Brass, reading your posts here it's almost like you have a crush on RR.

In which case, I know a guy in Winnipeg who you can hook up with.

brassplayersrock² · Mar 20, 2008, 07:10 PM

sweet, what's his name?

You're turning into a regular besson.

OK... so I'm kinda thinking he might just be really nice and doesn't like me. Siiiiigh. Sokay though it's fine, I got my emotional high for a few days and we're still friends. Besides I had crazy all sales at work today... CRAZY ASS! sales...

Just thinking, or you know for sure?

brassplayersrock² · Mar 20, 2008, 10:29 PM

just ask him if he likes anyone and if he smiles and looks down then you know it's you

Salty · Mar 20, 2008, 10:29 PM

Just thinking, I mean we talked today and stuff. I dono, I just think he's not used to having good friends so... yah. I think we'll probably be good friends, and I'll likely hear about the bastards he dates and that sorta thing.

Doofy · Mar 20, 2008, 11:12 PM

Btw, last night he mentioned, "Yah, I really don't know what to do about Mark, I really like him but I don't think he's interested in me."

**** I hate being gay.

If you hate being gay, then why are you gay??? Most people try not to do things they hate. For example, I don't walk around spraining my ankle. I hate spraining my ankle! It's like walking a dog down a deserted street in Iceland with a muffin in your face while it's 120˚.
Eh, what? Turn off the light!!! Gah! Not enough sleep.

imitchellg5 · Mar 22, 2008, 10:48 PM

Also, a serious question: How can you be a gay Christian when homosexuality is so obviously not okay from the Bible's standpoint? Either you believe in the Bible or you don't, you can't interpret clear points in your own way without voiding the whole thing. Just wondering, not trying to start a flame war.

brassplayersrock² · Mar 22, 2008, 10:52 PM

the bible was written by humans. humans are fallible

imitchellg5 · Mar 22, 2008, 10:56 PM

The Bible is God-inspired. God is infallible. The humans that wrote it were certainly not perfect, but everything in it is 100% true. You can't pick and choose what you will consider true and false and then say that you believe in it all. However, that's not relevant to the discussion anyway.

RAILhead · Mar 22, 2008, 10:58 PM

Can we band people that post "yah" all the damn time? Don't they know how gay it sounds?

Well, send this straight to the PL.

The Bible is full of contradictions. How can anyone expect it to be in-errant?

I think most people agree it is biological, not a lifestyle choice. Who would choose to be such a hated minority?

Now a days, I don't think that many really are. But still, there are a few very vocal people.

Oh, come one. How is that different from a teenager that can't get his favorite girl ?

Does he hate being straight ?

If you *hate* being gay, then do something about it.
Otherwise, you should *hate* not being able to hook up or whatever you want to do.

Late last year didn't some German scientist bloke come up with genetic research indicating that there's actually no gay gene? The papers gave it minimal coverage, but I'm pretty sure I'm not imagining it.

Hmmm. I'm wondering - is it a sort of refinement thing? I mean, right now I have "types" of women that I'm attracted to. Show me a naked chick who doesn't conform to specifications and I'll show as much interest in her as someone who's asexual. But it wasn't always like this - my "types" have been refined over a few years and perhaps moulded by experience. Could the same kind of thing be going on with gay folks (assuming it's not genetic, of course)?

I hate being awesome. It's quite a challenge some days. Lonely at the top, etc., etc..

But I can't do anything about it - it's natural. Must start a group or something. Awesome Anonymous.

OK, you got me.

Dammit you guys are hard to fool.

Salty · Mar 22, 2008, 11:39 PM

I mainly mean the lousy dating pool... and I honestly am kinda really incredibly sick of gay culture... IE hot guys get hit on, guys who are moderate to OK keep passing each other up for guys who treat them like crap and... gah. At this point I hate life in general

Doofy · Mar 22, 2008, 11:44 PM

Stop whining and grow your hair long. And get down the gym.

Yah, I mean, not to be depressing or pessimistic, but if you feel like that now in your early 20s, wait 'til you are 40 or 50...

Speaking for myself (though I'm not gay): I'm in my mid-thirties now, and I am SO glad that my twenties are over with.

At this rate, I'm *really* looking forward to forty.

Yes, but you (AFAIR) have a family and kids.
*THAT* makes a helluva difference.

imitchellg5 · Mar 23, 2008, 10:09 PM

No, I was correcting it to what RR said it should be. It is a tour de force of my grammatical superiority.

Laminar · Mar 23, 2008, 10:26 PM

You misunderstood.

RR was making a joke. A joke that made me laugh.

Me too. Which is why I didn’t understand Mitch’s reply to it—I hadn’t considered it that way.

Ah, the world is no different regardless of sexuality. Move on. Get over the gay thing and just live. Watch a season of Queer as Folk- compare it to Friends. Watch a season of L Word compare it to Sex in the City. Life is life. You're not so different.
