  1. Not to stereotype or anything, but this Don't say gay stuff is starting to make a whole lot more sense.
  2. If he's a hardcore southern baptist he shouldn't be drinking at all, or standing around other people that are drinking. Motherfucker is breaking one of the Baptist commandments.
  3. Groomers
  4. Obligatory Fuck Bud Adams
  5. Every person has some bright line boundaries. Me getting married was one of my dad’s. He was ok with me being gay but struggled with that. Him not going to my wedding was a bright line for me. When he told me he wouldn’t go I told him to have a nice life. It took him a month to figure out I was serious. He then got to make the choice for himself. At the wedding reception, he and I were talking and he let me know how shocked he was that this wedding was just a normal wedding, although way more stylish and classy and less tacky than normal. To this day I have no idea what he thought happened when gays tie the knot, but as he’d been a baptist for 60 years at the point, I’m sure it wasn’t anywhere close to accurate. I don’t begrudge parents who need time to process. The time and place they grew up, their religion, their friend groups, the news they consume all have a powerful effect on people. What I do not forgive are those people who let all of those built in prejudices keep them away from their children in the long run.
  6. But I'm confused why you were saying that you didn't say it, when you were able to remember you said it just fine in response to my post. No one had to even go looking for it, because you repeated it for us all. And yes, lots of people change their minds when a thing hits them closely enough. Seeing as how you were saying a few posts after mine that you looked forward to your grandchildren arguing with other people's grandchildren about this same issue, I think I'm pretty clear that your position is that nothing should change. Which just means it hasn't gotten close enough to you yet. Some of us have to burn our hands on the stove, first, I guess. I hope that you find the place to compromise before your kid's get shot or before you lose the protection in government that's keeping you where you are now. One of those two things is likely to happen, and neither of them will be good for you. Finally, I'm not 100% sure that I've even stated my position on this topic, aside from the idea that absolutists need to be ready to not be absolutists before they lose power, because they won't like the outcome if they weren't willing to work in good faith with the people who are out of power. I have guns sitting downstairs in my closet right now, in fact, so I'm pretty sure that whatever position you think I have, you are incorrect.
  7. I remember a tree breaking him a few years ago. I also remember him suing and winning money as a result of that suit because the tree broke him, and then voting to make sure others who got broken by trees couldn't do the same thing. So yeah, I'm not ready to call him compassionate or agree that he cared about others.
  8. See to me, when you say you have given it enough thought that you already know you would change your tune if your kids were gunned down, the only conclusion I can draw is that other people's kids don't matter to you, because you haven't changed your tune yet. It reminds me of my family full of smokers. I had asthma as a kid. My entire family smoked, inside, nonstop. My dad and step mother only stopped when my dad had a heart attack when I was in my teens. My grandparents only stopped when he got lung cancer when I was in my 20's. They didn't let the fact that their kid/grandkid was asthmatic get in the way of them enjoying their smoking habit, it was only when it affected them directly that they changed their behavior. Sometimes consequences have to get really really fucking close before you are going to notice them, and what I read from your reiteration of your position is that the consequences haven't gotten close enough to you yet. I hope that remains true for you.
  9. But if it's not dismissed with plaintiff paying attorney's costs, I could make a pretty good case that Trump's goal is to intimidate Cohen into silence where Cohen could be a witness against tfg. Could this not be used as evidence that he's trying to intimidate Cohen as a witness?
  10. Sadly, fatty, I saw your post where it certainly looked like you said that. I also saw the post where you asked him to prove you said it. I also saw the post where multiple people pointed you back to the post where it certainly looked like you said that.
  11. Let's go back into the wayback machine. I remember when the gays were trying to negotiate about getting our legal rights equalized as it relates to our relationships. For a long time I wrote on this board that I did not give a shit if it was called a cocksucker's license or civil union or whatever else y'all wanted if it meant I could have equal rights in this country. Republicans decided to fuck around and find out on that one too. There came a point where my side had convinced enough people and we were done arguing. We got what we wanted, and I remember a whole bunch of Republicans who had heretofore been against giving us "civil unions" were suddenly all in favor of that if we just wouldn't call it marriage. Nah, you had your chance to do some common sense negotiating and you decided to be dicks. Well guess what, we got what we wanted and we got to coopt the name as well. Fuck all of you who wouldn't even think about compromising. The same fate will befall the gun lobby eventually. You can keep having everything you want for now, with a risk of it all going away at some point in the future. Or, you can negotiate away some of what you want now and you'll be able to keep most everything else in perpetuity. Y'all are picking the "everything now" option, you just need to be prepared for the consequences. There are going to be a lot of cold dead hands before this is all over with. And FYI for those who weren't around. Many of the people on this thread participated in these debates, and many of them at some point were on the side of saying that gays didn't deserve equal rights. Most people came around eventually, but I got a pretty big thrill over those people who, faced with the idea that they had lost completely, were suddenly anxious to compromise. Sadly, most of those people are gone at this point so I don't get to rub it in with my presence anymore. I saw all that to say that for all of you, it isn't too late to think long and hard about what you are willing to give up, because if you don't at some start agree to negotiate in good faith, you will eventually have to give up way way way way more than you are being asked for today.
  12. Hell they spent 6 hours to vote to get rid of them because of a 20 minute delay in their day. Republicans are all for government waste if it means they can own the libs.
  13. The American home of Nissan.
  14. So he bought Twitter to, what, amplify the voices of racists and make 3rd grade level dick jokes? That was his gameplan? Jesus fuck. He could've made 3rd grade dick jokes here for free.
  15. I knew this wasn't real because not even a master level contourer could create the illusion of such a prominent chin on that chinless turtle fuck.
  16. I suspect they'd happily drink Bud Light if we can convince them that they are getting one over on Bud Light every time they drink one that was provided for them instead. And we can charge them a markup + a monthly fee for it.
  17. Ooh, I think there's something here... "Did you like product x, but it's wokeness means you can't buy it anymore? For the low price of $25.99/month plus our cost, we'll continue to provide you with those products so you don't have to buy them from those woke companies. You can drink your bud light/go to disney without supporting their wokeness because you are paying us instead of them!." Then all you have to do is put a big markup on your cost for the boycotted products. I bet 90% of them would be stupid enough to fall for it and sign up. Whose in?
  18. Wait, are those last two posts real? Like for real reall? God dammit I hate this current batch of conservatives so much because they've become so absurd I can't tell the difference between real and fake.
  19. Girl you know it. My twink phase sadly happened to me while I was still in the closet and being one of those fragile "straight" guys, so I never got to take advantage of it. Maybe my biggest regret. There was tons and tons of hot ass at UT and I noped my way past every single one of them. ugh.
  20. Always love that one because that pimp comes with his own hypeman/doorman.
  21. Once there is a critical mass of politicians who are younger than baby boomers, yes. Until then, no fucking chance.
  22. There is only a very specific type of person who can wear white jeans. You either have to be in a band on stage, or treating the world as your gay stage. If you aren't doing one of those two things, that is a look that can't be pulled off.
  23. Yeah speaking of non-applicability. Singapore has about the same square mileage as Austin with about the same population as Houston. But as long as we are bringing in irrelevant comparisons into the conversation, Singapore also has legalized whores.
