Re: gays not welcomed
 

Today, the Senate appears ready pass legislation that would finally ban workplace discrimination against gays, lesbians, and the transgendered. Because it's 2013, and there are still 29 states where it is entirely legal to fire someone for their sexual preference. Crazy, right? You can't fire anyone for being black, or a woman, or a Hindu. But you can can send them packing based on whom they date.

Exactly...not just because of that in BOLD, but also because it's got nothing to do with work productivity of the person. In my line of work, I wouldn't want anyone that isn't up to the task just because they happen to be Hetero, certain colour or gender, as opposed to a competent person that happens to be Gay....couldn't care less as longer as the intent of "higher" is being met, and the mission is accomplished.

Offensive...it was meant to be !!!! But opposite to what you may presume.
Peoples ways, choices, non choices, origin, being put into statistics, go against
My grain, we are all a part of a great meltingpot, how we comeout may depend on taste, and depends on the pallet......but we must accept, if not understand, the differences that makes up our human traits.
We as humans have problems as individules, to find it difficult to acceptehrn we dont
Understand......
?like Germans who cant understand vineger on FnC

No. We don't have to accept paedophilia. Most of us have no interest in understanding it. It's not proper or funny to equate any form of activity conducted between consenting adults with the exploitation of people who cannot consent.

Why is your writing so bad Fuch.? Capitals in the wrong places, sentence fragments, misspelling to the point of illegibility? You said you're not a bot, but what's happening here? Are you using a speech recognition program or something? It's quite unusual, even for around here. :confused:

Doesn't the fact that people using them have to apologise all the time for sending gibberish suggest that the device is a bad idea? People who type messages without having access to a proper keyboard are behaving as rudely as those who telephone from a mobile phone in Canada "Eh? What? Say again, I'm on a cell. Yeah, I got cut off again, anyway, what?"

Buy a proper PC and walk over to say what you have to say, ffs.

I think it's more a case of a bad workman always blames his tools.I often use a tablet to post on here, but make the effort to produce a properly formatted post. You don't like tablets?
