I've reviewed this whole damn thread again

Post #386,909 by rcareaga 2/25/14 9:16:20 PM Reply	I've reviewed this whole damn thread again ...and it seems to me that mmoffitt has nowhere effectively refuted the rather obvious argument that the baker should then be entitled to refuse to provide a cake for, say, an interracial wedding on religious grounds. Indeed, had the Arizona law under consideration been framed in these terms, I can't help feeling that mmoffitt would never have risen in its defense. Seems to me that the sexual element in the present instance has particularly irritated him. Why is this, does anyone suppose? cordially,

Really, there is NO WAY to guess his motivations, since he claims to be non-religious and hasn't given anything obvious to latch onto. Early programming is enough for most guys to end up like him, though, and the slate article was a pretty good description of the all-or-nothing "you are gay" fear that many guys have. He's old, and he grew up in a highly repressed social environment though, so he fits the general viewpoint of his generation. We did too, but we had enough exposure to get past it. In my case I hung out at the RHPS for over 50 showings, and the crowd were my buddies. That was 9th grade. Totally fixed me.

I mean: as presented/in the usual BS-sessions. And at some point--in the Instant it was 'imparted'. I can't be alone in having observed the Double Standard In. Action. {{Live}} Ex: Little Suzy lets Timmie inspect her secret parts; goes to whatever fucking-'Base' etc. LIttle Timmie RACES --> to Tell All (+ inventions==lies) about his Conquest! immediately after zipping-up. NOW: Little Suzy is a slut/LIttle Timmie is initiated into the Hypocrite's Club (inseparable from the Murican Club.) And so it went. I Saw that my compatriots (but not my cohorts) were the very-definition of Hypocrite. (And, I imagine--that was ~~ when I also Grew Up. Warily.) I ain't so special/there must have been Lots like me. (Only Mike could know about ... when Mike 'Grew Up'-- right?) I can't imagine what sort of std. Asshole I might have become, had I missed/blown-off that realization early-on. (I may be an Asshole still, for al I know fershure--but a Different mix, at the least.) I can be sure that: having thence decided to cut-some-slack to females next met, via Yes!-empathy for their plight--was not only Right but, fucking-well Appreciated. call that: feedback. Y'know? I despised the insouciant then.. as now. My guess is that Murica produces more Assholes (especially of the Male variety) than any other country. Whether M. belongs in that category--only He knows. This species would be a Hoot, if so many of our proclivities weren't plumb Evil--so it Isn't 'a Hoot here'. Die Murica. Let's see what can grow from the Death of all its Ignorance and Sanctimony, eh? (It can't get (much) Worse, even I wot.)
