Subway employee sacked over gay porn career
When a corporation starts using an employee's personal life against them, it starts to become a "big brother" issue. I have contacted Subway and told them they can support the one customer who complained, but have just lost another customer. While I myself would never make an adult movie, it is perfectly legal and should have had no bearing on Mr. Wild's employment. (32 min ago | post #1)

Well, you've just proven Republicans have no sense of humor by posting this in response to my post! (Friday Sep 5 | post #214)

He probably said that so she wouldn't send her gun-toting, fanatical church members after him. I mean, c'mon, it's already been said that SHE can shoot a moving target from a moving helicopter. Come to think of it.. maybe that's why Levi is marrying Bristol. Gives a whole new meaning to "shotgun wedding". Him running across the glacier to get away and Palin hanging out of the helicopter with him in her scope! (Friday Sep 5 | post #210)

Now, there's that lovely Repub condescending tone we all know so well! You automatically assume since I won't bow down at the McCain/Palin alter, then I must uneducated, immature or just stupid. No, I've lived almost a half a century. I've seen many political battles in my day. I've followed politics closely for well over 30 years. I used to be Republican - was even a VERY active member of Young Republicans in college. And I'll be honest. The Republican Party didn't mean the same thing in the 70's and early 80's that it means today. It was a good party before being hijacked by the fanaticals. I don't read just liberal sources. I read all the sources I can and then usually throw out the most liberal and most conservative slants, because they are usually self serving. Ithen take the facts, or in some cases supposed facts, that I have gathered, study them and determine where I stand. If you have a select number of sources and then take their word as gospel, then how are you actually making up your own mind? (Friday Sep 5 | post #180)

I have done research, thank you very much. And I've actually listened to Obama himself. How many times have you heard Palin speak or be interviewed since her nomination? Oh, yeah... ONCE! And the research you speak so highly of has pointed out to me that Palin is one who put her newborn at risk, has possibly abused her power as governor, has placed a small town in enormous debt, is a fanatical who thinks that choices that have been legal for years should now be outlawed, who thinks that the only education we should give kids regarding sex is "Don't do it!" and who believes she is ordained to carry out God's work and that's why she's in public office. Well, no thanks! She sounds exactly like Sally Kern to me, and that should scare anybody. (Friday Sep 5 | post #176)

It's very interesting to me that Palin wasn't even heard of until a week ago but all the Republicans know everything about her! They won't even question if she abused her power. They won't even question if she has experience. They won't even question if she really represents all their views. Nope, they just accept since McCain chose her, she has to be the chosen one and is pure as the driven Alaskan snow. It took me months to make up my mind about Obama. I listened to everything he had to say in multiple venues. I compared his views on multiple issues with my own. Then I made my decision. How in the world do all the Republicans know everything about this woman in ONE WEEK???? (Friday Sep 5 | post #160)

Well, this is a TYPICAL Republican response. Nothing is the Repub's fault, it's just because everybody else is less valuable and less worthy than themselves. Notice how this Republican manages to put just about everybody except a white upper-class in low esteem. That speaks volumes about where the Repubs are coming from. (Friday Sep 5 | post #146)

Excellent! But, let's take it away from marriage for a moment since that can be such a hot topic. I have children, therefore I'm a father. Just like my next-door neighbor is a father. So, on the surface it looks like we are the same, correct? But, he is a father of two. I'm a father of three. If we stop there, then the only difference in us is the amount of children. But, his children are very young. Mine are grown. So, there's another distinction. He has two girls. I have two girls and a boy. He is married. I am partnered. He's in his early 30's. I'm in my.. ahem... very late 40's. He is straight. I am gay. So, while we can share the label of "father" , there are very distinct differences. And so it is with marriage. The generic label of "marriage " can apply to all sorts. It's only when you dig deep down to the participants that you can see the differences. (Thursday Sep 4 | post #153)

I would say that the words "typical white person" are no more derogatory, inflammatory or have more hidden meaning than "average hockey mom", which are Palin's own words. It's just saying there is nothing out of the ordinary here. If you do think he meant something more by it, then obviously Palin has a hidden agenda in her words, too. (Thursday Sep 4 | post #121)

But, what you are implying here is that all straight couples that are "married " is the same. Every couple has their own definition of marriage. For some, it's the convenience. For some, it's the undying love. For others, it's being totally monogomous. But, yet for others, it can include relationships outside the couple. Yet, in the eyes of the law they are all equally married. Since the word already has multiple definitions, allowing gays access only adds another layer. It doesn't totally change it. You could ask ten people what "Marriage " is and you might get ten different answers. Some may say it's having a ceremony in a church. Others may say it's the joining of two people. And others may say it's a man and a woman's relationship recognized by the state. So, there isn't a universal definition. And, coincidentally, the word marriage already legitimately includes gay couples in 2 of our states and in many countries. So, it's already a valid use of the term. (Thursday Sep 4 | post #141)

Homer, I do appreciate the fact that you are honest with your personal feelings and, even though we disagree, you haven't been rude or disrespectful. I think you are searching for answers to your feelings and that's admirable. (Thursday Sep 4 | post #108)

Tony, let me add to this: I was born in 1959. I recall my first attraction to the same sex was about 1967 (I had a crush on William Smith in "Laredo" ). I can't tell you how many gay influences were around in middle America in the early 60's! Thank god there were all those gay TV shows and movies I could see. Thank god there were so many active gay organizations etc. See, if there's nothing presented, then there's nothing to learn. It just "is". I didn't even have a word for it until much, much later. And then every time I heard "gay" or "homosexual " I cringed because somebody might find me out. I made sure I always had a girlfriend - well, more a girl who was a friend - but that can be passed off in high school. I just played up I was a "nice guy". As an adult I got married and had kids. It wasn't until I had the gun in my mouth that I came to grips with it. So, yeah, it was something I "chose". Get real. (Thursday Sep 4 | post #104)

Ok, let's take your logic. What if the whole world was black? Oh, there wouldn't be any white people. Therefore, it must be wrong to white. Correct? (Thursday Sep 4 | post #95)
