the premis is that they are homosexuals in denial but the candy bar brought them "out".

That and the overreaction.

[NoCurrentFreeperByThatName]

Question. Which are worse, the callouses on your knuckles or on your palms?

Hahaha! Thats hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.

I thought it was funny. Isn't that the way two straight men would act let's be real. How about when John Candy and Chevy Chase were on a road trip lying in bed with each other and then realzing who they were in bed with didn't they jump up and say how's those packers our something like that. Who cares

Over at my house, we thought the commercials were pretty funny.



ooookay.

This is a bit off the point but I can't resist - from now on we should only refer to these bipeds as homosexuals.

Good point. Never give the other guy the dictionary.

[lentulusgracchus]

You know, I have heard from a number of very well educated people that when men become "disgusted" or react in an overly strong fashion to homosexual subject matter, it is because they harbor a self loathing based on their own most private feelings.....................

That's a stock gay argument intended to suppress the reactions of others.

Your "very well educated people" were probably a) liberal or b) gay themselves and having you on.

How would you know????????

(not that there's anything wrong with that.......)

(No, not at all)

Are you trying to convince me, or yourself?

How would you know????????

By encountering it in use by gay "werewolf" posters both here and on Salon's "TableTalk", and by reading about its uses in the infamous "manual" article on mau-mauing the straights, "Overhauling Straight America" (Hunter Madsen et al.), that eventually became After the Ball.

Read up on it a bit. It's classic propaganda. These guys don't discuss, they don't expound, they don't advocate -- they play dirty and they play to win, and when you engage with them, you're fighting it out for the ownership of the future. They're determined to own it -- and to lock all those pious religionists in their own churches. They're determined that observant Christians and Jews will become the new "closet cases". They are flat vicious.

But maybe you knew that.

Are you trying to convince me, or yourself?

The lurkers, the people who read but don't know the issues, don't know the blackbelt stuff, the appeals to motive, to ego, to sympathy, or, as Marlon Brando once said, "what have you got?"
