For the record Sentry and Willbkool, "we" were not talking about it "again"
Since A NEW MEMBER posted on it and I replied for the first time.
Why you feel it necessary to inject yourself into it "again" escapes me.
If you find the topic unpleasant, why open the thread? Just sayin.
I injected an opinion? I thought I asked a question...
There's this great book called "Nasty People." It's about people who put down others with passive agressive stuff like "Are we talking about this again?" and then when they're called on it, they retreat into, "but I was just asking a question..." Kind of like the husband who looks at his wife and says, "Are you wearing *that* tonight?" and then when she gets defensive because she feels bad about how she looks, the husband chimes in with, "Gee--I just asked a question..." You should read it. Good book.
New guy said he was gay... So what!
That's what many people are thinking about it--so what? No big deal. But apparently it is a big deal to a lot of people here.
What good has come from the conversation? There are a lot of people who feel the way they do on this topic.
It simply amazes me that people can be so oblivious to the world outside of themselves that they actually *believe* that, if they decide something is useless to themselves, that it must be useless to everyone.
If you read the thread in its entirety, you would see it offers no good...
Heh. The arrogance knows no bounds. Stay with the oblivion--it's better than embarassment.
to this being predominantly a prepper forum...
Ah. So in Sentry's world, preppers = straight. I wonder how many homosexuals you served with in the military (and now work with) and you didn't/don't even know it...
You'll also see where, yes I did offer my thoughts under my second screen name here. If I did, interject an OPINIon.
Come on, Sentry--he's talking about the part where you clicked on the thread and then complained about the topic of the thread ("Why are we talking about this again?"). If *you* had read what was going on, you would have realized that, until you chimed in, about the only thing going on was a new guy saying hi (and "I'm gay") and "welcome," and some jokes.
It's probably cause I care about prepping and this forum, and see this is only distracting from that in a time where more valuable discussions are needed.... That would be opinion...
Heh. A "Nasty People" classic: "I'm only acting like an ass
because I care."
The irony: for the most part, the people here are all about personal freedom and freedom of speech/expression. And then there's Sentry, who wants to be in charge of determining which discussions are valuable and which are not. But it's only because you care--how sweet
Thank you for helping me determine what's best for me. Perhaps you should join the Obama administration; I hear they want more people like you.
But you and your buddy there can go about doing what you are doing. This isn't my site...
Uh oh, myakka--you're now guilty by association
BTW, Sentry--thank you for the permission.
I would say this discussion has been very valuable. Many people are now aware of the extreme behavior (that would be MURDER) that some members here are seeming to advocate, and some might choose to stay far far away from these members. I would say this thread and discussion has been particularly valuable to acciw (and others homosexuals who may be lurking). He is now certainly aware of a couple of people he should avoid at all costs. I'm sure it's been made very clear to him (and others) that preppers/survivalists can be bad and dangerous people who will take advantage of the fact that there may one day be fewer laws and take that opportunity to do away with (MURDER) folks with whom they disagree on certain subjects.
