Okay.

My test of a joke is...'Is it funnier than it is mean?' If I feel it is so, I'll post it.

I hope I wasn't out of line with my 'Eats Crow' joke against T-Bones. Sometimes I cross the line.

This forum is obviously chalk full of right wing middle age men in the throes of their mid life crises.

They all think gays cause tornadoes....rising gas and food prices...and are all responsible for polka music.

Whoever is responsible for polka music must be deported immediately.

Would you invite any of these people over for dinner?

 

[taxslave]

I agree with all this.

Though while you're right about the "Cis" thing, I HATE that phrase and refuse to use it.

I always thought the CIS thing to be somewhat reverse racism. Or at least derogatory.

Pretty much, but animals don’t know better

In all honesty, I think it’s the first time I’ve actually used the term, & I’ve no idea if it’s an abbreviation or what have you.

I think we as a nation should all unit regardless of our sexual orientations or whatever unimportant horseshit distracts us from the big picture. We should unite against a common cause, & I nominate “Justin Trudeau” as that cause to unite against. Do I get a second on the nomination?


How so? Let’s drop the American Southern State extremism distraction for a second & enter a couple of hypotheticals:

1) If some Teacher/Preacher/Authority Figure molests children….but only children of the opposite sex, does that make them gay (?) or just some monster Paedophile that should be fed through a wood chipper?

2) If some Teacher/Preacher/Authority Figure molests children…but only children of the same sex, does that make them gay (?) or just some monster Paedophile that should be fed through a wood chipper?

3) If some Teacher/Preacher/Authority Figure molests children…regardless of the child’s gender, does that make them gay (?) or just some monster Paedophile that should be fed through a wood chipper?

Now, either all of the above are “Yes” to verify your opinion that being gay & Paedophilism are related “closer that someone would think”…..or some of the above are “Yes” and some are “No” throwing the homosexuality & paedophilism handshake you’re advocating out the window…or all are “No” which also would toss out the handshake you’re selling.

Hypothetical #1 above is the swing vote. If you say “Yes” to all of the above, explain how you come to that conclusion with #1 please.

Attraction to someone of the same gender (& I have no idea if I’m using the correct terminology, but that’s probably unimportant for this line of thought), & attraction to children, are two separate and very different things. Being a kiddie-diddler, just like being a rapist in a same sex prison (I’m assuming) has little bearing on orientation and almost everything to do with power & opportunity.

Interesting. Now what happens if that same authority figure molests adults in all three cases? I guess we can rule out Paedophile, but is it the same monster that I wouldn't want contaminating my chipper?

Might as well try to find a "reason" for gravity or momentum.
That one is easy. If there was no gravity we would all be space cadets. If there was no momentum, Jimmy Carter would still be Prez.

Normal (noun)

1.
the usual, average, or typical state or condition.

Why am I such a bastard for saying most people aren't gay?

Are you being thick on purpose?

No one is calling you a bastard for saying most people aren't gay.

Why the parsing and splitting of hairs?

You said being gay is not normal.

But it IS normal; to the gay person.

It's not COMMON.

It's not splitting hairs, it's using the correct term to actually say what you mean.

Why is everyone running naked into the streets...screaming at the top of their lungs...and drinking their own pee...just because I stated a simple fact!

... no comment.

 

[Serryah]

Or perhaps I'm comfortable enough in my own skin, that I don't care if my affliction is viewed as not the norm.

And perhaps I simply don't need the shrieking, hysterical left to get all outraged on my behalf.

Great you have that.

Lots of people don't, especially kids.

That's part of the point of it.

 

[Serryah]

I was accused of stating that gay children shouldn't exist.

Because you implied it very well.

"Teach only what's normal."

But gay kids exist.

"Teach them about normal"

But you said gay kids 'aren't normal'...

"Teach them about what is normal."

So by teaching gay kids "what is normal", their being not normal is... bad, therefore they should not exist as a a gay kid, but as a "normal" kid...

Ergo, gay kids should not exist.

And before you go off on the amount of hoops that jumps through, has it been that long since you were a kid, was near a kid, or been around a kid who is already depressed because they're "not normal"?

What do YOU think their reaction to being told they're "not normal" is going to be? Some will fight back, sure, but remember a few years ago the spat of teen and pre-teen kids who committed suicide because they were bullied for 'not being normal'?

Yeah, it's THAT shit that has people like me stand up to the "teach them to be normal" crowd.

This is the type of nonsense I'm dealing with. How would you respond to this?

Grow a bit of compassion and empathy if you can. If you can't, admit such and walk away.

The inspiration for the popular children’s picture book “Everywhere Babies” came to author Susan Meyers more than 25 years ago, after the birth of her first grandchild. It was around Christmas, she recalls, and she kept seeing Nativity scenes everywhere — baby Jesus embraced by his doting mother, surrounded by kindly visitors. Meyers, deeply smitten with her 5-month-old grandson, was struck by the everyday, extraordinary miracle of babies in their earliest months of life, how their development touches the lives of everyone around them. So she decided to write about it.

Since its publication in 2001, “Everywhere Babies” — a whimsical, lyrical ode to infancy, illustrated by Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator Marla Frazee — has become a staple of family bookshelves, a common recommendation in new parent groups, and a celebrated title on Best Books lists.

But for the first time in its history, “Everywhere Babies” was featured this week on an entirely different kind of list: The book was among dozens of works recently banned from public school libraries in Walton County, Fla. School district officials confirmed the removal of the books to WJHG-TV in Florida. Walton County School Superintendent Russell Hughes told the outlet that it was “necessary in this moment for me to make that decision and I did it for just a welfare of all involved, including our constituents, our teachers, and our students.”

Hughes did not respond to requests for comment from The Washington Post. A spokesperson for the Florida Department of Education referred questions to Walton County, noting that “individual school districts are responsible for making these decisions,” and did not respond to follow-up questions.
The decision made Walton County the latest jurisdiction to join a growing number of communities across the country that have sought to ban books that address subjects such as race, LGBTQ people, sex or other topics deemed offensive by the books’ critics. A slew of titles — many of them classic and award-winning works of children’s and young adult literature — have been stripped from shelves in school buildings and public libraries in states including Texas, Montana, Louisiana and Florida.

Personally, I'm fed up with this thread.

Being gay is NOT normal!

Now excuse me while I go off to exercise to Richard Simmons...

In France, bidets are everywhere.

I guess in case you drop your wallet in a line-up and the guy behind you takes advantage of the situation to sniff your ass while picking it up.

Too bad the Frenchmen never heard of deodorant.

I'll have one more go at explaining this, Hoof.

Let's forget about "wokeness" and think for a second. Non-whites, LGBTQ+ people, and women often fear right-wing social and legal actions for a reason.

Not long ago, these groups were officially, legally, mandatorily discriminated against. Gays could be imprisoned until Lawrence v. Texas (2003). And I suppose you're familiar with some of the discrimination non-Whites and women have suffered. Even assuming that's all over now (it ain't), it's recent enough to be feared, especially in places like Floriduh and Texass, where book-banning, also once thought to be a thing of the past, is making a comeback.

People who weren't "normal" were subjected to various brutal mistreatment, by law and with the full backing of the power of government.

Let me bring it home to you. Do you know how schizophrenics were treated not long ago? Involuntary commitment. And something even worse. You have daughters and obviously love them very much. Involuntary sterilization for the "not normal" was once common in the U.S., and has never been outlawed. The Supreme Court UPHELD involuntary sterilization of people who weren't "normal" mentally the one time it came to the Supreme Court, Buck v. Bell (1927).

Think about that. If the political tides continue to turn against people who are "not normal," we could get back to involuntary sterilization of the mentally disabled.
