Guessing they were not politically correct.

But they were funny. Whatever happened to laughter? It all seems illegal or immoral, at least according to the PC police.

To: Veto!

Like many of you, I have not seen this movie, I’m sitting here reading your posts and I am sincerely dismayed that people such as you still exist. Prejudice and intolerance are the constructs of simple minds, and come from people who do not see past their own existence. This disdain is perpetuated by the ignorance of people, who cannot, or chose not to realize that for some, the world is a much different place than that in which they live. Today the issue of homosexuality, albeit primarily in males, mirrors the racial inequities and religious persecutions faced in yesterday society, and I’m sure both are still alive and kicking. I’m sure that there was a time when many people of color would have preferred to put on a “white suite” in order to escape from a societies’ stigmas. This are only minor differences, many millions of people live in fear of what retributions they might have to face if the general public knew they were gay. Would they lose their job? Would their family consider them an outcast?

I am sure that there are many of you out there, in heterosexual relationships, with spouses that have a love affair. Sometimes circumstances get in the way, and it isn’t what’s intended, but our heart takes control.

You’re full of such hatred, using quotations to spread your bigotry (i.e. “cowboys” and “men”) and you take puns at a gay man’s masculinity having him refer to himself as a princess. Were you to replace the slur “gay” in any of those posting, with “nigger” or “jew” would you be as apt to post?

To quote open posting, “I've had it with their cynical game of giving us family entertainment with the one hand while pushing deviant agendas with the other, and denying that they're doing it.” I don’t believe anyone is trying to push any deviant agenda your way. I believe the authors’ intention might have been to be a voice speaking out against oppression and intolerance.

Here’s the statement I thought was the funniest!

Laughter is a good thing, especially if we can laugh at ourselves, but using an entire group of people, human beings, just like you and me, for our own amusement THAT IS immoral.

I don’t know, maybe all blondes are dumb, maybe women don’t deserve the right to vote, and perhaps we should still have slaves in the South. A society of fascists could be ideal, isn’t that what Hitler was going for, we can just force our views on everyone and get rid of those that differ.

But please people, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, learn how to proof read before you post as all the misspellings make you seem more idiotic than what you write.
