It Can Happen only in Texas.

May I ask Mr. Porter - why in the hell is he so stuck on the idea of sodomy???
He is overly preoccupied with it. So, what does that tell us about him?
Uh-huh.

SirJosephPorter, you either did not read or chose to ugnore my post wherein I stated that by and large, you Canadian liberals are not quite as despicable as American liberals (or something to that effect).

Mind you, despicable as American liberals are, none of them, ever, wished me dead, and/or suggested method such as the guillotine or the electric chair or the nuclear bomb to shut me up.

I necer wished any of my antagonists any of the fate they wished upon me. And therein lies the difference between a decent conservative and a despicable liberal.

 

[YukonJack]

Tyr, in your infinite wisdom you spewed:

"Just as I thought. A masochist through and through."

Masochist, because I gather information from all sources?

Better than a sadist like you, who inflict pain on everyone who reads your inane posts.

 

[Spade]

Ahhh, Yukon. You misunderestimated us. We were suggesting what you might use as your avatar - the symbol you use to represent your aethereal presence. i use a picture of a card - a spade. So, the guillotine, chair, or "fat boy" might visually announce your presence on these forums.

I am hurt.

Unclepercy, what that tells you is that I am sticking to the subject of the thread (which is about the pathetic condition of gay rights in Texas).

The thread is very much about Texas (hence the title of the thread ‘Anything Can Happen in Texas’). Since one of the things Texas is famous for is its (now defunct, though through no fault of Texas government) sodomy law, it is hardly surprising that it features prominently in the discussion here.

My experience is that when people don’t have anything significant to say about an issue, when they have ran out of arguments, they resort to questioning the motives of their adversary. I remember on another forum one poster (whom I think I bested in the argument) wondered why I was so passionate about women’s rights.

What that tells me is you both hate to let someone else have the last word ... no matter how obsessive the both of you be.

You may have something there, lone wolf. There, I had the last word.

SirJoseph Porter opinied:

"I must say Tyr, considering how unhappy Yukon was with liberals over at canada.com forum, it is surprising that he signed up here. He must have looked at the forum before signing up, and he must have realized that most of the crowd which was thorn in the flesh for him over at canada.com has signed up here."

Actually, I am a well adjusted happy fellow, quite happy with my lot in life, content with my views of the world and happy to declare that I could not care less what worthless jerks who could not hold my jock-straps call me. And they do, because they have nothiong of substance on their side.

But for a daily balance, I feel I should have to take a reasonable amount of vitriol, poison and hate portioned out in generous doses by the ever-so-tolerant left side. You know who you are here, and who you were on canada.com.

What could be more partriotic Canadian than bash the United States? Whichever re-incarnation, SirJosephPorter or SirRupertMurgartroyd, this character is the most virulent anti-American with bthe most phoney excuse of not being one.

And Tyr is right along, albeit with a much smaller IQ.

I assume that goes for prejudice and bigotry as well. I do know they practice death penalty on a big scale in Texas (I think Texas executes more criminals than any other state in USA).

Yukon Jack, this doesn’t make sense.

Besides I am not anti-American. I have lived in USA for seven years; I have visited USA many times (this summer we are going to Yellowstone). We have friends and relatives in USA.

No way am I anti-American. But I am a liberal (liberal, left of centre by Canadian standards, which probably makes me a dangerous ultra left wing radical by American standards) and Americans tend to be by and large conservative (at least by Canadian standard). So I do have a difference of opinion with Americans.

I hardly think sodomy is the primary feature of being gay. It is a lifestyle far more complex than sodomy. The fact that you have focused your attention on that one aspect raises questions about your objectivity and knowledge base. Get off of it. And while you are at it, get off Texas - or I'll have to jerk a knot in yer tail. :bounce::bounce: Stick it out here.

MissAnnika, your comment reminds me of a joke.

Seems that the wife of this Texan had a baby. He brags to his cohorts: "Mah wahf jist had a baby! 20 pounds!"

"Twenty pounds?!" Exclaimed of of his cohorts, to which this old boy replied: "yeah, everthin's big in Texas!"

Week later they meet again. "How's the baby?" goes the query. "Baby's jest fahn, 30 pounds now, everthin's big in Texas!"

Another week goes by. Friends meet. "How's the Baby?' friends ask.

"Babys jest fahn! Twenty pounds!!"

"Twenty pounds? He was thirty pounds last week!"

"Well, we had him circumcised! Everythin's big in Texas!!"

 

[YukonJack]

SirJosephPorter, you never miss an opportunity to ridicule Americans, as individuals, as a country, as a political system, as a culture and you never miss an opportunity to declare that everything American is bad and everything Canadian is good.

Just look at your initial post(s). "Only in America.." "Only in Texas.." etc. You know fully well what I mean.

I stand by my contention that you are indeed anti-American. That is no less valid than you accusing me of being racist and a bigot, which you did repeatedly in a previous forum.

 

[YukonJack]

SirJosephPorter, please read your post #30.

Still claim you're not anti-American?

You are entitled to your opinion Yukon Jack. However, I have my opinions.

SirJosephPorter, please read your post #30.

Yes, I do. I don’t see anything anti-American in that post. Anyway, it was good of you to go back and read all my posts diligently.

I hardly think sodomy is the primary feature of being gay. It is a lifestyle far more complex than sodomy.

Unclepercy, sodomy is the main, integral feature of male homosexuality (though I assume that under the law, a man and a woman could be charged for participating in sodomy). Incidentally, that reminds me, when I lived in Britain (1978 – 1986), sodomy (they call it buggery over there) was illegal, though of course, nobody was ever charged under the law (at least not in recent memory).

Traditionally, conservatives have had a much greater problem with male homosexuality than with female homosexuality (though lesbianism is a much greater threat to the traditional family that male homosexuality). I don’t know the reason for that. Perhaps women are considered virginal, pure, innocent etc., and in the old days it didn’t even occur to the lawmakers that women could participate in such ‘deviant’ practices.

So yes, homosexuality is more than sodomy. However, when they outlawed sodomy in old days, it was clear what the thinking was, it was to make homosexuality illegal.

Texas Governor Rick Perry Vetoes Equal Pay Bill




The decision to veto places Perry in a vulnerable position against progressive critics who have, rather successfully, situated him and his Republican peers in their "war on women" narrative, which asserts that GOP politicians use their power to marginalize and disempower women. Perry and his staff have worked hard to counter this narrative, as evidenced by a glowing New York Times profile from January that highlights the plurality of women on his staff. (Perry's chief of staff until February was female — a feat yet to be matched by Democratic President Barack Obama, who signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act on his ninth day of office but has hired only white men to fill the White House Chief of Staff.) Nor will Perry's veto rally his fellow Republicans, many of whom believe the pay gap between men and women is a myth invented to unfairly cast Republicans as sexist. After all, Perry did not go out of his way to attack the bill's basic premise.

Indeed, the governor seems to have focused his energy elsewhere: on the same day he vetoed the wage discrimination bill Perry signed another bill mandating that certain Texans seeking unemployment benefits be tested for illegal drugs.
