Would you believe I stumbled upon it?

My life isn't quite of Kodak caliber... but we're working on that. Sometimes, doing the right thing must be its own reward, because the true payoff doesn't necessarily come until later.

Nice of you to compare gays to drug addicts, prostitutes and criminals.

You'll know if you're talking to someone reasonable right away, just don't have unrealistic expectations.
I guess it's the whole process of finding out whether or not a guy is secure and reasonable that deters me. You just don't know what to expect from guys. You see the way women, regardless of sexuality, gather around lesbians such as Ellen Degeneres and are, for the most part, at ease around her. When it comes to guys, you just don't see that. I'd like to have straight guy friends who I can genuinely feel comfortable around, but you wouldn't believe how difficult it is. If you can't be yourself and be relaxed, what's the point of even trying?

Take NWPA, for example. He has no idea what he's talking about.

Oh, my... I'm impressed to see what fine company I'm bundled with... You know what, dahlin', you can keep your friendship because I couldn't care less for it.

People are right. There’s gotta be something in the air of PA…

So, telling the truth about someone means that I'm automatically not good friendship material? Ultimately that doesn't bother me... I've never been able to maintain friendships with people who couldn't handle the truth.

One of the reasons why I like posting to this forum is because so many people have issues which revolve around their choice to lead immoral lives. I seek to remind people of the way it ought to be done. American society is moving further and further away from good morality, and we wonder why America is slowly going down the toilet. We need morals and we need rules. Following those who profess otherwise is unavoidably destructive. At least I can fight for what's right... and go down swinging if need be.

Funny how you think you know me. As I always say... we shall see who knows what he/she is talking about... in the afterlife. I'll place my bets and you'll place yours. When the ball stops whirling around and finally drops into a hole, you'd better hope you're right.

You may be good friendship material for people who also appreciate bigotry, but I don't.

I don't think I know you. But judging by your comments, I'm certain you're someone that I would not want to know, if given the option. I'm assessing you based on what you have said here, and it strikes me as incredibly limited in scope and experience. There is a great deal of presumptuousness in your views.

So I guess you consider bigotry is moral.

That's a shame. Being that egocentric and not at all humble, I mean.
