The homophobic thread :>

[Mr.B]

"If you want to read your "special" friend homerfobe's posts be my guest, it's not for me to like or dislike."

My "special friend"...? It appears it's you he has a special affinity for. Of course you have a way of attracting "special friends".
Yep, he's got your number...for real.

[O Really]

<sigh>......

O Really, I am not prejudiced against homosexuals, or rednecks. Again, I disapprove of their lifestyle; and I suppose some of that could be applied to "redneckinesss"...you know, that beer-gut, mullet hair thingy.

I'm prejudiced against rednecks. And I disapprove of their lifestyle as well as their very existence. Why is it so hard for you to admit your own prejudice? Next you'll be saying "I've got nothing against homosexuals - some of my best friends are homosexuals." C'mon, man, you think what you think, and you believe what you believe. Nobody else has a vote on that but you. But you can't have it both ways. It's an irrational prejudice, just like mine.

[Mr.B]

Why is it so hard for you to admit your own prejudice?
Because I don't have a prejudice against them as a person.

Next you'll be saying "I've got nothing against homosexuals - some of my best friends are homosexuals."
I have some acquaintances that are homosexuals; they know I disapprove of their lifestyle; but they didn't ask for my approval to begin with.

C'mon, man, you think what you think, and you believe what you believe. Nobody else has a vote on that but you. But you can't have it both ways. It's an irrational prejudice, just like mine.
All I can say is "we all know what they say about opinions".

[neoplacebo]

I'm prejudiced against stupidity, rednecks, bullshit, car salesmen, and most health foods. I have no rational explanation for it; it's not a religious thing or a racial thing or a sexual thing. It's sort of like Doc Holliday in the Wyatt Earp movie says....."Yes, I'm sure of it. I hate him."

[Mr.B]

"You can fix it all if you want. Just post, without your usual weaseling, "While I still disapprove of homosexuality, I support their full equality in all law and policy." Do that and all our arguments end, no one cares about your obsessive feelings. I won't hold my breath.

Since you were so busy bastardizing (© Boatrocker, rstrong) every one of my posts, it's no surprise that you are so blinded by your obsession to "gays", that you couldn't/wouldn't see I've said that already; but not in your "cherry-picked" wording.

Now...the laughable part...you put Homerfobe on ignore?!? You said "Not if he thinks I'm reading his posts like you are."
Too funny! Guess you don't like his "In your face, telling it like it is", huh?
I don't agree with him or his postings by any means, but he sure knows how to get you highly pizzed off!!
He for sure doesn't care about your "obsessive feelings".
(this is your cue to lie and deny he even got to you.....)

[k9nanny]

it's perfectly legal and constitutional to discriminate against people for expressing odious views, and it's not irrational to think that those views are odious.

No it's not. People with odious views can't be denied the rights to vote, bear arms, or practice their religion of choice. Fortunately, that free speech thingie means we, and those whose odiousness offends us, are legally free to express our opinions.

[bannination]

I think every word from Homerphobe can be ignored.

I believe he stated that he's black. Which makes his case much sadder and not without a sense of irony, since people stood up for his rights when it wasn't cool by any means to do so, but he will sit idly by and do it to another group. I guess everyone likes to hate another group.

He's either a total retard, or a troll. Either way, I don't see how anything he could write would be a contribution.


Glad to see you're still kicking K9!!

How to be a good Democrat

You have to believe the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.
You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.
You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat, than U.S. nuclear weapons technology, in the hands of Chinese communists.
You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.
You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the earth's climate, and more affected by yuppies driving SUVs.
You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.
You have to be against capital punishment but support abortion on demand.
You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.
You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists who've never been outside of Seattle do.
You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.
You have to believe the military, not corrupt politicians, start wars.
You have to believe the NRA is bad, because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good, because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.

Why don't faggots shop at Sports Authority or Academy Sports?
They prefer Dicks.

"How to be a good Democrat"

I've seen this before, but had forgotten about it; it's good "taunt the Dems" material!

There's more:

"How to be a good Democrat" (pt.2)

You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinmen are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson,
General Robert E. Lee or Thomas Edison.

You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides aren't.

You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried, is because the right people haven't been in charge.

You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and sex-offender have the right to be in the White House.

You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites, and bestiality should be constitutionally protected and manger scenes at Christmas and displays of the Cross should be illegal.

You have to believe that illegal Democratic party funding by the Chinese is somehow in the best interest of the United States.

How to identify the current GOP:

Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to each:

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread
domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.

6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.

9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.

11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.

12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

14. Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

Yes, I know it's a joke intended to "taunt the Dems." But associating two totally unrelated issues as if they were mutually exclusive doesn't even make as much sense as the average lawyer or "priest, rabbi, and minister in the bar" joke. Just so I know you understand your own humour, could you explain the relationship between taxes and ATM fees? Or explain where anybody thinks that manger scenes, etc. should be "illegal" except on government property? As you know, I'm a long-time ACLU member, been on case selection committees, etc., and I couldn't come up with anywhere anybody tried to make it illegal for you to have a manger, a cross, in your yard or at your business, or a plastic Jesus on the dashboard of your car.

Lawyer jokes portray a stereotype, sometimes to the extreme, but are generally based on some level of truth. There really are "ambulance chasers." There really are some sleaze bags. People frequently resent the fees and the snotty attitudes. But it wouldn't be much of a joke to say "to be a lawyer, you have to believe the world is flat and a basketball is round." And that's what the originator of your list did.
