just trolling, and not doing a good job of it either.
