I already had. It was **Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor** that refused to do so. I ask you, would you have let it go if someone called you a rude punk? After a quick read of some of your BBQ Pit posts, I tend to doubt it. 🙂 ---

Coming in late on this thread, of course. Yeah, I know this was all covered before, but I still had to say it in my own way. This extreme reaction to the “holier than thou” virgins is troubling. This reminds me a lot of the reaction some people have to vegetarians. Sure, some vegetarians are holier-than-thou pains in the ass. So, if you meet one and they start preaching to you, tell them to go away. Tell them to take a hike. Tell them that they are santimonious pains in the ass and ball them out. But don’t go on some sort of twisted campaign to get them to eat meat. That’s just petty, small, and twisted. (And yet, some people will do this, and will be proud of themselves for doing it.) And, **most importantly, don’t assume that EVERY vegetarian you meet is automatically a santimonious pain in the ass. Just because some are, it doesn’t mean they all are. LET THEM PROVE THEMSELVES TO BE PAINS IN THE ASS BEFORE YOU GIVE THEM A HARD TIME.** I can’t help but keep repeating this last part, because some people just can’t seem to get this important detail through their heads. And same goes for virginity. So someone has been “holier than thou” about their virginity? Fine, stay away from them. Leave them alone. Tell them they are a pain in the ass and _then_ stay away. But don’t bitch about them, or try to engage in some sneaky campaign to get them to lose their virginity. Don’t rejoice when someone else tries to get them to lose their virginity. That’s beyond sleazy. And, just like with vegetarians, **DON’T ASSUME EVERY VIRGIN IS BEING SANCTIMONIOUS.** Sheesh. Some people make personal decisions and they have _nothing_ to do with anyone else. And I have to say this too: those who gnash their teeth just a _little_ too much about “those holier-than-thou vegetarians” or “those holier-than-thou virgins” are saying a lot about _themselves_, not the vegetarians or virgins. I’ve had people get real defensive _real_ fast when they discovered I was a vegetarian (and no, I don’t “preach” about it, I try to be as low-key as possible about it). But people get all worked up about it anyway–rushing to explain how they “don’t eat much meat” (I didn’t ask, don’t care), or that “you have to eat meat to survive!” (I didn’t ask, don’t care). I think this applies to virginity as well. Who cares if someone else is a virgin? If someone is really bitter and pissed off about those “sanctimonious virgins”, I’d say that they are more than a few issues of their own to deal with. Unless they are claiming that they are constantly being accosted by holier-than-thou virgins all day, what’s the big deal? It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round. If you don’t agree with someone else’s personal moral decisions–just don’t talk about that particular topic with them, or just stay away from them. ---

What I actually wonder about, how did **godzillatemple** find this thread? I wonder the same thing about other zombie threads, too, but we’re here now. Did you have a sudden urge to find out whether Britney was a virgin or not?
