POLL IT:- Straight-acting

[Rolyo85]

Not keen to get into details, then? Worried you might have benefited a bit TOO much from the term to justify the piss and vinegar you're spraying on it now?

Keep digging - rock bottom isn't far. Nearly there!

Lol considering how many people laugh at you guys, that assumption might be a bit off mark.

Logical Phallacy. Or should we take the Politicians word for it??

And does his experience trump anybody else's? No.

I thought you were going to bed?


(I want credit for not running with the "PHALLacy." BTW)

A gay life is communicating with other gays, having homosexual romantic life and being interested in other men sexually and romantically. All of which does actually come up occasionally in a generic everyday conversation WITHOUT people asking you.

Unless you specifically wait for them to ask and otherwise omit these parts of your life.

You're now defining a specific gay lifestyle, you're not defining homosexuality.

What are you? One of the Sex in the City chicks?

"...and then he blew his load all over my divan!!!!...."

It trumps some people's for sure.

Peaches AND sugarplum in the same evening??? Make it a hat-trick, i wanna fruit pie!

You've already conceded that I'm the fruitpie.

Get off my turf.

 

[TX-Beau]

Perhaps you need some more fruitpie.

It has been known to be quite addictive.

 

[LuckysRevenge]

I'm still waiting for tx to tell me what a "gay" life is.

Maybe then I can understand why it's so tragic I don't have one.

I thought in the UK you guys switched all the names... fruitpies are meatpies and sweetpies are sourpies or...

 

[Rolyo85]

You talk about your sex and romantic life in every day conversation?

Even if you do, to suggest that it's the norm is ridiculous. My straight friends don't talk to me about their sex or romantic life unless they have a partner or unless we're very close.

First of all yes I do. I also talk about gay politics. Second, everyday conversations aren't something that happens every day, just something that can occur naturally any day.

 

[blackbeltninja]

It's more fun to watch you froth. (thanks for the word Mitchy!)

I'm not having a frothy, son, I'm taking the piss.

[Rolyo85]

You're now defining a specific gay lifestyle, you're not defining homosexuality.

Are you serious? The only way you have none of that in your life is if you're closeted.

 

[LuckysRevenge]

First of all yes I do. I also talk about gay politics. Second, everyday conversations aren't something that happens every day, just something that can occur naturally any day.

So being gay may never come up in conversation. It CAN occur but it often doesn't.
Can we agree on that?

So there really is no problem with people not knowing I'm gay, is there?

 

[xbuzzerx]

Are you serious? The only way you have none of that in your life is if you're closeted.

That's not true at all. You're writing rules that don't exist. I must have a quota of gay friends now? What if I've met two near me and I don't like them? I know straight people who are faghags or have mostly gay friends, are they not straight now?

Hmmm.

Significantly less than half, says the poll in the OP. So I guess we're still winning. Hooray for statistics.

Bit of an open goal there, Rolyo.

[xbuzzerx]

Hahaha, i'd be asking for my money back if that were true lol. Some pies have obscure names that are misleading, but i can't think of any off my head....oh, shepherds pie is not traditional cannibal dish....

I'm probably thinking of sweetmeats and.. uh.... something else. Your names are confusing.

No there isn't but also no - it does occur fairly regularly because everyday conversation often circulate around personal life.

Your stat reading skills are weird.

 

[xbuzzerx]

No there isn't but also no - it does occur fairly regularly because everyday conversation often circulate around personal life.

People have different comfort levels about details of their personal life. I mentioned earlier that you and I have been friends for a very long while and you've neither really asked, nor have I pushed at you, details about my relationships or love life. And you're gay. So it has nothing to do with hiding. I'm the youngest person at my office by 15 years. We just really don't discuss things like people's marriages or dating between each other. Big age gaps.

Your attempt to make him into some sort of hypocrite for having used SA, is logically inconsistent. If anything, his experience makes him an authority on the subject.

Right, so if Ahmadinejad flip-flops and stops trying to wipe Israel from the map, he automatically becomes the logical choice as UN Ambassador for Peace?

No, I think we tell him "good job on the change of heart. Now shut the fuck up because you have no discernible credibility left whatsoever."
