Wow, popular topic. Checked it out this am, at 1 page, now at 5. Just my 2 cents coming up here. I was raised extremely religously, anti homosexual, anti abortion, anti f***ing everything. Eventually I decided to get my own view. Didn't know any gays, knew of a few, didn't know them. So I got to know them, two guys who live down the street from me. Know what, they're 2 of the coolest people I know. They know I'm not gay and they have never tried to push it on me (no pun intended :P ).

I met a girl 2 summers ago, got to know her a little, a couple months later , find out she's a stripper. You know what, they are PEOPLE. PEOPLE FOR f*** SAKES!!!!!!!! Yet they get treated like absolute garbage. My best friend of over 10yrs told me that he couldn't be my friend anymore if I was going to be friends with the "likes of that whore". Yet previous to finding out, he and his wife both thought she was a great girl, "marriage material", now she's a 2 bit whore to them. You know who I'm friends with? Her, and a few of her coworkers. Haven't talked to him in a year and a half, he won't return my calls and he blocked my email address. I feel sorry for his children.

People in this society need to grow the hell up, let's boycott ford because they supposedly support gays and their desires for marriage. Why don't we boycott cadillac because they make the escalade, which is one of the most desired vehicles for "gangsta's" to drive, or how about harley davidson motorcycles because the hells angels ride them. How about banning music!!! How much "negativity" is in music.

Some would like us to believe that the civil rights movement was damaging to our society, that it should have stayed the way it was. Some would like to rewrite american history to see to it that the South won the civil war. They say it would have been a better way.

I went and saw the V for Vendetta, the other day. Good action flick, but what a scary thought ocurred to me as I was watching it. Gays, lesbians, art collectors, historians, criminals, people out after a state set curfew, people who had other faiths than christianity, were persecuted, imprisoned, torture and had scientific experiments peorformed on them until one man who had been a victim stood up for what he believed and caused changed. What if this were to happen, what if a simple boycott could cause something like that to happen again in our society. I say again because of history, look at the Nazi regime in the 30's and 40's during the 2nd world war. Adolf Hitler felt inferior of Jews and decided to persecute them, convinced the Nazi party of this, they boycotted Jewish businesses, look what that led to. Should we just ship people who don't think, dress, act, etc. the way that "normal people" do off to the tundra to be put to death. I don't think so.

We need to change the way we live, the way we treat eachother. The most anti gay marriage, anti abortion, anti sexual freedom etc. group are undeniably the "christians" of society, well you know what, I'd rather be in a room full of (no insults meant here) fags, dikes, strippers and whores, than be in a room with one "christian". So if that means I just got another letter stamped on the curb in front of my parking spot in hell, well, so be it.

Well that's my rant... ;)
