You all are dead to me. And I sincerely hope I don't have to see any of you this summer. You're worthless.

I feel sorry if you feel you've been forced into making bigoted comments on a Weird Al forum. No one is forced to say anything. It's your own decision to act that way. But it's wrong.

Wow this place is getting way too political and mean.

So....
Did anyone see Suzannes cauliflower

Movie

The funny thing is conversations like these are the reason politics is not allowed on the forum, despite the fact that politics have not been brought up even once other than to say it's "getting too political." As far as I know, overt bigotry is apolitical.

Well, by politics, the administrators probably meant sensitive discussions in general. I know the line between what's defined as such and what isn't is blurry, but I do think what occurred here never should have occurred here, and that we should have just kept our beliefs, political or not, to ourselves.

In brighter news, Al's recent tweet taught me a new word today!

hmmm

So the ONLY WAY one could ever see gays as people, is if they're blindly following a celebrity. Like civil rights are just some big "trend" or something. WHY do you agree with Victoria Jackson? That's what I want to know. You've been dodging the issue by painting it as "political" or "inappropriate for the forum." But YOU were the one who said you agreed with her indefensible opinion, nobody forced you to say so. And now, if there's any chance of me respecting you as a fellow Al fan/human being, if there's ANY chance of me to continue remaining even the slightest iota impressed by how many shows you've been to, I'm going to need to know WHY. And furthermore, your "why" is going to have to convince me that your position is valid. If you don't think you're up to the task, you may as well cut your losses and live with me considering you a bigot. Which shouldn't be too hard, since I'm dead to you and all.

Why would ANYONE "decide" such a thing, unless it was ingrained in their DNA? Why would ANYONE wish to inflict even more harassment into their lives? Did YOU have to make that decision, and were forced by the rules of "rightness" to be straight?

Anyone who disagrees with you is worthless? My, what a loving, non-hateriffic, thoughtful person. And how humble, to assume naturally that a statement of "You're worthless" from someone who thinks homosexuality is wrong, would mean something to me.

I apologize to the forum for reinstating this unpleasant tangent, and now, if I am truly dead enough to Alinite27 for him to not respond with further insight, I look forward to more discussion of Al's tweets.

Well, I tried.

Many have failed.

Guys, if you want to continue this debate, please take it to PM. This has nothing to do with Al and I have a feeling that nobody will be changing their mind on this anytime soon, no matter how much debate there is.

Am I the only one that can't get Suzanne's video to load? I mean it's only 2 seconds..
