So...I get it, okay? I know you get it. I read your exchange with Baker, and I'm glad the issue got resolved. This was written more in response to the other article about blacklisting those who you disagree with, as I'm still seeing constant jabs at both Natalee Holloway and the Utah boy scout in the re
In light of certain problems people have been having with Natalee Holloway and boy scouts from Utah and being blacklisted, I'd like to address what I believe is a bigger problem that underlies the superficial things that most of us have been arguing about: The difference between having the right to say something and actually saying it. We live in a place whe
As for the Gay Games. Since there are no rules against Gay people participating in the Olympics, the "Gay Games" is at best, mediocre atheletes who aren't good enough for the Olympics. Why promote mediocrity? How would you know? Maybe its athletes unwilling to hide who they are in order to compete in th
The Negro leagues existed because African Americans weren't ALLOWED in major league baseball. I defy you to show me ONE homosexual athlete in this era who has been excluded from their sport because of their sexuality. There's NOT one. I'd suggest you look at how many homosexual athletes have come out wh
I would add that you still have both the AFA and Falwell listed on your blogs as saying spongebob is gay. I hope you don't espouse the 'Lying for Truth' thing, though I can't see any other reason to leave such up. The reason is called laziness my friend. But I shall oblige.
As long as we're doing Fight Club, I have to throw my favorite in here...in my opinion the greatest movie line ever... "I haven't been f*cked like that since grade school."
Yeah...well maybe it should be "Be prepared, because dont worry, if you get lost in the middle of Utah Mountains...dont worry....its not your fault you got lost, its not your responsiblity for your own survival...why the heck should we teach you how to do things and cover your own butt like tying knots, starting fires, building a
The key words here being "in general." Get a poll asking if people "in general" approve of the specific documented abuses and we'll be getting somewhere.
no, you misunderstood, philo...lol (but that's ok). What I was saying is that your article would have been funnier if the topic were Falwell rather than Dobson because Falwell HAD said those kind of ridiculous things (implicitly referring to the tinky winky thing). Sorry about the confusion! (BAD GID!)
Yep, I think it is just sad that you have to have a strawman to express yourself. This is twice you've ragged on boycotts you disagree with as an excuse to talk about beliefs you disagree with. Tell me where I've ragged on boycotts here. I said Jerry Falwell was sponsoring a boycott, and that the AFA p
Wait...do you believe them to be similar or not...?
How is this any different than the last confused rant? If you don't see how this is different than the last article, you should enroll in a reading comprehension course at your local community college. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quote-Table"
Actually you dont by this statement. Or you would know that well written and expressed articles do get featured. Get the chip off your shoulder. And be glad that while this site is conservative, they feature the best of both sides. So the site is conservative, but it doesn't lean a certain way? Wha
how is it selling discrimination? If anything, it's FIGHTING discrimination. The gay games, by their very nature are discriminatory. The only reason that this is being boycotted is because of the presence of gays. It is not because of suggestive dancing in nightclubs or the erosion of the institution o
It's interesting that the article you posted was featured but this wasn't. It's also interesting that this is a point that LW has made time and time again (less eloquently) and she usually metts with much praise for doing so, yet this forum is fairly quiet. I wasn't aware the article had been featured.
But calling conservatives "self-righteous" is really no better. One could just as easily argue that liberals were being self-righteous by insisting their views were the correct ones and resorting to insults and name calling while complaining about the name calling. Kinda like posting an article decrying one group for name calling
The homosexual community is, by definition, segregating themselves around their sexual preferences. My feeling about this stands. This is about "selling" homosexuality, NOT about celebrating diversity...and there's a HUGE world of difference there. And that's a valid feeling. As is mine that this boycot
Now, back to the point: Kraft and other companies are doing more than asserting support for homosexual rights. They are supporting the promotion and marketing of the homosexual lifestyle. And the people who potentially might buy their products should know this.So, to that end, I fully endorse the organizers of this boycott. <
Gay Games?!? GAY GAMES?!? Let me get it straight (pun intended): These games are organized around SEXUALITY Where do you get organized around sexuality? From the word gay in the title? Sexual orientation and sexuality are two different things. There is no "best sodomy" event.
It is refreshing to see the whackos of the right stil get under your skin. So they are just practicing their constitution right to boycott whomever they want to. I guess you are not going to follow lockstep with them? Notice no complaint about the boycott. None whatsoever. I learned my lesson the last
If you want to be a fragile little flower and call the above an attack, then you have to accept that your blog was at least as belligerant an attack on the ideals in question. Yes, ON THE IDEALS IN QUESTION. I didn't talk about you. Don't talk about me. If you wanna be defined by one ideal, I'm sorry. I
Alright, so we know Jerry Falwell, he of the raving lunacy? Good. We know the American Family Association, it of non-spongebob fame? Good. They've both lost it. Falwell I won't really elaborate on because he's pretty much lost all credibility with me after "Spongebob is gay", but long story short he wants you to boycott Kraft for sponsoring the Gay Games.
Was it me? Actually, I have kind of missed you as you have not posted a lot lately. Not you either. Never fear, I should be back more often. Secondly, I disagree with you

finally!!!! someone acknowledges I am mellowing. Yeah...a little defensive still, perhaps, but that doesn't hurt anyone.
