If only gay fuel was available back then, bet that coffee shop would still be open.

I don't mean to ask anything that may be uncomfortable but I am curious how the gay community is perceived in the US, I only know what I see on the news. Seams so archaic, I don't mean to suggest in any way we are more progressive here but I don't understand why there is so much controversy over it there.

I don't think anyone can say any community (whether based upon race, nationality, sex, sexual orientation, religion) is perceived a certain way by the US in general.

It all depends upon individuals.

That's good news, we certainly have our share of bigots here but being gay is about as controversial as being left handed.

Luckily I've encountered more bigotry from "internet toughguys" than I have in real life (the few instances with the Phelps cult don't count). Oddly enough, I've encountered a lot of bigotry on Android Forums :S.

We banned the Phelps' from Canada. Sorry to hear the you were harassed though.

That's pretty much how it is with anything on the Internet.

Any and all forums have trolls and haters who start fights due to the anonymity provided, even if they would not start fights IRL (or don't even hate IRL).

I don't know any members of the Linux Groups who hate Windows, but Linux forums sure have a lot of Windows haters.

Canada has specifically banned members of the Westboro Baptist Church from entering the country! - Other - Interesting Facts and Fun Facts - OMG Facts

There is left handed people on here? Not for long d@mmit!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just kidding. In the U.S. it really is dependent on the folks you talk to. I know people that are incredibly opinionated in one way or the other and some that are not about anything. Where it gets really fun is when one side accuses the other of bias behavior while exhibiting the same.

Heh, I'm a lefty .

How sinister!

I like how eye doctors still use Latin for left eye and right eye on prescriptions for glasses/contacts: oculus sinister and oculus dexter.

I'm right handed, but my dominant eye is my left eye.

I'm the same and since I found about about that while shooting at the range, sinister kinda fits. (sinister=left?)

Yep, sinister=left.

Same here, have to wear glasses when driving for right eye alone.

That's unusual. In most cases of nearsightedness, the dominant eye is more nearsighted. Ocular dominance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You should totally start driving with a monacle .

YEAH! Cool idea...would go great with my cane & top hat!

[drjay868]

That'll teach you for trying to get the worm in the mescal!

The lady-friend's coworker actually brought a bottle of mescal back from Mexico because she knows how how much I like tequila... just down to the worm now, but not in a hurry to actually eat the worm... I just enjoy the ride to it!

[drjay868]

You know, its not the destination, its the journey.

That's it... now I need to see pic of you driving at night... wearing a monacle!

Ok... should have read down a few posts to see PP suggest the monacle too... but too late!

Yes, but don't forget there are a lot of really stupid and ignorant individuals in this country ... and I think a bunch of them are posting in Snooze & Tumors right now.
