Oh piss off, idiot.
That’s not a “relatet thread.” It’s a forum for your pissing and moaning about how homosexuality is ruining society, and why can’t those gays just keep their sexuality to themselves anyway.
In that thread, you completely avoid every honest and direct question that people ask you, and refuse to engage in any intelligent debate on the subject whatsoever.
The thread is in GD, so i can’t tell you what i think of you over there, but now that you’re here, let me say that you’re a lame jerkoff who is apparently more interested in repeating the same stupid shit than in actually having a debate. To tell you the truth, the very fact that people in that thread continue to ask you genuine questions and offer serious arguments gives you much more credit than you deserve, as you’ve made it clear that you’re not concerned with reason or logic.

That’s not what this thread is about you damn moron. It’s about juveniles behaving in a rude and obnoxious manner. The fact two girls were saliva swapping isn’t terribly relevant - a heterosexual pair doing the exact same thing would have been equally objectionable.
Next time, read the fucking OP before posting.
[QUOTE=Broomstick]
From the NICTD website, regarding rules:
From my viewpoint, performing certain bodily functions in public is rude and disruptive. I mean, taking a good, satisfying shit or piss is one of the pleasures of life, and I’m fully in favor of everyone having a good shit at least once a day, but doing so in public on the public train is not acceptable. (My train does, actually, have restrooms in which such biological functions can be performed, and there is enough room to bang your chosen mate in them, if you really can’t wait until you get home). Picking one’s nose and wiping the boogers on the seats is likewise unacceptable. In Midwestern US society, spilling your drink without even attempting to wipe it up, yelling “FUCK!” without provacation, and “making out” with another human being to the point that your fellow passengers are concerned about sticky seats being left behind is just not acceptable public behavior. Perhaps things are different where you live. In which case please note the difference, in case you ever decide to visit.
As for “arrestable behavior” - “lewd conduct” in public can get you arrested on park benches if you go far enough, I don’t see where it wouldn’t apply to train seats. There are also laws about “public intoxication” and “drunk and disorderly”. The legal drinking age is 21 in both Illinois and Indiana, in which case taking even one mouthful of beer is against the law if any of those girls is younger than that.
In other words, yes, it was “arrestable” behavior. Being on a crowded rush hour train is not like being in a park where the offended can simply leave and go elsewhere - you have a lot of people confined in a small area and thus there must be some restraint and consideration for others..
If you can drink your beer and sit quietly, without bothering anyone else, no one on the train will give a damn. If you’re sober and shouting profanities they will. Likewise, no one will say jack for a quiet kiss, but loud slobbering noises and crotch-rubbing with much theatrical flair and sound effects is simply rude, regardless of numbers involved or sexual orientation.
Mostly like, they were either issued tickets, or else they spent the night in jail without being formerly charged with anything. In the latter case, bascially being confined until they sober up, so as not to offended the rest of the neighborhood with their bratty, boorish behavior.

I understand, but I don’t feel they should get arrested just for being obnoxious. if I were the conductor I would’ve asked them to stop a few times and if they refused I would remove them from the train, but I wouldn’t call the police. What they did would qualify as disorderly conduct here in Indiana (here you have to ask someone to stop being disruptive and them ignore you as a pre-requisite for D.C.) but I still wouldn’t have tried to get them arrested.
A hundred years ago openly talking about birth control was illegal for the same reasons you’ve listed, people found it disgusting and repulsive. Just recently in Russia alot of gays were arrested for even attempting to have a gay pride parade. They hurt noone, they were just considered disgusting.
I know you can’t have a society without unspoken social laws. And I would much rather live in a society where the social laws prohibit things people can control and don’t have much of a personal investement in like making out in public. An unspoken social law prohibiting sexual conduct (which is voluntary and isn’t going to cause pain and suffering in people) is better than an unspoken social law prohibiting homosexuality (which isn’t voluntary and causes alot of pain for the person who is gay). I find things repulsive and disgusting too, and I’d be all in favor of physically removing people who engage in acts I find disgusting in public instead of private when they are asked to stop but do not. but I wouldn’t be in favor of arresting them for it.

What kind of shit is this? You want to be TRAPPED on the goddam train for two and a half hours with drunken assholes? Have you ever been on the SShore?
Jesus Christ. I have been on there with people coming back from a Bear’s game. I was annoyed and the obnoxious factor does not seem as big a Broomstick’s. When you “been there, done that” then maybe you can criticize. You are STUCK on THE FUCKING TRAIN. GET IT? Usually there are only three cars that go all the way and they tend to be SRO, at least to my stop they are.
It is not a gay thing, it’s an “OH MY FUCKING GOD JUST SHUT UP ON THE FUCKING TRAIN AND LET US RIDE IN PEACE” thing.
COME ON, two hours on a train with these shitheads sounds like fun to you?
I know, I know, post anything and someone can find a way to be offended. Comparing civil disobedience to being drunk on a train? That’s not a leap, it’s a pole vault. I’m astounded.
Of course if my wife finds out about drunken lezbos on the SS, I will never be allowed to ride to Chicago alone again.

[QUOTE=Broomstick]
As the ride wore on past university stops and Hyde Park and historic Pullman the girls got progressingly more extroverted, loud, and foul-mouthed. LOTS of “fuck this” and “fuck that”, which progressed from complaints to long, loud, monologues about sex, specifically what they were and weren’t getting. All of which much have given them ideas, because a discussion of kissing soon progressed to demonstration of same, with tongue action.
Then one of 'em straddled another and crotch rubbing ensued.
