same old story Vampy, this story of yours is getting old. You first posted it in this VERY SAME THREAD, back on 1/23/07, in this post, and I've seen you reference it elsewhere I think. What bothers me the most about it is that you (and your friend, apparently) are focusing your frustration...

Another interesting topic might be what your motivation is for being so opposed to it, and/or why you even care. Is it for attention? Is it to emphasize your "support" for the GLBT community, or your "disdain" for it? Sometimes in your posts, you appear to attempt to profess your support...

Do you EVER see this happening? Furthermore, do you think that that is what all gay people want (a world without anymore straight people)? I don't know ANY gay people that want that. Some might say that that kind of assertion is PROJECTION; ie, straight people that want a world with no more...

Wow, for once, you've said something I can agree with. :D

Not quite. While we might not know what it's like to BE straight, we know what it's SUPPOSED to be like. Society pretty much drills it into us from birth onwards. We live in a straight world. Our parents (I'm assuming) are straight. Most of our elected leaders (I'm assuming) are...

A debate in semantics. Do you think you'd be able to successfully argue that a folder named "Back of the Bus" for African-American deaf people here on this forum could mean "NO LONGER AT the Back of the Bus", rather than "STILL AT the Back of the Bus"? The location, and what it represents are...

Honestly, I don't see how "GLBT Lounge" would keep straight friends/allies away, anymore than the name ALLDEAF keeps away hearing friends/allies. I don't think the intention was ever to exclude folks, to begin with... but rather to change the original name of the folder, which some folks found...

Sounds like you're talking about Northern VA (where I live). Here, it IS very expensive, and traffic IS horrible, etc. However, the majority of the state is quite different. Williamsburg is a VERY different atmosphere than NoVA. It's cheaper, the traffic isn't nearly as bad, etc. It's a...

::sigh:: I'm sure there IS a group out there of gay people whose sole mission in life is to convert straight people. AND? So what?? Does that mean we ALL are? Do ALL white people subscribe to the beliefs of the Ku Klux Klan?? One day, you need to broaden your horizons, and learn...

Do you actually BELIEVE the garbage that you post? Firstly, raise your hand if you believe that ALL members of one group are accountable for the actions of ONE of their group. Anyone?? What idiocy is it to suggest that we view ALL straight people as serial killers become SOME straight...

Complete and utter bullshit. Gay people are NOT anti-straight, we're anti-bigotted assholes who seek to oppress us. We're NOT anti-family... if anything, we WANT to be able to have families of our own, and people like you do your damnedest to keep that from happening. What is it with...

I'll take a stab at why for SOME of us, it might be offensive. For some gay people, being in the closet was a shameful time in their lives, when they felt that they had to deny who they are/were, to fit in with society. For some gay people, the closet is viewed as the place where a lot of...

Gamer12's right, xentar. It's a futile effort to keep arguing the same points over and over and over. Many of us who have been at this for years (here and elsewhere) have perhaps come to the realization that when it comes to faith/beliefs... you're seldom going to be able to get those folks to...

1. Secular Humanism (100%) 2. Unitarian Universalism (92%) 3. Liberal Quakers (79%) 4. Theravada Buddhism (74%) 5. Nontheist (71%) 6. Neo-Pagan (67%) 7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (65%) 8. New Age (57%) 9. Taoism (54%) 10. Reform Judaism (50%)...

To be fair, though... when scientists can't 100% explain something, they admit it. Sometimes, when they think they're right, they are later proved wrong... but on the whole, it's usually measurable/quantifiable. Faith is practically the opposite. And unfortunately, it tends to be the...

With all due respect, Cheri, he's entitled to his opinion as much as you are to yours. He doesn't have to let anything go, anymore than you do. It's not fair for you to call on anyone else here to let go of what they believe, when you, yourself, would never do so. This is a debate. You...

Evolution. And I LOVED the analogy story, xentar! Top notch!

Wow, REALLY? I'm gay, and I didn't even know that! It's not a term *I* use much at all to refer to transsexuals, etc... but I didn't realize that it was offensive. Could it, perhaps, be offensive in the UK, but not here in the States?

You can ask, but it would be inappropriate for the moderators to tell you. Just as if you were banned, it would be inappropriate for the rest of us to know why, even if we might THINK we know. As for my score: 14/16 It was tough, though... some of those "gals" looked QUITE convincing...
