Fox News; what do they have to do with the team in China?

If you do gay things; you're gay at that moment. Why is that so hard to understand?

P.S. This post is about foot fetishers and their lack of support.

Not saying that. I understand you cannot do that.

But what you can do is not make a thread openly mocking homosexuals and then go around posting like you are all innocent. You think being gay is chosen? Fine. Should I go make a thread mocking Christianity and ask if it should be taught in schools? Religion is chosen as well. But I won't. Know why? Because it is not right to do.

You said in the past that what the liberal celebrities and Hollywood say means nothing to you yet when a "source" from a TABLOID says that Angelina "hates" Obama for being a "socialist", you suddenly take what she says seriously? And second of all, about those other celebrities you mentioned, you take them more seriously as well? Odd.

Because that's how the anti-gay crowd sees homosexuality. As a fetish.

Yes, they are mean-spirited and ridiculous. I find it best to not take them very seriously.

First of all, I didn't mock homosexuals anywhere; but if I did, so what? Christians get mocked here everyday, liberals and conservative get mocked here everyday; why can't gays? are they so fragile that if someone mocks gays they'll just melt? If everyone is equal, then everyone should be open to teasing equally.

By creating a thread in response the other poll thread, you are indeed mocking Homosexuality. Do you know some people commit suicide because they are gay? When was the last time you heard someone who committed suicide
because they were liberal, conservative, or Christian?

As someone who is as religious as you are, I think you would be the last to judge and mock. Would Jesus approve? From my research of Christianity and from what I get from fellow users on this forum, the answer would be NO!

Yes and it is pathetic in the least. I cannot imagine the plight of homosexuals. I am straight and I am hurt with all the hatred people have for gays. Why not just let them be and everyone be happy?

You can say whatever you want, of course. Mock everyone you wish. But then don't expect your comments on other issues to be taken seriously.

People commit suicide for all kinds of reasons, all of them are sad. I'm just joking around, lighten up. Sheesh! Everyone's soooo darn serious tonight. We've become the United States of the Offended and the fact that you're so upset about such a stupid thread is exhibit A.

Some people are bullies. It's good to call them out on it.

I could simply careless to be honest, but in general I don't think its a good idea to start teaching sexual fetishes in school. The fact you want to compare fetishes to orientation shows a severe lack of ability to reason.
