Good Lord, this is still going on? Please tell my you guys haven't been up all night.

Hey Warik

I'm with you buddy on this one. People need thicker skin if they are going to post here. When I first started posting here, I let things bother me to the point of making remarks as wyst has by calling them idiots, shit for brains, fucking dickhead, blah, blah, blah.(wyst, before you fly off at me...save it because I've heard it before....I'm just making reference to what has already been pointed out.) Wyst made a reference that I must be gay cause I posted on this thread saying "this thread was gay." Cheap shot but nonetheless funny. Warik, you are doing a fine job here and don't let anybody tell you any different.

As far as RyanH's friend committing suicide.....it's very sad that someone would resort to that. What a waste. Suicide is not the answer but some people can't handle the truth.

Yes, I apologized a little higher up for calling warik a fucking idiot. I has out of line. I do think that Warik tends to create these situations, which I think is kind of beneath where a mod on the board should be, however.

I was only kidding about you being gay because you posted on this thread, just as I thought you were only kidding about calling this whole thread gay. I hope you took it that way; as a bisexual myself, I intended it as a tongue-in-cheek remark. If I offended you, my bad.

I also agree that suicide is not an answer. I thought that the thread was talking about how to reach people who are too sad to realize that. I think that sometimes people who are depressed for whatever reason can do very stupid and sad things, and it's good to think about ways to help them get well again, that's all.

No offense taken....I thought it was funny!

Most straight people do tend to be somewhat fond of breasts. Imagine that - your statistical sampling is true!

You mentioned that that's "the problem with stereotyping." No, the problem with stereotyping is not that they exist - the problem with stereotyping is that people foolishless let negative stereotypes affect them. You do realize, of course, that no one can offend you without your permission, right?

If I called you a big dumb doofus right now, I'm certain it wouldn't phase you at all. Why? Because it's untrue. So why does someone thinking: "oh, he prances around like a fairy... there is a strong chance that he is a homosexual" bother you?

-Warik

LOL...nice try. Having an interest in breasts isn't the same thing as having a behavioral fetish and we are talking about behavior. If you want to reform statistical theory, go for it. I'm gonna let my partner, who is the chief designer of statistical analysis for CDC, know about this. It's going to make his work so much cheaper and easier. The taxpayers are gonna be so happy! Instead of random sampling, he can just pick the easiest locations to sample and then generalize to an entire population. KEWL!!!!

Nobody can offend you without your permission? Um, lemme see. If I'm denied housing and employment on the basis of my sexual orienation, which is quite legal, I should not be offended. And of course, not being offended, I should just move on without protest, is that right? Because to protest would be to become flagrant. Wait. I know. You're going to give me a special definition of what it means to be "offended."

I couldn't care less that you demean some gay people. I already said that. What I resent is your ridiculous effort to represent prejudice as rational. Do I need to re-quote that feelings-free statment you made earlier, the one that followed your insistence that we all remain unemotional? Here it is:

""I honestly don't care as long as I don't have to be subjected to witnessing any acts of homosexuality or flagrant displays of flaming gayness (i.e. tight pink shirts with limp wrists and a nasty liTHHHHHP), but I wish you'd stop crying about it. Wahhh homosexuals are stereotyped! How many times do I have to say it? "

You don't like, on a visceral, emotional level, certain aspects of homosexuality. Fine. But don't try to pass your distaste off as rational. As you say, you DO have a choice about this and you choose to continue promoting disgust. You choose irrationality while demanding the rest of us be "logical."

I'm going to lunch. I have nothing more to say about this -- a fact that will delight Gymtime.

I find you funny and amusing, often convincing, in most respects, Warik, but I believe you have a significant blind spot in this respect. I hope, as I said earlier, you find someone you respect to listen to who doesn't share your opinions, at some point in your life.

you're too late. Been there. I'm a barbecue fanatic, and still love Aleck's Comeback Barbecue on Auburn Ave., best, though these are also favorites:

Swallow at the Hollow in Roswell, gourmet stuff

Factory's on Blvd., weird barbecue from the Midwest

Daddy D'z for ribs, grant park

Rockin' Rob's -- barbecue with weird sauces and a huge colledtion of vinyl records, any of which the'll play for you

Flying Pig in Hapeville, though I don't know if it's still open. YOu used to sit on car seats here and they served the cue on a piece of wax paper!

hae Woon Dae -- Korean barbecue cooked at the table

Spiced Right, couple of locations, and that place out by the prison -- the one with the jigsaw Jesuses on the walls, can't think of the name.

Now I'm really hungry.

1) Gay men are more promiscuous. This has mostly to do with the fact that women on the whole are harder to get into bed than men, gay or str8. A study done in the mid to late 80's of gay men in San Francisco, and tha Avg number of partners was 450! That had been declining mastly due to fear of AIDS, but this trend has been reversing itslef for the last 5-8 years with the new drug protocols making AIDS seem more manageable!
2) AIDS. Man this really bohers me, but sadly the gay population is largely infected with this virus. Of my friends (which are gay) 80% of the are HIV +. While the CDC puts the figure at around 30-35%, that is only including people who get tested! We both know that there are alot more out there, who are sick and know it, but refuse to get tested, because they wish to deny that they are sick. While the CDC's numbers are low, it is a static figure. But I would say that the chances of a gay man contracting HIV during his life are closer to 80-90%. What scares me is that not only is promiscuity on the rise, instances of safe sex are going down.l

So am I predjudiced when I think gays are promiscuous and that AIDS is more prevalent in gay circles?

essentially yes.
