The straight people are the ones who do incest, S&M, bondage, domestic violence, wife swapping, pastors/ministers molesting children, parents selling their kids for drugs, parents killing their own kids for who knows what reason, weird fetishes, and the list goes on and on and on. Gay people ARE being accepted in mainstream society. Just because you don't want to believe they aren't doesn't make it so, because they are and they are doing just fine. All they want is the right to marry whom they want to share their lives with (sound familiar?). Same rights for all human beings, and no more discrimination all because of a bunch of child molesting religious freaks with their backwoods mentality who don't want it. Gay people are not the ones with the deviant behavior. Gay people work, pay bills, watch movies, go to bed, eat the same kind of meals you do. Gay people do the same exact things "straight" people do, except they are not the wolves hiding in sheeps clothing (i.e. all the reasons listed above). At least now adays its nice to go out in public and see the same sex people showing their love for each other the same way "straight" people do. It's nice to see acceptance and tolerance for all human kind (except there are still the ignorant few). So, now with the states coming around i hope to see more gay marriage coming up. For those who don't like it, too bad. It's not your choice anymore. Gays ARE being accepted whether you like it or not.

Being called gay is an insult, plain and simple.
It's even used in popular slang as an insult, i.e. 'that's gay'. They are NOT accepted in mainstream society or they wouldn't have to be making such a stink right now trying to become accepted. It is deviant behavior, and deviant behavior should not be legal. Whatever you do behind your own closed doors is your business, but that's where it should stay.
I'm a straight person who would rather be called gay
And I'll the gay people as neighbors any day over your particular brand of 'morality', as well.
This is what I wrote in my message below called outrageous
Their blatant glutton is so sickening I could just puke! Families losing their jobs, homes, 401K's, retirements. People are in such hard times right now, bailouts after bailouts after bailouts and congress (all pretty close to millionaires if not more) goes and just gives themselves a pay raise. I'm am so sick to death of the whole political scene.
Not false, you called me Newton, Darwin, and a nasty little wretch - see message
When I never called you anything. After you called me Newton I called you Einstein. And you even made reference in one of your posts that I was an a@@ without coming out and writing the "a" word.
This IS getting childish, but after reading your posts attacking me I said enough, keep your name calling to yourself.
One poster said it's childish and I do feel it is childish. If you hadn't called me those names when I clearly didn't call you anything then I would not have posted. But it was getting to the point that everything I was posting about you were replying calling me things. While I am all for a discussion with people who have a different opinion than mine I should not have to keep reading the negative remarks about me personally.
Someone else said I have the nasty attitude. I believe she probably agrees with a lot of your posts and is defending you. So I took her challenge and read through the last 3 pages to when I first began posting.
I've even copy and pasted all messages in a word document if your interested. But never once in any of my posts did I call you or any other person names. I only called you Einstein after you called me Newton.
Having a difference of opinions is one thing, and explaining why but there is never any need to result to name calling. The moderator has expressed that many times.
But at least I don't feel alone because I read some other posts where you called someone a prophet and a snake when they hadn't said anything bad to you.
So please, be my guest, you show me one post that I started off calling you names. I don't take this personal, this board is to discuss issues. I'm always welcome for quality discussion of issues. I know a lot of people don't like their posts challenged but when I feel something is wrong I will write a post. I don't post to every post on this board like Nasty Attitude said I did. I went back through the pages to when I first started posting and there are only a few posts I replied to.
And when I'm wrong I'll say I'm wrong. This time I am not wrong. And I'm respectful to other people. Everyone is entitled to their viewpoint. But we should not be badgered and called names because of our differences in opinions.

Another one of several .... just here to insult
There doesn't seem to be any objectivity here. However, more important

In Reply to: That's a little unfair - huh?
there seems to be no concern for what is going on in our classrooms. I am not talking about political bias, either. I am talking about WHAT THE TEACHER SAID. It's been recorded. There is no way to misinterpret it. I am AMAZED that anyone would defend it. But not surprised. Thankfully, not all liberals are so close-minded. And I AM thankful for that.
No, that would be an insult. sm
And I don't talk that way. Maybe you do. As far as slant, why do you keep coming here and saying the same thing? I go to several chat boards were both liberal and conservatives post and no one ever goes on like this.
Where's the insult?
Your response to the 3rd-party article was not intelligent. It was emotional and defensive. Statement of fact. You blow things out of proportion. Statement of fact. You take things too personally. Statement of fact. Like I said earlier, facts seem to elicit paroxysms of paranoia. Statement of fact.
I am right along with should not insult
the Smother Brothers like that.
Need new insult. Yours getting old. Look up on internet. Do better.
People watching.
Why insult my views?
I assure you my views aren't warped. They are my own personal views just as you have theirs. Your view of reality is not mine. I realize that the war on terror is going to be an ongoing war with it's inevitable ebbs and flows. I'll admit that I don't know if Bin Laden is alive or dead, but my gut feeling is that he is dead of natural causes. You are right, if we had caught Bin Laden the world would know it, although I don't know if it would be for purely political gain like you would think it would be. I'm sorry that you have to turn discussion of a topic into a personal insult towards me and my views, but I believe you hold a very polarized view of what is going on in the war on terror. I guess history will have to pan out what exactly is going on in this country, but I believe we are in a political civil war.
Not a sexist insult....
"we need our eyes on the gulf, not the skirt." Amazing. Kind of sucked the air right out of the indignant post.
That being said, I agree, we need to be thinking about those on the gulf.
And as to victimization...Sarah Palin doesn't think of herself that way, neither do I. However, the nastiness of the attacks on her only serve to make democrats look small, scared, and surly. And keeps the attention on her and not on their candidate. Not a good thing for him, really.
I dont know who are you to insult
you. I certainly do not know your husband. I did not read your post, if you are referring to one, so if you take particular posts on a board as aimed solely at you, that is not my problem, but yours.
please do not insult my intelligence
Why do people here do that? You do not know me so do know presume that I am "not familiar with workers' movements and do not keep up with the news." You do not have to accept my opinion; I do not have to accept yours. But please realize I have every right to hold that opinion and to express it. Just because i see it differently than you does not give you the right to demean my knowledge of the subject. I have lived on the side of those who were definitely hurt be unionization. My opinion comes from personal experience as well as other sources. I am outta here now.
There you go - another name calling insult
Can you try to have an adult convesation here instead of proving us right by repeatedly name calling and "trying" to ridicule those who don't agree with you.
Is an insult followed by **abound** all
You complain about insult and then
And frankly, I didn't see anything the slightest bit insulting to you personally in what he said. At worst, it was a bit sarcastic, perhaps, but sarcasm and insult are NOT the same thing.
You call that an insult?
Insult? NOT!
You have an odd definition of insult.
Michelle Obama was roundly hooted when she suggested that racism is anything that a person perceives to be racist, and here you are offering the same sort of definition. "Insult is anything someone considers to be insulting."
If you can't figure out the problems with definitions like these, I'll be happy to tell you - but I wouldn't want to insult your intelligence.
insult to all sane americans
To post something like this shows you are truly a bigoted fool. You know darn well, we of the left are not *dancing on their graves*. It is an insult that you posted this.
Do you think calling me a liberal is an insult? LOL
I dont run from the liberal label, friend, I'm proud of it!
I thought she did a FINE job overall. And I thought she was best at dodging the questions she didn't/wouldn't/couldn't answer - and repeating the MCBUSH mantra: ALL WAR ALL THE TIME.
Wrong, unfortunately you insult yourself, with every demeaning...sm
utterance, and it is YOU, my dear, who demean the rest of us.
I feel very sorry for you and your smallness.
First, I never feel "cornered". Second, what was the insult, please? NM
X
This was not meant as an insult, but as a question? With Rep everything is possible
Please, do not commit plagiarism. Do not copy and paste MY comment as your own, because you find my postings so excellent and intelligent that you have to use them to make a point.
Your mere presence on this board is an insult
Why don't you have any respect for the administrator of this board?
Go crawl back under your rock on the cantservative board. You bring nothing of value to this board and you're violating the administrator's repeated requests.
This is NOT a sexist insult for the poor, victimized SP.
Unbelievable. This is NOT about SP. What does she know about a mass evacuation of 5 million people? Not only does she need to stay away from us, she needs to be taken off the TV screen long enough to broadcast announcements of mandatory evacuation areas, evacuation routes, contra-flow designations on major highway systems, announcements from local officials in the affected areas and maybe just a little coverage on how to prepare for the onslaught of a category 3/4 hurricane in a geographic area of such dense population. Evacuations when done improperly are FATAL, as Houstonians found out during the evacuation for Hurricane Rita when 110 people lost their lives out on the roads trying to run from the storm. They are phased events and need wide-scale news coverage from any and all media outlets. This is about the 5 million people who are running for their lives. The comment was about the irresponsible news coverage and the spell that people seem to be under to the exclusion of even an tacit awareness that death is just around the corner for possibly hundreds of their fellow-citizens. You can live without SP media saturation for a day or two. We need our eyes on the gulf, not on the skirt.
You're too busy trying to insult the posters
that I even copy your own words and you argue against that. One poster said he has never run for President or Vice President and you replied to that post and said "Yes he has". Brother I keep saying its like talking to a brick wall.
First of all, if most Americans insult your superior intellect
by not considering "other view points" then I would suggest you go ahead and pack up and leave.
Second of all, the only thing a person will get from AL Jazeera is extremely biased against Israel. The entire middle east hates Israel. This has been well established. They are surrounded by enemies and even have enemies within their own borders -- Hamas which is why they invaded the Gaza Strip. Are they supposed to sit by and watch the Hamas terrorists send their suicide bombers to kill their civilians? Are they supposed to simple swallow the hatred and threats against their sovereignty?
You really shouldn't insult Dickie Smothes like that - LOL!

Republicans Insult the American People
Republicans Insult American People
by Aimee Franc
Right before Obama was elected, Republicans decided to "bailout" the banking industry. It was a socialistic move. But they didn't care because they knew Obama would be elected and that he would eventually take the fallout for it. People like those from Fox News wanted to make sure they continuously got that word "socialism" out there. Now that Obama is President (for only 3 weeks now) Obama is completely to blame for this entire economic mess. Fox news this morning just can't stop talking about it. Fox news acts like the economy is just a joke and Obama is just trying to be a fear monger. They laugh at Timothy Geithner. They laugh about the United States failing. Republicans in fact do want us to fail so that they can be reelected. Now does that sound patriotic to you? Do they really think the American people are that ignorant? Apparently some must be and I'm sure they'll be posting below.
This THING is a sham! -an insult to the country.
nm
No insult - just take a look at all her ranting, incoherent posts.....
A Rush Limbowel wanna-be....
Tsk tsk tsk - nasty or miserable - still is the same thing and an insult
No matter how much you want to sugar coat it, its all nasty. No need to be that way on this board.
An insult is defined by how someone is affected; therefore, is personal. - sm
btw, your continued "what are you (insert age here) or something?" comments are not insulting, but rather pitiful.
Certified graduate of the *How to Insult like a kindergartener* school of insults. SM
Please post with respect and without personal insult when posting on each other's boards. Thank

Frankly, I thought it was an insult to the Monkey, and Curious George, also, he was intelligent!...n

So let me get this straight
If Bush changes his mind it's flip-flopping but if a Democrat and/or liberal does it he/she's just exercising his right to change their mind.
I just love pointing out blatant double standards which their seems to be a lot of in the liberal ideology.
What you fail to realize is that what is going on Washington right now is politics as usual on both sides. Both sides are playing the game to some extent. The liberals are just realllly bad at it.
So, let me get this straight...
The poster of sickened and fed up can post here and criticize and this is okay, but Think Liberal cannot defend the original post, and if he/she does, he/she is not compassionate? Sounds pretty one-sided to me.
let me see if I have this straight
I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....
* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're "exotic,
different."
* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American story.
* If your name is Barrack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.
* Graduate from Harvard Law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.
* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first
black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive
that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law
professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with more
than 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human
Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a
state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the
Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs
committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.
* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council
and 6 years as the mayor of a town with fewer than 7,000 people, 20 months as
the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to
become the country's second highest ranking executive.
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2
beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real
Christian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your
disabled wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.
* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the
proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
* If, while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other
option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen
daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a
prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community,
then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America's.
* If your husband is nicknamed "First Dude," with at least one DWI conviction
and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once
was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the
USA, your family is extremely admirable.
OK, got it! It is sooo much clearer now
So let me get this straight - sm
you get mad at people if they won't vote for O because he's black but your against someone because of their age? But to throw another wrench in you are for Biden when he's only a few years younger than McCain? The term I heard tonight that could correctly go into this post is "nincompoop".
Let me get this straight... you and DH sm
Make more than $250K and you are an MT?
I will be straight up with you on this one.
I'm a McCain supporter in this election and I will be voting for him. Having said that, I don't think either candidates are perfect and I'm not sure McCain's economics plans will actually benefit this country right away, but I do know that Obama's economic plan will make our situation worse. That is the main reason I'm not voting for him. Taxing companies more will lose jobs...not create them. Raising taxes during an economic crisis leads to worse economic crisis....just look at what Hoover did. He raised taxes during a recession and it started the Great Depression. FDR started several goverment assisted programs to help and they actually extended the duration of the great depression. Obama wants to raise taxes and wants to institute new government assisted programs.
As for the allegations of him being born outside of the country....who knows. He claims he was born in Hawaii and if that is the case, show your birth certificate and be done with it. If you have nothing to hide, show it. Ya know. I feel that there have been many things that Obama has not been outright and honest about. If any other politician had the associations and the history as Obama has had.....their political career would be in the gutter. I do not understand this love affair the media has with Obama.
I do not trust Obama and let me reiterate that this is not a race thing. I don't think John McCain is a saint and I do know that all politicians lie to get elected but I just feel like John McCain has served this country all of his life and I would feel more comfortable with him in the oval office than a man we hardly know, who won't answer questions honestly about himself or his associations, and has very little experience.
So, let me get this straight.
Slander, infer, distort, misrepresent, fabricate, slur, smear, disparage, belittle, defame, deceive, falsify, slam, libel, vilify and lie about Obama night and day, ad nauseum, 24/7, for months on end but when his supporters (whose interests they feel he represents) TAKE THIS PERSONALLY, and respond in kind, this is mean? Dial back the dialog on the candidate candidate and you will be pleasantly surprised to see what you get from the other side.
Okay, so let me get this straight..
into poverty, but you don't want the money it takes to care for these children to come out of your pocket???? Am I on the mark?
I guess this is another so-called way to sling mud at Obama. The rich republicans can't have it both ways. You either care for the unborn (welfare for their mothers) or you allow the mother the choice... Which is it?
Not all abortions are a form of birth control, ya' know. I knew a very religious lady that aborted her child due to hydrocephalus. The child would been born deformed/a vegetable. This would have put this lady at high risk. She prayed about it and soon after aborted the child. She had to live with that.
Not all situations are the same. Furthermore, you can't force your child to have a baby or to have an abortion. Either way, it's her body.
So let me get this straight....
If the cartoon doesn't offend me, I am racist. If I didn't vote for Obama, I am racist. If I am not up in arms about something as silly as a political cartoon, I am racist. I have never dated or been married to a black man, does that make me racist? There are no black people who live in my community (it is very small), does that make us all racists? I do have several black friends, do I get a free pass for that? I go to movies that feature black actors, is that okay? I like to listen to the Motown channel on Sirius radio, is that okay? Oh, I like Whoopi Goldberg, Halle Berry, and I even think Michelle Obama is fairly attractive, do I get a free pass for that too? Oh, but I don't like Oprah, so that makes me a racist, right?
This argument is old as the hills and will never go away. To each his own, don't obsess about it.
Actually, MANY do think FOX gives is straight.
nm
Let me get this straight....(sm)
You think I'm a hypocrit because you knew a flamboyant homosexual when you were growing up? That almost made sense....
Tell me, if you meet a homosexual and you don't approve of his/her mannerisms, does that give you the right to attack him? What happens if someone doesn't approve of your mannerisms?
Let's get this straight,
you choose to start a grammar war, hurl personal insults, get thoroughly defeated by practically everyone on this board, then go crying to the moderator? We have a couple of American sayings (maybe Midwestern, you would be the expert on that, I suppose):
Don't bring a knife to a gun fight.
If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
FYI, if you are transcribing for American accounts, you really should be familiar with the vernacular. Doctors often use slang in direct quotes and typing ''criminal'' for criminetly would make you look quite silly.
Not at all. Just trying to set the record straight. sm
 As to what the board monitor REALLY said, since the left sometimes has comprehension problems and all.
Get facts straight
Where would the word satanist even come up in your head? I mean, that is truly scarey. I dont even know what that is. It is not part of my vocabulary or thought proceses, yet you posting in a liberal board throw that my way? Obviously, these things are on your mind..to me that is downright troubling. Get facts straight? That is what we liberals and peace lovers have been trying to tell you warmonger right wingers all along..get your facts straight..the war is based on lies, Bush is a liar..
