Do you mean Office XP or Windows XP? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Liberals will fool themselves into thinking that there is no left bias because the liberal position on issues is correct. I heard a story on NPR a week ago that was an interview of a soldier that had recently returned from Iraq. The correspondent started the story by saying that the soldier "still could not see the light at the end of the tunnel". A little later the interview actually started. I expected to hear an obviously liberal leaning soldier stating his objections to the war/policy. I was surprised to hear his story of support for the war, and inspiring stories of how things are improving so much. There wasn't anything at all about "no light at the end of the tunnel". But some will claim that news sources like NPR are not biased. I also will admit that Fox News is biased. Did anyone catch the parody of The O'Reilly Factor? I can't remember if it was on MAD TV or SNL. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Why is your criteria 'an entire group'? Unless the homosexual primates choose to separate themselves from the straight ones, there is no reason why they can't exist and stay with the rest.

It is claimed that it has been observed in primates. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Did anybody else catch the parody of the movie on Saturday Night Live the last couple of weekends? The writers of the show must love having that kind of material to use for their skits. I did indeed laugh my ass off. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Of course they can make movies. I don't think that has been a point of contention. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I think that is a worthless analogy. Of course wanting to live their lives undisturbed is not "out in the street waving their arms". OK, here is an example of "being so far out of the closet that they are out in the street waving their arms": http://stopgaydays.com/index.html Some of the photos are obviously in a private setting, such as someone's hotel, but a lot are obviously not. Do you think an organization of hetro swingers could have a day such as this at Disney behaving similarly? I think not. Of course gays still face discrimination and hatred. However, they are so powerful and protected as a class that Disney can't muster the courage to deny them this opportunity to 'show their pride'. If gays don't realize that this shit hurts their cause, they should think again. Some might discredit the information because it is from a religious group. Please discredit the info and not the source if possible. Maybe the entire site is a fabrication, but after seeing the gay pride float during the Christmas parade the last couple years on TV, I don't believe it. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

[reply Your mind has argued that irrational revulsion, oppression, discrimination, and hatred of minorities is inevitable. My mind has argued that it's not. And now anyone who reads our words can compare our minds and choose their favorite. Again, how/why is it that gays intrinsicly are better? Remember this must be thought of in the hypothetical that gays have not been subject to the discrimination that they have experienced. I understand that you would like to believe that gays would be above that, but what do you have to base it on? How gays currently treat anybody doesn't apply, because they have a set of experiences that would not be present in my hypothetical. If you think the hypothetical is not important, so be it, but that is the scenario that so many want to avoid. Somehow gays are above that, I think not. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Do you know how much does it exceed the requirement of the test? This could be a valuable marketing point, in my opinion. I think the test is not very severe. I would like to have a reserve pin that would not bend if I lean back very hard against a hard edge in the plane, for instance. I also think it should be impossible to bend a pin with a tight closing loop. So my ideal pin would be much stronger than the current requirement. Right now they barely pass.

I think this is a thinly veiled personal attack. How your mind works is also on display. You think gays are above the flaws that have afflicted the rest of the human race throughout history. This is the 'tables turned' hypothetical, with the swapped groups NOT having their current set of experiences. There's a pervasive assumption of conflict in their minds. They simply can't imagine a world where the majority doesn't torment everyone else. You simply can't admit that all humans are flawed, and that only recently have we been able to overcome that. Hatred and bigotry are only recently being overcome. But somehow gays would not have been subject to that awful tendency that has been a fact throughout history. They somehow have an intrinsic quality that would prevent them from being an oppressor. Bullshit. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

So now you say that 'phobia' doesn't mean 'fear of'? So if I have the phobia related to heights, it means I have a 'strong bias against' heights? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

You completely missed the point. In a gay world, straights would be just as likely to be discriminated against if the gays had not experienced it themselves (If they had always been the majority). That is the 'tables turned' hypothetical. It is not that hard a thing to understand. Didnt' anyone see that movie with Travolta where whites were the minority? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I think not. Unfortunately, history has shown that the majority tends to be bigoted towards many minorities. It is a very regrettable flaw in human nature that this happens. Only in recent history have humans been able to start overcoming this flaw. However, you assert that gays would not be subject to this flaw. I think not. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Who said anything about an act of hate. For instance, if I turn away when I see a gay couple kiss while watching a TV show, and I am watching it with a guy that I don't know to be gay, I think it likely that the gay man will consider that to be bigotry/hatred all by itself. It doesn't mean I treated that person poorly, except that they are witness to my reaction. Unfortunately, many gays want to be more than just out of the closet, they want to be out in the street waving their arms, and then are surprised when they are not welcomed by the public with open arms. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Thanks for the info. It is one of my pet peeves that reserve pins are so easy to bend. How does it stand up to the Capewell test? I expect that it is not allowed, but I wonder if a rigger would be willing to install one of your ripcords on a non RWS rig. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

In my experience, MANY straight people, male and female, find it repulsive to even watch men kissing. Even women that enjoy watch all sorts of porn, including lesbian porn, are absolutely grossed out just by men kissing, such as shown on HBO's Six Feet Under I think this is very significant because gays do not appreciate that as much as most straight people reject prejudice against them, gays will continue to face seeming bigotry/hatred in part, I believe, because a normal display of affection is simply repulsive. Sorry, it is a double standard and not justifiable, but it is a fact. It doesn't mean that they are homophobes (afraid) or bigots (hate), it is just a reaction that may change over a long time.

deleted because it was not appropriate for Bonfire. I started a new thread in SC for my opinion. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I didn't know the RWS RSL used velcro. I agree that the RWS pin looks like crap. It looks like something made from an old clothes hanger. However, if it is larger/stronger/stiffer than the wimpy std reserve pins used now, can it be adapted to another rig with no RSL? (I kinda know the answer is no) People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

I think the cylinders leaned forward look much sportier. The new Nortons look very aggressive, but modern (rear tire/fender/seat/front forks) and retro (engine/tank) at the same time. Plus, you get to say "Norton" like Jackie Gleason did on The Honeymooners.

Congratulations to everyone for getting drunk so often. Quite an accomplishment to be proud of. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

My new rig arrived on a Friday, but I had it delivered to the dealer/DZ so they could assemble it in time for early Sat jumping. There is a price you have paid for getting it delivered at home. Don't criticize the delivery guys, they are working their asses off this time of year.

Are we talking about the backpad? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

I've seen it work out really well, and the woman got super great instruction 'cause the guy cared about her so much, and now they're married with a bunch of kids and still jump. He posts here but would rather not have his head bitten off by those that think an instructor should be fired for dating a student. I think that many might not think it so bad if it was a female instructor - double standards and such. I think it comes down to how it is done.
