Why is an LGBT "advocate" (I would love to understand how you define the term advocate in this context) going to spread the transgender germ to the students in the school district?
I don't think the "germ" is going to spread, not my point.

filing for bankruptcy isn't unethical



edit: buck crouch is a porn star name

Maybe not unethical, but the guy has no business being entrusted with the job of superintendent if he cannot manage his own finances/owes a hundred-fifty grand in back property taxes. I mean, seriously, how the hell can a guy who cannot control his own finances be entrusted to the finances of a school district. How can the school board and citizens take his advice on bond elections seriously? Thank god the media market/citizens of San Antonio were vocal against this guy after he was named sole finalist there.

What the hell is with Texas school boards not vetting Superintendents properly? Maybe they shouldn't go with the lowest bidder on search/vetting companies anymore.

Well I applaud you at being openly homophobic.

Phobic means being afraid of something, I am not afraid of gays.

Am I onion phobic because I do not like onions on my cheeseburger? No, I am not onion phobic, I just do not like onions on my burgers.

If onions had no taste and your aversion response was simply because you couldn't get your head around "an onion and a hamburger being together," it would be a phobia.

You probably don't taste gays, or touch them. They don't smell any worse, or sound worse. And they look like people. So, guess what? It's a phobia.

Phobia is a fear, there is no fear here.

homophobic and homophobia is nothing more than a slander term.

Yep.

There are much better terms such as: Homocontemno, homofastidium, homocondescencia and homocontemptus.

"Homophobia" appears meant to be demeaning to the person it is aimed at and not an accurate description of their feelings/opinions.

Looks like he learned from Obama. Oh, now come on you guys, I meant his throwing style!

Obama-Throw_lightbox.jpg

If you take enough pictures of Nolan Ryan throwing a pitch you can easily find one that promotes the limp wrist message. Probably even you!

It's one of the more common attack methods both sides use, but practiced with daily regularity by the right, to poor over images of people they don't like politically and select ones that:

Make them look angry

Make them look weak

Make them look arrogant

Make them look gay


Congratulations for contributing your daily coecient

I feel that heterosexuals are being held to a different standard than everyone else.

Someone says they do not like ford, nobody cares.

Someone says they do not like chevy, nobody cares.

Someone says they do not like beer, nobody cares.

Someone says they do not like whiskey, nobody cares.

Dare to say they do not like gays, and the politically correct liberal democrats freak out.

As I have said in numerous other post, it is a matter of mutual respect. Everyone should have the right to live their life as they wish.

If someone does not like the gay lifestyle, gays should respect that.

But on the flipside, gays should not be discriminated against.

Live and let live, but do not try to force a lifestyle upon others.

As for the opening post, I think that group needs to show gays more respect. So what if the guy is gay, respect that lifestyle choice and move forward. He is not hurting anyone being gay.

I'd start paying attention to what you're saying if you could at least stick to some semblance of a coherent message. You're all over the map. Last time you called me out, I responded and your reply was pretty much in the bizarro world category.

FWIW, and I don't even remotely expect you to understand this, I don't give a single flying fuck about local politics on this level and especially when it's not in a state I live in. I am having fun in this thread and you are not even coming close to ruining said fun. In other words, your disdain means nothing to me.

I don't even ... although, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

You disagree with allowing people to live their life as they wish, as long as they do not force their beliefs upon others?

I thought that is what this thread is about - one group of people trying to force their beliefs upon others.

People should care. A School board that does not stand up to the super and just does whatever they wish is not good.

Not to mention that much of the controversy about creationism vs. evolution as curriculum in schools also resulted from.... the "who cares about a school board election" attitude.

fundamentalists got onto some school boards and decided that creationism should be taught as science.

Being gay is a belief?

Your heterophobia is showing.

As stated previously in this thread:

Everyone should be able to live their life in peace - gay, straight, bi, polygamist, polyandrist,,, it does not matter.
