for someone that thinks homosexuals are "demented" you spend way to much time thinking about their sex lives.

Are you sure your not just bitter because you were turned down by some guy?

Well...it is a good thing that you are expressing your opinions, but there is a certain point as to where you may express yourself. A long time ago white people in society thought they were the dominant race and oppressed many people of the black, spanish, chinese, ect races. They called these people many offensive names and words because they were expressing their opinions. Now think about what your saying, "i think that homosexuality is a demented and dirty lifestyle. this is america and i can say what i want..."...first off, people do not choose to be gay, thats genetics. second, if you were to call someone a racist name today, it would be a hate crime...it may not be a hate crime to call someone a ****** or any other name like that...but times are changing and calling ANYONE ANY offensive name, no matter what it reflects about the person, is being changed into a hate crime. and finally you asked "why are gay men such faeries?".................first off faeries and gays have NOTHING in common, gays may be feminine, MAY! not all gays are like that....so calling gays femenine is a stereotype. So please try to move on with your life, times are changing for the better. God be with you.

I'm not being a smartass or trying to start anything, but not all gay men are fairies. I know three that routinely beat the **** out of people who give them problems.
It doesn't sound to me like gays are the ones who are intolerant and so long as you recognize that gays are allowed to say and believe what they want you can disagree all you feel like. Maybe it is a demented and dirty lifestyle, but there are other lifestyles that do just as more damage and cause a hell of alot more problems.
Have you seen the divorce rate lately? Reviewed history to see how much death and destruction religious fanaticism has caused? There are bigger concerns than what the gay guy next door does with his little pp.
And just out of idle curiousity- is it any less dirty if a girl gives head and likes anal sex? Or do you feel just as strongly against that?

You can say and believe what you want, that doesn't mean that you're free from personal consequences of those beliefs or statements thereof. If I said that you were a filthy person, or if I believed certain things about your ethnicity and made that known to you, you probably wouldn't be too fond of me. Your original question implies at VERY best what I would call "innocent ignorance", meaning that you just honestly don't know better. This question in addition to that one, however, implies malice and an utter refusal to let anyone jeapordize your state of ignorance.

Yes, this is America, but that doesn't mean you can say whatever you want and expect everyone to love you. It means that in response to what you said, I may not: refuse to employ / house you (unless you're gay; in some states that's still legal for no apparant reason), physically harm you, and that the government may not jail you for saying that. ::looks around:: Unless you have access to the internet from your prison, I'd say you've been duly protected. I'm also allowed to respectfully ask you to keep your assinine opinions to yourself, but an educated citizen such as yourself already knows that you don't have to if you don't want to.

Right let's get this 'straight' (so to speak) There is intolerance in any walk of life it is part of some people's chosen way to react to opinions or lifestyles that they consider to be the norm. However if someone has a different opinion to yours it does not make them intolerant, unless they become aggressive to the point where insults and ignorance form the basis of their opinions. That is intolerance, but debate is part of freedom of speech - it's crossing that fine line that an all to vocal minority from Other 'camps' seem to find hard to distinguish between.

This is America, You are right to say what you want, and be heard. However, when you call someone a ******, fairy or other derogatory name you should expect them to dislike and possibly even hate you. It would be no less if someone called you a bigoted intolerant hate monger. You would take offense to this language. If you don't want people to hate you, don't show hate towards them. Didn't your mother teach to treat everyone with respect.

Say what you want and others will do unto you. You have left a legacy of being kind and caring to people already...

...how about this answer you posted for a girl with a serious problem with her parents and emerging into the world:
"i think that you need to move in with me so we can have sex on a regular basis. that way you would know what a real man is and get laid and a free place to stay all at once...if your 18+ that is!!!!!"

...or someone merely wondering about "good witches":
"there are no "good" witches...they are all spawn of satan and should be hunted down and killed (seriously)..."

...and your sensitivity on racial issues and how to unite a divided America (which is divided along ideological as well as racial lines)
"by having all races stick with their own kind and only their own kind...duh! "

So... given your track record, I don't think "hater" is quite strong enough.

if you kick a pit bull, it will bite you. if you mess with a bull, you will get it's horns. if you insult someone, you will get spit in the face (either metaphorically or literally). anyone who opposes one's lifestyle is going to hate that person.

by the way, if you think we're demented, look at the lifestyle of a serial killer. if you want a look into one or two, i suggest Chikatilo, Fish, and Gein. especially Gein. he inspired some of pop-cultures most infamous Hollywood killers. from Buffalo Bill of Silence of the Lambs to Leather Face of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. you might find better things to b*tch about.

My god, you are thick and hyporcritical.

Put it this way;
your arguement could be posed the same way in 1939 in Nazi Germany:
"Why are the Jews so intolerant of our hatred for them mein Heir?"
You misunderstand, freedom of speech requires freedom of ALL parties, otherwise you haveno more right to your own than you resent them for taking theirs.

You are truely an ignoramus!

For ****'s sake, how would you feel about someone who persecuted you? Yes, you can say what you want, but don't expect the people you're hating to love you back. That's just stupid.
