To bash someone for being gay is just as bad a bashing someone for their race or gender. There are lines we as people shouldn't cross, human rights is that line IMO!
So we shouldn't say things like, "Make me a sammich, woman"? I mean, that's bashing someone for their gender, and yet it seems pretty fine to most people on here to cross that line all the time.
I don't really like sleeper's schtick, but I'm in the camp that it's better to ignore/grow thicker skin than it is to moderate everything. if you don't like him, just click the ignore button. Problem solved.

Good point here.
Honestly, that was funny when the first person did it, then it got overused and legitimately had a few threads take on sexist tones.
It seems to have gone away, thankfully. Stuff like that bothers me even as jokes because I come from a small town where way too many people (including relatives) actually think that way, but I just click away.

No I wasn't implying that, read a few post down where I discuss joking with gay, sex, and race. There is a line, somethimes it can be too fine I won't disagree about that but joking is one thing and I do it alot but the key is to do it without malice you know? Saying things to shock and offend is another.

You're right, it is my forum. I think I am pretty fucking lenient on what I allow to go on here. Gay bashing is one thing that doesn't sit right with me. You can intelligently debate all you want about what rights you think gays are allowed to enjoy but to discuss it in such a moronic, middle-school way while openly bashing people isn't going to fly. If that's a cop out, so be it. I don't really give a shit.

By the "there is a line, sometimes it can be too fine", you mean its crossed whenever I feel its crossed, and not when you don't. If no "gay bashing" is allowed, then why should any other bashing be allowed? I get made fun of all the time on here, I don't care, sometimes its pretty funny. I don't go QQ to the mods all the time because someone was being offensive, maybe I should start, but that would be pointless.
Anyone that takes offense on an internet forum is a second class citizen(and apparently is gay), and you can take that to the bank.

This is where you missed the bus to school Sleeper. There is a difference, if you want to call it bashing fine, between joking and bashing. Joking yes certainly can be offensive to some but is generally taken with some form of text surrounding it. You flat out bashed to offend and shock!sleeper;411469 wrote:By the "there is a line, sometimes it can be too fine", you mean its crossed whenever I feel its crossed, and not when you don't.

Well QQ. Sorry that I don't feel n**gers should be allowed to vote, and if they don't like it they can take your ill-contrived advice and find another country, and you can take that to the bank.
Hey look, sleeper found a time machine!

Fab1, sleeper will never have an intelligent view on something, thats why i wish someone would just give him the ax now and be done with it. All he has ever done on here is bash on people or certain topics. In his point of view you have to bash or make fun of gays so kids wont dream of being behind another man, what sense does that make?

No doubt in my mind sleeper would be a giant racist if we went back in time.
Buy hey, it's cool, he goes to Ohio State. So he's better than all of us!

Gay is a behavior not a race. Nice try though, pretty good attempt.

It's also a "protected" class in the working world. So when you become some big shot boss with your OSU degree you won't be able to fire people for being gay. Ha!

You can blame the people on this forum accepting gay butt sex for that. Pretty sad.

are you? you're crying and bitching about the politics forum. one would think with an OSU education, you might be able to hold a decent, civilized conversation in the politics forum and not have an issue. clearly that isnt the case.

Why hold a decent civilized convo when you can get your point across by just using the word "faggot"? I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince a bunch of homo's and their supporters that homosexuality shouldn't be allowed any more rights than it already has.
And way to bring up my education again, I know you're jealous, that sucks. LOL

Or, with his education he could start his own website on his hatred for gays but thatd probably go down the road of gibby's epic failure with his site.
I didnt realize people on this forum was accepting butt sex?
