You've got a hardon for Justice Thomas, fine, that's your privilege. But don't
accuse ME of racism because I happen to disagree that Thomas is racist. You
won't find anybody here who will buy that. And as I said, you have shown us
nothing to indicate that Thomas IS a racist, nor have I heard anything he's
said in the past, including his Senate testimony, that would lead me to believe
that he is. The burden of proof is on you, since you made the original claim.
In other words, YOU have to convince US of your premise, not the other way

The disgusting part is that so many courageous blacks worked so
hard to achieve the recognition of their equality, and then along
comes a group who's degenerate perversions know no barriers and
from whom almost no child is safe.
They disguise themselves in the cloaks of `teachers', `scout
leaders', `priests', `sunday school instructors', `coaches', etc.
They pervade our society with the goal of perverting the young
with their filth, slithering into all walks of life without
exception, and the *liberals* aid and abet them under the guise of
*tolerance*.
And anyone who says one single word in opposition, regardless of
how strong or benign the opposition, is immediately labeled a
racist or a bigot. (How quickly they glom onto terms they think
they can pull around themselves as a defense against anyone who
protests their disgusting agenda.)
They misuse the term *HOMOphobe*. Isn't the `phobe' part
supposed to denote a *fear* of something? Anyone who had any *fear*
of HOMO's wouldn't speak out at all, would they?

FS>TR's explanation above is one of the best, concise

MG> You know, I don't compare blacks to homosexuals. Neither, IMO, is the

MG> The issue is people that hate. Like you. It doesn't really matter
MG> what you hate.

FS>Michael, he isn't demonstrating hatred. He's demonstrating
FS>righteous indignation, and there's a world of difference.

MG> Please. show me what you feel that difference is.

Hatred can be blind, i.e., if someone hates another person
simply because of that person's skin-color, that's blind
hatred. OTOH, if someone is thoroughly disgusted with the
actions of a criminal in stealing from someone, that's
righteous indignation. What this means is that hatred
doesn't require a good reason while righteous indignation
*does*.

MG> As far as the term homophobe being used improperly, perhaps that is
MG> the case. Maybe you could explain why you hate them so much, other than
MG> the most often obvious reason of "fear".

FS>Again, he shows no *hate* whatsoever -- nor any fear of
FS>that perverted group. Tell me this: Why on earth would
FS>*anyone* fear individuals of such a prissy type -- so long as
FS>one is not taking a shower in their presence as one might
FS>do in the Armed Forces, with their "group" showers?

MG> Do you believe homosexuals are all "prissy"?

I doubt it very much, though since I don't know any
personally I cannot really say. Articles about them *not*
written by perverts, suggest they are largely prissy.
Also, the celibate homosexuals aren't even evil. You may
disagree with that, of course.

MG> I suggest anyone who would openly state that homosexuals being killed
MG> by a god is a good and just thing is someone who hates homosexuals.
MG> Tim did this, albeit in another echo. It seems to me that most people
MG> hate other people because of a fear.

I don't think so. It happens, hatred based on fear,
certainly, but I think more hatred is based on revulsion
with a lot based on ignorance. For example, consider the
hatred some whites have of blacks. That's often just based
on *ignorance*, for the whites in question think skin-color
determines character. If they knew better there'd be no
such hatred.

MG> Why else?

Oooooops ... see above ...

Yes, Clinton was falsely accused, and he can't sue because, as a
public figure, the constitutional protection is much stronger for his
accusers.

I suppose you are going to criticize Satchmo for being inaccurate.

On 07-25-00, FRANK SCHEIDT said to MICHAEL GOTHREAU:

FS>Michael, he isn't demonstrating hatred. He's demonstrating
FS>righteous indignation, and there's a world of difference.

MG> Please. show me what you feel that difference is.

FS>Hatred can be blind, i.e., if someone hates another person
FS>simply because of that person's skin-color, that's blind
FS>hatred. OTOH, if someone is thoroughly disgusted with the
FS>actions of a criminal in stealing from someone, that's
FS>righteous indignation. What this means is that hatred
FS>doesn't require a good reason while righteous indignation
FS>*does*.

Then how was Tim demonstrating righteous indignation?

A criminal stealing from someone (your example) is causing loss to someone
and/or society. Homosexuals are not causing any loss to anyone.

Are you suggesting not likeing the way other people fuck is a valid reason for
righteous indignation?

MG> As far as the term homophobe being used improperly, perhaps that is
MG> the case. Maybe you could explain why you hate them so much, other than
MG> the most often obvious reason of "fear".

FS>Again, he shows no *hate* whatsoever -- nor any fear of
FS>that perverted group. Tell me this: Why on earth would
FS>*anyone* fear individuals of such a prissy type -- so long as
FS>one is not taking a shower in their presence as one might
FS>do in the Armed Forces, with their "group" showers?

MG> Do you believe homosexuals are all "prissy"?

FS>I doubt it very much, though since I don't know any
FS>personally I cannot really say. Articles about them *not*
FS>written by perverts, suggest they are largely prissy.
FS>Also, the celibate homosexuals aren't even evil. You may
FS>disagree with that, of course.

It is an interesting statement. If you are comparing thieves to homosexuals
it might seem that way.

Apples and oranges, more likely...

MG> I suggest anyone who would openly state that homosexuals being killed
MG> by a god is a good and just thing is someone who hates homosexuals.
MG> Tim did this, albeit in another echo. It seems to me that most people
MG> hate other people because of a fear.

FS>I don't think so. It happens, hatred based on fear,
FS>certainly, but I think more hatred is based on revulsion
FS>with a lot based on ignorance. For example, consider the
FS>hatred some whites have of blacks. That's often just based
FS>on *ignorance*, for the whites in question think skin-color
FS>determines character. If they knew better there'd be no
FS>such hatred.

MG> Why else?

FS>Oooooops ... see above ...

I don't think you've succeeded in convincing me that Tim was demonstrating
righteous indignation.
