I´m related to Hannibal? Then I know who to eat. (On second thoughts: no, I don´t want to get sick.)

I didn´t say comments are not allowed

I wonder why you said your comment only about my comment

as I always see "le sarcasme est l´image de ce forum"

Of course all comments are allowed as long as they don´t breach forum rules!     Please remember QueenT that not everyone can understand French and the language of the forums is English

yes LIR I know forums language is English and I don´t forget that for sure

but I supposed that French is more elegant to speak about politeness

you won´t for sure

You are too old to be enlightened now, Trudy...We´ll just have to live with you.

Your family should have enlightened you long ago...They were probably too busy, breaking their own taboos then

 Oui, vous avez raison - je suis d´accord    (and a smack on the hand for me for not practising what I preach!  )

... are we looking for some vacarious pleasure here?

 As I mentioned earlier, I´ve never heard of fornicator, adulterer parades....We have a policy here of "don´t ask, don´t tell", that is not enough for some people.  How does anyone know what people do in private unless they choose to divulge the information themselves?

You know, back in the day, women who dared to claim they´re equal to men were considered sick and abnormal as well. They also did protest marches, demonstrations etc. And they made a change. I wounder how much they´d have succeeded if they kept their "crazy" idea to themselves...

What is hard for me to comprehend is how easily people judge others as abnormal. We hear that it is only natural for people of opposite genders to have sex as only they are able to procreate (I won´t even bother to comment on the "married people only" idea as I´m still laughing at it). So, logically, people who use contraception are doing something abnormal as they are having intercourse not leading to conception.

Gays are more likely to be a threat to society only if most countries promote intolerance. Then we´ll have more aggressive "in-your-face" kind of gays. Aggression provokes aggression. Accept that they are just the way they are, they do not hurt anyone by preferring to go to bed with people of their own gender. Is it strage to accept that they want to be legally recognised as partners? Two people who spend their life together  may come to the point that they can´t decide about their partner´s life (eg whether or not to turn off life-supporting equipment) or cannot inherit after their partner. It is all that the fact of being married entitles you to. So what if it´s John & JOhn rather than John & Mary?

Comparing homosexuals to perverts is a huge exaggeration, after all it´s two ADULT people having sex they both CONSENTED to. I don´t really see the menace to society. So what if your teacher is gay? Do you expect him/her to talk about his sex life? Do you expect your heterosexual teachers to talk about theirs? If teachers are to promote heterosexual marriages, then all single and divorced teachers should be laid off.

 You probably, I´m not. So no, no ´we´. (Yikes, the idea of ´we´.)
