Never mind, carry on

 

Ah, that. Yeah. I always have quite a difficulty in adressing persons on a forum correct, when only knowing some nicks, when the nicks are kinda forming some grammatical form to my limited english. :) In the sentenced "TV's Frink" or just "Frink" sounded so misplaced...

I am not a native english speaker, and I allways had much problems learning some language. In schopol I only had english as first foreign language and latin as second, because in pronouncing words which are written complete other way than pronounced, I am.. well you wouldn't stop laughing when hearing me speaking english. (You know the movie "Hercules in New York with Schwarzenegger? Take the original english audio not redubbed, and I would say, I am almost as bad as Mr. Schwarzenegger :) )

I try my best not to write "googlish" (I didn't know such thing exist until the one with the fanfic for sold at amazon brought it up), but, it is obviously me failing. :)

On one point Mr. Frink is indeed very correct:

HotRod should be old and wise enough to know, that this kind of humor, even if not meant to be an offense, can offend people, not sharing that kind of humor.

On the other point:

The "Ho-Ho-Homo Christmas" line was to cheesy, to really read as an insult, but generally the "Homo" is more an insult from heterosexual people towards homosexual people, and not as normal as the non offensive, more as "brother" meant n-word along black folks. Or when did homosexual people starts conversations like "Hi homo, you won't believe what happend today." - "What happened, oh my homo friend, but not boyfriend?" - "I called Detlef a hetero, because he was drinking an ale!" - "No he didn't?!" - "Oh, yes, he did. A cold Ale, from the bottle, exactly as a hetero would do." - "Oh dear!"

So, please stop picking on Mr. Frinks, he wasn't that wrong at all.

May we finally get a proper release of the OOT in 2014.

 Produced by Santa Clause himself, delivered by the Easter Bunny... sure...

Transferred and restored by Satan Disney. I don't mind an unholy alliance of rabbits and creepy unshaven fat guys if that's what it takes to get it done.

 Maybe there is an app for that. An "Form an unholy alliance App".

I hate cigarettes, but I have many friends who smoke 'em. Right in front of me even. I don't hate or even dis-like them for it, but I don't condone it, like it or support it.

Is that similar?

 

Maybe your reaction is similar to the reactions, some, or much, people have towards homosexual people.

But there are some differences between being a smoker and being homosexual:

Smoking is an addiction, also it is something people volunteer started. Smoking is drug using. So, you may choose being a smoker, but it is no choice of beeing homosexual or heterosexcual.

Other similarity: A smoker can choose, if he want to smoke in public. Also it is a choose, if sexualiuty is lived out free in public.

But while a heterosexual couple kissing in public is indeed something ordinary around these days, homosexuals kissing in public is not.

I think the biggest mistake is, that people believe that sexuality is a thing to choose. Somewhere I read a nice adviose to homophobic parents, who want ther children to sstop beeing homosexual: "If it is just something your children chose to anger you, then you can stop beeing a heterosexual for the time of a month. Go get started."

One point is that heterosexual people tend to associate their sexuality as "state of the art", because it is the most common sexuality, also it is the kind of sexuality that tend to reproduce live. This would maybe somekind of true, if sexual expressions would only be for reproduction, but hum,ans have another important point with sex: Thex express love to each other. (Okay: some pople use sex to show who is the boss, to feel superior, and so on, but this is the evil side of mankind. That are the true beeings who shall prosecuted. And you found such evil behaviour at heterosexuals and homosexuals as well.)

Shouldn't it be more important, that people stop hurting each other, instead of discuss points of view or believe?

Some People think that homosexuality is bad, either because they believe it is a sin, or because they are afraid or something like that regarding homosexuality.

Others belive it is as normal as being straight.

Well, in my opinion: The most important point is loving somebody, no matter if it is not the same, or the same sex.

Additionally it is important not to harm anyone. So, if heterosexual or homosexual, or bisexual or whatever, it may not be the persons choice what he/she desire, but it is up to her/him, if somebody is harmed.

To the equality rights: Where are the rights of freedom, when there is a more than one class society, just because of such things as sexuality or religion?

Maybe someone has not to agree with the believe that homosexual couples should have the same rights as heterosexual, but giving them the rights, won't cut the rights of the disbeliefer. It just won't meet his personal believes, but it will keep his own rights untouched.

And specially for the americans, I'll just post a quote from the fourteenth amendement to the United States Constitution:

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

It is not "All heterosexuals born or..." etc.

but it states "equal protection of the laws".

The Golf Discussion Thread (discussions on Crazy Golf, Mario Golf and the various gray areas in-between are also welcomed)

I don't have just one handycap, I have manies.

Sure I also have to substitute a missing sports car with a big...

Also I am very impatient, and it's not allowed to shoot the lame ass retired doctors down the grass with the Golfballs.

And third: I hate sunlight. And it is hard to find a nightly usable Golfcourt.

Ask the godless heathen - AKA Ask An Atheist
Time

As an atheistic thread this is a lot about catholic religion...

I would consider myself not very atheistic, nor very religious. I prfer to have my own thoughts on something. I don't know if there is some higher entity than humans, but I think if there is, I won't call it "god". So, beliving, that it is possible, that there are some kind of higher developed beings, I am surely not a true etheist, or am I?

To the ongoing "gay vs. catholic teachings" discussions:

Isn't the whole problem with religions, no matter what, not the religion itself, but what human interpret into their teachings and writings? Personally I won't consider "god" as an "existing entity", it is more an "idea". It is more that rules of ethic are getting some kind of face in faith.

To say it with the Saints:

"You shall not kill, you shall not rape, you shall not steal."

Who is Ignoring You, and Who are You Ignoring? (was: Who is Ignoring You? (was: Hello all, I'm back!))
Time

You have no users on your ignore list.

1 member has you on their ignore list:

Wow. I am impressed... ah.. no, not impressed.. I would say, I am a bit of wondering.. "why"?

Too bad, there is no helpful hint for that, like, when I was put upon an ignoring list. Would it not be nice, If it would be able to set up an comment, when ignoring someone, with a reason, so the ignored person could check if it something to work at...

I just read a Bit in the ric Observation thread, and I would Bote to bring ric back.

Argument Against True and only ric mightbe the sock puppet rule, but: normaly a sock Account seems to be defined as an account only the person behind it is aware of its sock Status. With Ric it is now sometimes different: (Almost) everybody would know of its humorous Origin, and that it is just an ironic contra Troll account. It won't really fool anyone. So it may be discutable, if the sock Account rule really Apply.

 Is this Googlish?

 No. It is "Fight Hard and loose against iPad autocowrection"-ish.
