132. actually there were two sides of that coin
sf you know that. There were people here just willing to generalize on both sides, and that's the hurtful part. As usual, everyone else is caught in the generalization (sorry I just generalized :P )

I posted that skin color and abstracts were different in principle but not in practice, but even recently I think even skin color is an abstract.

What difference does it make if someone votes against "allowing" another american to get married because of the idea of skin color or what we choose to do or not do with our pink parts?

The irony was merely that some people of color would not see that a vote for Prop8 was a vote against themselves and any other idea of minority. Merely by noting that, it became a condemnation of the entire minority community, rather than an observation. That weakness was in the eyes of the beholder, for the most part. Hopefully the best we can do is forgive each other our insecurities and move on.

We can't be responsible for how every person might take a comment, and people love to flame here, and worse, play victimized. Just like admitting or accusing someone of being gay is not provable here, any other form of admission or accusation of bigotry or skin color or penis size is not verifiable, reliable or even relevant, but my goodness we all seem to think it matters anyway.

Especially the XXL-ness of weeners.:evilgrin:
