I thought battyman was Bruce Wayne. Who, last I heard, preferred to date women. (Although his relationship with Dick Grayson has been called into question more than once.)

[Another of **matt** ’s threads](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=241117&page=1&pp=50) that should be required reading for anyone who has trouble taking this seriously.

To all of you who are thinking that the homophobia is only in the lyrics: [Buju Banton wanted for gay-bashing](http://www.queerday.com/archives/005577.html).

When was there _ever_ a time when “live and let live” was the overwhelming philosophy? Looking through history, it’s pretty much always been “_kill the bastards!!_”

Well, no, if it’s spoken outside the US…

Under UK law there are limits on _violent_ political speech; the National Front has been getting censored for years (although not enough).

This whole Reggae-for-Hate movement is pretty fucking disturbing, incidentally.
