See my post #98 on this thread...

I always thought that "Lifetime" was pretty gay.

[Freebird Forever]

Can we refer to homosexuals as homosexuals?

I'm more inclined to use the words sodomite or moral degenerate myself.

[bimbo]

?Why do the gays scream "minority," i.e. they are what, 10% (or is it 15% now) of the population? ?

I’ve heard estimates that 2% –3% choose homosexuality, but who knows? With all this mass publicity they give themselves, along with the special privileges they demand from society, there could be many more – it’s the only minority category that one can choose.

It's also -- surprise, surprise -- drenched in references to raw, perverted homosexual sex. In the premiere, the lads wonder whether stains are from "soy sauce or boy sauce," wear aprons from the "Horny as Hell Kitchen," and goad the straight man with constant pleas to undress, try out the new bed with a friend and kiss the designers.

Disgusting. I happened to flip by this the other day and for the three minutes I kept it on, there were several references like this. Where are the REAL men that would punch these fairies out for saying something like this to them?

BINGO!

I am with you. Except for the seat up part--hey it should always be down--women use it that way all the time and guys use it that way about half the time;-) 3/4 of the functions wins the seat down as being the normal position--LOL.

Hubby and I used to catch college games together at a local watering hole before we had children. It was a real blast!
Nothing like a couple of Mooseheads and some wings on a Saturday morning.

I know I will receive some heat over this...

but Steve Doocy (Fox & Friends) & Carson Kressley (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) look like brothers!
(I know Steve Doocy is not gay, but Steve & Carson could pass for brothers!)

Is that what ER has degenerated into? We stopped watching about 3 years ago and haven't watched it regularly in about 4(I think that's about how long it's been since Kelly Martin was killed off?)...Only episode we caught since then was when Mark Green died from a brain tumor or something. The show was quickly going to pot when we left, I can't imagine it now.

Watch Oprah much?

You are a single woman, I am a married one. I can tell you that clothes and a perfume spritz is not what makes a good guy. Women would do better to overlook that stuff and look for a good solid person beneath the clothes.

You are looking for a husband, not another girlfriend to go shopping with!

[sam_paine]

Might it not be more efficient to have *women* teach the guy how to be more noticeable to women?

Actually, I can catagorically say *NO* to that!

Women are genetically biased against diverting attention to other women. It's just not natural for a woman to divert a "good catch" to someone else, unless she's married. And at that point, she's lost all of her femalian supersensory detection skills to know what a good catch is.

This can also be seen in the well researched phenomena of the hot chick/fat chick syndrome. Hot chicks often hang out with fat chicks to guarantee a focus on them, not their friends. So, in general, after much research, women are just no good at setting up other women. Which means that they have no capacity to teach a guy how to be more noticeable to other women. QED.

Which is where this old sayin comes from: "A misogynist is just a man who hates women as much as women hate other women!"

Thanks for posting this excellent article.

Kudlow and Cramer and Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street on CNBC are good shows.

[GraniteStateConservative]

I think the former or current head of Vermont's NRA is gay.

[sam_paine]

We need a better word than "homophobic". I'm *not* afraid of them. I just think their behavior is immoral, extremely unpleasant, and medically unsafe.

How bout homoseptic?? For the dirty, sickly gay lifestyle.

Now what does that make us? heteropius? Maybe we are heteropius folk that have homocontempt.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Well, it gives him something to bitch about other than WWF/WWE wrestling.

I write poetry.
Rudyard Kipling wrote poetry.
Robert Service wrote poetry.
Edgar Allen Poe wrote poetry.
I don't think writing poetry is a real problem.

Try this idea for a show, and tell me how many seconds it would last in a Hollywood pitch session: "A team of five fabulous straight guys teach a masculinity-deprived gay man how to throw a football, hunt for game, drink something manlier than fruity wine coolers and appreciate the fiction of Tom Clancy. When the journey is done, a newly enlightened, ultra-manly man emerges."
I saw this very proposal mooted on FR earlier this week.

Hey Brent! Admit it! You're a FReeper!

Sodomite = morally degenerate homosexual?

Works for me!

[Taxman]

Joe has a firm grasp of the obvious -- to us heterosexuals, in any event.

That is a good read. Thanks for the ping.
