You know, maybe it’s just the cold talking, but I’m tired of this shit.
@Woodman, you went from me mentioning that I had seen this sticker around, to accusing me of judging everyone else.
You then loaded that Chip on Your Shoulder ™ up and started blasting away.
There’s several ways I could handle this. I could do what I’ve done in the past, and go away for a few months, maybe longer.
Not this time. Because I didn’t do anything wrong, so I don’t see where I need to be punished.
[quote=“Woodman, post:41, topic:556”]I really think that you think I care that you are homosexual, I really don’t. I think that you believe that my friends and the people I deal with on a regular basis would treat you differently because of this. And I can tell you, except for one dude, you’d be wrong.

And no matter how many times you say it, that still won’t make what you say reality.
But what I think does bother you is that I represent everything that you think is wrong with society. You’ve bitched and whined about the homeless, the poor, the disabled… That those with the least amount of money or power are supposedly at fault for everything, and are secretly scheming against you. You do the same with Democrats, liberals, and progressives.
You used those labels. You. I said the labels don’t mean shit because nobody knows what they mean anyway.
I have been hearing, for several years now, white, middle-class, heterosexuals whine about how they are being oppressed by minorities and all their Big Money Backers ™. San Francisco has tons of them, who also whine about how the gays are forcing them out, as they move into the city in droves to be in the middle of all the start-ups and bullshit.
If we were to total up the number of times you mention your wife or kids, and then me mentioning being gay, I wonder what the totals would look like. Actually, no I don’t, because we both know what they would look like.
You keep telling yourself that you are not prejudiced. Every time you open your mouth about the current administration, versus the previous one that nearly bankrupted the country, you prove it.
As a few of us have pointed out before, your opinion of “them” is well-known. You make damned sure of that. That little bit about
is pure, utter bullshit. The constant bitching about “them” proves it.
You are the one who originally created the title of this thread. I have to wonder what the hell you were thinking, when you play the same cover-them-with-shit-until-it-sticks that the useless jackasses in the nation’s capitol, and every state capitol, use to keep you from asking the tough questions.
Ethics? Liberals! Budget? Progressives! Deficit? Democrats! Sex scandal? Socialists! Child molestation? Satanic Tax and Spend Communists! With Eggbeaters!
Yeah, ridiculous. It always has been and always will be, until people stop acting as like an organic echo chamber.
But I am really sick of feeling like you’re pointing the crosshairs at me, and a few others, every time you bitch about one group or another, which happens to include people on this site. It’s been made plain on several occasion that there are people who disagree with you on certain subjects.
And the way you turn it into an attack on everything American is just a symptom of the stupid, useless political game that you continue to play, just like the legislators and appointed officials you so strongly despise.
You’re not chasing me away again, @Woodman.We all, except @Lee_Ars, have the same “right” to be here. Which is none, as it is his site. The rest of us are simply guests here, and our invitations can be revoked at any time, singly or by the gross.
And knock off the whining. Every time you use “it’s not fair”, all you’re really saying is that you aren’t getting your way, that reality is not ordering itself according to your specs.
Well, that’s why it’s called reality. There really are people who are homeless through no fault of their own. There really are people who are poor through no fault of their own and despite their best efforts. And yes, for the final time, there really are people who work for minimum wage. And damn few of them have a choice in the matter.
The way that you are so out of touch with virtually every strata in our society is mind-boggling.
