I guess someone needs to learn to read...
Personal attack - carries no weight in a discussion.
If you would have read the whole thing, you would have noticed this point was already discussed...
Not by me nor in my particular way - why does it bother you? You have no problem repeating your dislike for gays - like if you had read the complete thread, you would have noticed that the 'I dislike gays' has already been discussed.
"gayness is not a choice - if it were a choice why would all those Republicans keep getting caught in bathrooms and those preachers keep getting outed??
wtf??
To refresh your memory, a Senator 'wide-stance' (Senator Craig, R ) was busted in a men's room stall, Representative 'text message a page" (Representative Foley,R ) was busted for sending disgusting messages to high school students working as pages at the nations capitol. I am not suggesting that there are no Democratic gays in congress (Barney Frank comes to mind) it is just that they are open about who they are and thus no one is surprised. If it was a choice, I am sure they would have chosen to remain faithful to their wives. The other was a reference to Ted Haggard and Lonnie Frisbee - both were televangelists who were caught in same-sex relationships, both were 'prayed straight' but it did not take.
i insist... if you will comment on a thread, you should read the whole thing first... ok?
You insist? Thread cop, hunh. When I reply to a thread, I open it and keep it open until I am satisfied with what I am saying -- I am trying to be a thoughtful poster and I think about what I post, I go do other things and I come back. I click preview post, look for errors, try to clean up personal attacks and stick to discussion; I change my phrasing, flip to google to check my facts, walk away and think some more; when I am satisfied with my post I post it. I really don't give
[strikethrough]a rat's patootie[/strikethrough] <<sorry, I still haven't figured out how to insert strike-through diacriticals, sigh>> much concern to how you personally feel about my posts unless you actually have a cogent argument to present
I already corrected myself... i underestimated the value of the word hate around here... so i already stated... i don't hate gays... i dislike them
When someone states "I hate all... I hate everything about... I hate...." they don't leave a lot of room for dislike. How could you think repeating the word hate multiple times in reference to gays could be taken in any other way but hate. Hate speech is considered a crime when connected with physical violence because hate speech is different from other speech. I do not think you were suggesting violence but someone who thinks "I hate broccoli" is even slightly close to "I hate gays" does not understand language as well as they should.
