So is there room in S.C.U.M. for a Moderate Green Republican that is Pro-Choice and wouldn’t object to non-traditional marriages. I know I dislike Mr. Hyde more than most. Being a hawk might be useful if we have a friggan huge “LASER”. Jim ---

NO-it doesn’t have an elevator or escalator! Work with me, here. You get tossed into on top of the dead rats–it’s an all you can eat buffet here at S.C.U.M. headquarters. **Amazon Floozy Goddess** will teach you all manner of licentous behavior-to hasten your moral turpitude.

**Martin** strikes me as being the sort who would have supported those compulsory chapel attendance rules in the old days at West Point. I wonder if women got to lead any of the services while he was in school there. ---

Assuming that he is not a sock puppet, as his user name seems to indicate, and that he is not using his alter ego for tro…[Oops, don’t want to violate that rule.], then he is, without doubt, a very classic case of repression and would benefit greatly from some sympathy, emotional support, and therapy. Lay off the poor lug, folks. Give him a big hug, tell him that it’s alright and we love him anyway…and hie him to a counsellery ---

A sock puppet!!! I’m a charter member, registered in Mar 2004… Who would I be a sock of after all this time? That doesn’t even make any sense… As for me being homosexual, I think many people have homosexual thoughts, even those who consider themselves to be heterosexual. I do not think that many people are honest about that, I was. Through my teenage years, mentally speaking I always preferred the _concept_ of male-female intercourse and found females to be attractive while I didn’t feel particular attraction to any males I knew. I wasn’t that comfortable with sex as it were, for a variety of reasons. I was a teenager, with insecurities and et cetera which aren’t that uncommon I don’t think. I was not the cadillac of a man that I am today. But even the greatest tree starts out as a tiny seed. ---
