I think that you overestimate the rhetorical value of sarcasm.

I'm going to say the same thing to you as I said to Springs1, because it's just as applicable with you as it is with her. Really, you're not at all above her level.

I could feed my dog alphabet soup and he could crap out a more coherent and sincere paragraph on this subject, then anything you'll ever be able to come up with.

I don't know why u guys have to resort to attacking me. I'm starting to feel like maybe I need a flag at city hall for the way I'm being treated. Tell u what, since u are so passionate about this cause how about a nice rainbow tattoo wherever U want (as long as it's visible) like a lower leg or forearm? I will even pay for it. Let me know minie. I think that would really show everyone how much u care.

The fact that we are even having this discussion shows that the flag is doing some positive things. For those of us that support it (myself included), it highlights the issues the LGBT community still faces in our city. There is no such thing as bad publicity.

I'll definitely get a rainbow tattoo if you pay for it.

You said anywhere he wants, as long as it's visible. Don't move the goal posts. Will you pay for it? I bet he'd do it.

Or you could just stop trolling the thread. You're being a real ***. And the worst part is you already have a really bigoted, ignorant opinion in this thread, to begin with. brutal.

Maybe so but I haven't singled out and attacked any of u. U guys have just attacked me to no end for the last day all because I chose to voice an opinion. U should be ashamed at how u have acted. Sometimes people get so caught up in trying to force their believes on others they will hurt anyone to try to get their point across. For shame on all of u, u need to learn to accept people.

Did you fail kindergarten, or something?

U? Because it's so hard to add 2 whole extra letters to the actual word. As for your pathetic attempts at shaming ANYONE....pffft. Now run along, little trolly troll.

And as for your rainbow tattoo, get it on the inside of yer arse. And quit attacking the human rights of my child.

He's just trolling, using sarcasm. That's why he ended his post with "You need to learn to accept people", in a thread where he's displaying a bigoted view that is unaccepting.

Pretty pathetic, but the world isn't filled with 100% good people, so naturally you're going to run into guys like him on the other side.

Well, typically, I just ignore his sort, in real life. If I say anything I pretty much tell people like him, to get bent, only using much more colorful vernacular, if you know what I mean - it would all get #####'d out here. But every so often, this crap really gets my ire up.

The City of Calgary has raised a new rainbow flag outside of City Hall after the old one was cut down Friday.

"An individual committed an act of vandalism by cutting the cord on one of the flag poles in front of Historic City Hall. The flag pole was immediately repaired and the pride flag was returned to the top of the pole," said Daorcey Le Bray, communications adviser to Mayor Naheed Nenshi.

Calgary police were notified about the incident. Officials say a review of footage from security cameras in the nearby area may help identify the culprit.
I guess Laner99 had some free time after getting a lifetime suspension on here.

The USA never ceases to amaze me, they(Obama) slam Russia over their gay policies but have the nerve to allow this:

Quote:
Arizona's Legislature has passed a controversial bill that would allow business owners, as long as they assert their religious beliefs, to deny service to gay and lesbian customers
Unreal, is the United States a Country or 50 different entitys of ######ation?
