Sure, being gay is just like being straight in this country. If I had a nickel for every time a state representative implied that all straight people should be put to death...
Yep because one very wrong religious extremist speaks for every Christian. Like I said, attacks on religion are ok, unless it's Islam, but if you don't jump up and down for gay rights, you're an evil person.
It wasn't "one very wrong religious extremist," it was a very powerful state politician. You know, an elected official.
And, as Verno said, no one is asking you to jump up and down. Jesus Christ. They're having a fucking convention. They're not asking you personally to attend, or to pay for it, or to fucking approve. They're just having it. You're the one that keeps whining about things, then complaining that you're not whining, then complaining that you're perfectly ok with gay people you just don't think they should be allowed to congregate in groups of more than 100 if video games are involved and they want to discuss the fact that they're gay and happy about it.
And YES religious attacks are ok if it isn't Islam. WE ARE NOT AN ISLAMIC COUNTRY. Fuck, man, this is so hard for you. It isn't hypocrisy, it's wanting to not mock things that you are not. If I sit here and talk about how stupid you are you'd be offended, right? But you probably do something stupid fairly regularly and then chuckle to yourself about how stupid it was. Why is it ok for you to call yourself stupid but not ok for me to?
Because you're you and I'm not, right?
So why is it ok for us to bash Christianity and not Islam? Because we're Christian and not Islamic...
How is this a hard concept?
Except that concept doesn't make sense, basically, you're just shoveling shit to suit your idology and telling youself that to make yourself feel better when you bash the oh so evil church. If it's ok to bash Christianity, and really liberals do this on a regular basis anyway. Then Islam is fair game. Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing, if I want to say Islam sucks and I don't support their desire to build a victory mosque at the site of ground zero in NY for example. I can do that. I don't need to be from the village of fuckagoat iran to do so either.
Oh so now I don't think they should have the right to congregate? Dude ALL I said is I don't see the point of it. That's it. Stop trying to put words in my mouth.
My god liberals are idiots, that's right go cast another vote for Obama, 4 more years of a 10+% unemployment, and absolute whackjob foreign policy ought to do wonders for the US.
Oh god, you just brought up freedom of speech.
No one is telling you you can't make fun of Islam. No one in this country has ever done that. What we're saying is that it makes you a dick and probably has repercussions (like, say, if you're an actor, don't expect to ever work again.)
And for fuck'ssake I'm not a liberal. I've never once cast a vote for a democratic presidential candidate. But, while you're on it, bombing the shit out of everything is a whackjob foreign policy, our unemployment isn't 10%, and it was lowering taxes on the super wealthy in the late 70s that fucked us.
Lastly, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ARGUING? That you aren't a bigot, you just don't like that they're doing this, but you think they have a right to? Fine, you are a bigot, I don't think you should be saying the things you are, but you do have a right to. Weird.
You're definitely kind of a bigot, though. You keep bitching about gay people and Islam. That kind of makes you a bigot, you know, according to the definition of the word.
Not seeing the point of something = bitching apparently. Beamer just do the world a favor, go die in a fucking fire.
You keep bitching about christianty, bigot. now give me some excuse as to why your bitching is different. I'm sure it's coming.
