'That's So Gay!'

It amazes me how many people play the role of armchair psychologist, without having the credentials to back it up. I’m especially concerned about ignoramuses who, as the name implies, ignore the unanimous conclusions of the medical and mental health professionals in favor of their self-proclaimed expertise.

I have a degree in psychology as well, and I would never pretend to diagnose or treat other people since my degree isn’t in clinical psychology. The most dangerous people are those who don’t even know what they don’t know.

So you’ve had “gay feelings” in the past which you no longer have now?

Wrong again punk…it’s completely relevant. People tend to attack those whom they disagree with. That’s why you’ve never said anything against anyone who agrees with your point, regardless of how caustic their comments may have been…You stupid little shit…THINK for once.

Here is what I said in my previous response to you. I highlighted it for you so maybe you will catch it this time.

Brother Chris and Zeb, for example, maintain a position similar to yours but have remained cordial with people that have disagreed with them. I haven’t attacked them and I haven’t seen anyone else do that either.

Is any of this sinking in? Do you understand that any insults hurled at you were due to your juvenile behavior and not your opinions?

Hi Mick, out of curiosity are you this hateful in real life or is this just a board persona for kicks? I sincerely hope it’s the latter, because I can’t imagine what it would be like to harbor such poisonous rancor in the real world.

If they do differ, perhaps it is stress-related, due to the fact that they are constantly attacked as being “dangerous to the family” or “traditional moral values,” or some such rubbish.

On a slightly different note, I find it difficult to reconcile the general anti-statist, anti-authority feeling on this board with the desire to forbid marriage among certain groups. To be opposed to groundless authority, yet to support one of the most frivolous instances of it is a contradiction which I am not capable of entertaining.

Zeb never claimed to be a libertarian as far as I know.

The classic libertarian response to “should gays marry” is “why is that governments business and will it cost me anything?”[/quote]

I didn’t say he was a libertarian. The GOP cheerleaders talk about small government too.

You previously wrote:

Then you said…

The individuals below disagree with me. I have not attacked them. My opinion doesn’t determine whether I act like you or not.

I’m beginning to think your over the top belligerence is an act, at least I hope it is.

Yup, but those are really just liberals that like guns.

They have not acted, in any way, like Mick28.

Where in the following sentence am I saying that you would attack every single person that you disagree with?

I can read your verbal manure just fine.

Seriously, how old are you? 18 year old Privates that were in my platoon didn’t act like you.

Sniff…sniff…“E-Nation” is down the hall to the left. You sound like a little girl who had her doll taken away.

Too funny…

Nah kid, just commenting on how you contribute nothing to this forum.

…and that you’re an assclown.

I’m not quite sure if you’re talking about my responses to him, but he did actually quote some VERY questionable, VERY tin-foil-hate-esque sources in another thread. Those crazy statements… he actually made them! (copy and paste I’m sure). I just asked him (twice now) if the “information” he was presenting in this thread was from those same sources.

I’m guessing it is. Central bankers behind the scenes and all.

You can be as close minded as you want, but when you start persecuting someone ot denying their right for being gay then we got a problem.

Maybe they can’t marry themselves in a church, but there is no reason why they couldn’t do it legally

Is it just me or does Mick sound like an angry 16 year old?
