I left for two days and I come back to all these posts about gilry guys and Gay-dar's what happened

Yeah I know.. I mean guys can you give it a rest for a few days? what is the big deal?

I left for two days and I come back to all these posts about gilry guys and Gay-dar's what happened

I don't know, maybe it has something to do with your being gone for two days. What did you do? Where did you go? :D

It's Gay Day, it'll be over soon.

Posts have sexuality now?

lol thats good.... well done

Posts have sexuality now?

Only during the Homosexuality and Human Sexuality cycles.

Yes, no one gave you the memo?

:D gotta love it. :headbang:

what the hell.......

It's simple-- If you haven't noticed, more than half of the posts on NS will always be about a few neverending topics. These are (in no special order):

1. The Gay vs. The Straight
2. Socialism/Communism vs. Libertarianism/Capitalism
3. Liberal vs. Conservative
4. Religion vs. Science
5. Anarchism/Minarchism vs. Social Order/Big Government
6. Republicans vs. Democrats

Get used to it. These arguments aren't going anywhere on a forum primarily devoted to politicical debate.

what? you didnt get the memo? we've all decided to "go gay for august"!

get with it!

Well, it all started back in the Spring of 2005, a spring of love, joy, and evil. Someone had stumbled on a bunch of pot...

i know people will keep posting about it. Some because they have a good defense for gay people, others for their blatant immaturity... it won't ever end.

you forgot USA vs. France :D

you forgot USA vs. France :D
And Eurocentric VS Americentric

And the People of the United States of America v. The People's Republic of China

4. Religion vs. Science

This one is probably better stated as something like secularity vs. religion . As there have been many threads that make comment about religion but do not involve science so much as say atheism is better (the evolutionary threads are science vs. religion). Often times those threads have atheists who claim Christianity is evil and is based on bad ideas while many Christians defend their religion in various ways. Not all religious threads involve science.

It may be a desperate attempt to convince us that being gay is something new and interesting and not a practice common throughout recorded history. Sory but you are not a unique snowflake.....

Young Harrison Ford's a Babe!

But i wont shaft him or even think of it.

It's like taxonomy really (puts on a David Attenborough voice)

And here you have the lesser spotted creationist-Evolution argument.

You see this one lives in the highly volatile "creation science" ecosystem which uses fossil evidence to prove the great flood, as oppposed to the greater spotted argument that says that fossils are God's way of testing us...

oh and now there's a rare sight. I believe we're witnessing the mating of usually opposed Gay and Bible studies arguments in an Islamophobic environment... now that is something

I thought my page 1 comment was funny. Now this is good stuff. You've got to do it in an Australian accent though, okay?

Gay people are the right hand of Satan, or left hand, which ever hand he uses to masturbate with.

:fluffle: = gay

:fluffle: :sniper: = YAY!

That's enough. Saying 'YAY' to murdering homosexual people is a threat, which is taken very seriously on these forums.

Also not on the list is the random, occasional sports discussion, and even those aren't civilized.

There's this thing called sarcasm see... Ah fuck it never mind.

I'm pretty sarcastic about many things these days, but this topic I take very seriously.

Well, it all started back in the Spring of 2005, a spring of love, joy, and evil. Someone had stumbled on a bunch of pot...

and we started feeling realy good, mellowed out, chilled. Then it dawned on us, we needed to rediscover our sexuality. So,..

moderators shoul be taken in moderation :cool:

Unless you're a puppet, that seems rediculously random.

why it was started on a light note...

It may be a desperate attempt to convince us that being gay is something new and interesting and not a practice common throughout recorded history. Sory but you are not a unique snowflake.....

Silly Mesa - this is like the opposite of a back-handed compliment (y'know the one that turns out to be an insult -

e.g. "wow Mary you've lost so much weight I bet most of your clothes don't fit you now..." or
"You are not like the other girls, you don't worry about your looks."
or
"You have great hips, they'll definitely be an asset during child birth"
or
"You should get Nicole to go shopping with you, she always looks great."
or
"At least your hair is starting to look normal again."
or
"It is so refreshing to have a conversation with someone who does not feel that she has to prove she is smart."

this is called the backhanded jibe, cause it's actually supporting you!
think about it - Pauljeekistan isn't ragging on how you're not the unique little flower your mother always thought you were, but rather he's saying that gay people are a mundanity, i.e. they've been around, they are around and they will continue to be around...something a lot of homophobes try to say isn't true (according to them we all formed due to the feminist conspiracy emasculating men.. or some other rubbish)

I for one have a sense of humour and so Thanks Pauljeekistan ;)

Actually it's usually the conservatives who incorrectly think that homosexuality is a new evil menace on society.

It was taken as this: I thought he was referring to gay people.. and suggested they want to be treated special because they think they are unique and the first ones.

But seriously I never take anything lightly in this type of thread and humor is not something I listen to. I'm down to the business of saying what has to be said.

ah it's good to know we gays have some zealots too! :D

Wow Thermidore you win the prize! In my current living situation being hetro is the minority. So I guess I have to take some amusement (bieng a student of history) at homophobes who think that being gay is some outlandish new fad. On the other end I definately have to giggle a bit at homosexuals that find their sexual proclivities to be a defining characteristic. Or to quote Pauljeekistan at a local cafe', "You're gay we know you're gay we know that Rob is gay. There are gay folks all over the place. This does not make you unique or special. Gay is passe. Before you started rambling on about your gayness Rob and I were having a pleasant little conversation about music. If you have something besides being gay to contribute to the conversation please do so. I've spent a lot of time looking for myself. Never once did I look in a clothing store or a bedroom."

ah it's good to know we gays have some zealots too! :D

i'm not a zealot. I don't think those character attacks are very valid.

But seriously I never take anything lightly in this type of thread and humor is not something I listen to. I'm down to the business of saying what has to be said.

Then you really should think twice before you join threads such as these. Do not attack other people for your inability to contain yourself and behave.

No, you're dead wrong. First off, I can join whatever thread I think, and secondly I will most certainly join these threads and defend my position. I have an inability to contain myself and behave? Point out where I was misbehaving. If you have any complaints give it to the moderators, and I bet they will say I very well was behaving in these threads. So it isn't up to you to determine if I was behaving or not.

hahaha, anyone the south park where being gay is cool?? the metrosexuals who are realy crabpeople. Thats what these posts are all about, Gay is super fantabulously cool now! yay for gay! But we all know gay people are realy giant crabs trying to take over our planet and way of life. ;)

Yes you can, but you probably shouldn't. Not as long as, and I quote you on this, you: "seriously [... ]never take anything lightly in this type of thread and humor is not something [you] listen to" after completely having missed a joke so apparent everybody else seems to have gotten it. What do you do in lieu of apologising to the person you immediately swooped in over your mistake and self-proclaimed inadequacy to interpret apparent humour? You have not given an excuse for it - you erroneously assume that proclaiming and taking misdirected pride in your inability to contain yourself and not "take anything lightly" makes your error excused. I am afraid that it doesn't.

No, it isn't, but I am pointing it out to you. You are being needlessly abrasive and if you truly, as you say, lose a vital ability to participate in a forum (the sense of humour) when you join threads like these, you would do best to think about not joining these types of thread, that seem to have such an effect on you. You take things too personally, and you lash out disproportionately.

Everything said in this message is meant as friendly advice and constructive criticism. There is no malice or spite intended. I appreciate your posts, but think you are making an error in joining threads that have this affect on you. I feel the need to point this out, since you have earlier shown to be too quick to take such advice from me as an attack. It isn't meant as one, and I hope you do not take it as one.

Giant Crabs?!?!? Oh shit!

**hides under table**

It seems to me there's always topics on NS about sexuality - whether gay or otherwise...there does seem to be an inordinate amount of topics asking people 'why' they are gay...which seems a silly question, but what the hey

First off, when there are christian fundamentalists involved in the thread, IT ake it pretty seriously. I don't make errors in this. And this has nothing to do with a joke thread. I mean is it nice to make jokes of homosexuality? I didn't think so. You need to stop insulting me and move on. Apparently, you have other issues you need to take care of, like your poor taste in men.

I don't think human sexuality is something that should be made fun of. And i have a right to join whatever thread I want and I guess what? I will join these threads. Your accusations are without merit or evidence.

Your mistake is saying I have not done a good job whereas I have. I have a right to join these threads and I have a right to take matters seriously. Not everyone in the world is like you, and you have no right to tell me that I'm not good enough to be part of these debates because I happen to take things a little more seriously then you.

Honestly guys - let's all just sit back and look at this from a new angle

These are just forums - albeit v. good ones - not worth getting worked up about and risk getting Mod action involved, let's all just smile and have some more coffee/tea/weed/extra-marital relations with a bull/own personal vice ;)

If you're waiting for folks to stop making jokes about sexuality you'll be waiting a very very long time. Next you're want to end jokes about flatulence and we know that ain't gonna happen.

Yep you have the god given right to take enything no matter how rediculous seriously. Me I'm excercising the right to laugh at your expense....

The entire NS noticeboard has come out of the closet in your absence.

Sorry, they wanted to tell you first, but...the tabloids offered them MONEY.

*sigh*

I'm sorry you feel that way, and I reiterate that it was meant as constructive criticism, not as an insult or attack, as I thought I had made clear in my post. You dismiss my advice too easily, IMO, and I feel it is but indicative of the problem I had raised, but that is your prerogative, of course. It is a shame, but ultimately your decision to make. Be well.

hmmm...I always wondered how you could tell if a post was gay or not....maybe ask it? Maybe the posts just now decided to come out of the closet. ...Ow come on ..where is your sense of humor? :eek:

Gay posts are born that way. It is not a choice!

you forgot USA vs. France :D

USA would win.

Live in the USA do you?

Anyways, about gay posts, are you homophobic? Or do you just not like gay people. I'm not one, but every time I see something like this, I get pissed. They should have the same rights as us. Some (most) religions say that being gay is a sin or something. I'm pretty dissapointed with this so called "free country" when rights are being taken away as we speak. I'm specifically talking about the US (obviously), as I'm not sure about other countries laws with this kind of thing.


This post went sort of off topic, so I'm gonna quit my blabbering. Usually my posts are alot longer than this. Sorry for possibly starting tension in this topic.

I always wondered if anyone took the fundamentalists seriously. Guess what you're it!

Unfortunately in this day and age, fundamentalists protest at funerals and have power in elections. (Note: I'm not accusing Bush of being fundamentalist, lets not go there because I don't think he is one)


If you're waiting for folks to stop making jokes about sexuality you'll be waiting a very very long time. Next you're want to end jokes about flatulence and we know that ain't gonna happen.

Well, my expectations aren't that high for people who like to crack jokes about gay people. I don't think they are very smart, let alone very emotionally sound.

Yep you have the god given right to take enything no matter how rediculous seriously. Me I'm excercising the right to laugh at your expense....

Maybe you should exercise the right to use spell check.

Fass, I'm not dismissing anything because I simply do not see what advice you are giving. There wasn't any. I can make my own decisions where I should or should not post. Again, I'll say not everyone is like you.

I left for two days and I come back to all these posts about gilry guys and Gay-dar's what happened
How long have you been here? Homosexuality is a hot button topic here, right up there with Bush, terrorism and abortion...

That's enough. Saying 'YAY' to murdering homosexual people is a threat, which is taken very seriously on these forums.
