Abstract hate. Have you ever heard of the term Wags? You should have, as you and several other posters are exhibiting it in this and other threads on the subject of gays.
ab·stract
Pronunciation: ab-'strakt, Function: adjective
1 a :
disassociated from any specific instance b : difficult to understand c : insufficiently factual :
hate
Pronunciation: 'hAt, Function: noun
1 a : intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from
fear, anger, or sense of injury b : extreme dislike or antipathy :
For instance, saying something as vile as
"Fuck you and anyone else (Bushice) who, explicitly or implicitly, tolerates fags. I hope they all die from AIDS.", no matter how you might actually feel about one group of people or another, is flat out bigotry. Now trust this, I'm not going to get on any soapbox to defend the gay lifestyle, however....racism, bigotry and irrational
abstract hatered is simply intolerable. I might not personally like the "lifestyle", I might just in fact, have a very personal reason to hold a level of animosity for gays. Yet, that would be generalizing, throwing a blanket statement of dislike for every member of said group. And that my dear Wags, is wrong. I have met and become casual friends with a couple of gay people in the course of my life, men and women. Not one of them was freakish, not one of them was a pedophile, not one of them were intent on "hitting on me". They were, and are, just good people who happen to live life in a manner which I happen to disagree with. Not hate, not wish death upon, just disagree. And therein lies the difference between an OCMike or myself, and someone like you, who's mind is warped by a level of hate that has no basis in rationality.
It's just impure and blind hate. An aversion of a group of people based on fear and fear alone. Would you wish this same level of hate on blacks? On Jews? For Christ's sake Wags, you're just a couple of goose-steps away from marching down Adolph Hitler Blvd.

Seriously, the comparison isn't really valid, as I doubt that many female muff-munchers are out on the streets trying to prey on under-aged girls. On the other hand, I know that fags are on the streets trying to pick-up under-aged boys.
You meant the lesbianism comment as a joke, yet deep down, you really mean it. So why the discrepancy? Gay is gay, right? And trust this Wags, while there is an element of gays that do indeed try to pick-up on the underaged, pedophiles come in straight colors as well. Being gay doesn't make you a ped. Being a ped does. They're two seperate issues. Keep 'em straight...so to speak. Also, lesbos cruise for kicks too. It isn't just a fag thing. And speaking of cruising, don't most red-blooded American males, and a few females, go cruising down "the strip" to pick up the opposite sex in youth? "American Graffitti" ring any bells?
For Bitchshice the fag lover, when those queers tried to pick me up, I told them what I always tell you... GFY.
Not to speak for Bushice, but I seriously doubt he is a "fag lover". Tolerance does not equate to love. Believe it or not, I am sympathetic to your story of trying to be hit on by gays. Being approached in an inappropriate manner is not only rude, it's wrong. So to a degree, albeit a small one, you may have a reason for disliking gay people. Dislike. Not hate. Remember, nothing happened to you. You weren't kissed, you weren't groped, you weren't raped. Wishing aids and death is a pretty damn extreme level of wrath for being "hit on", don't you think?
Oh wait, you don't think. That's the problem.
For Mace, tolerance of what consenting adults do behind closed doors is one thing, as long as they don't throw that shit up in my face celebrating their pervesity like it's some God given right. Then wanting tax breaks, legal unions, insurance benefits for their "spouse", adoption rights, etc.
I get sick of the supposedly "enlightened" trying to pass off an abomination as being acceptable behavior. I don't go out of my way to bash queers, but when the subject comes up, I'll voice my objections in no uncertain terms. While simply killing them all isn't an attractive option, they can damn sure go burn in hell as far as I'm concerned.
Again, while I don't condone gay behavior, (i.e. -- gay sex) as nescessarily acceptable, I am not going to vilify them for it either. Keep the sex in the bedroom where it belongs, and who cares. A little public kissing or hand holding...whatever. Just turn away. Wags, you're most certainly allowed, and should be, to voice your objections. That's the proud American way. But objection and bigotry are two seperate beasts, so try not to blur the lines. Try not to be so abstract in your unreasoning hatered.
I read this interesting article once, detailing why it is healthy to hate once in a while. Poptart would like it, as it has its' basis wrapped around Ecclesiastes. I couldn't have disagreed with the article more, yet I can see where the argument made sense. At least to those who let their raw emotions take sway over level-headed common sense. Here's the
link. Decide for yourself.
For Dins and Goobs: My daughter is a 100% dedicated and committed Christian. She despises homosexuality even worse than I do, if that's possible. She has a nice scholarship from a school called Evangel, you dimwits. Get it?
My head may explode someday, if she gives me the 6 grandchildren she's told me that she intends to have. I believe in her, as I haven't seen her fail once to accomplish what she's set as a goal. Would that you two losers (and myself) had even half her drive to succeed. We probably wouldn't be wasting our time posting on message boards.
I'm sure your daughter is a fine person. I'm sure she will succeed in what she endeavors. But dammit Wags, you dropped the fucking ball when it came to teaching her to hate in the abstract. Seriously, what would be your reaction if one day she declared her lesbianism? Would you disown her? Would you
hate her?
It is of course, not likely. But what if Wags. What if.
