the gay basketball player controversy

*snicker*

 

this country guarantees freedom of speech, not freedom of opinion... big difference

 

yah, what goes on at a homophobia rehab center that isaih washington went to from grey's anatomy? anyone know???

 

I never understood why someone's sexuality ought to be an issue in anything. It's rather stupid.

 

by castigating this person for expressing an apalling opinion, we're well within our rights.

 

interesting apology, he said he was sorry for what he said and not what he believed

 

Actually he did redact much of what he originally said, but only under the threat of further sanctions by the NBA.

the issue is with gay teamates, the rest of the team won't feel comfortable taking showers

 

well, my best friend won't ever let me see her naked. i'm not offended by it.

 

are you saying the nba should provide for separate but equal shower facilities for the gay athletes?

 

maybe a seperate one for the one who's so concerned about being seen. or he could shower at home.

 

john lennon, for as much as we love him for being a peace activist, was into peeping at people with their clothes off... he sang about it in a song "power to the peephole, power to the peephole right on" and so should john lennon have his own shower wherever he goes?

 

perhaps you should dig him up and ask...if he's really good, maybe they'll install a glory hole, too.

 

I never had an issue with anyone's sexuality, it was the way my siblings and I were raised I suppose.

Showering with a gay person doesn't turn you into a homosexual, and just because there's a gay person in the room when your team is showering doesn't mean there's some kind of threat.

Being paranoid about showering with someone of a different sexuality is about as prejudicial as being paranoid about showering with someone of a different race.

Quit being so weird about it. If we keep making these things an issue, than the issue will never go away.

 

with that reasoning, anyone should allowed to use any male or female public bathroom which if that was the case, the social order would be thrown into total chaos and the military would have to invoke marsha law

or would like it if when you went to a public bathroom that men were laying on the floor looking up into the cubicle while you did your business?... that's what you are really saying

 

Anybody who would extract pleasure from watching someone else take a dump is in dire need of mental rehabilitation anyway.

 

nah. but the fact that someone is checking you out sexually while you're trying to shower IS a bit of an issue, and understandably so. which is why my best friend has never let me see her naked. poor dear, sharing a room with me must have been nervewracking for her.

 

If that true then half the folks over at the Love & Sex Thread are in dire need of psychiatric help

A couple of them like to dry it out and smoke each others feces like they would a cigarette or a joint :leaving:

the "reaching in" foul in basketball would be seen in a whole different context

 

Its a good thing im not in charge of the world cause the peter puffin, lets hide each others sausage types would be the first to go...but im not in charge so the best I can do is try to stay clear of the broke back mountain types......
