Gross dude.

You're missing the point

That gays and their allies have chosen to fight what they see as hate with hate of their own by dialing the disturbingness and sexually explicit level up 100-fold?

So all gays are sexually explicit and make porn to fight hate??

I obviously never said that.

Reread your first sentence.

I don't ever see where I said "all gays" do anything.

So if someone said "Men are lazy," you'd interpret that as meaning, "Some men are lazy."?

"Gays and their allies". Your sentence implies all gays make porn to fight intolerance.

If you say so. That's not how I see it. If I meant all gays, I would have said so, but I rarely make such totalizing comments.

Also, I never said they made gay porn. Dan Savage clearly did something hateful and sexually explicit that wasn't gay porn.

Well, Rick Santorum was the one who brought pedophilia and bestiality into the conversation.

Logging out for the night, will gladly continue confrontation over Israel with ChairmanSanchez and sbane tomorrow morning.

Just to interject briefly into this debate: the United States doesn't get its oil from the Middle East.

About 59% of imports come from the Americas, 22% from the Middle East, 17% from Africa.

And yes, global prices matter. But can we please not say that America depends on Middle Eastern oil, when it doesn't, really?
