Gay Apartheid

But telling people that the only way to survive is to leave leaves me cold too. Because after awhile you'll run out of places to run to. I understand why people stay put in places that don't want them. Who's to say that they shouldn't be there?

Should Matthew Shepard have figured that? Yeah, just as I figure that women can't walk safely alone at night. Doesn't make it right or the victim's fault but it's reality.

But, but... they all have guns! I thought that automatically made it crime free.

Saying that all rabid right-wingers are ignorant morons is not the same thing as saying all ignorant morons are rabid right-wingers.

Saying that all right-wingers are ignorant morons is called prejudice.

I'm not a fan of the right-wing. And I can't say I agree with much of anything that the conservatives are saying these days. But I've had enough of broad brushes, no matter who's doing the tarring and who's getting feathered.

You do realize that when you guys say this stuff it hurts your credibility during actual debates, right? Or rather, you've already said this stuff enough times that you no longer have any credibility during debates, right?

Just checking.

Please read more carefully. I did not say all right-wingers are ignorant morons, I said all RABID right-wingers are ignorant morons. And I stand by that statement.


It's as prejudiced as saying all black people have dark skin.

Gun advocates do not suggest having guns eliminates crime. We point to studies that show crime reduction in areas that allow concealed weapons to be carried.

While I agree with your comparison 100%, there will always be the few anal-retentive hysterical Left-wingers who will point to persons of African descent who have light skin either due to miscegenation or albinism and say you're a racist for making such a horrible generalization!

Uh, you may need to read what you write more carefully. You did not say that all RABID right-wingers are ignorant. You said that typical right-wingers are ignorant.

The documentary evidence. JWBear posted:

You (and JWBear) followed-up with:

Aren't they one in the same?

So you said that all typical right-wingers are (or sound like anyway) typical ignorant morons. Perhaps, you consider rabid right-wingers to be typical of right-wingers but that is still equivalent saying that right-wingers are ignorant morons.

As for your newer contention that it is only all rabid right-wingers who are ignorant morons, I'd need to know how you're using rabid. Though anger and vitriol are not, to my thinking, equivalent to ignorance.
