So called repressed people who decry bigotry really irritate me, so I just want to withold support
to their causes right now ..... and of course, explain that this is entirely their own fault- for making their cause so unattractive to me.
Gosh i'm asked to walk on eggshells and they don't think they even have to ask nicely for basic human rights. Sheesh. Why do they insist on my respect, because it just forces me to withdraw all that completely silent support I kept locked deep inside me.

I'd support them 100% if they never looked at me funny, or required me to make an iota of effort. I'd be there in a fucking heartbeat.
Maybe someday when there's a GBLT version of Martin Luther KIng, I'll jump on the train and stop telling fag jokes, mostly because my friends won't laugh anymore, we're sheeple when it comes to these things. It's the zeitgeist, not me. But until that day, leave me alone to scratch my balls and laugh at you for being second class, and because you annoy me for even wanting respect.



(most of you can tell this is sarcastic, but unfortunately, there's nothing here that hasn't been expressed this week on these boards.)

3. I find it necessary...
more often these days to abstain from DU. When I start seeing the traits of human behavior I hate the most...in me...it's time to go. Other 'discussion' sites await, but I have a hard time letting go of this place. So many have taught me so much, but most of them are no longer here. Perhaps I've stayed too late at this party.

10. Your post reminds me
of why I am so glad Rosa Parks gave her seat up and moved to the back of the bus.

She sure did know her place. She kept her mouth shut, knew that she acquired all the rights she ever needed, and kept her big mouth shut.

13. I'm glad we're learning the same lessons when it comes to our "so called" minority.
I'll be sure to pass it on to the kids, since they never get picked on, nor do GLBT kids have high suicide rates or anything. Hey, I think I actually agree with Reagan. Didn't he talk about "tickle down" something or another?

14. those kids have got to "get over it" and make happy for the man! he's had a hard day at work
but maybe if we tape the kids mouths shut, pretty ourselves up and crawl over to him with a sixer, we can get him to give us a little something.

Just like the RWers do.

Of course, none of this would be a problem if we just accepted our place so we could laugh at ourselves.

26. I call for a hiatus in the fight against bigotry.
After all, if we think about anything other than stopping the war, we're focused on "fluff" issues.

So, I recommend you all just take some Tai Kwan Do lessons. Butch up, you pansies!

41. How about this?
Edited on Sun Feb-11-07 03:12 PM by donco6
Oh PLEASE, PLEASE help us to gain our rights. Even though they are rights and should not have to be begged for . . . we do it anyway! Because that's the kind of people we are.

We PROMISE to be good and not offend anyone ever ever again! In fact, we promise not to offend anyone by pointing out offensive bigotry, which might cause them to have to think for a minute about whether they may be harboring bigoted thoughts. That might offend THEM! So we won't ever do that again, either.

And we PROMISE not to become the least bit upset with anyone ever again if they post what some might say are outright bigoted posts. Because it may only be bigoted from our perspective, and we have to honor the rights of those who wish to post such things. Even if they are hurtful to us - we will NEVER EVER complain again.

We acknowledge that others know what is offensive to us, even better than we know it ourselves.

Now, as brother to brother in this utterly emasculated struggle for rights that should be ours already, will you join with us?

40. I knew it!
The secret to change is to never challenge anyone to acknowledge, change, or learn about injustice!

Because if we just leave things be, things will always change for the better.

Right?

Spontaneous de-douchebaggery is bound to occur!
