And yet that’s exactly what you’re attempting to do. I’m flattered that my comments inspired you to post such a long rebuttal.

Nick, in all seriousness, I’m very sorry to hear that you were sexually molested by homosexual men numerous times as a child. Men who prey on children need to be castrated at the very least.

I don’t wish to get into a debate with you over this topic, Nick. We unfortunately know by now how that usually ends.

Patrick, I respect you ..just sometimes you say things that..well..yes you are right, we shouldn't argue, but stay friends. I kinda hoped your reply, which I expected as promptly as it arrived ..would be in the vein it was, inspite of my somewhat disparaging dismissal of your comment,and I am glad we understand each other enough to not get embroiled in more heated disputes
I would be quite happy to hear any views you have on the things I posted above: I put them out there for people to debate with me.Debate, not deride, etc.
And thanks once more, for your remarks about certain episodes in my young life. I have alluded to a couple of them in earlier threads, so it hasn't been something that was made up today, or yesterday,to justify my feelings. I still am haunted by those events, at times.I wouldn't wish them on any young child. Oh, by the way, they stopped just as soon as I realised I was able to defend myself Except for one, where I was put at risk by circumstances which I should have realised might invite trouble. Walking home, 13 miles, at night, after my Lambretta broke down in the middle of nowhere.17 years old, and STILL pretty naive, even after all that had happened to me before.That time, I struck back.A youngish man stopped his car, said he knew my brothers, adn would run me home. Then....He parked up in a layby, undid his clothes, and told me what I had to do, to get home safely. He must have thought I was going to acquiesce, because I leaned over to his side...and snatched the keys from the ignition, leaped out the car, threw the keys into a nearby ditch full of water, and ran like hell. Last view I had was of him, knee-deep in the water, groping for his keys...served him right, the bastage.Never had the courage, or perhaps the shame was too much, to ask my brothers if they DID know him. Wasn't the first time some of their 'friends' had hit on me.

Live and let live, why cant both parties do that? I don’t care what you do just so you don’t try to force it on me. If we work together and you do your job what do I care. If you ask me to work for you and I am uncomfortable because your making remarks then I am within my rights to move on or turn down the work. No different than telling the hot chick at work what you would like to do to her, you can think it but keep it to yourself. There are lots of people that lead alternate life styles and you would never know. They are happy and share some of the same hobbies that we do. They don’t try to shock us with it.

I’m a white heterosexual male in my early 40s and I’m tired of being labeled a bigot because I’m just trying to live my life the way I want. I don’t force myself on others and just want the same treatment.
I would mow their lawn if they paid me enough but the first comment about my ass and they would have to finish the job.

So if your parents admitted "uncle bob" (use that fictionous name) was your babysitter growwing up, you wouldnt have minded or be mad at them?

A gay person would be lucky to get 100 ft within my kids before the gaydar sets off. Enough corruption and crap going on in the world without helping it. But I know Johnny will disagree with me just for the sake of disagreeing..

There is nothing wrong with you raising your kids in the environment you want. That’s my point, I don’t feel its discrimination. Its your lifestyle and the way you choose to raise your kids, why is it anyone else’s place to tell you any different. As long as your not hurting your kids then everyone else should butt out.

Im not going to waste most of my time reading through the other 5 pages, and probably wont read anymore after my reply, but i did read the original post by blackrams, and ill throw in my two cents.

People have the right to refuse service to anyone they want to,

to me though, if he refuses service to gays, thats his own business, however for the homosexuals to put down the business as they have, does that make them bigots for the wrong doings they have done to the landscaping company for not appreciating their religious beliefs?

they could have said ok and went their own ways, but it seems to me that these types of things happen cause people cant leave well enough alone....

If i work for someone cause they are a convicted sex offender, do you think im going to worry about it if he calls up all his sex offender buddys and tells them not to hire me? hell no i wont worry, ill be happy i wouldnt ever have to work for someone like that.

the way i look at it, the landscaping company will now have plenty of business with people who have the same ideals and thoughts that they do, and maybe lackey and lord can open up a Gay landscaping business to cater to people with their ideals.

not real sure if any of what i posted will make sense to anyone else but atleast it made sense to me

Whos uncle bob.. A gay, or a pedophile, because THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. Because no, I would not be mad at ALL if my babysitter was gay?! I really can't comprehend why you would be? I chill with a gay almost every day, and I'd have absolutely 100% no problem letting him around anybody. Thats the stupidest thing you've ever said. It's amazing.. Simply amazing..

And fierofetish, patrick is talking about reaction formation, which is actually apparently quite common.
