Andy: _hugs_. I’m sure with the influence of honest, loving human beings such as yourself, your friend will come out of this as pretty, witty, & gaily gay as yourself. Before I met him, my ex Matt from Toronto used to be an evangelical Christian; like, one of the really _really_ crazy sects. He almost got drawn into an ex-gay program, but thank the Goddess realized what was going on and got himself out of both the program and the religion. There is hope. ---

Is Puddlegum fucking mental or just dense? You guys don’t understand, we can’t determine if he’s either with the evidence presented. It’s not a sampling of his mental denseness because we haven’t looked at all his other posts to see if he’s an ass in them too. We were just refered to these posts by people who are trying to make the argument that he’s a mental case, not people who are against the idea, so obviously… lmao ---

When I was 16, our class got a replacement teacher for Economics. He started to tell about himself, and explained his religion. He was part of a very conservative christian group called a _Pinkstergemeente_ (I don’t know the exact English phrase. It literally translates to “Pentecost Community”. Does that make sense?). He continued to explain, using a well-liked English teacher (who happened to be gay) as an example, that he couldn’t sit down in the teachers room next to a gay person. His “religion” prohibited him from even conversing with gays. I stood up and called him an ignorant shithead. He threw a hissy fit, and tossed me out to meet the school principal. I explained why I felt compelled to stand up and say something. The principal understood, and the replacement teacher was forbidden to EVER discuss his “religion” on school premises again. I’m still proud I did that. I dunno, I just thought it would fit in here. ---

Coldfire, I was thinking about telling you I loved you when you posted about ol’ whashisface’s being an experiment in “psychology school.” But now I’m sure. I love you. 😉 **DDG** , because it’s more fun than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick? ---

**Coldfire** , you rock. And just for the record, science has proven that **puddleglum** is, to borrow a phrase, an ignorant shithead. No, really. Proven. P - R - O - V - E - N. Proven.

Note Zombie!!! I know that I should start a new thread for myself, and the fact that I tried to engage in a debate with puddleglum without searching for a thread like this. But I just wish they could be honest, that they think that “race” means anything and that they would come out and admit that their argument is plain racist and bigoted.
