The Obssession with Homosexuality

[Louis VI the Fat]

Whenever I see a homophobe, I call rent-a-gay and I make out with him in public.

It's 2009. Some five percent of people are gay. Get used to it, you provincials.

i dont like it when they try to shove the fact that they are gay into our lives.

Me, I've got no problem with Jews. 'But must they wear skullcaps and have subcultural eating habits? I mean, I just don't like it when they shove their Jewishness in my face...

Well I make a destinction between homosexual and fags. Gays will have to chose to being accepted as an individual, or as a homosexual. And they will have to chose to identifying theirselves as a individual, or a as a homosexual. Can't behave the way they do, tearing eachother inside-out in broad daylight, and then tell me 'hey I am just like you and I demand respect'.

Well I make a distinction between Dutchmen and Bataves. Dutchmen will have to chose to being accepted as an individual, or as a Batave. Can't behave the way they do, tearing each other out in broad daylight, smoking drugs, public prostituting themselves, selling coke and heroine, and then tell me 'hey I am just like you and I demand respect'.

Demanding equal treatment for a certain group when unequal treatment is in no way justified is what is to be expected from each citizen in a modern civilised country.

Well I make a distinction between Dutchmen Walloons and Bataves Belgians. Walloons Dutchmen will have to chose to being accepted as an individual, or as a Batave Belgian. Can't behave the way they do, tearing each other out in broad daylight, smoking drugs, public prostituting themselves, selling coke and heroinestubbornly refusing to learn Dutch, thinking that French is a superior language, and then tell me 'hey I am just a Belgian like you and I demand respect'.

Well I make a distinction between Walloons and Belgians. Walloons will have to chose to being accepted as an individual, or as a Belgian. Can't behave the way they do, stubbornly refusing to learn Dutch, thinking that French is a superior language, and then tell me 'hey I am just a Belgian like you and I demand respect'.

Why should francophones in Belgium learn a language they'll never need, a language of distant lands they never visit?


More in general, the world misunderstands the francophones. Spoken French only uses a frequency of between 1000 and 2000 Hertz. Germanic languages use a range from 150 to 3000 Hertz. This is why French sounds so pleasant, so soothening. Elegant even. And this is why non-French, especially Germanic, sounds like animal-like low grunts or high-pitched squeels to francophones.

It also explains why it is nigh impossible for francophones to learn another language past a very early age. We simply do not hear what you say. We would understand it, we simply, literally, can't hear you. We hear you no more than you hear sub-sonic whale sounds, or high pitched mice. Our ears do not register the sounds you are producing.


Yes, it is true. Not kidding around.

Every time I read one of Louis' posts, I curse my mother for giving birth to me here, instead of in France.

This is so true. When I was in France, no matter how loud I shouted at them and no matter how vigorously I waved and flapped my arms about, they just couldn't understand my English.

I wouldn't mind but I got an 'O' level in French. Mind you it was 35 years ago.

[Louis VI the Fat]

I waved and flapped my arms about

See? We just can't hear the frequency you are using.

Then again, our ears are finely tuned to sound of paper softly rushing in the wind. Next time when flapping your arms around to grab a French waiter's attention, put a tenner in your hand, alright? He'll be sure to hear that.

Why should francophones in Belgium learn a language they'll never need, a language of distant lands they never visit?

Well, because they live in Belgium and a non important part (the majority?) of the country speaks Dutch? How else will we communicate, let alone govern the country together? What about mutual respect?

"Nous sommes tous des belges, où est le problème? On s'entend bien, n'est-ce pas?" Ja, zolang we Frans praten begrijpen we mekaar...

Or is the refusal to learn Dutch a sign that our Walloon friends would prefer to split the country?

But let's not derail the thread with off topic-ness. Feel free to open a thread about Belgium and the upcoming elections if you want

Note to self: switch on humor detector before replying to Louis.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

And I know enough Walloons who speak Dutch fluently and didn't learn it as a child, so "our ears don't register what you say" is pure nonsense. I don't care what scientific articles you throw at me. My ears > any text written by whatever obscure scientists.

[Vuk]

Let's just stop playing games and say what everyone on this thread has been hinting at: the Dutch just suck. No matter which way you play it, you cannot change the fact that they wear wooden shoes, and everyone knows that only the worst barbarians and creatures from the planet Zog wear wooden shoes.
I say we deport them all to the planet pluto!

[Samurai Waki]

I'm rather fond of the Dutch, when they're not shoving their Dutchiness into my face

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

I tend to take a middle ground on the issue of gay marriage, but to be completely honest, I don't care much one way or the other. I am as open to one side of the argument as I am to the other.

I like it when they shove their dutchiness in my face, personally. And yes, while I am wearing the antlers. Don't ask why.

Hmm, you seem to have been genuinly irritated by my posts here. (Did the annual Belgium tax papers fell on your doormat? )

Anyway:
I wasn't slagging off the Dutch (or the Jews), I was simply imitating Hooahguy's and Fragoguy's statements, replacing 'gays' with Jews and Dutch repsectively to make a point.
The Walloon statement was ironic. 'Distant lands they never visit' - this was aimed against the debilitating insularic tendency of Walloons to consider as foreign, regions that are a mere twenty-minute bicycle ride away, places with jobs. Yes, I am not completely blinded by solidarity.

I know, I know

That's why I did the thingy with my original post, instead of just deleting it; to emphasise how stupid my response was, instead of hiding my stupidity, which would have been unfair.

I was an idiot by making such a post because you were obviously being ironic and I was too busy being the flemish narrow minded idiot I sometimes am to spot it.

I apologise for completely misunderstanding your post and annoying you by making a fool of myself.



EDIT: and I don't fear the Belgian taxpapers, usually it are they who owe me money. I'm still waiting for their payment.

I went to get a massage, but all the females were busy and there was only a very gay looking guy there. Call me a homophobe, but I did not let that oh-so-feminine man rub his lotion covered hands all over me. :P I just spent some time in the thermal baths instead. :P

[KukriKhan]

I see & hear it discussed frequently on the 'net and on TV and radio. Less so in print media, and almost never in real-life conversations. My friends and neighbors, gay and straight, talk sports, work, money, etc.

So I conclude: electronic media is way more obssessed with homosexuality than actual people are.

[Strike For The South]

Whenever I see a homophobe, I call rent-a-gay and I make out with him in public.

You said you loved me, you no good harlet.

As to the issue at hand, what gets put inside you or what you put inside someone else is no buisness of mine. Unless it's on video in which case I want to see it in HD.

[Kadagar_AV]

I also wonder...

I do get a bit grossed out when two gays make out in public, but not more than seeing two ugly heterosexuals doing it...

In the army my spotter was gay. Suffice to say we shared some really close moments, like, spooning to keep the warmth...

Did it bother me? Not in the least. He never came on to me (having helped someone through a diareha (spelling?) out in the bush probably kills romance... hehe...

What's my point?

I have none really... I don't mind where people put their dicks, as long as it isnt in my girlfriend :)

[Furunculus]

i'm just not interested in seeing parades in 'honour' of it, keep it in the bedroom.

[Kadagar_AV]

I can think of few better reasons than LOVE to hold a parade... no?

[Furunculus]

if someone can perusade their local town council to hold a parade then fine, but don't use public funds*, and don't expect me to be there.



* with the exception of local regiments returning from active service.

Ya, can't stand attention-whores. If you don't like being gay being a point, stop making a point about being gay.
