The Obssession with Homosexuality

[Andres]

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

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!

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.

[Ice]

Why do nominally straight people talk constantly about gay marriage and homosexuality? Why do they get so worked up about it?

I think I've spotted a bit of sexual insecurity amongst those heterosexuals that constantly, constantly talk about gay marriage.

Insecurity and Fear

[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.

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

All Republicans that oppose Obama are, in fact, insecure Democrats.

No, people have opinions, and beliefs, that they stand by. I have no problem with someone opposing gay marriage, it is when they try to ban a private affair that gets my goat.

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

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.

[InsaneApache]

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.

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.

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.

[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.

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

I don't care whose hands they are, as long as they rub my shoulders, back, and buttocks in just the right firm-yet-gentle way.

As long as my Skinny Marinky Dinky Dink ends up with my girlfriend's Skinna Marinky Doo, and no one else's, that means I like women.

lol, it was not his gender that turned me off, it was his overly excited attitude and winking. :P I am an overweight, gross guy, and anyone who is that interested in fondeling my naked body has serious problems. :P Trust me, I would have been turned off if a woman showed interest like that too, just not as much. It is more so with the guy, because I do not find guys attractive at all. :P (except Clay Aiken )


EDIT: Skinny huh? :P Don't worry, I will keep your secret. :P

It's just a child-friendly expression.

Well yeah I suppose if he's an over-the-top fruity fruitcake, then yeah I don't want his creepy fingers touching me. I was referring to normal people, gay or straight. As long as he doesn't try to grab himself a couple of handfuls of my cheesy goodness, I'm happy.

A very wise greek proverb roughly translates:

'A cucumber that doesn't grow up your bum you shouldn't care how it grows'

It means that if something does not really affect you then you should not try to stop it

Perhaps, just perhaps, some 'straight' people are so 'interested' in homosexuality because they try to hide their own homosexual feelings (and there is a plethora of anti-gay enthusiasts caught taking it up the bum to prove it)

[Askthepizzaguy]

DUDE! I'm eating cucumbers right now wtf have some respect for people who want to eat cukes!










obviously.

You don't really want to know the other greek proverb involving cucumbers then...

Sorry Ras, but that does not make much sense to me. The thing is that they think it IS affecting them, even though they are not the ones with the cucumber up their butts. :P
Also, the argument that people who oppose the spread of homosexuality are secretly gay is as ridiculous as saying that people who oppose the spread of murder are secret murderers. Don't get me wrong, I am not equating the two, but a lot of people think they are both a sin, and so oppose the spread of homosexuality. (if there was not so much of it and if it were not being flaunted so, there would not be so much contraversy over it)

yaya.

It are actually the gays themselves who are obsessed with their sexual preference. I wouldn't care if they didn't care so much but too much is too much. Example, we have the gay parade here, boats full of gays in Amsterdam. They wanted a boat for homosexual people with down syndrome, they wanted a boat for homosexual 11 year olds (wtf?). Just act normal.

Exactly, just get on with it. I recently just found out that a friend of mine here in Hungary was gay. I had no idea until it came up in conversation. I don't care, it is his choice. It affected me about as much as if he told me that he was straight. Anyone, gay or straight who goes around like an obnoxious twit, flaunting their sexual preference I find disgusting though. I have never seen a straight person do it, but infortunately, I have seen gays do it all too often. I think that is why most people make a big deal about them, because they make a big deal about themselves. It is asking why everyone in the room is fixated with the stripper; because the stripper wants attention and is demanding it, so of course she he (it fits better with the mood :P) is going to get it.

[Tribesman]

Same old crap again Frag , can you force yourself to write what the real story was instead of once again repeating your oft debunked fabrication ?

[rory_20_uk]

I think it's a continuing reaction against homophobia. When they realise in most places they're demonstrating a non existent majority they'll calm down.

Although expecting them to loose interest in parades with fabulous dresses and make up is probably asking too much...

Well they are being just as bad as homophobes. Sure, they have their right to sexual preferences, but what about the rights of the people who do not want sexual parades going by their houses? They cannot intrude on other people's rights so that they can flaunt their own. It is not just them though, I remember when I was in Chicago there was some kind of up fetish parade going right by where I slept. I was absolutely , because I saw and heard a lot of things I could have gone my entire life without seeing and hearing, could not go outside, and was kept up all night. Crap like that that infringes on other people's rights should be illegal. Man, I forgot how much I hate Chicago. :P That darned city is the armpit of the States. :P I have lived in big cities I have liked, so they cannot blame it on being a big city. It ain't the people either, because there are plenty of other cities with a lot of Poles, blacks, Serbs, Germans, etc. It is just the politics and way of life in Chicago. (and no, I had this opinion loooong before I heard of Obama :P) No offense to Chicagoians, but I have never had worse experiences than I did in Chicago, and have never been in a city I found more offensive. :P (even London is a nicer place )

EDIT: Maybe if I moved to Amsterdam
