    All i want is NOT to have to see them being intimate. What is wrong with that ???
    Just who is being intimate in that banner ad? Its the same guy, mirrored. Is he being intimate with himself? No.

    The laws of physics, in specific thermodynamics, don't apply to Lesbian kisses.

    Einsteins less talked about law or sth.

    Is all relativity, tbh.

    Unless comparing with something at 0K everything is hot or cool relative to something else (unless its the same temperature).

    There is no spoon. Therefore it cannot be hot or cool.

    Etc.

    It's all quite simple. Coolness (C) within the range of young female humans is proportional to Lesbianism (λ) multiplied by propensity for being photographed by Tanya Chalkin (Φ) divided by over-exposure of some of Chalkin's work* (X).

    Hotness (H) is merely proportional to the propensity for being photographed by Tanya Chalkin (Φ) divided by over-exposure of some of Chalkin's work (X).

    Now. Since H ∝ Φ/X and C ∝ λΦ/X. Obviously C = λHk for some constant k.

    Ergo.
    1. All the cool girls are lesbians.
    2. All the cool lesbians are hot.
    3. All the hot lesbians are cool.
    4. Some hot girls are cool - because they are also lesbians. Some are merely hot.
    This is all to the great benefit of young lesbians. Those of us who are male and either straight or bi can seek solace because:
    1. When we're young enough to be attracted to girls hormones are a-raging and we're focusing on hotness (H).
    2. Bi girls get to be cool too.
    3. When we're a older and interested in women rather than girls the formula has changed. While all the cool girls are lesbian, the cool women are from the entire range of sexual orientations. (See, Amz can be too cool for school as well as not a lesbian - as long as she's too old for school too - and need not find offense in LiouVille's advert. Otherwise she would have to be satisfied with being hot).

    *As in you see that poster everywhere, not as in darkroom mishaps†.

    †No, not the kind of darkroom mishaps that, for example, lead to three people being barred from the photography club back in my schooldays, besides if memory serves that was one girl and two guys‡.

    I think ice-cream is unnatural - but I am not anti-ice-cream. Oh no sir.

    I personally think its not natural, i don't think people are wrong to do it, i don't think they should be seen as any less people to do it, i don't have anything against anyone doing it. I don't see the two views conflicting.

    Its my own personal opinion and i'm sorry if you do't agree with me. Maybe i simply don't care enough about it to try and learn any different but at the moment thats my view.

    I'm sorry if that offends anyone.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 231 ✭✭McClane


    I haven't felt this upset reading a Thread since I last visited stormfront. I just can't put into words how I feel at this moment. All i'm trying to do is organise a night out, maybe help some people who arn't comfortable with the scene meet like minded people.

    I'm sorry for the rantings, just a combination of a bad day at work and i honestly thought the ad in question cold be toned down.

    I won't post again about it Louiville, i never meant to attack what your organising, just got carried away with some people.

    I think one of McClane's problems is that he doesn't know the difference between a post, a link, a site and a cite. Whatever, at least his employer now knows he is not gay, but is a homophobe (look that word up, Mc).

    Oh, and 'McClane' is not a gay handle? Lethal Weapon was so teh ghey. rolleyes.gif

    Computers are not natural. Modern medicine is not natural. Clothes are not natural. Sheesh. confused.gif

    DeV.

    Someone posted a link to a freedictionary (or similar) definition for bigotry. One of the 100 or so definitions included the word 'paedophile'. Obviously, this meant that that person was justifying paedophila.
    Computers are not natural. Modern medicine is not natural. Clothes are not natural. Sheesh.

    Homosexuality IS, though. Otherwise, people would not do it...

    Yes he can. It's his opinion he can post any opinion he wants without references or explanation.

    Personally I could do without the bender banners but c'est la vie.

    Well, I suppose technically he can. What I meant to say is that he can't do it without looking silly.

    And are you trying to be deliberately offensive with "bender banners", or are you just a bit clueless?

    Oh wait, so if I'm gay I can call other gays "Queer" and advertise a "Queer Beers" but if I'm not gay I have to be absolutely political correct?

    Are you actually a bigot or just a bit clueless?

    First, "queer" is an example of word reclaimation, to an extent. "Bender" is not. Secondly, "Queer Beers" is meant in a joking context. Was what you said? :)

    Ah of course the word reclamation argument. You sisters taking control eh! And who defines what word get reclaimed? I'm sure "****" is akin to "******" and the latter has been reclaimed. Why can't I start a reclamation and begin calling it "**** Beers" or "**** Banners". Of course you couldn't take that as deliberately offensive. It's word reclamation meant in a joking context!
    Secondly, "Queer Beers" is meant in a joking context. Was what you said? :)

    The point I'm making is regardless of my context you immediately construed a comment made by one of the non-homosexual parade to be offensive and retorted with an attempt at a snide insult when infact you're sticking up banners everywhere with similar comments flashing on them and of course it's all in good fun, not a second thought given because they're made by yourselves.

    Maybe they should advertise the next boards beer as "STRAIGHT BEERS!!!!"

    meant in a joking context of course.

    One thing I've always found with the majority of people in minority groups is they're the first to accuse others of being intolerable, racist or bigoted when infact they should take a closer look at themselves.

    However this is all off-topic.

    .logic.

    .

    No, I took it as someone TRYING to be offensive, which I find a little irritating. If you meant it as a joke, then I apologise, but there really was some ambiguity. And I'm sticking up banners nowhere ;)
