Ooh!!!! If i don't repost this will I have seven years of bad luck? If I manage to get a dozen people to post it will the boy/girl of my dreams like me?

C'mon man, make your thoughts on the matter your own. More importantly, encourage people to go out there and VOTE!

I stubbornly refuse. I am a brain-dead cheerleader for gay rights.

And you are not a cooperation zombie! C'mon, the instructions were paste or ignore, not this "leave a comment suggesting real action rather than pat ourselves on the back for being so sensitive" crap.

At least you weren't called a sheep. I'd much rather be with the ranks of the undead than have a wooly coat that needs to be dry cleaned or it will shrink.

I don't know that it would be all that effective of a burn to call me a sheep since I called myself one two posts ago.

I'm sorry that you were called a sheep though. I still fail to see how posting this precludes one from doing other forms of activism and silverfox came across as pretty conceited in his posts. "Ooh, look at me, I volunteer for the Democrats. Therefore, I will look down my nose at anyone who makes a political statement without backing it up with an extensive resumé of volunteer work."

pffft. It's a recent development. Time was you could not pry that boy off of his computer and talk civilly to another human. He's been making a lot of changes, from what I understand. It was just weird to get jumped on by his grumpy side. Especially after not a word for almost a year.

Yeah but come on, Scott....you're so fucking SMART! Too smart to be cutting and pasting for something so important. I want to know YOUR thoughts and feelings on the topic, not some old fart's. It's too easy to just say, "I support gay rights." I want to know WHY, and what you intend to DO about it!!!!!

you're so fucking SMART!

Thanks :-)

cutting and pasting for something so important.

What's wrong with cutting and pasting if you agree with the sentiment? I think sagespot eloquently examined this topic and the flamewars that erupted as the result of this meme.

I want to know YOUR thoughts and feelings on the topic, not some old fart's.I will remind you that I am an old fart ( ... )
