> [@](#): > > 10% WRONG WRONG WRONG Which means of course, that it is 90% right. > [@](#): > > First of all: there was never 10% It’s a conspiracy by math teachers… > [@](#): > > It’s this old lie from the fagots once again where they say that 10% of the population is gay. Fagot is french for “bundle of sticks”. I’m not sure why they’re lying about gay people. Of course it is a lie since “10%” doesn’t really exist. > [@](#): > > This happend right before Clintons election in 1996-97 or so, when the fagots asserted that they represented 10% of the voters. Yet again the bundles of wood are representing themselves in the media, and now they’re voting. These things are pretty dangerous. Not to mention the further showing of this whole “10 %” thing. My my my, whatever shall we do. > [@](#): > > They tested this assertion and found out that it was just 3% of the population that considered them selves a gay/lesbian. Who is “they” and how did they test it? Furthermore, I don’t recall that they(the bundles of wood) said that 10 % of the voters were gay. Not everyone votes you know… (in any case this statistic seems pretty dubious, care to provide some support for it?) > [@](#): > > And I believe that this number are less in the sportsworld, since most gays are too soft. Not when they see a cute guy they’re not… > [@](#): > > Don’t get me wrong: I still think that homosexual activity should be > illegal. Yes you do, you started off this topic saying it should be. For heavens sake, the name of this topic is “Homosexuality, a crime?” …Unless of course it was those dastardly bundles of wood putting words in your mouth again… Sigh.

> [@](#): > > You have forgotten the last part here. > The part where Orion turns to the US army and becomes their leader. (as you all know the USarmy is very anti-gay) Yup, nothing to create an anti-gay atmosphere like a group of men secluded from normal society. With no access to women. Sleeping together(er, I mean in the same rooms), showering together, dressing in front of each other, undressing in front of each other. Yeah, theres none of that stuff in the military… > [@](#): > > Orion have a lot of Atomic bombs, stealth airplanes, cannons, guns and ships. Uh-huh. riiiiiiight. > [@](#): > > This makes the gays scared and they finally see that they must change their evil way. Yup, nothing like overwhelming military force to convince people of their moral incorrectness. > [@](#): > > Orion said that he would leave the gays alone if they promised to not have sex with each other. But it’s ok if they have sex with straight people right? Even straight people of the same sex right? Just as long as it isn’t two gay people… > [@](#): > > They agree and everybody lived happely from now on. Yeah, thats right. Thank you for making sqrlcub’s tale look like non-fiction. > [@](#): > > About gay in sport. As versus what…serious in sport? > [@](#): > > Some are gay (but very few). And they are mostly americans. Them damn amurkins. > [@](#): > > In Europe we have soccer as the no.1 sport(we in Europe call’s it football, but the americans insist calling it soccer) and you don’t find any gays there. > Not a chance. Yeah, theres no veiled homoeroticism in sports. It’s just a whole bunch of guys sharing a locker room, and getting all sweaty while they try to score on each other. Yup, nothing there. And let’s not forget such wonderfully masculine sports such as wrestling… Oh and by the way I’m still rather dubious of the claim that you’re from Europe…care to back up that statement at all? * * * Still later, Gerald did a terrible thing to Elsie with a saucepan. ---
