Amonger is spot on with that one. They demand straight-up approval, pure and simple. If one doesn't approve of and embrace (as normal and perfectly acceptable) homosexuality and homosexuals, they are branded as homophobic, which is a pejorative invented by homosexuals to make people feel guilty...

In order for cicadas to be tasty, even chocolate doesn't help. The only way to go is to wrap them in bacon.

So you think hundreds if not thousands of years of tradition and legal precedent should be altered to accommodate the special wants of a small minority of the population? Interesting. Funny thing is, government marriage certificates are, in fact, civil unions. The reason it's called a marriage...

OK, granted, I missed Lawrence's post announcing the "Who Can Demonstrate The Most Ignorance Contest." But you win. No, it's not. But it is, however, your fault that you still do not know and understand the meaning of the word "prejudice." Here, let me help you with that. Prejudice - an...

I agree. We need to go back to the way it was before the government started granting these special rights. Women having rights? Preposterous.

Yes, it is. But that's not upon what I base my determination. The same could be said for truck drivers emerging from their cabs and waddling across the parking lot. That doesn't make them less disgusting. :D Move to Kentucky and become thankful really often. We have both the 13 and the 17 year...

See? You're not paying attention. Whether there should be homosexual or women's rights is certainly debatable, but their actual existence is not.

Because the "thoroughly disgusting" is usually unwelcome.

It's not an assumption. It's based on observation of the clearly evident. And it could only be construed as a prejudice by someone who doesn't know the meaning of the word. When you draw conclusions about someone based on what they have done or have said, it's hardly a pre-judgment. So can being...

That's certainly an incentive to get a Pilot Card, I'd think.

Without question. I also read, and pay attention to what is going on in society.

OK, let me see if I can simplify this a little. With regard to why the word has been, at least up to this point, allowed here on EO has absolutely nothing to do with whether you think the term applies to an act or a state of being. You can define terms any way you want, but it's how the term is...

Yeah, well, sure, painting with broad stokes will always be inaccurate and maybe incorrect, but let's get real here. Most conservatives, at least in this country, are of the religious fold, and since the Bible condemns homosexuality, or at the very least tells adherents to frown upon it, and...

While the Inquisition is certainly a striking example, there are more recent examples... like last week. I'd like to be able to say it's because I'm a Mod, but really, it's just that I'm smart.

Not really. Mr. Magnanimous. Ooooooh, I think you do. The pendulum swings to and fro. What goes around comes around. You reap what you sow. There is nothing new under the sun. FOr centuries Christians and used violence and intimidation, including the threat of eternal dаmnation and Hellfire...

Actually, no, that's not why you (and others) are permitted to use the term here on EO. Whether someone must engage in a homosexual act to be a homosexual, or a :censoredsign: (which is not even a universally accepted opinion), is wholly irrelevant as to "why." I don't know about the other moderators...

See? Right there you crossed the line with "he is a very gay person." Do you know, to an absolute moral certainty, that he is a "very gay person"? If not, then you're violating the Code of Conduct in fine fashion. Now, because you have a rather colorful and documented history of posting...

Because the "N" word and the "C" word are very different from the "F" word. The words ":censoredsign:" and ":censoredsign:goty", and their various and creative variations such as ":censoredsign:gotry" are a uniquely American Americanisms (though that has spilled over into Canada for the most part), and are of relatively recent...

Oh, they've been saying that, too, and for almost as long. The sky isn't falling and The Rapture isn't upon us. Besides, you won't know about it before it happens, anyway.

People have been saying that exact phrase, sans the Turtle, for nearly 2000 years.
