Well of course there is always the question of who is theh bigot in
these matters.

People who issue judgements upon others but are unable to handle the
same judgements being passed upon themselves are at least hypocrites.

For example, A certain poster has seen fit to fabricate posts purporting
to be from me that would seek to 'expose' me as a whiny little
snowflake, about to burst into tears, if I remember correctly.

And yet isn't that exactly what the 'militant gay' community comes
across as?


Either 'feelings' are precious, or they are not.

The miltant gay community seek to protect their feelings with
legislation, and drive a cart and horses across the sensiibilities of
e.g. traditional Christians.

Withing a given social context, one may make judgements, but one cannot
be excused from having the same judgements nmade against one win that
same social context.

If the 'feelings' of  the 'LBGT community' are so darned precious, so
too must the heterosexual christian communities feelings be so
protected. We can all live in a walled kindergarten and play with
rainbow coloured balls...protected from each other by barriers of
legislation so no one evber gets hurt or called nasty names.



And if you want to engage in the sort of dialogue that makes one
person's feelings more precious than another person's, be prepared for a
rough time.

There is of course a furher myth propqagated by the so called
progressive left, in that change is good, and what worked last year is
old fashioned and bigoted.

I believe they are developing cars based on square wheels that drive on
the Left  especially for the USA  as round wheels and driving on the
right is simply unfashionable and bigoted...

Those that live by the sword shall die by it. Judge, and so shall you be
judged.

*shrug* shoot the messenger. I am dead already. But the message is
simple. What feels good is not necessarily good.

Whores are easy to meet, and smack is a packet of bliss.

Adopting someone else's prepackaged opinions whether they date back to
the stone age, or were invented yesterday, is just another piece of
bigotry.

Thinking for yourself is harder. So hard that no one believes it
happens. All they know is prepackaged opinons.
*shrug* well plenty of those can get you killed.

Living so that you do not rush for the security of other peoples'
support is even harder.

Tomlinson is an arsehole.

But then so are you.

Accept it and move on. No one has a monopoly  on the truth, or what is
right and wrong.

Opinion is divided as to whether whiny little shits need comforting and
taking to bed, or being given a slap round the head and a kick up the arse.

In all probability either will get them the attention they crave.

the ultimate consequences to which these principles will lead. They must
face it, then decide whether this is what they want or not.
