Don't Open Carry

[cebeu]

I want to see gays open carry...in a parade.

[Irving]

That might be a parade worth going to, for a few minutes. I hate parades.

See, I told you this group was just nothing but class.

I'm not trolling. I'm bottom fishing... (yeah, yeah, I know I should pull anchor and get off your reef, right?)

OK. From now on I promise to only talk about things the "community" wants to talk about. No more irritating subjects and the like. I promise I won't even think of using verbiage. From now on I will just post pretty pictures...

God, I love Starbucks!!!

I read your rebuttal and what comes to mind is this thought. "Just because you're gay, doesn't mean you should have a parade about it."

I agree that there is a difference between doing something, and doing something to purposely make a big deal about it.

I got what you were saying from the start, and I think no matter how many times you try and break something down to the simplest explanation for people, they are just not going to get it.

He gets it. He's too well spoken not to. Everyone called him a troll in this thread, so he's just acting the part. Fortunately, he isn't in the other threads I've seen him post in.

I don't.

I don't.

Me either!

You are calling me gay? Now I know I am welcome. Thank you!

See, here I'm fairly certain that you're just pulling his chain, but in case I'm wrong - Stuart makes a good point - which, I believe, is the same point you were trying to make in your posts (but failed miserably in the delivery og the first attempt) - Throwing your beliefs into the face of others is no way to get them to appreciate those beliefs.

No, you are calling me gay.

really? I mean, really?!

I believe that you are correct.

Now you're just being ridiculous. It's not what you say that is considered offensive but how you choose to say it. We're always open to considering different ideas, but if you come off with a tone that implies you disagree with the basic philosophies shared by members of this site.

Sorta puts a whole new face on the term "militant gays"; don't it?!

All your points are understood and well taken.
My big problem is I haven't developed a very good filter yet. I just write and then send. Not the first time it's gotten me into trouble. No more diatribes for me for a while - too taxing and I am getting to old to do things that make my blood pressure go up too much.

Thanks.
