Another gay rugby player just got beat up because of that post. Tailgater, stop the carnage!

I can't help myself.

Ever since Mitt and his buddies shaved my head I've had a deep disdain for anything associated with Ivy Leagues.

I don't see a problem with either of these statements. Do you? You've got some idea in your head that if an individual accepts a small amount of responsibility for a bad thing happening, that the idiot who actually did the bad thing is somehow off the hook.

I'll personally accept that I have a small percentage of responsibility for every abortion out there. I don't have a problem with that.

We're not talking crimes, we're talking responsibility, two VERY different concepts. Who is responsible for the kid getting raped? I'd say both people, but I certainly wouldn't say that the responsibility the mother bears lessens the responsibility of the pedophile, would you?

I'm arguing FOR personal responsibility. I've said it over and over and over again. An individual being responsible for the words coming out of their pie hole does not lessen the responsibility of an idiot doing something stupid. I'm just advocating that people man-up a bit and accept that they have a responsibility for impacting what idiots think is acceptable or not.

Well, if you're asking for 100% accuracy, neither. I stated in post 1 that my friend managed to fight them off (something no one bothered to read). But ignoring that inaccuracy, I see what you're trying to do here. You're stuck in some sort of "all or nothing" clause. Why can't you accept that large numbers of small actions can impact the world we live in?

"What's the point of this post? There are a lot of idiots out there in this world, probably more than any of you could imagine. And every time I see or hear someone make one of those bullsh$t statements like "I don't agree with X, but if they do it behind closed doors" I think to myself that there is some idiot out there who (correctly) interprets that statement to be "I'm not going to personally do something about it, but I wish those people didn't exist" and decides to take it upon themselves to try to fix that for you."

You stated in your first post that the "point" of your story was to place blame on those of us who choose to discuss such issue lightheartedly.

You go further by stating that we really mean something much worse than we say.

That we "want" someone to take the action.

are black guys allowed to play rugby..?? 😕

Yeah.... so? Own it. Again, stop thinking responsibility is finite. Just because I think individuals who passive-aggressively make comments suggesting they wish they never had to see a gay man in their lives have some responsibility for attacks against gay men DOESN'T mean I lessen the responsibility the attackers have. And for the record, my statement was in no way directed towards any "lighthearted" comments.

I can feel their Pain and it makes me wanna cry...

Cue the Kenny G music!

Well, for the record, all of my comments were light-loafered.

I mean, lighthearted...

see... now that's funny. 🙂

Dunno.... between 7-10? Why do you ask?

😂

I don't know but you would be partially responsible just for asking that question.
