See, this is why the concept of 'rights' is meaningless.
Are you saying there is no right to bear/bare boobs?
That's right.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I always get a good laugh at the thought of Marti being treated with the same intolerance he shows to others.

I don't see how any of that makes sense.
Marti is all for equal treatment, but he denies to other.

Two guys kissing is disgusting.  Breastfeeding is not.
My rights >> Marti's rights.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

I don't think he denies "to other." Has Marti said that heterosexuals shouldn't be able to kiss in public? How is a baby sucking on a breast similar to people kissing? :huh:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

That is some bad memory there Garbon.  You ought to get that checked.  Besides Grallon, who wants to send minorities to camps, Marti is the most intolerant member of Languish - and its a close call between Marti and Grallon.

In fairness Marti also disagrees with people kissing in public :mellow:

Ah, so then all of what Viper said is moot.

@CC - That might be the case but still I wasn't aware that Marti said gays should be able to kiss in public but heteros cannot.

They better make public urination a civil right too. Sometime you just gotta go. Stupid judgemental starbucks staff <_<


:P

You think breastfeeding is the same public urination? What are you, Marty?

Of course they are not the same. Everyone has to urinate. On the other hand, if the whore didn't spread her legs or if she used a condom or a coat hanger, she wouldn't have to breastfeed.

A better example for marti would be the banning of open toed shoes :P

I'm fine with that. Most people have ugly feet. And yeah, as Sheilbh pointed out, I'm not a big fan of PDAs, whether practiced by gays, straights or in between.

I'm actually even annoyed by people holding hands in public places, as this obstructs pedestrian traffic.

MadImmortalMan

Is any of this serious enough to actually use to power of the state to ban it though?


Hell, I'd like to see people stop doing all of the above in public, including wearing flip-flops. But banning it? Nah.

I don't especially care to see it or find it sexual in any way, but there's no cause to ban it.  I almost never see it, anyway.

Think of it this way: there's a good chance of both going down a manhole.  SHE WOULDNT LET GO

How many manholes are on sidewalks? :unsure:

edit: Oh but Marti doesn't want anyone down that. :blush:
