OMG THAT'S HORRIBLE.  :rolleyes:



Actually the horrible bit was how presumably his parents taught him to act hatefully on a day that people honor the struggles that gay people have vis-a-vis discrimination.

you are gay

Dammit, defeated by the well timed counter attack again.

:lol: I think the 9th ruled on some simular, but I really dont pay attention. Y'all lawyer types might know.


Who cares Garbon. The kid's an idiot. Dont get your dander up.

There's a day for that?

Still, gays are generally pretty bad.  It's a shame that they decided to adopt acting like a teenage girl and making it their 'culture'.
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'll never get this. School uniforms are the norm over here and even in Scotland, where they're not common, schools can send kids home if they're in 'inappropriate' clothes.

I don't know if this would count as inappropriate but regardless of the message it seems weird to me.

Also I love principled sticklers like the ACLU :lol:
Let's bomb Russia!

I never wore my "Too many Christians, too few lions" shirt to school as I was pretty sure that they would send me home...or as they had done to other students before, make me turn my shirt inside out.

Actually my primary interest was what I stated from the start - I was surprised by the notion that schools would just let kids wear whatever they want as that wasn't my experience.

As a lesser interest, I kinda care and feel sad about situations wear minors have been taught hate by their parents.

Yeah a fucked up day called "Day of Silence". Supposedly it is supposed to show people what it'd be like if gay people didn't exist as participants also are mute for the day.  Seems to me though more like a day just to make sure fags are seen but not heard.  Though I did like it in college getting be out of discussion sections.

That might happen if the USA wasn't so convinced on preventing gays from having grown up relationships.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Who taught you to act hateful?  You act hateful everyday.

It's always out of love though. Kinda like Neil and Seedster. :hug:
