have an argument (discussion) day
Apr. 12th, 2001 03:20 pmi'm responding at the bottom of the string HERE in the bisexual community
GAH i could rant for hours about the scary sites in the link section of straightpride.com but like i said about godhatesfags.com in an early rant on my site(part of the site that's down) and on my radio show, as much as i disagree or am offended at someone's message they have a right to it
but that's not the point in this string, yeah the site itself (straightpride.com) does not have the best of motives, probably started by someone who was offended at gay pride stuff, but i think that people have every right to buy/sell/wear a straight pride t-shirt and i'll try not to think bad things of them if i see it
why can't there be straight pride without hating gay pride?
why can't there be white pride without hating other races?
i'm pretty DAMN happy i'm white, i'll likely get some sort of white pride tattoo at some point, but probably not easily shown because i'm still a wuss, and goddamn people will take it the wrong goddamn way, maybe i'll get a black pride tattoo and confuse 'em all
blah
it just hurts my brain, why can't people defend their beliefs or causes without attacking the opposite?
if you really belive it then shouldn't that stand on it's own?

I believe that Kal would agree

Date: 2001-04-12 04:55 pm (UTC)i enjoyed the arguement/discussion for it's own sake, kal also did but then decided to piss 'em off (heh)
i think i lost a bet tho, i thought the girl that we were both replying to would attacking his spelling in her first response to him, instead she went with the attack spelling when offended or out of arguements, instead of attack spelling to avoid the point of the discussion all together from the begining

my socity isn't male dominated or straight dominated, i do no feel repressed because i'm a girl, and i've only had 2 people in my entire life freak out at me 'cause i like girls (one cause he believed i stole his girlfriend, the other cause he was afraid i'd steal his girlfriend when i'd never met her, destroyed the friendship)
granted that's because i limit the type of people i associate with or ignore stupidity, doesn't mean i don't notice it or know it exists elsewhere, i just don't let it in my world
