Notice what? I don't think anyone reading any of my 410 threads and 14,956 replies here since 1998, or looking at my record of monthly donations over many years, would think I am a troll.
And frankly, even if you are the moderator, I resent the insinuation. Not to mention, I am disappointed that as a moderator you would support for one minute the kind of gay bashing that I am now taking issue with on this thread.
You sir, are out of line, in my opinion.
If that's how you feel then none of your complaints make any sense at all now.
I do, however, owe FR an apology for my using of God’s name in that fashion in the heat of the moment.
I regret that I said that.
Back then, in the late sixties, there was no Gay Agenda and the students, myself included, had a live and let live attitude about the situation. Surprisingly, even the smart ass kids didn't give the Teacher any problems.
What has changed is the almost Militaristic attitude that the promoters of all things Gay have foisted upon us.
I have no children, but when the Gay lifestyle is promoted as positive and normal in Public Education, it makes me wonder what the world is coming to.
That is absolutely ridiculous. I saw no language in his posts that was offensive and posts about gays that are foul, nasty and hateful are frequent. I'm sorry if you don't like hearing that but it's the truth.
Dude, you’re looking through the wrong end of the telescope. The disgusting posts were not appropriate for Free Republic.
When a person accuses someone else of hatred and wanting to murder people simply for using pejoratives, yes. I think that’s an attempt to quiet the opposition.
I’m not a hater simply because I call a homosexual a homo (short for homosexual) or a sodomite. The use of a pejorative may be impolite, but it doesn’t make one a hater or a murderer.
Liberals like to polarize speech to shut down opposition. Make a single negative point about blacks, such as their high illegitimacy rate, and we’re called racists. Likewise, calling people haters and murderers simply because they use a pejorative is also polarizing.
Finally, you confuse politeness with cowardice.
I didn’t fall off a turnip truck. Don’t even try to tell me the sky isn’t blue.
I don't think anyone here said that.

This thread is a good example of what the “fruits of fornication” is doing to our nation.
Definition:
fruits: the unpleasant results of something
Kickass Conservative: “Back then...students...had a live and let live attitude about the situation.”
The battle lines are being drawn because homosexuals are no longer content to live and let live. They see this as a civil right issue on par with black civil rights, and they won’t be satisfied until all opposition is shouted down.
Oh, they MIGHT let us whisper, “homosexuality is a sin” in our churches, but they want us completely eliminated from the public sphere. Take DADT, for example. As soon as that’s eliminated, it will be used to quiet any opposing views in the military. Mandatory sensitivity training, penalties for hate speech, etc., will shortly follow.
What I see on the right is mostly reactionary. We are simply responding to an attack from the left. I would MUCH rather go back to live and let live, but that’s simply not possible. We either win this, or we’ll lose many rights (religion and speech for example) to the gay agenda.
What could be perceived as a pejorative by some might also be taken as descriptive. The term "queer" (which is now embraced by some in that community) might be interpreted as hateful. On the other hand, that word is apt in the sense of being "odd" or "unusual" from the norm.
And by the way, on lighter note, my hope is that the term "gay" will get restored to its traditional meanings (merry, bright, lively...) in my lifetime. But there were an awful lot of candles on my last birthday cake, so it better happen quickly! :-)
LOL
I completely agree with that post.
Maceman: “Or maybe instead we should just stone all the faggots to death like our brothers in the Muslim world do. They use the same argument as you do.”
Implying that since we use the same religious arguments as Muslims we want to stone homosexuals.
tlb: “Joyful posts applauded this, seemingly disappointed only they couldnt have stoned him first.”
Yeah, that pretty much implies people wanted to murder a pro-gay poster simply because they expressed joy that he was banned.
His first post is gone now so I can’t refer to the exact wording of it. My recollection is that he was calling into question both posts that use foul pejoratives AND posts that call for ill fates to befall homosexuals. Both types of post occur frequently enough. Your previous assertion was that he had said that “When a person accuses someone else of hatred and wanting to murder people simply for using pejoratives.” That isn’t even accurate applied to what you just quoted.
I think you might want to see this thread. :-)
On the other hand, FReepers are quick to condemn the actions of the despicable Fred Phelps and his followers at Westboro "Church".
