Teabaggers [modified]
-
One thing I found interesting was in a rant about name-calling, you used an insulting and demeaning version of the Tea Party's name - even though the movement is named after one of the first exhibition of an American National Patriotism. Enlighten me: how exactly is this OK when you objected so strongly to my pointing out that the reason "bugger" has become an euphemism for anal sex was that the Brits decided that ass-fucking was the Bulgarian national pastime? Or is it different when you do it???

That and direct references to group efforts of the tea party as tea bagging nearly killed me. Knowing that at least a few of the people doing it were someone's grand parents and trying to spare some poor grandchild a good scaring I did enlighten a few of them myself. Once I got over the laughing fits.

Actually I formulated a disliking for Michele Bachmann long before I knew what her incompetent "pray-away-the-gay" quack husband did for a living. Homosexuality cannot be 'cured', and I could post many scientific journal articles supporting this, but that would be a waste of my time considering how intellectually lazy you are.

OK then, tell me what I am missing out on not being in such a privileged position as you are. Are there intelligent things Michele Bachmann says that miraculously never leave your country? Or do you have to be a pompous Randroid before they sound reasonable?

No, she has nothing intelligent to add to our political discourse.

Without a doubt.

Or the soldiers, whi were there already, seeing as how it was British territory, were protecting the tea from smugglers whose intent was to destroy it because the tax on it had been reduced by the British govt in oreder to compete with the smuggled tea.

Do you think he has succeeded? Do you therefore think it is a disease?

Two issues, age is not a barrier to understanding and secondly we have access abroad to US media. (In fact there is a lot of US politics in the UK media, as well as a lot of US stuff on TV giving a generally wide familarity with US for those interested).

pussy. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I would welcome your pointing me to the study that proves that there is a gay gene. (I'm sure that an awful lot of parents would love to be able to test for gayness in the womb in order to rectify the error before it's too late.) Here's a clue: Researchers in this field, those without an agenda, believe that we are born just plain sexual - not homo or hetero. How our sex drive is channeled is a function of nurture at least as much as nature, except in very rare instances of some kind of endocrine malfunction where physiologically the subject is, in the vernacular, a chick with a dick or a stud with no pud.

Why should I waste my time introducing you to CP? You aren't a programmer, you make no contribution to any forum except those where you post your far-left rants, and if you were are all interested in making a contribution to this site or actually being a member of the community, you'd know what I was talking about.

Please point out where I said that there's a gay gene. Go on.

That whole statement reeks of you failing genetics.

Wow, you must be, like, a scientist or something. :rolleyes: Homosexuality has a genetic component. That is almost certain. Having older brothers increases the likelihood of homosexuality. There are innumerable factors contributing to it, but if there's one thing that history has shown, it's that it cannot be 'cured'.

Don't be silly. My best friend, and business partner for 7 years was queer. In my youth (when I was only 10 years older than you) I worked as a lighting designer for musical theatre and ballet companies where the vast majority of my co-workers were queer and some were queens. I had a long-term relationship with a woman who was bisexual. If I had a problem with homosexuality, I would have never applied for the job or lasted in it. For all you know, I walk down both sides of the street. It's whiny little boys who make up stories that I disdain. By the way, the reason I deleted my other post was because I can and should do better. I'll let you have the last whine. Bye.

Lemme guess: it took him seven years to finally work up the courage to come out to you. Don't think I didn't notice you ignoring the scientific literature I cited.

The expression of homosexuality is diverse and multifactorial and is determined by genetics, influences in the womb, cultural, and environmental factors. Your little attempt to poison the well with your arrogant supposition that anyone who would dare to disagree with your opinion must have an "agenda" is duly noted.

Subject closed[^] The American Teabaggers have gotten in the habit of comparing Obama to to Hitler and are often seen carrying signs depicting the President's face with a little mustache on his upper lip. Like Hitler, Obama is an eloquent public speaker. Clearly the ability to articulate in public equates one with the murderer of 6 million Jews and the general personification of evil. You know who else was a great public speaker? Steve Allen. Or should I say "Steve Hitler." So was that guy you saw give a great toast at a wedding. I bet you didn't realize you were listening to Hitler. :-D

5, not for the example you chose (not that there's anything wrong with that), but for the link to the site. I had never heard of it. The randomly chosen Axl Rose page made me laugh and it's bookmarked for future browsing when I have time. :thumbsup:
