Please vote. You can pick more than one.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong. ~Richard Armour

Depends, Ty. . .

If you are out in public - I'd say yes.

However, in the privacy of your own home (around family and friends) - then definitely not!!

Nope.

Nobody tells more gay jokes than gay people!

Of course, there's a difference between telling gay jokes and using gays as a reason to make a nasty comment.

Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

Bigotry is a social disease.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."

There are gay jokes that are funny.

The first sort are not gay bashing.

The second sort are.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this. That's why I support the Pickens Plan.

Yeah it takes a sec for the person to set up the poll
the thread gets posted THEN the maker gets set to the poll page so there is a moment where there is a gap

As an avid Family Guy and South Park fan, I have heard some pretty cruel "jokes" sprinkled over every religion, gender, orientation, and race. If the joke is funny, it's just funny.
This is my new signature.

Family Guy knows when to stop...South Park has crossed the "joke" border more times then the Illegal's crossing the Rio.
