Why do the Gay (not that there is anything WRONG with that)members of this board continually post to subject matters that really don’t pertain to them? I don’t get it…we KNOW you are gay…wear it as a badge of honor if YOU wish.It’s your prerogitive to BE or DO what you wish.Please don’t force it on others.I feel the same way with religious preferences.Worship any Deity you see fit…but personally, I have my own beliefs AND sexual preferences thank you.I really don’t wanna see/hear/read about yours. ---

Are you fucking kidding me? Are you saying that homosexuals may only post to threads which explicitly involve homosexuality? I’m a computer programmer; does that mean I can only post to threads which involve computer programming? Can people with kids only post to threads about child-raising? They’re not **forcing** anything on you, moron. If you “don’t wanna see/hear/read about” certain things, then maybe you’d just better hole up in a compound somewhere, where the information comes to you nice and filtered. I dearly hope this is a case of someone’s username being spoofed by someone else, but I doubt it. I could go on, but I suspect that when others get wind of this (Esprix, please?) they’ll roast you to a fair-thee-well. Choad. ---

No, really, some of my best friends are gay . . . :rolleyes: Listen up, fucknuts–you ain’t gonna tell me what does or does not pertain to me. Or anyone else. Check that: you can tell, but no one’s going to listen. Keep yammering, kiddo. ---

Manhattan…cite #1 MPSIMS breast thread…OP begins by extolling the virtues of the FEMALE breast,whereas someone posts “I like Man breasts” . IMHO THIS subject should not interest or “pertain” to a gay man. Correct? Isn’t that like ME going into a Jewish Temple and yelling "I love Jesus!? It would not technically be wrong,but it sure would annoy alot of people. ---

I see. And if I posted to the thread that I was more of a leg and ass man, would I get my very own Pit thread? ---

> [@](#): > > Isn’t that like ME going into a Jewish Temple and yelling "I love Jesus!? No, dumbass, it’s like shouting to a room full of people “I like women’s breasts,” and someone responding “I don’t.” Or, to go with your completely idiotic “analogy,” it’s like extolling the virtues of Judiasm _in a public forum for discussion and opinion_ and someone else saying “I prefer Christianity.” Why is this difficult for you? ---

I for one agree with the OP. I’m sick and fucking tired of flaming gays like Esprix and matt\_mcl shoving their gayness in my face when me and my hetero buddies are having a nice tit-thread. TITS ARE FOR HETEROS! IT’S GODS WILL! Also, I want all automobile mechanics to fuck the hell off when me and my motorbike buddies are discussing two-wheelers. And all Rolling Stones fans need to get the hell out of Beatles threads. And the Hugenots need to leave France. ---

Hey…let me remind you WHO started the name calling first,ok? Don’t have a hissy fit.As you stated,this is a public forum, right?I’m as entitled to my opinion as much as you are.It’s difficult for me because for the most part ones sexual preference is ones OWN business.Don’t ask/don’t tell.For the most part WE already know the poster is GAY.Why tell us…again? I’m Christian…oh…by the way,did I tell you I’m Christian? Hey…did you guys know I’m Christian? Do you guys care that I’m Christian? Let me rephrase that…I worship God. ::yawn:: Manhattan,possibly…If we already knew you were a leg and ass man,having been told 4 thousand times. ---

Abortion…now theres a good one. I would have to say that it is the womans body and she has the right to do as she sees fit.No state or Government should legislate that.THAT would be forcing someones belief on someone else.Get it? ---
