deadthreaded question for the homophobe:
So you just were born to love men?
Brian | 10.18.08 - 5:40 pm | #
other way. i've been married for over 30 years. but i never made a choice to be sexually attracted to women, or to not be sexually attracted to men. i was just born that way. and my gay friends never chose to be the way they are, either.
so i'm just wondering - when did you make that choice? how hard was it? how hard is it now, thinking about the beautiful male body you could be snuggling tonight instead of spending another pitiful night alone because you can't come to terms with your own sexuality? what tipped the balance?
sorry, i can't wait around for your answer. but think about it, maybe you can tell me tomorrow.
the pa demo. party mailed out absentee ballot request forms monday. and the deadline to mail them is oct 28th. that's 5 days to turn that request form into a ballot, mail it to you, then you mail the completed ballot back. we all know beauracracies can't move that fast. this worthy mailing should have been done over a month ago.
I gave my tickets away. I couldn't be bothered.
Father God, Thank You for making it clear that You command us to forgive so we can be forgiven. We were guilty and You laid on Christ, the Lamb, the guilt of us all so we could be forgiven. We did nothing to merit that. Help us to forgive others the same way. We ask, believe we receive, and give thanks in Your Name, Lord Jesus. Amen.
America - who could have imagined it?
So a canvasser goes to a woman's door in Washington, Pennsylvania. Knocks. Woman answers. Knocker asks who she's planning to vote for. She isn't sure, has to ask her husband who she's voting for. Husband is off in another room watching some game. Canvasser hears him yell back, "We're votin' for the n***er!"
Woman turns back to canvasser, and says brightly and matter of factly: "We're voting for the n***er."

Big News Orgs Picking Up On Magnitude Of McCain's Robo-Slime Campaign
(snip)
It's worth stepping back to ponder what's really going on here. While McCain and Sarah Palin try to persuade you that they're running a relatively clean campaign and don't question Obama's patriotism or love of country, they are running an enormous shadow campaign to smear Obama in the ugliest of ways, one that's designed to portray him as a friend of terrorists, as a vaguely sinister other, as not genuinely committed to defending our country, and as callously indifferent to the lives of newborn babies.

You'd think. But no. If this were the UK, and you were a baronet, you might be able to swing it. After all, a peerage IS good for getting dinner reservations, even if you no longer have an actual manor house and forelock-tugging tenants to lift your spirit.
Speaking of robocalls. I got one a bit earlier from someone running for City Council at Large.
I hit his website. Ruh-Roh!
NOWHERE does it mention his party affiliation.
Google.
He's a Republican.
I left him an email essentially stating that I do not vote for Republicans, particularly republicans who don't mention their party affiliation in the robocalls and on their websites.
He'll not get my vote. His Democratic opponent, however...
Hi,
A friend of mine has done us the favor of writing a manifesto of sorts on male-female relationships, and I thought I would share it with you all, since it seems very telling:
How To Handle Your Man:
TOTALLY, BITCH!
A MANUAL FOR THE MODERN WOMAN
By Moneybags P. Hovnanian
This book is premised on a simple credo: when dealing with men, we ladies follow a scorched-earth policy that leaves no discretion to the man, and that treats the man like a machine used to produce gratification (or even a farm animal). After all, ever since we were children, didn’t our fathers teach us that girls shouldn’t cry and that we should always do our best to be happy, because otherwise it would make daddy upset? If we were not brought up in a barn, we all learn at a very early age (well, I did, anyway) that it is the MAN’s duty to do what it takes to attract a woman’s interest and do what it takes to indicate his interest to her, and a WOMAN’S prerogative to respond to this is any way she feels fit, no matter how bad it may be for the man: Remember, from the moment he first checked you out, your man traded away any right he had to PEACE, DIGNITY, OR FREEDOM for the rest of his life.
The Simple Rules
1. A relationship begins when YOU say it does. Notice that this is exactly contrary to what criteria we would allow a man to use to claim when a relationship has started. This is the first example for you of how standards in interactions between men and women are very elusive, and ultimately have to be unilaterally dictated by you, because anything else refers to a standard that is not the woman’s feelings, and that’s sexist and basically tantamount to a the Star Chamber and the Spanish Inquisition. So, if you’re just spywaring the computer of a man you don’t even talk to or ever see in person, that can be for our purposes a relationship, and it’s perfectly logical for you to feel that he owes you all the duties of a boyfriend, including deference to your actions, opinions, and decisions, not liking other women, and not masturbating to pictures of other women (that can be cheating-- even if he doesn’t have a girlfriend!) , and so on. On the other hand (even no matter how many times you have had sex with him) for a man to start acting or claiming he is in a relationship with you before you have made it clear to him that this is what is going on can range from being stupid, to really wrong and creepy (the difference depends just on your preference). So, in summation, if you think you are in a relationship with a man, you are, and all a person’s normal expectations of what life is supposed to be able to be like to the contrary, with respect to this man, no longer apply once you have decided— i.e, he basically has no more rights left, and you should expect that you can do whatever you want to him and treat him however you want.
You know, it's been a long time since I did my philosophy undergrad, but at the very least I seem to remember that there was some vigorous debate over that free-will v. determinsim stuff, with people who are way smarter than me on the the side of determinism.
So tell me Dirk, when you get on your knees at the porn shop in front of a glory hole, was that free will? Or were you and your friends born that way?
Brian | 10.18.08 - 5:48 pm | #
hahahahaha! what an idiot. see, you can't embarrass me about sexuality, because i see nothing wrong with it. i happen to be faithful to my wife, because she wants me to be. but other than that, so what?
if your idea of sex is anonymous blowjobs, i say go for it. but there is no reason to try and get laws passed to stop yourself. it's silly. if you DON'T want to have gay sex, then don't. but why should you get to tell anyone else what they can do?
asshole.
(continued)
2. When should you first have sex? With some exceptions, the general answer if you are really interested in the guy is as early as possible, and on the first date. Otherwise, he may run off with some stupid, skanky ho who is willing to do it for him. So in general, the idea in dating is always to be as slutty and skanky as possible as early as possible, until you get the guy really committed. Do you really want to wait for some guy who is so interested in you that he will still be so into you after the first date, on which you do not have sex with him, even if some skanky ho crosses his path afterwards? Don’t you want to go out with some asshole who would have ditched you in a heartbeat because you didn’t give him a blowjob within 1 or 2 dates? Remember, you’re mature and sophisticated, so the only man who is good enough for you is a man who is mature and sophisticated enough to assume that a date is a trade of dinner for a blowjob.
If you have read any feminist writing that makes it sound like this rule is BS, and that by following this kind of behavior you are reducing yourself from a person with dignity to a thing whose only worth is as a pair of labia and a vulva, just totally forget about that. We all know that out it the real world, we have to compete hard, and what that always takes is being more freaky than what else is out there on the meat-market, in the most cutthroat and expeditious way possible. After all, if he doesn’t like you for that blowjob you gave him 45 minutes into the first date, what is he going to like you for? Your personality?
3. Tell your friends. Remember, a man has surrendered his PRIVACY, HIS DIGNITY, AND HIS REPUTATION (if MEN can really be said to have such things!!) totally to your discretion! And it’s more than half the point of a relationship or having a romantic interest in somebody to be able to talk about it to other people anyway!
So all the details of your relationship, his anatomy, your sex life, anything he told you that seemed like it was a really sensitive admission made in confidence, the rest of his private life, and all of his successes and failures-- whether personal or professional-- have totally become fair game for you to gab over with your friends for sheer entertainment and sport! Ha ha ha ha! In fact, it’s expected! Don’t be a BITCH and withhold any-fucking-thing that guy says from your truly best girlfriends! They obviously are there for you and care about you and this means you owe them this vital information!
Swan,
SHEETS!

Dirk,
Why is it you make homosexuality sound like a disease?
Like it's an affliction you are born with?
YOU are the true homophobe.

if you came out of the closet it wouldn't have to be furtive and you wouldn't have to be repuke
Massachusetts is to Alabama as matter is to anti-matter. If you could bring the two into close proximity, a black hole would form that would bring Jebus back in a nanosecond.
(continnued)
4. Find out what interests him and ruin it for him.
5. Everything herein, supra and infra, can be justified on the basis of feminism. And you can simply take my word for it. If you have any doubts about how this is so in any particular respect, just stop: you’re too unsophisticated and you need to learn the ropes.
HOW TO ANNOY A MAN
ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS WHEN HE DOESN’T ASK YOU OUT QUICK ENOUGH IS HIS FUCKING FAULT
Remember: “it is the MAN’s duty to do what it takes to attract a woman’s interest and do what it takes to indicate his interest to her, and a WOMAN’S prerogative to respond to this is any way she feels fit, no matter how bad it may be for the man” (supra). This means that if you tell your guy during a private moment that before you went out, you were totally mad about him for the longest time, but when he never talked to you, you went and fucked some guy who was a total asshole, treated you like shit, and left you after a week, it totally makes sense. What were you supposed to do, talk to a guy you’re crazy about to get a little better idea of what he’s like and maybe put the idea in his head of asking you out? Hang around some guy you like who seems nice??? Madness! Why, doing something wild like that is bound to increase your chances of DATING THE GUY! If you nailed some dude he would hate to find out you got involved with (because he cares about you and that guy was a bastard), well—it’s his fucking fault. Shoulda known better, retard.
NO, HE CAN’T MAKE A DECISION
If you are the kind of woman I am, . . .
EVEN HIS THOUGHTS ARE YOURS
“WHAT’RE YOU THINKING? WHAT’RE YOU THINKING? WHAT’RE YOU THINKING?“—Think that question is out-of-bounds as typical (even everyday) fare in a relationship? Hell no!! Big Brother tried to control the peoples thoughts, didn’t he? So why shouldn’t you, too? (Let’s go back to Feminism 101 here—every abuse of patriarchy that made it bad is something feminism has to incorporate to be effective—if you didn’t know this basic principle already, just keep your lip zipped about it and don’t do anything to embarrass yourself on this subject anymore—just let the Big Sisters set you straight) If a man looks very pensive and thoughtful, he may be going through something he is trying to figure out—sure, they say men like to deal with things this way sometimes, but does this mean you should let him follow his natural inclination and do what h wants to do??? Hell, no! Who knows what he’s thinking when he is not reporting it to you! He may be thinking about his life, the relationship, or God knows what else! Do you really want to risk letting him get into the habit of having his own little unsupervised life, thoughts, and identity? Get your hockey-stick in there and go after that puck, girlfriend!
(continued)
Some people will say “Just don’t worry about it, and learn to think about something else.” Well, worry about it! Project every little insecurity and fear you have into that little 30-second to 5-minute span of him sitting there innocently and quietly by himself—you’re probably totally justified!!!
In short: Asking him “What’re you thinking?” even as many as three times a day is not too much, even if he doesn’t seem to like it.
SHOULD YOU INVITE 6 OR 7 OTHER GUYS YOU’VE FUCKED TO YOUR WEDDING
Are they still hot??? Then do you even have to ask?! One of those guys may end up being “the one” some day—you don’t want to risk skunking up the relationship with him by committing the faux pas of not inviting him to your wedding, clearly the biggest day of your life.
Do not worry about any little romantic notions the groom may have—remember, he’s there for you, not the other way around! If he has any objections, he’s just being silly, and its perfectly alright to tell him so—how else will you resist the invidious domination of patriarchy?
This is another great example of flexible standards. You should always resist asking yourself “Is this okay?” and “Would I like him to do it if it were him instead of me?” when making a decision of how to act toward him—it’s totally irrelevant. Of course, you probably wouldn’t at all allow him to pal around with his ex-girlfriends, which makes perfect sense.
DON’T COMMUNICATE WITH HIM ABOUT SEX
Think about it—what would you really rather do? Find a great, nice, but imperfect guy who really respects you and is motivated to please you, begin an egalitarian relationship, and communicate with him about what each of you likes back and forth until he learns how to please you the best, or, spend your whole life chasing after guys who can do it on the first try, but who look down on you and who are never going to be interested in settling down with you, until you end up a lonely old crone? Obviously, most of us would prefer to play the roulette wheel forever, so this tip is a great one for separating the wheat from the chaff: if you’ve got a guy who does something wrong, just don’t help him—why put yourself through the embarrassment? If the sexual experience you have with him isn’t worth it, you’ll just dump him.

how cool that when Alexander the Great arrived in Egypt, the Pyramids of Giza were already thousands of years old
despite the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx being swamped by tourist its was still amazing to see for a second time
(continued)
STOP HAVING SEX AFTER MARRIAGE
If you’re smart enough to be reading this book, you probably believe that the principal (re: only) sincere interest a man can have in you is the sexual act. So what better way to annoy him than to stop having sex with him once he has bound himself to you socially, legally, or religiously? It’s a laugh riot!
Some girls say you should work out problems by trying to find someone you are sure you are sexually compatible with before marrying them, or that you should communicate with your man to smooth out any bumps in the road about what kind of sex you want to have with him or how often you want to have sex—i.e., you should find a man who respects you enough so that he will be willing to accommodate your tastes in sex. Well that is total hooey and madness. If you are willing to acknowledge that as a reasonable goal, then how do you rationalize the freaky gymnastics we all realize we MUST go through as a necessary prerequisite / desperate tactic to “get” the “right” man in the first place??? See Simple Rule 2-- “When should you first have sex?”—above. Remember, then, sex wasn’t ultimately about you having pleasing sex, either—rather it was about getting him to submit to your control.
The better course than to do all that talking and dealing with someone you’re (ostensibly) committing the rest of your life to is to just totally bail out when you stop liking what you have gotten yourself into.
SHOULD YOU NAME YOUR KIDS WEIRD NAMES
This is up to you, of course—but probably you should. Think about it: how else are children supposed to develop a sense of worth and capability as they grow to experience life and tackle its challenges—through talents and skills they have acquired and developed, and through experience they’ve gained? YEAH, RIGHT! What a kid needs to surely give him or her a feeling of worth or achievement is a gonzo gimmick arbitrarily picked out for them by someone else, and failing that, just buy them whatever they ask for to keep them quiet.
Remember, think of your children as kind of like an extension of your man—they are just little dolls that exist to keep you happy, so you can do whatever you want with them, including any name you want.

Racists for Obama?
New polling and a trickle of stories from the battleground states suggest that Sen. Barack Obama's coalition includes one unlikely group: white voters with negative views of African-Americans.
Race has become the elephant in the room of the 2008 presidential campaign, with Obama’s prospect of becoming the first black president drawing some Americans closer to him while pushing others away. At times, the contest has slipped into a familiar dynamic of allegations of racism and outraged denial — but it's also challenged some easy assumptions about race, racism and prejudice.
“What you see is it’s perfectly possible to hold a negative view of at least one aspect of African-Americans and yet simultaneously prefer Obama,” said Charles Franklin, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “Racial feelings are not as cut and dried — not as black and white — as people often say.”
Now putzoid and the other trolls can vote for Obama.
All that sex talk and Saturday is here. I would like some of that again before i die.
