That's TWICE I've been quoted. That's gotta get me in the history books or SOMETHING....

BUAHAHAHA!

If somethingawful ever closed down I think I'd have to commit suicide - or some equally amazingly cool stunt.

Also, on the same day, SomethingAwful will close down.

There's a human/animal hybrid coming next thursday?

The way you phrased that, Daniel, actually gave me shivers!

I hope you're satisfied...

Modge got me thinking - and I suppose the concept of group marriages DOES sound a plausible - albeit strange - one (however far off it may be). Fortunately I can't see animal celebrants in the near future...

Gay people belong on T.V like pin-pricks belong in condoms. We should all just shrivel up and never try to make ourselves known again.

I often wonder what the next "hot topic" will be, and it scares me to think it may well eventually become something like adult-child relationships (referring to children under 13 or 14 or whatever). It's already in the papers enough as it is...

Of course, when that time comes I'll just be considered "narrow-minded" and "over-conservative"

I can't believe the Backstreet Boys episode had a special "By Popular Demand" double screening.

Don't ask how I know.

Eric: I completely agree that parents SHOULD be aware of what their kids are watching, but the problem is they wouldn't even know what's going on until the gay scene has already been shown, by which time if they just jump up and turn the tv off and say "let's go outisde and buy ice-cream" they've got a very angry and very curious kid on their hands.

And often parents just don't know what the kids are watching. They assume that if it comes on after Sesame Street then it must be okay sort of thing. Not being aware of what your kid is watching is nothing to be PROUD of, but it's hardly a reason for kids to be left to watch homosexuality when their parents are strictly against it. I know it's not porn, but morals are morals.

I think it would be GREAT if it could be aired. But a lot of people aren't ready for it, and you can't just stick it on T.V for the sake of "open-mindedness" when there are gonna be loads of people against it.

Postcards from Buster?! What will they think of next...

Personally I support the move to have that episode removed - or at least not aired on kid's prime time. If parents want their kids to learn about "alternative" lifestyles, it should be up to THEM to say what they are comfortable with - not some T.V show depicting a very one-sided view. I'm not saying it's a BAD view - but not every gay couple lives in a world called "Sugarland" with a bunch of cows they milk every day or so. I think it would be better to make it available as a video/dvd for parents/guardians who think it will be a useful device in educating their children.

I didn't try to HIDE it.... It just never really came up is all...

Nonsense! Utter, complete nonsense.

But this is becoming "enourmously gigantic" I would agree. Almost gigantic enough to win a certain person a certain "Biggest surprise 'coming out of the closet' " FOREGO Award?

You see, i TOLD you everyone respects Australians...

There isn't?

Would now be an appropriate time to tell the community I was joking?

EDIT: For the sake of peace and love - and because if I don't clear this up I will be flamed for the rest of my life - I am NOT joking. It was just a question to see if it was an appropriate time to SAY I was joking. Heh. Oh yeah - that was good. Totally smoooooth. Joking about a joke.

Sex has NOTHING to do with kids. That's like saying kissing was invented so we can share cold sores.

I think if Jesus stepped back down on earth to see what became of his ideas, he'd slit his wrists right on the spot. Especially if he went to the USA first.

As deeply blasphemous and offensive as I could find that, I nearly wet myself laughing.

In fact..... oh....

*grabs clean underwear*

Farlander - that's IT! This friendship is OVER!

Spoiler

No, really - it IS!

Vagita USED to be cool, but then yellow spiky thing on green icy looking surface became cooler.

Just so I can have the 200th post, I'm curious to see what people see differently in me. I'm still the same person, I've just trusted you people enough (and accepted it within myself enough) to let you all know. It seems as though some people have suddenly changed their opinions of me. Not anything that's been explicitly said, just interpretation....

Bernie! How DARE you speak on my behalf! And for only two cents?! WTF?!

[/kill bernie]

Okay, maybe I've had a bit too much wine. Or not enough, depending how you look at it.

I think Bernie's got some of it right though. I've heard the arguments against homosexuality a thousand times, and when someone talks about it in terms of "normal" and "the others" then I know it's of little use to try to talk about it in practical and especially literal means. One learns to mellow out after a bit, as I think fellow AGS-ers are beginning to learn after their 20th unheeded/ignored/flamed post.

But yes, I'm still genuinely interested in what you think, so don't hesitate to say it!

Now THAT'S more like it!
