My stance: full human equality in all social aspects.

I don't think people will stop using gay as an insult. Some people still use nigger, and we are past the slave age.

Some people just say that's so gay because it sounds cool to them. they don't even stop to think they may be implying something else. Or if they do, it became a habit. Like saying "oh my God," or using God's name in vein. that offends me, but sometimes I think, well, they don't really mean it. but then again, why did they say it? for extra emphasis, to prove a point. Yeah.

But I believe there really can't be equality on how people feel about eachother. Because if you are free to say what you like, others can be hurt by other's sayings therefore, it's not really equal. If that makes any sense to you. I know what I mean but sometimes I can't get it down in words.

i totally agree with you. just because they are like that, it shouldnt mean that they should be shunned by the world or anything. and i dont get why some people treat them like if you touch them they will die. thats just retarted. and i really hate it when people treat gay people like they have some disease like HIVs or something. im not gay or anything, its just that im my religion we dont believe in gay marriages. i just think that gay people should be treated the same as everyone else. i mean, they have as much right to live on this earth as we do!

(( I thought of Family guy too, please don't shoot >w< ))

I agree fully. My biggest pet peeve though, is Black Americans who honestly feel that they have superiority to White Americans. I can't stand when I hear them use the N word and say it's bad for anyone but them to use it, that's racist. I don't like the fact that the excuse 'because I'm Black' is still available. What ever happened to a COLOR BLIND SOCIETY!? It obviously doesn't exist until they stop wanting their own oppression. To be quite honest, I find it hilarious whenever someone of dark skin tone in my class brings up slavery, because I turn around and ask them when the last time they has any of that and they respond with some crap about their ansesters. Well I think it's HILARIOUS that you have so much hatred for people that brought you to AMERICA and made it so you're not dying of aids. You bring up crap that happened over 20 years ago because you don't have anything solid other then the fact that you constantly remind us that we are bad people for bringing you over 100+ years ago and you don't like it here. As Racist as this is, if you don't like it, go back to Africa, no skin off my back.

I apologize if I offended anyone, please feel free to argue with me if you feel the need to... I am just sick and TIRED of all this Bullshit whining I have to hear about how BAD I am because I'm a blonde haired blue eyes individual, who's never been discriminated against a day in her life... bull, do you know how many times I get called Nazi?!

I have gay friends that say That is so gay.. so I do not think they really think it is an insult lol. If they are using it. I do not feel comfortable doing it so I do not use the term personally. But I do know what you mean. When people say they are ok but then they act totally different.

Thanks for the support.

LOL, sorry Critter. I was not trying to be mean if that's what you thought! Just making a general statement about what "grinds my gears" ... :wink:

I think that Obama is the more likely candidate. Let's face it, all the sexist men of america are not ready for a first man instead of a first lady.
I hate to put a stereotype to men, but I see more commonly in men, that they think women are stupid and that they are inferior and that they belong in the kitchen. Too many times have I heard a white middle-aged man say that. And what are most of our voters and congressmen--White middle-aged men!
Obama has a better chance simply because he is a man and the men of America are not ready to have a woman as their leader, Nor do they see a woman as fit to be a leader.

MrsGrape 04-22-2008 08:18 PM

I am not an American, but I am of American descent on my father's side. If I was a citizen, I would vote for Obama, no doubt.
