Got Something You Want To Say?

Unless you are a woman and want to 'sleep' with her....then who cares? Does a person's sexual orientation really matter to us here? :shakehead:

Eck, I was really late responding to this, but I think it was just a question out of curiosity nothing more... I wouldn't take offense to this, E-chan. :sweat:

I think it's more the necessity of the question, which of course varies from person to person. People who are familiar with, or sensitive to, sexual descrimination may take offense or even find the question inappropriate, whereas others who are not at all being discriminatory, but also are not so exposed to sexual discrimination to a certain extent, may think nothing of asking it.

I personally think the question was rude, but as someone who's straight, I dunno if someone who is gay would take offense.

Thing is, if you wondered for whatever reason, how would you inquire without coming off as being "rude" as you say?

Or is it something you just don't ask?

I mean, people here are divulging there pics and other semi-personal info... Is orientation any different?

Is Brittany a red neck skank?

Is Lindsey a drunk and drug addict?

Is Brad gonna leave Angolina?

People, fans, want to know about clebs personal lives. There's a huge industry devoted to nothing but the personal lives, loves, likes, weaknesses, foibles of celebs.

You wanna fight that?

And by the way. If you get out of bed in the morning and go about your life... somebody's gonna be offended.

And even if you don't get out of bed, somebody's gonna be offended.

It's about intent.

Like I said previously, obentou's question was out of curiosity, not malice...

Point taken. And as Geezer pointed out, and as I tried to in my previous post, it's about the individual's (the one asking the question) reason for asking the question.

@Geezer: Fight what? Sharing an opinion is not always to instigate an arguement. :)

Agreed. I think we should have an extended discussion to debate whether Hard Gay acts gay.

I just thwacked a stinkin' fly that was buzzing around in my office... In mid-air, mind you. :victory:

Sugoi ne. Talk about skill. Now mebbe you can open a fly-swatting school so that I can enroll and learn how to kill the three or four buzzing around my house.

just a little humor to ease the tension....hard gay is actually not gay, by the way.

Trap 'em in one room and start swingin'...

Or open a window... They'll typically migrate toward the windows screen, then you can blast 'em with a spray... :D

Well-tested strategies... :beaten:

I throw cats at 'em.

Bit more surface area than your normal fly swatter.

Yea, I remember somebody posting that. I actually never thought he was. :)

LOL! I've tried the random flailing but to no avail... and I don't actually have decent windows in my current living situation. Chasing them with random blasts of spray sounds fun tho. :mrgreen:

Hey b-kun. How are you? :) I didn't take offense at obentou's question because I thought there was any malice in it. I knew there wasn't. I am just tired of hearing the question, not just here, but everywhere. Does it really matter whether or not an actrees is a lesbian or not? Yes Geezer I see your point, some of us are always going to be curious about the personal lives of celebrities. That is true. Thanks Wynter for at least gleaning what I was aiming for in my response.

I personally don't want to know if an actor is gay or an actress is a lesbian. Cus once I know it sort of spoils the roles they play for me. That is just me. BTW earlier today before I read the various comments about my response I had already sent obentou a PM to apologize if I came off as too harsh to her.

C'mon when are you guys gonna realize that I have strong opinions but I never have intent of harm? :victory:

P.S. Thanks Tu-man for the humor.

LOL! I'm also so a slow learner... so the mixture is proving deadly. :P

Ugh, gonna go work out. :bleh:

Roaches, flies, centipedes, spiders, ants...this thread has turned into an INSECT FEST! :hehe:

@ Cori - that centipede looked revolting. It looked like a monster compared to our UK ones. I only glanced at that roach link, btw, as it was horrible. :D

And now insect-free programming shall recommence... :hehe:

If I was REALLY mean, i'd find some pics of some really horrible insects, just to creep you guys out.


But I won't :hehe:
