[Moderator Hat: ON] Ok, I’ve had it. I’m locking the thread. Saying “Sorry” to me does not mean it’s ok to throw in a flame. And dammit, Orion, will you learn to quote properly?! This thread is over. * * * David B, Pissed Off SDMB Great Debates Moderator [Moderator Hat: OFF] ---

> [@](#): > > 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. ---

Aw hell. I trusted the CGI, and it told me nothing was happening. I’d delete the extras but since I’m closing this anyway, I’m not going to bother. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/homosexuality-a-crime/17687.md?page=18)
