But what are your thoughts on homosex?
Sci-fi writer John C. Wright does not approve of the Sci-Fi channel's apparent pandering to the "homosex" crowd.

The head of Sci-Fi channel has contritely promised to include more homosex in future shows, and to do it nonchalantly, just as if this abomination is normal and natural and worthy of no comment. The shows will not actually come out and say sexual perversion has no bad side effects. They won't actually lie and tell you homosex won't destroy your life. But they will imply the lie. They will play along.

Homosex. It's almost kind of catchy!

I'd like someone, anyone, to explain to me how my culture reached a position where a public entertainment company can be criticized for failing to contribute to the moral decay of the land, and that the criticism would be taken seriously, and the company would cringe and promise to do better.

Someone explain to me by what series of events persons with serious sexual-psychological malfunctions would somehow be awarded the status of moral arbiters, something like priests and confessors and sages -- except that the passkey to being a guardian of public conscience in our age is the absence of moral value, not the presence.


Explain they do. As soon as the post is referenced in a MetaQuote, the dissenters are off to reply to Mr. Wright. The initial reaction is small, but promising. Most responses are rational and non-inflammatory. Others are quite succinct and curt. A number of users coming in presumably through MetaQuotes announce Mr. Wright's loss of a potential customer, as long as Mr. Wright does indeed use their filthy, filthy Leftist dollars.

Come, my liberal leftist comrades! You openly boast of your superior intellectual power and more profound moral sobriety than we mere working Joes of flyover country (including working Joes like me with a doctorate in law who works in DC). You have anointed yourselves our superiors: that means you are smart enough to explain it. By what logic is the sole and single standard of virtue in your world view an absolute devotion to vice? By what logic is the sole and single sin the sin of having standards of virtue, what you call being intolerant?

'dem sure be fancy words.

People like this guy just make me laugh. Go on, honey, keep talking about how wrong it is, all while you're thinking about it so much. . .doesn't look even vaguely suspicious, no.

That's exactly what I thought. Oh, so it will destroy your life, huh? Do you think that whenever you pass Abercrombie & Fitch, or just whenever you see those really attractive young men walking on the street?

Don't forget all that hot gay porn that his computer must have downloaded all on its own!

I was in the car with a friend when that story came over the radio. We both used to live in Florida, which made it just that extra touch funnier to us.

A friend of mine claims that one of his dogs did, in fact, order several adult pay-per-view films by stepping and/or sitting on the TV remote in just the wrong (right?) way.

Since he's pretty unabashed about his enjoyment of porn most of the time (my friend, I mean, I don't know about the dog) I'm inclined to believe him.

I never believed that cats could bid on Ebay items, either, until one afternoon when my cat jumped up on my laptop and hit 'tab' and 'enter' in just the right combination! Fortunately, it was my auction listing and it was in preview, so kitty didn't have to work for his kibble after that.

You know, I think you might just possibly be onto something there...

It's my gut response to that kind of reaction.

"A magnetism that will not let go"?

I hope this doesn't doublepost. That would make me sad. :(

Just the thing exactly! It's funny how their potential motivation is revealed through their language choices.
