Corporations ought to be ashamed of themselves for promoting public indecency.

[Brimack34]

Maybe not anti-gay groups, maybe anti in your face gay groups. Would you take your kids to Mardi Gra? That is what this is Mardi Gra on steroids.

What this story needs is.....





Illinois Nazis.

[hoagy62]

You gotta remember...this is Seattle. No such thing as "shame" here.

[COEXERJ145]

I thought you hated Illinois Nazis? LMAO!

[durasell]

I do hate Illinois Nazis. But I've discovered they spice up the gay threads. Actually, I can't think of a topic that wouldn't benefit from mention of Illinois Nazis. For instance,

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

Hmm - Washington Mutual. I'm not surprised about Starbuck's. How does one boycott Microsoft?

Somebody say something to cheer me up.

It's a Tsunami of evil.

Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.

To each his own. Your sexual orientation is your business, I guess.

"How does one boycott Microsoft?"

Hmmm...depends what you have in mind. Red Hat Linux is easy to install, available in stores (or for ordering through the Web) and good to use as a desktop system. The following are best to use as excellent security, high traffic servers. There are thousands of packages (programs) for them (either BSD or Linux, including Star Office, which is easy to use and also works with Microsoft Office files).

NetBSD

OpenBSD

DragonflyBSD

FreeBSD

There's much more, BTW.

There's a joke in there somewhere...

[JennysCool]

Exactly. Why people want to have a parade in honor of what they do in their bedrooms is a mystery to me.

[Peace will be here soon]

"would rather have a bar full of gays then bar fulla straight guys"

A bar full of "straight guys" does not exist.

If a bar is full of guys, its a gay bar ...full of gay guys.

[WideGlide]

I smell caca.

[ReadyNow]

Speak out... distribute pirated software.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

I've always been confused by the notion of gay "pride". Let's look at the statistics, shall we?

- 300% higher chance for catching AIDS
- 44% of all new cases come from the sodomite community
- increased risk of domestic violence
- increased risk of drug & alcohol abuse
- increased risk of suicide and bodily injury
- rates of STD have spiked among sodomites in the last 5 years
- higher # of cases of pedophilia
- increased risk of mental disorders
- average life-span of sodomite men is 47 years.

Not to mention that pesky little thing of incurring God's wrath for openly and blatantly disregarding His natural law of human biology and sexuality.

Hoo-yeah, that's a lot to be proud of!
