Ok, this fun conversation has just turned ugly. What right do you have to decide what I think or what my opinion is? Who the hell are you to tell me that some Hollywood socialist liberal asshole is qualified to tell me anything.

The point in not what you had to do in high school nor is it whether peoples negative attitudes about gays is wrong (and I hope you know the difference between ?trav? and Bob) it?s about media source (movies, news papers, TV etc.) using their power to try to control and influence me.

If it was 20 years I would be arguing this from the other side.

For a so-called Libertarian you have some funny ideas.

"The extreme violence does not teach a lesson; it's an end in itself, more suited to the S&M crowd than to anyone seeking an uplifting sermon on everlasting redemption."
