TOO weird, dammit! Not “to” weird…what’s with all the LOLs with spelling errors lately?
Well, when some school TEACHERS allow text speech in what the kids turn in, you gotta assume standards have been lowered a bit too far. It’s the “no child left behind” attitude. We honor being average; people who know how to properly use grammar and spelling are just “elitist.” Wait, what??!?!!? What is there left to strive for if the status quo is the aim?
Ok done ranting. It’s still a funny pic, and the cation would be ok if it was spelled right. There were a few other funny ones submitted that I saw on the vote page too.
*caption –lest I be called on my own error. ; )
Aww. “cation” made me remember taking physics class!
“cation”? wouldn’t that be chemistry?
it has to do with feline static electricity
That’s why cats sleep in a sunny spot: their fur absorbs solar energy and stores it, thus enabling them to run up and down the house at 3 am.
epic kitteh WIN!
WTF? You don’t know what NCLB was actually about. Take it from an education major who comes from a long line of teachers–it’s all about how you score on standardized tests. If a word is likely to be on the test, they drill it into your head.
There are courses devoted to helping kids score higher on the tests.
The whole focus of school isn’t even on learning anymore. It’s all about test scores that won’t help the kids later on when all they know how to do is bubble in answers.
I kinda agree with both minerva and The L. I was a teacher for four years in an elective class – and I keep getting laid off. Yes, the emphasis is on testing. But yes, the emphasis is also on being average, or helping the needest ones first and ignoring the middle class and the ones who need the enrichment. Trust me, I’ve sat in LOTS of those teacher workday meetings that focus on nothing BUT raising test scores and how to do it. Language arts teachers aren’t focusing on the “conventions” of the English language anymore, they’re focusing on getting ideas across. Which, this caption did. But it does piss someone like me off, a self-proclaimed Grammar Nazi.
My wang dances for you. Dance wang dance!!!
PUT THAT AWAY.
Hey, calm down there Minerva. I sometimes allow textspeak, it all depends on what the focus of the assignment is. If it’s a serious paper, then no. However, there is something to be said in our testing obsessed schools for encouraging students to write with a distinctive voice. All great writers have Voice, and I’d hate to think that we discouraged the next great writer by insisting on proper procedure all the time. Also, it will sometimes make the assignment more appealing to kids if they get to write it in the language they use. Honestly, if you think teachers aren’t just as annoyed by it, think again. Too often, they’re afraid of failing little Johnny because their grammar skills are so bad. If they do, the school looks bad and the parents threaten to sue.
I’m sorry, if little Johhny’s grammar skills are that bad, then he does not have the proper qualifications to graduate and should be failed anyway.
Ever get the urge to hold a parent/teacher conference, then just bitchslap the parents? I know I do, and I’m currently only a sub.
I may allow for some laxity in linguistics, but I will have to draw the line with LOLspeak and TXT lingo. There’s Proper Procedure, and there’s Not Pissing on the Conventions of the Language. People can express a Voice without having to add (j/k) or LOL! to something they’re writing.
Or, as Orwell stated in 1984: “If you keep all the small rules, you can break all the big ones.”
Thanks herb. I know it’s the parent’s responsibility to keep the kids in line, but when you don’t even know what standards you are supposed to keep the kids adhering to… Makes it harder. That said, I said a week ago or so, that I’m disappointed in my generation (gen x) as parents, but that’s a whole other discussion.
I don’t think insisting on proper grammar and spelling inhibits anyone’s Voice. Many great writers for generations have learned the proper rules of language in their educations and had no trouble with being creative. This lack of discipline from the parents that Jane complains about is no different than the lack of discipline in the schools. They feed off each other. I’m not slamming Jane, it’s the whole system that’s broken. Rewarding mediocrity and not acknowledging those that actually excel are part of the problem.
Oh all the time Herb, all the time. *sigh* I love when people go on and on about how we need to hold our teacher accountable, like we’re sitting in our classroom rubbing our hands together in maniacal glee saying, “how can I screw up future generations today? Muwahahahahahaha!” I’m not saying there aren’t bad teacher out there, like any profession, but too often the things we blame on teachers are none of their fault, and we should look at administrators and policy makers that force teacher to do things they know isn’t right.
-
As for textspeak, like I said, it depends on the assignment. I wouldn’t allow it all the time, only for certain things where it may enhance the piece of writing. But then, I’m sort of a original thought over mechanics kind of person.
Everyone should have the ability to write in proper, grammatically correct, English, and they should know when it is appropriate and when it isn’t. Vernacular can enrich a language but shouldn’t replace it entirely.
I agree with Jane, when it comes to creative writing slang can really bring writing to life.
Our teacher keeps trying to get her classes to write in Scots. For a lot of otherwise disinterested kids, the idea that they could write with the voices of people they knew put an entirely new slant on English lessons.
Also, I don’t think teachers accepting txtspeak is really to blame for bad grammar. You can punctuate your texts. People will learn to use the English language if they constantly see it in use. i.e. If they READ more.
OMG!
Where you fi?
Dundee.
Really? No way! So’s ma maw. Am, hopefully, heading to uni there next year.

“People will learn to use the English language if they constantly see it in use. i.e. If they READ more.”

You heard it here folks, from the mouth of God! This is exactly true. I teach kids with reading problems, one of them wrote in their response the other day that they didn’t know why they HAD to read. In a READING CLASS!!! We can try and hammer grammar into our kids’ heads and make them diagram sentences, but really, reading, reading, and more reading is the BEST way for them to learn conventions.
i understand the importance of language, and usage of correct grammar, that being said, i think its more important to teach people to think, you know, use good ole logic and reason to create conclusions, or some creative thinking to come up with innovative solutions. mind you its good to be able to articulately communicate said thinking in a concise manner, but what good is it to correctly communicate thoughtless drivel? thoughts and ideas are more important than the correctness of their expression… and to all you teachers, you have my appreciation.
I agree with you, but you have to have a good foundation for doing that. YOu can have the smartest, most intelligent and creative kid in the world, but if he can’t string three words together into a coherent sentence, what good will he be? It’s like teaching New Math. You have to teach someone right so they can go on to formulate their own ideas, you can’t just let them flounder around just because ‘it makes them feel good.’
Hence the importance of reading a wide range of authors and thinkers. It accomplishes both goals – exposure to well-crafted language, which does work its way into the reader’s usage, and exposure to a range of ideas and viewpoints to send thoughts off in interesting directions.
it was not my intention to imply that the ability to read, or be well readins in any way unimportant. i was saying this in reference to the horrors which have become public school. i think the only way to really improve the quality of public educatio, is make it the only option for people. i believe as long as there is such a huge separation between peoples economic status, we are robbing humanity of its true potential. i often wonder hot many brilliant minds are lost to poverty every year globally. humans are a part of nature, thoughts being a part of that, they should be seen as a resource, probably our greatest resource, yet it seem we let the vast majority of this potential resource go unrefined.why would we let such a large portion of our greatest resource be squandered… why indeed.
You make a point worth considering here. As long as the sort of politician who can’t keep track of how many houses he owns has the option of sending his kids to private schools, it’s that much harder to hold his feet to the fire about properly funding and developing public education.
If I might interject, let’s not forget that the very same sort of politician squandered his own education by not fulfilling his own academic potential. In the meantime, his legacy acceptance into the Academy denied another, likely more deserving person, a chance to excel in his stead.
In fairness, that sort of politician’s class rank was as low as it was because he was a discipline case, not because he couldn’t pass his classes.
That’s my point: Squandering
If the boy wasn’t going to take Annapolis seriously, why did anyone think he would take his flight training seriously? The world is too full of examples of rich kids who don’t measure up to the greatness of their forebears. Lemmesee… to whom could I be referring…? *soundtrack: “Hail to the Chief”*
Dum dum dee dum, dum dee dum dee dum dee dum, QUACK!
*coffee spew*
Love you too, babe. :^)
You slay me, but in a not-so-ookey way!
With (what’s left of) my guts intact, might I venture to say that you owe me a…
whole container of screen wipes???
(And not the cheap kind, either!)
Out of curiosity, what kind of things do your kids read? I loved books as a kid, but these days I get most my reading from the internet, magazines, and video games. Newspapers, sometimes. Magazines aren’t too bad for reading to pick up on standard grammar–they come in tons of topics and articles are short.
BTW, good on you for allowing nonstandard grammar in your classroom. There’s a lot of situations where it’s appropriate–like, say, brainstorms or note-taking. I remember having to work very hard to conjole my Freshman year English teacher into not penalizing me for using “improper” English to reflect dialect. Honestly, in a classroom with copies of Huckleberry Finn, it should have been a no-f***ing-brainer.
Jane,
e.e. cummings definitely has Voice. But he could write eloquently in standard English, too. (The Enormous Room) Alice Walker, too; compare The Color Purple to Meridian.
No writer can truly give Voice, without a strong foundation in English Composition – spelling grammar. What does it mean to spell something “wrong” if you don’t know how to spell it right?
And I couldn’t “hear” either of those voices without a solid foundation in standard English, either.
If you want to paint with words, you have to know how to use ALL the brushes and ALL the colors.

I liked the Stan Lee caption…but that might just be because I’m a nerd. :3
“gotta”?
“how to properly use grammar” = split infinitive
“would be ok if it was spelled right” = conditional (“were,” not “was”)
Picky Rho is picky.
In that same vein, I had a friend “correct” me for using the proper use of “too” once. I had previously noticed his errors and when I replied to him using the word correctly (not giving him crap, mind you, it was just part of the response) I was told I was doin’ it wrong. He was a friend from high school and I know he was taught what the correct words were, I was in his English class for several years.
LOL–I hear ya! :^)
What is more aggravating than to be corrected incorrectly?
ERRGGHH!
Testify!
hi
you wrote ‘What is there left to strive for if the status quo is the aim?’ is this a quote from somewhere, or did you just come up with it? it’s very impressive.
“TOO weird”
!
To weird or not to weird?
Yes, and often!
only if it involves rope and lube.
Apparently people vote them through even with the spelling errors.
Honestly, I think it’s possible I voted for this one with the spelling error. I DO think it’s funny…
And the outbreak of spelling errors lately is causing me to proofread my own stuff more carefully, so maybe it’s got a beneficial aspect.
I am starting to believe the spelling errors are a strategy… (Mmmm, CNOSPIRACY!)
.
I know I certainly spend a little more time looking at the misspelled ones, and even if I think “Graargh!!!”, those extra few tenths of a second might be enough to make me notice the joke more. I hope not.
.
.
.
No, okay, I don’t seriously think it’s a strategy. I think people are asshats. ;P
tips ass to danbala
ok
1. asshat – my new favorite word.
2. this is so NOT the commentary I expected to see on such a picture. How much more flamboyant and ridiculous would a person have to be to entertain internet grammar police enough to keep their minds of the spelling of “to”? You people crack me up. As well as also being a total buzzkill. Just let me enjoy the picture!
:p
have we given you enough time to enjoy the picture yet? I’m thinking you have had enough time now. can we get back to having fun with LoL comments now?
You’ve had a whole freaking year to enjoy the picture!
There is nothing humorous enough to stop the grammar police. We have no sense of humor. We will not be amused. And you cannot stop us.
somebody arrest this man. he used a double run-on to end one of his sentences.
I tend to just read over them; for some reason, my eyes automatically correct it for me. I think it’s due to reading my peers’ papers all through school. I’m desensitized.
I sense a disturbance in the Force.

Well I sense a disturbance in the pants.
I find your lack of pants…VERY disturbing
But he’s wearing a kilt! He doesn’t need pants!

For some reason I’m thinking ham on a roll for lunch today.
Please let that be irrelevant.
LOL!!! HAM on a ROLL! Don’t ya get it?
…and all the normal gay men of the world hang thier heads in shame…and wonder, “does he shave or wax?”
I have to wonder… is there a box you tick on the Gay Dude Application Form that signifies “Yes, I will act like a huge clown and fulfill all the stereotypes”?
I dunno, I get all beamy and poignant when I see the dudes and dudettes
put it out there. Yay self-expression! Then again, I lived on Christopher
Street for a decade, so it’s kind of nostalgic for me I suppose.
hopefully not, because my friend, who is incredibly manly and forever getting all the women I wish I had, would surely be shamed out of the gay men’s club. And I, for not dressing like a man, gaining 100 lbs so that my boobs melt into my stomach and wearing steel-toes and flannel and a mullet OR showing off my lesbian hotness with every girl I meet at a party would surely be kicked right out of the bisexual female community. I totally agree with you. It gets ridiculous when you’re just attracted to the same sex and trying to live life and the only people that sympathize act like Liberace’s Jerry Springer rejects. I’m done ranting.
No, no …. there are plenty of us out here that DO sympathize but aren’t flamers!
Good for you for being yourself!
And good on the guy in the picture for being himself.
I actually have more sympathy for those who aren’t flaming.
Only if you want the toaster. Otherwise, no. or so I’ve been told
yea, i did it right! The italics, I mean. Although I did “it” pretty well last night…
Too bad you were alone, right?
Some of the homosexuals I’ve known have made me wonder.
It seems like for every normal guy who just happens to like guys and doesn’t make a fuss about it, you get a drag queen who shakes his hips like a woman and uses the stereotypical “Gay Voice.” Hell, one of my former workplaces had one of both kinds. Working on nights when both of them were on the clock was surreal.
well, here’s the thing.
.
Imagine you are forced to hide your natural inclinations every waking moment of your entire life, then suddenly you find yourself in a place where you can finally be yourself. It’s like a spring under tension. When you release the pressure, the spring doesn’t find an equilibrium immediately. It bounces back & forth with crazy energy.
.
If “flamers” are left free to act naturally, they settle down into an equilibrium. If they are put under new pressures, they continue to bounce back & forth like a spring.
So you are saying that the gays who aren’t flamboyant are just buttoned down? I blame my tired brain but that semed like what you might be saying.
I am speaking as a gay man and from my experience in speaking with many, many homosexual people. There are many possibilities as to why some gay people aren’t flamboyant.
.
1. Maybe they are “buttoned down.”
2. Maybe they were flamboyant at one point, but grew out of that phase in their life.
3. Maybe they’re just not a flamboyant person. I’m not & I’m gay.
.
I’m not trying to be funny. I’m just making an observation.
Makes sense but I have my doubts. Thanks for your insight though, very appreciated.
Ditto that. I appreciate the explanation.
I think the conclusion is that if this guy wasn’t repressed at some point in his life, he’d be wearing jeans and a polo. But I could be wrong.
Yeah, that^
.
For some people, anyway, hehe. I can’t really speak except in the broadest of generalities.
Think of it like this. Remember your first year of college when you suddenly realized that mommy & daddy weren’t breathing down your neck 24/7 & you went on a three week beer binge?
.
Like that, plus feathers.
How do you know the three week beer binge DIDN’T involve feathers? Hmmmmm? ; )
My friends are gutted for me: I won’t be 18 until well after Fresher’s week. No pub crawls for me. I’m teetotal tho, so I’m not too bothered about it.
I’d like to make the smarta$$ comment that no, I don’t remember it, but I was told it happened; however, all of you know that’s not true. So, I’ll just have to log that one away for when I do go to college. ;P
Don’t forget the feathers!
You happen to be really right – he was repressed as a child, he escaped the midwest, he ended up here (NY). And he’s one of the nicest, awesomest people I’ve ever met.
You know him? Awesome! My friends from San Francisco who dress like this on occasion (Faerie gatherings, Pride, Folsom street fair, Mardi Gras) generally fall into one of two categories: really cool people who love and accept everyone (about 3/4 of them), and uptight gossipy control freaks (the other 1/4). Glad to hear he’s one of the former.
Sometimes, as a gay guy, you just need to go and be gay. Doesn’t have to be dressing up in glitter and feathers either.
You know him in real life? Oh man, give this guy a hug for me!
I seriously doubt it’s a 1:1 ratio, more like there are plenty of gay men that you encounter and never even know that they’re gay.
“Had one of both kinds…”
Nice language, man. What kind are you?
Dude, calm down! It’s going to be ok! : )
-
My best friend is a flaming homo, and he loves the stereotypes. He says it gives him room to be silly. He loves going to (not participating in) drag shows, and is at times rather normal as opposed to flitting around the room like a flaming butterfly. Anyone who can dress as your friend has done in this picture obviously doesn’t mind a little fun being poked. : )
I don’t mind fun being poked, but read his comment again, frou. It’s insulting. No one asks, “Hey, what kind of homo are you?” Read it again, then read my comment again. It’s a lol site and, sorry, not funny.
Um, the L is a she, and she wasn’t being demeaning in any way. She was just commenting on the fact that having two flamboyant homosexuals working the same shift was surreal to her. What part were you getting upset at again?
-
And most people don’t have to ask ‘what kind of homo are you?’ because it’s usually obvious, lol. If you’re obviously gay, it shows : )
Wow. Who knew you could write a commentary just as bad as L’s starting with the very first sentence!?!?
The part that upset me is pretty clear if you read my comments. Gay people don’t come in “kinds” just like the way black people don’t come in “kinds” or developmentally disabled people don’t come in “kinds”. Apparently, normal homos don’t have “gay voice” either.
“If you’re obviously gay, it shows.” WOW frou. Just. WOW.
Hmmmmm……I sense much bitterness with this one.
-
Actually, there ARE kinds of developmentally challenged. Autism isn’t the same as cerebral paulsey isn’t the same as hydrocephlia isn’t the same as just being born with a lower IQ. All need different types of care.
-
And obviously gay man is obvious. Lighten up, DW. Flamboyant is as flamboyant does! : )
“Gay people don’t come in “kinds” just like the way black people don’t come in “kinds” or developmentally disabled people don’t come in “kinds”.”
I don’t know if you’re familiar with John Callahan, but he’s a cartoonist who’s been confined to a wheelchair since he was 21, approx. 30 years ago. While he can often be an atomic-weapon-quality horse’s ass, both in person and in his work, he’s also sometimes right on the money.
Anyway, his autobiography has a section where he says something to the effect of, “Not all disabled people are alike. Some are cool”… and then, to illustrate that, he has drawn a cartoon of a guy in a wheelchair wearing a pimp hat and wraparound shades, smoking a cigarette. I about died laughing the first time I saw it.
No offense to your friend, but I think Callahan has a point in this instance. Gay people, straight people, black people, vegans, naughty librarians, and everybody else do come in kinds. Some are smart, some are skinny, some are fat, some can draw really well, some play seven different musical instruments, etc. etc. etc. I’m not sure what your objection is to the word “kinds”, but I think a variety is preferable to one monolithic stereotype of any group.
Total loss. Too sensitive to see sense. Yes, we *do* all come in kinds, so there. It’s just that most of us are more than one kind of thing, all at the same time.
I’ll allow that, if you’ll allow me to say that you, Froo and Tess are three of the BEST kind!
)
Aww, thanks! Good company I keep, I guess!
When I read it, it seemed as she was saying ‘both kinds’ in reference to the 2 types she sees. One talking differently than the other, one more flamboyant.
Okay, as a homo my own self, let me say this… There is a gay voice, only it isn’t only confined to gay people. Confessed straight dudes get the ‘he’s gay’ whispers behind their backs because of a perceived feminine tone in their voices.
I admire your friend, he seems happy in who he is.
(Okay, I have a problem with one gay thing… calling someone “girl” or referring to yourself as a woman. I like men. I want a man to be stereotypically male, which to me means accepting your maleness. I don’t mind referring to a TG as she, it’s no problemo)
I also admire you, you are very passionate about what you believe!
Think of it like science fiction fans…
The guy from IT, who dresses up like a Klingon three times a year.
The quiet heavy-set lady who has an extra set of latex boobs and spends her weekends as an Askajian dancer.
The mailroom apprentice who goes 3 days and nights, fueled only by a Dr. Pepper IV as he guides his Legions of Doom across a map.
Gay pride is a lot like that. People who live quiet lives the rest of the year tend to let it all hang out for a weekend among their own people.
Is there a box on the straight guy’s form that states,”I will only accept gay guys if they act straight”?
Nope, but some gay men will state that they only will date gay guys if they act straight.
And as a heterosexual woman I would say I am not interested in dating guys who act straight.
And me, as a heterosexual woman, am not interested in dating men who ‘act straight’.
P
.
(Made a smiley mistake, PK ate post, so if this ends up being double later, I apologize.)
He waxes, and why are you ashamed? Get over yourself, please…
Because I’m a bisexual woman that looks like a woman, with many gay friends, and we act like adults instead of dressing up like clowns. These guys remind me of the stupid girls that get drunk at parties and act like raving whores with everyone they see just to show off thier sexuality-straight or gay. It’s disgusting, obnoxious, embarassing and immature. There’s a BIG differance between a regular person having fun once in awhile, acting crazy and then going on with thier lives, and someone who lives in a fantasy land where every gay person must frolic around like a sex nymph with a lisp. Seems you can’t get over me, having to respond to my every comment.
Personally, I have a soft spot in my heart for all those willing to cast off the demands of society and totally let their freak flag fly! “If it does not pick my pocket, or break my back,” then I’m completely in favor of freaks being themselves!
Okay, I will draw the line at one thing: freaks of the world, please remember to bathe and wash your clothes. Everything else, make your own rules!
Well, so do I, whether they (we?) be straight, gay or just … freaky.
)
…or if it stays *off my lawn!!*

Hey, that guy stole Rydia’s cape! Bastard!!
Nice blades. I wish mine were that new.
This reminds me of my ex-wife on Bingo Nights!
I hope, for your sake, she didn’t shave her armpit hairs into squares. But, hey–that’s just me.
No, thankfully! But she had a hell of a right-cross..
I’m sorry.
My favorite part are the flowers sprouting out of the Roman-style helm.
As a retired amateur Belly Dancer, I’d have to say I deeply admire his veil work. You go girl!
“retired amateur Belly Dancer”
Oh, dear. I think I’m developing a crush on the Amateur Belly Dancer/turned gradeschool teacher!
*grins* Yes, snatched me another one!
Can it be? Is it really? Is the the “O” man out for a spin?
That sad part of it is, it’s hard for other gay men to be taken seriously, when one of them is skating around looking like a gladiator parrot. *sigh*
Noes! It’s the gay pride parade! It’s fun and confrontational.
Can’t there be room for gladiator parrots?
Only if there is room for the marauding hordes of pellicans!!!
There’s always enough room for that darling.
No, apparently it’s only OK to be gay as long as you act straight!!!
I can’t remember where I first heard it, but I love using the line,”I don’t mind if you are straight, so long as you act gay in public.”
WOW that line is epic win.
I’m loving me some Stepnerd right now…
No the sad part is being straight, I am not allowed to be the “fabulous”. Why can’t I enjoy my flamboyance and women dammit!!!!
You could go as Mrs. DoubtsFire
Or he could be in the Mummer’s Parade in Philly…
D’oh…nice pun Pittypat…I didn’t see his name!!!!! Pittypat FTW!!
Thanks Mom!
Or dress up as a woman like hundreds of other supposedly curious college men on Halloween…. still haven’t figured out that phenomenon.
It is much like a beard. It isn’t so much the fabulous you have on the outside as it is about the fabulous you have on the inside.
Work your inner fabulous.
I’m rugged.
Rugged, eh?…. so when ARE you going to visit Adelaide?
NEVAR!
I was there a few years ago. Bored the hell out of me.
.
Perhaps it wasn’t intended, but I saw DWN’s post as a Dexter’s Lab reference.
You saw correctly. I wear my beard on the outside and within. The beard is strong in this one…
Two words, man…
Mardi Gras.
Growing up in New Orleans, I definitely saw straight guys looking as fabulous (and/or ridiculous) as guys in gay pride parades. Though I have to say the gay ones are frequently more attractive. I am forever scarred by a couple of 30something yr old guys in women’s bathing suits and beer guts wearing contestant sashes reading “Miss Chalmette” and “Miss Gretna.”
How about Halloween? Pretty darned fabulous around Salem, MA for the whole month of October!
Or embrace your inner GQ subscriber, and push the boundaries with color and fabrics? Most of the women I know appreciate a little ‘dash’ in a guy, gay or straight. And wish there were a few more guys who were willing to put in a little effort. The sweatshirt and flannel look is over-used!
*looks at my black long coat and seven foot long dark gray scarf with purple trim*
A little dash you say…
!!! *Swoon*
/fernando voice/
Darling, you can be the fabulous and yet, still be the manly.
He’s also an actor and performer. And it’s only hard to be taken seriously when you don’t take yourself seriously. It’s not like provocative female belly dancers in a parade are a reflection of me. HELLO, it’s a fliipin’ parade. It’s not like he shows up for work like this. Ever think that maybe he’s embarressed by you?
Don’t get so upset, DW. If he doesnt’ take himself that seriously, then people poking a little fun at his silly outfit won’t embarass or upset him. : )
-
I love the feathers, hehe.
Frou, I’m surprised by you this time. Trust me, he’s not embarressed or ashamed of who he is. If someone else is embarressed or ashamed by him, isn’t that THEIR problem?
It is their problem, which is why I was calling you on it. It’s not YOUR problem, nor your problem to defend your friend. I just thought you went a little overboard on your post, that’s all : ) It didn’t seem warranted for the original comment.
Whatever – I’m logging off for the night. This just became not fun for me.
Because you are taking it WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY too personally.
First of all, “belly dance” is an American term for Middle Eastern dance and isn’t entirely accurate. It originated, I believe, at the Chicago world’s fair and early film cemented this view in American pop culture as being fact, when prior to this it wasn’t necessarily meant to be a suggestive seductive dance. In modern times, however, even in the middle east where Middle Eastern dancers perform they dance in this style since it has come to be expected for so long, although there has been a tribal/fusion resurgance of late. And even if I WERE a “provocative” belly dancer (and I did dance with an amateur troupe for a few years) that doesn’t make me any less of a woman.
I’ve seen some traditional bellydance on youtube–very, very impressive. And rather buttoned-up clothing, too.
I’ve also been in the audience of a somewhat ‘provocative’ bellydance…and what a pro! She managed to be a little bit naughty, without offending anyone. Good group social control, entertainment, and impressive dancing skills in one package.
If true, that says a lot about the people who can’t take person A seriously because of person B’s behaviour. I look pretty silly (sometimes very silly). Am I causing all heterosexual women to be taken less seriously? Probably not.
The first thing that came to mind was: What outfit?
Pedal to the metal!!!!!!!!!!
I wondered what happened to my dining room drape cords…
ZOMG – I know that guy. We went to massage school together in NYC. He is a riot! And an excellent massage therapist. Wow. Small world. Hi Rich!
And I went to HS with him back in the ‘burbs of Chicago!!! (100 years ago) Small world, indeed!
*sings*
Tall and tan and young and handsome… the Boy from Ipanema goes walking… And when he passes, each one he passes goes:

Those skates don’t even match his outfit. Sheesh.
Any shade of green would have worked better. Or maybe yellow?
This in more proof of my theory that the hardest part of roller skating, is telling your parents you are gay.
**THAT’S** why I couldn’t catch on! It wasn’t that I was out of shape or too clumsy to stay upright–I’m just too straight! Yep, that’s it, alright. ~.O
Oh no you di’nt! That punch line goes to another joke I like too much to give it up:
Q: “Which is harder, being black, or being gay?”
A: “Being gay. You never have to tell your parents you’ve discovered you’re black!”

Based on the fact that you’re a sore loser?

“The next is Evolution. If you are a Darwinist, then there should be no need for homosexuality, since relationships, and eventually, sex, are only needed for procreation.”
Here’s another thing he needs to fix- Darwinism is about evolution of species, not procreation, therefore homosexuality is unrelated to Darwinism, regardless of whether it makes sense or not.
Also, humans are one of the species that mates for pleasure, Chrono, because Darwin is probably right about Evolution, yes, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be circumvented. Haven’t you been to Wal-mart recently?
There are plenty of religions that openly accept homosexuality, Chrono, you just need to look for them. Trust me- there are quite a few, despite what the Catholic Church may want it to look like.
