There’s no “gotcha”. The questions were fairly straightforward, exploring how you apportion sympathy and revoke it for unrelated things. Don’t be so afraid. Now, if you would have put a tenth of the you put into not answering my questions into just answering them, we’d be done by now. Here were my questions:

[QUOTE=magellan01]

So, **BrightNShiny** , out of curiosity, what other things might cause you to have sympathy for Captain Midnight but revoke it due to his post? Victim of arson? Loss of a limb? Put in the hospital by a drunk driver? Having a loved one raped? Being mugged? Please, do fill me in.

And, is there anything that would cause you to have sympathy for Captain Midnight in spite of his oh-so-horrific post that hurt your widdle feewings so badwy?  
[/QUOTE]

Proceed…

I’m not afraid. I don’t see any point in engaging with you. If you post blatantly incorrect things about the law or history or continue your homophobia, I may still call you out, but other than that, we have nothing to talk about.

Gotcha. You’ll continue to do anything to avoid answering questions that naturally flow from your bullshit position and reveal it to be so bullshitty. Can’t say I blame you.

If you focused more on having a gay old time, your life would definitely be a lot more bright and shiny, my friend. 😉

I’m trying to get out the door early today, so I had to stop before I got caught up. Damn, I’m seriously pissed I didn’t find this thread sooner–it’s been a busy week.

No, I don’t want to watch some fat-asses kiss and hold hands in public. No, i don’t want my children seeing your fat-ass or being indoctrinated by your fat-ass lifestyle. I want fat-asses like you to quit lying to us and stating obviously wrong things like that your fat-assness is like a “drug.” Fuck you, and your fat-ass. There’s no fucking way I’ll ever let some Jackie Gleason looking motherfucker lecture me on what’s natural and what’s a proper life style.

Let’s make pretty thin babies together.

I’m not “doing anything” to avoid answering. I’m just not answering. I’m not going to bother debating ethics with an immoral asshole like yourself.

Um, no. We have jobs. We have lives. Some of us have too many cats. We pay taxes. Some might say that, paying taxes, we deserve the same protection under the law as heteros get when they marry.

> [@Captain\_Midnight](#):

Nobody’s asking you to, and quite frankly, I doubt any gay man would, they’re very appearance-oriented.

> [@Captain\_Midnight](#):
>

I don’t “throw my sexuality in everyone’s face.” There’s a phase a lot of kids go through when they come out…but most of us settle down and go on to be pretty unlike the queer bogeypeople you have in your head. Most of us are boring. Really boring. The weirdest thing I do is play dungeons and dragons, old-school, pencil-and-paper.

The homosexuals have thrown their sodomy, feces eating, carpet munching effiminate men and mascular women shit for so long that most of us just say fuck it and move on. It’s not so much that people are into deviant behavior, I just hate to be lied to. Saying that people are born gay, that people of the same sex can have the same relationship and values as heterosexuals and that hopmosexuals can adopt children and have them be normal is a lie. Honestly, we Americans have been lied to for so long, that we just accept it.  
[/QUOTE]

First off, using what I do in the bedroom as an excuse to deny me equality is bullshit. Secondly, if we’re going to go there, do you think what you presumably are still vaguely able to do with your wife is any more elegant?

> [@Captain\_Midnight](#):
>
> In the 2008 election, when the economy, foreign affairs, the Middle East, jobs going overseas and everything else, it seems that half of the time the issue was if two fags can be legally married.

I do think that gay marriage isn’t of overwhelming importance IF YOU’RE NOT GAY. It should be a minor “yes, okay, you can, let’s move on.”  
So why is it that heterosexual bigots are screaming like castratos about it? We queers see it as equal protection under the law, but it is not going to affect straight people. It’s not going to affect you like higher unemployment, so go do something about your actual problems, straight people.

As far as us adopting a child? not saying wifey and I will, but I will flat out tell any hypothetical kids the truth-it’s hella easier being straight.

Man you’re pathetic. But I think it wise for you to not debate morals with anyone who doesn’t agree with you on everything. Or is it just SSM that is your litmus test?

But you and I know that you thought about answering the questions I asked you but you realized that your stance wouldn’t stand up to scrutiny. So, I congratulate you on your accurate calculation.

Actually, you’re the one who posted the stupid. I merely asked to you try to explain it. To justify it. And you will go to any length to not answer. Which, I admit, is probably your best course of action. Hell, you’re not smart enough to ably defend a solid position, never mind one so based on emotion and bias as the one you but forth here. But please, continue to NOT answer the questions. The more posts that you offer simply not answering nor defending the position the YOU offered up, the better. Your non-answers are, as a totality, an answer in themselves. That’s what happens to those with big mouths and weak minds. So keep up yer yapping, punk.

I think I’d qualify, because I curl ten-pound dumbbells and don’t like skirts or makeup much.  
Apparently, **Captain Midnight** finds my biceps and practical clothing somehow frightening.

Except he doesn’t know I’m the kind of person who’d try to pry him out of a burning car wreck if I saw him trapped in one, or give him CPR if he had a heart attack in front of me, or that I rescue orphaned kittens, or take injured animals to wildlife rehab, or give to charity when I can(well, now he does).

He just knows I’m a dyke, and to him, that’s the only salient point. Which makes me rather sad and angry.

You’re assuming he meant “muscular.” Maybe he meant [“macular,”](http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/macular) and has something against women with freckles.
