Warbler's hypothetical is more analogous to there being no left-handed people, than blacks and jews. It would be simpler if there were no left-handed people. Not because such people are necessarily undesirable, but functionally it would just be easier.

exactly.

yeah, how about if we were all gray, hairless, mute blobs? boy that would be the best! no gender, no language, no intercourse, no anything!

I don't think Warb is being deliberately fascistic.

He may be expressing views which accidentally chime with that sort of ideology and need to have a good hard think about what he is saying there.

Replace the word "homosexuals" with "Jews", "gay" with "Jewish", "straight" with "Christian","genders" with "religions", "transgenders" with" Mormons" and the sentence is just as worryingly wacky.

Yeah, but never the less, I was really offended by that statement. And hyperbole is my weapon against such pinnacles of ignorance.

I mean wow, I've heard some homophobic slurs in my time, but this ranks up there with this.

Harmy's THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK Despecialized Edition HD - V2.0 - MKV & AVCHD (Released)
Time

If I'm not mistaken, what you have there is PAL speedup. In Europe, and therefore also in Spain, before the arrival of HD tvs and bluray technology, we used the PAL system, that for technical reasons required all film content to be sped up by roughly 4%.

Harmy's release, on the other hand, conforms to proper film speed, and so you would need to slow down your soundrack to match that.

I would suggest you to take a look at the "How-To's and Technical Discussionssubforum, specifically this thread:

yes this, exactly.  If I could work my will, there would be no homosexuals, everyone would be straight and be fine with it.   No one would want to be gay and no one would want to switch genders.  Things would be so much simpler that way.  No offense to homosexuals or transgenders intended.

O H  G O O D  G O D .

 

You know, Warb, Google Maps tells me Skokie is only a 12 hour drive from where you live. Not that long of a trip to meet some nice like minded people with green shirts.

Mmmh, too bad you're 30 years too late. Even that ship has sailed.

Aw, come on, Warbler. I come back after all this time and already there's a *sigh*.  I really do want to know... when you're using the bathroom, a state most people regardless of orientation would consider less than attractive, what does someone's sexuality matter?  Why does it make you feel more comfortable to pretend all men are straight when you're in there?  If you happen to catch an accidental wandering eye when you're peeing, does it ultimately make any practical difference what that person is attracted to, even if you somehow managed to find out with no uncertainty?  Is there going to be any other outcome besides you finishing your business, washing your hands (hopefully), and going about your life?

call me a prude, but I don't want anyone looking my stuff when I am doing my business.  Straight men would have no desire to look at my stuff where as a gay man might, so I guess it just makes me more comfortable to assume all the men in the restroom are straight.  Again call me a prude and call me old fashioned, but I think men's and women's bathrooms should be kept separate.  It has worked fine for years and I just don't want to my business at a urinal when ladies are present.  

but why would anyone want to look at other people's junk while they're doing their business? unless you're that small percent of the population that's into that sorta thing, you're not gonna do that.

 Straight men would have no desire to look at my stuff where as a gay man might...

Assuming and self-absorbed much?

Jesus in Australia

A lot of people in this country pooh-pooh Australian table wines. This is a pity, as many fine Australian wines appeal not only to the Australian palette, but also to the cognoscenti of Great Britain.

"Black Stump Bordeaux" is rightly praised as a peppermint flavoured Burgundy, whilst a good "Sydney Syrup" can rank with any of the world's best sugary wines.

"Chateau Bleu", too, has won many prizes; not least for its taste, and its lingering afterburn.

"Old Smokey, 1968" has been compared favourably to a Welsh claret, whilst the Australian wino society thouroughly recommends a 1970 "Coq du Rod Laver", which, believe me, has a kick on it like a mule: 8 bottles of this, and you're really finished -- at the opening of the Sydney Bridge Club, they were fishing them out of the main sewers every half an hour.

Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is "Perth Pink". This is a bottle with a message in, and the message is BEWARE!. This is not a wine for drinking -- this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.

Another good fighting wine is "Melbourne Old-and-Yellow", which is particularly heavy, and should be used only for hand-to-hand combat.

Quite the reverse is true of "Chateau Chunder", which is an Appelachian controle, specially grown for those keen on regurgitation -- a fine wine which really opens up the sluices at both ends.

Real emetic fans will also go for a "Hobart Muddy", and a prize winning "Cuiver Reserve Chateau Bottled Nuit San Wogga Wogga", which has a bouquet like an aborigine in his armpit.

 

 

"Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, riding through the night,

soon every lupin in the land will be in his mighty hand,

he steals em from the rich, and gives em to the poor,

Mr Moore, lupin donor, extraor.... dinary!"

Jesus in Australia

Apparently Jesus is going to write new commandments.

They are as follows:

I . Thou shalt have no poofters.

II . Thou shalt not maltreat the "Abbos" in any way whatsoever—if there's anyone watching.

III . Thou shalt have no poofters.

IV . Thou shalt not drink in thy room after lights out.

V . Thou shalt have no poofters.

VI. Thou shalt not have.... a sixth commandment.

VII . Thou shalt have no poofters.
