I think we need to COMPROMISE... so here's mine:
Since I hear so much utter crap here lately about compromising our principles (pro-choice, gay rights, etc.) in order to meet the other freaking crazy half of this country halfway, here's my compromise... I will not have sex with my girlfriend in church. I absolutely promise this. Oh, and incidentally, I will never have an abortion either.

What will you do to compromise?

8. I dunno, I haven't seen your girlfriend...wait, I'm gay...
Edited on Sun Nov-07-04 01:14 PM by jdolsen
...What do you look like and is that "sex in a church" just a "with your girlfriend" thing or are you open to other options?

on edit: you're gay too. OK, any guys want to have sex in church? it's for a REAL good cause?

11. I promise NEVER to speak about the "Death Tax"...
And to ALWAYS mention Bush's "Birth Tax" that costs every new-born $100,000 because of his deficit!

And I also promise not to have sex with your girlfriend in church, but I'm holding her to my free ass-kiss!

14. I will never have sex with you OR your girlfriend in church
Promise.

I won't try to stop breeders or fundies or any kind of hetero from marrying whoever (consenting adult) they want to marry.

I won't make breeders or fundies or anyone have abortions. I will leave it up to them to choose.

I promise, I will not cram my idea of 'family values' up the asses of my brother and sister breeders. Or fundies. Ok except the 'Hate' thing. That truly sucks. But I'll approach it from an educational POV. I won't make them quit the hating cold turkey, or expect them to quit hating without education as to why they should stop.

I won't make fundies and benefit from stem cell research, since they find science to be objectionable.

26. I can't do it
I actually had sex with a girfriend in church... back in '89... she was Sunday School supe to her local Lutheran church, and she had the keys.

So late one Wednesday night we sang in the choir loft.

This is a true story. :-)

No compromise!

27. HAHAHA.... and the reason you can't promise to not do it again...
is because it has since '89 become a fetish for you, right? :bounce:

"Sang in the choir loft" ... priceless.

29. I'll never had an abortion in a church.
Actually, I've never had one and I hope I never would be in that position. I still wouldn't want someone else telling me what I could or couldn't do.

You're right though- compromising our principles is utter crap. :thumbsup:
