"Next thing you know they'll be letting gays sit at the front of the bus"

Next thing you know they'll want to be school bus drivers, scoutmasters, teachers or any other position where they can influence the weak minds of the pure, the innocent, the unwary, the trusting,and the naive. Oops! Too late. Oh, I get it. It's the gays who are being victimized, right? How stupid of me.

Old Idea: Batman and Robin had that gig covered years ago.

Damn you beat me to it. Boy ward, my aunt fannie!

If you forbid people based on their sexual persuasion to be school bus drivers, and teachers, then yes, they are being victimized. It's called discrimination. It's no different than if they were black, or conservative and being forbidden to teach.

Per scoutmasters, The Boy Scouts can do whatever they want as they are a private organization.

This network and its Mickey Mouse owners are already the, er, butt of much mirth; and they persist in peddling their propaganda through the, uh, back door. Kinda reminds me of the Dims prior to their recent trouncing at the polls; something they apparently saw coming BTW. Grasping at straws they are. The networks going the way of the Dims? We can hope and pray.

Gay Frank goes into the doctor's office and has some tests run. The doctor comes back and says "Frank, I am not going to beat around the butt, er, bush. You have AIDS."
Frank is devastated. "Doc, what can I do?"
The doctor says "I want you to go home and eat 5 pounds of spicy sausage, a head of cabbage, 20 un-peeled carrots drenched in hot sauce, 10 Jalapeno peppers, 40 walnuts and 40 peanuts, 1/2 box of Grapenuts cereal, and top it off with a gallon of prune juice."
Frank asks, "Will that cure me, Doc?"
"No, but it should leave you with a better understanding of what your butt is for."

If you forbid people based on their sexual persuasion to be school bus drivers, and teachers, then yes, they are being victimized.

Does this mean you favour hiring pederasts and pedophiles to be teachers? Guidance counselors? School psychologists? If you wish to sacrifice your children on the altar of diversity and tolerance (of the intolerable), you do so with my utter contempt. Some discrimination is a good thing. Discriminating against perverts is a good thing.

I call it protecting the innocent.

[ForGod'sSake]

If you forbid people based on their sexual persuasion perversion to be school bus drivers, and teachers, then yes, they are being victimized. It's called discrimination.

I think you made a wrong turn somewhere.

[jd777]

He's going to investigate hate crimes.

[Bommer]

BWAAA!! ROTFLMAO!!!

[Bob Buchholz]

If you look at the numbers in the teaching profession, I do beleive that they are already forbidding conservatives. The attempt to relate homosexuality and race is transparent and wrong. Race is a physical attribute that one has no control over, homosexuality is a behavior. It is, as far as I know, the only behavior that is given special rights and protections.

Hey! Don't laugh. If I ever needed a PI, the first guy I'd call is an interior decorator and maybe a hairdresser after that.

[ScottinSacto]

Eisner may be a bit generous giving ABC 4 - 5 years, if this is the new programming that is supposed to return ABC to the ranks of the relevant networks.

[Delbert]

Figures I would find you on a gay thread.

[Charles Martel]

Yes, unfortunately, it IS the comedian Steve Martin.

Damn, that's a shame. He was one of precious few celebs who has kept his politics to himself. Well, now we know why he was selected to host the Academy Awards again, despite expectations that he'd *never* be invited back.

Hello Thailor ; )

[Revolting cat!]

Are Peter Sellers scheduled to appear on the show?

[Bush2000]

You don't want this dick tailing you...

[Bommer]

Figures you would find me? well, well, well. Trolling for some action?
