Comment on It’s about rights, not helplessness by quixote

Yeah, indeed. Plus, we get to choose our religions without losing religious freedom. We get to choose to speak without losing freedom of speech. There’s no other right that depends on being genetically incapable of choice!

This post is right-on.
I always hated the implication that *of course* one would choose to be straight if one had the choice.

The action was really one of the greatest. And is great that people can unite when there is a need to defend the rights.

Comment on Demotion of Women to Non-Persons Fails. For Now. by quixote

Thoma, thanks for the kind words. The windmill-tilter writes the non-fictional blogs, and the realist writes the more believable stuff over on the fiction side. Two sides of one fairly polygonal critter.

I am still searching through this site to determine who is writing it. Whoever you are, you (or all of you) are good thinkers and good writers. Nice job on this one.

Thanks, WV! It’s a sad post, really. Human rights shouldn’t be up for question.

Comment on We’re All Gay by gay

gay — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 09:59:54 +0000

A gay is all right. It’s the properly labelled gays that are putting in an effort to make a difference; website maker I’m talking to you. Yes the natural order is between male and female, but some of us choose to be gay because it’s a choice, it ain’t morally wrong to be gay. I doubt that it would give you AIDS, it doesn’t give you AIDS, that’s a myth. Me and my little brother used to be gay, and we’re perfectly good people. Gayness feels good, a taste of a man when you’re a man feels good, every self-respecting gay is a person-on-person, no bestiality, no rape, and not being a pain in the arse. We’re all gay, and a gay is part of the solution, a homophobe is the virus, since a homosexual is a person and thus deserves to live in the community like any regular person; disability rights have just as good ground for logic: a disabled person can do anything it sets its mind to, deserves happiness, dignity, freedom, liberty and confidence just like you, and so does a homosexual.

Comment on Obama in 2012: the best of all worlds for Republicans by quixote

quixote — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 21:40:12 +0000

I agree, especially since the current knob was actually selected. Hillary won the popular primary votes by quite a bit, but the Dems dealt with that by declaring several piles of votes invalid. He’s not just unre-electable.

However, if the Republicans want to hand it to him on a plate, he might win the same he did last time, by votes against the other guy.

Yeah, I was waiting to see where you’d take that. The reality is more like this: the Dems put an unre-electable knob in the office. The Republicans will win the next round big. Then there won’t be a country in 2016. Nice job, America.

Ann Marie, thanks for reading and, especially, for letting me know it helped a bit.

Good for you for standing with your son in what has to be a difficult time for him.
