"I get amazed, I can't look at it about 10 second, at these politicians dancing around this, dancing around this, I'm trying to find a correct name for it, this utter absolute asinine idiotic stupidity of men marrying men."
(shouts from crowd)
"I've never seen a man in my life I wanted to marry."
(shouts, applause)
"And I'm gonna be blunt and plain, if he ever looks at me like that I'm going to kill him and tell God he died."
(laughter, applause)
"In case anybody doesn't know God calls it an abomination. It's an abomination!"
"It's an abomination!"
(applause)
"These ridiculous, utterly absurd district attorneys and judges and state congress and 'well, we don't know'... they ought to have to marry a pig and live with them forever."
(laughter)
"I'm not knocking the poor homosexual, I'm not, they need salvation like anyone else... I'm knocking our pitiful pathetic lawmakers."
"And I thank God that President Bush has stated,"

"Alright"

It's clear that the guy is nuts, as demonstrated by all the people saying so. Excluding, of course, one of these "adults" who seems to think gays are deceived by evil spirits.

Have you, uh, actually read any threads around here?

Ω · Sep 29, 2004, 09:09 PM

Does there really need to be two threads for this?

The people who want to discuss it can just go the Pol Lounge (unless they are banned of course

)

YAY for uneducated retarded idiots that will vote for Bush and agree with this stupid white redneck that sounds like he's going to die from a stroke any minute now.

BTW did I miss anything about Hatred And Killing being accepted by Christians?

You have any idea how many uneducated retards agree with bush? It looks like he might get elected again and imagine the havoc he will create when he doesn't have to worry about being elected for a 3rd time.

And people say it's the Christians that are full of petty hatefulness.

You both should be ashamed of coming in here to speak against intolerance, then show intolerance at the same time.

So what you are saying is, it's ok for me to be intolerant to you?

And yes the answer is YES, yes it is.

Tolerance isn't agreeing with people that disagrees with you. Tolerance is how you treat those who you disagree with.

I'm not tolerant of people who are intolerant.

Sounds right.

If there is all ready a thread, why start a new one? And as you can see, it's not something that gets discussed like adults here, never has been and never will be.

Originally posted by ambush:

Yeah, it is when you are intolerant of everyone in a group because of the words of specific people. I'm a Christian, Roman Catholic to be exact, and can you find me one thread in here where I have ever said anything derogatory about gays? Have fun looking. But I realize that you are young, naive, and from some of the things you have said, rather ignorant, so I won't cast dispersions on all of Quebec, or atheists for that matter, for the idiotic things that get tapped out on your keyboard. Take a minute to think about that.
