So now you openly contradict yourself within two sentences!

You advocate violence on anyone who doesn't share your opinions on homosexuality?

Is this the kind of "love and acceptance" you meant when you said you would prefer that your child be raised by two homosexuals because:

"At least homosexuals would teach children about love and acceptance"??

Would you like some more rope?

Indeed Grace.

Now we are seeing what the homosexual activists mean when they preach "tolerance" - they demand it from other people but don't practice it themselves.

I don't necessarily agree with what you said, but "critical analysis of a house brick" was funny.
Do you give thanks for funny posts or just helpful ones? I need to brush up on my "Thank" etiquette.

Well, does that make you any brighter than a 5-watt light bulb?

You misunderstand me. Do you think it would be acceptable for someone to verbally abuse you, perhaps follow you down the street, taunting you about your sexuality? Something like that can hurt, you know. I wouldn't blame anyone for retaliating.

Really?

Which part of

did I misunderstand??

Poor baby.

Remember

'sticks and stones may break my bones
but words can never hurt me'.

It sounds like you have violent tendencies.

I do not have violent tendancies at all. Other words can offend too, certain words offend certain minority groups - if I called a black person a 'nigger' do you think they'd just think 'Well, names can't hurt me, so I'll just walk away' or do you think they'd retaliate? My guess is the latter.

The person who addresses black people with that term usually aren't even worth my time and effort to get hostile to. Calling me "nigger" would just get questions "why" you wanna call me that. Obviously that person doesn't know me very well. Because calling me nigger will do the direct opposite of making me angry. I grew up very light skinned in the projects. I got called "white boy" and other "insults" about by light color when I was growing up WAAAY more than I have been subjected to racism as an adult. So I couldn't care less either way. I find that my smile and jovial attitude shine through much brighter in most social situations than the fact that I am black.

That's why I enjoy Tristan and his "black people this and that" posts. Does he think I don't know statistics. I am constantly aware of them. I lived them. And I have done my best to make sure I am part of the "good" ones.
