Well, years ago, I went to Germany and for the first time ever I saw gay people showing affection in public. It was kind of akward for me, because it was something "weird", at least for the standards from where I live.

But that was MY problem, as you can't blame gay people for how other people react to the fact of them doing something absolutely normal for any other couple.

'fraid not, guys.

Here's a clue: This movie is not about cars or shrinking.

...

mmmm... Titanic 3?

I do enjoy Lesbians though. 

Here it's basically the four groups, with the extremes being the loudest as that is always the case:
- people who are "openly" gay, that organize parades, dress extreme etc.
- people who don't mind and don't really care who is gay (I think I'm in this group, more women for me (in theory)))
- people who don't say anything, but would rather if gay people weren't all that pushy about being gay and mostly annoyed by any public displays, but don't really care enough to actually care what other people do
- people who are idiots and extreme haters and don't understand the part about "what do you care what somebody does in the privacy of their homes", of course mostly this group consist of right wingers, nationalist and football hooligans etc.

There's a recent movie from Serbia, it's called Parada (The Parade http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1784575/), a comedy that shows some of the attitudes from this part of the Balkans. Haven't watched it myself, but they say it's a good movie, check it out if you have the chance.

I think that there at least is one other group: Gay people who act as gay haters, in order to be accepted.

About the movie, I'll try to find it. Thanks for the info.

Back to the Future 4: With a BMW?

I really have no problem with it. My uncle Mike is gay, and growing up I never saw anything different about him, so no reason to now knowing he's gay. Some people act like it's a disease or something.

Some years ago, when I was in the university, I owned a little shop, and the best employee I had, was a gay, who tried to deny that (but it was too obvious). Before I hired him, he had problems to find a job because, as you said, a lot of people act like it's a disease or something.

Gay people are humans and deserve the same human rights as anyone else. Like, duh. I mean people are people so why should it be you and I should get along so awfully. What I don't understand is why I started quoting Depeche Mode all of a sudden.

What I don't understand is why I started quoting you xDDDD 

I have no opinion one way or another. Being gay is of no consequence to anyone else. Even if it is a 'choice' as is often said by the conservative right it's still of no consequence to anyone else

That, in fact is an opinion  

On a side note, I dislike the word "tolerance" and the ilk. I don't 'tolerate' black people and I don't 'tolerate' women. I don't see why I should have to 'tolerate' gay people. What exactly am I supposed to be tolerating? It makes no difference to me either way.

I also dislike how some people use (or abuse) the word tolerance, that's why I wrote "tolerated" in my first post.

I really don't understand the obsession with homosexuality as a thing. It's a complete non-issue. The only person who should care about where someone puts their penis is the person in whom it is being put.

Actually it is a "complete issue". You can say it's not fair, or worse (and I would support that), but the world it's how it is.

Here in Germany, people are pretty much over the novelty of "open gayness". And politicians here would never dare to be publicly anti-gay, they could pretty much pack their bags right away. The major of Berlin is gay, and he's one of the leaders of the social democrats, a major party.

There are of course several catholic fuckwits here who can't keep their traps shut and are anti-gay. But who cares. Germany really doesn't anymore. And I'm very grateful for that, too.

Yes, I noticed that in Germany. Here is totally diferent. As I said, is usual to atack the government by accusing it of "open gayness", to the point that the only time that the PSUV has been defeated was because the opposition said that the government would allow the gay marriage and other "gay rights". It wasn't true, but just the idea of it made the people to focus on that and forget about the real proposals....

I'm curious about how the people of different places feel about sex in general and homosexuality in specific. I would like to hear from you about it (but, if it's possible, spare me of stuff like "the gay people are abomination and God will fry them for eternity" or "if you're not gay, it's because you're a stupid, moronic coward")

I'm from Venezuela, and here the gay people are kind of "tolerated" but not so much. You can see people atacking the government, by calling them thieves. If that's not enough, well, they call them homosexuals.

How is where you live?

Haha, that's great, I thought Titanic 2 only existed in that awesome fake trailer made from clips of Leo DiCaprio movies.

This one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD4OnHCRd_4

THAT's a movie I would like to see xDDDD

Titanic 2? This is a movie? Really?  :o

Yes, an Asylum joint.

My guess is...Stay Tuned?

Your guess is... correct

Let's keep this rolling:

"that might have SANK this thread"

Titanic 2?

Sad as it may be, starving children aren't a single person, they're a statistic.  One dies every time I click my fingers.  It's a sad fact, but it's not an 'event', it's an on-going global problem.

That's not sad: It's tragic...

Okay then, tragic  :
It doesn't really matter which synonym I use, it doesn't change the point I was trying to make.

I wasn't trying to change the point, but give emphasis to it. In fact, I should have written "beyond tragic"...

About the work: Well, you're young and healthy. Maybe it's a cliché, but that's a lot to be grateful for. Just give time to time and keep trying. Hang in there

About the girl... Well, there's a saying "If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were"...

Now, there is something that you have to be clear about: Do you really love the girl, or you're in love with your IDEA of that girl?

A movie with a phenomenally low score on IMDB.

Well, that's the kind of movies more often posted here xD

Yep. Domino, your turn (but the girl is Paris Hilton, he)

I dunno, but that towel is in the right place 

:o

Do you know the movie?

Here you go:
