Whenever I see see a read with repeated dialog between less than a half

The thread leading into this message is a case in point!

We actually had a good solution for that (the prepends, like OT, POL,
PED) but forgot. I've started prepending POL when I remember.

Agreed. I am outta here. The rest of you guys can bicker about God,
and gays, and Muslims all you want.

I'll continue to post my flying experiences here, but I hope to never,
ever, see another thread go off the deep end like this one did.

The hospital says I'm only
allowed immediate family to visit. My best mate of 30 years, whom I love
like a brother, isn't allowed to visit. This would irk him too, but he
doesn't cry discrimination or equal rights about it.

Would it irk you? Do you consider this "best mate" to =be= family?

No. He's not family. Nothing will change that. (unless he marries my sister
or something, and even then, he wouldn't pass as immediate family.)

Not what the pope says.

I don't think any God is going to send homosexuals to any "hell", and
I don't think that homosexuals should be discriminated against because
of their orientation.

You continue to make this into a gay-bashing thing, Pete, and it's not.
I don't think any God is going to send homosexuals to any "hell", and
I don't think that homosexuals should be discriminated against because
of their orientation. I simply don't CARE. Homosexuality is an
evolutionary dead end, an accident of nature, no different than any
problem or trait any of us may inherit or face, and gay folks should be
left to do whatever they want, unhindered, in the privacy of their own
homes.

This is pretty much what I've been trying, (somewhat unsuccessfully it would
seem!), to portray. The last 7 words are worth emphasising though. It's the
same for straight people though! How often do you see a young, or even not
so young straight couple making out quite vigorously in a park, or whislt
waiting to cross a road? What's the first thing that pops into your mind?
"Get a room!" So see? All orientations should keep it behind closed doors.

In discussions with friends about this issue, this "live and let live"
attitude towards gays seems to prevail, at least amongst my fellow
baby-boomers. No one hates gays, no one wants to harm them in any way.

Unfortunately Jay, some people do want to harm them, and I feel just as
strongly against that.

Why, then, has this become such a problem for homosexuals? There seems
to be a deep-seated (seemingly self-destructive) urge for gays to
vocalize the "marriage" issue on the political stage, and I truly
believe that they would be advancing their agenda more effectively if
they concentrated on equal rights, not equal labels.

Again, my thoughts exactly. This was the root of my 'they bring it on
themselves' type comments. I think I expressed it less elloquently however.

But enough of this! How in the heck we went from FBO courtesy to THIS
is beyond me.

Here here! Did you ever hear anymore about the event, or did you ever
contact him again?
