I'm having a conversation that is either fantastic, depressing, or fantastically depressing. The guy is arguing in favor of oppressing gays in the military.

Do people not realize this shit is just like woman rights and black rights all over again?

He's a Mormon. At one point he said...

AAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH

It's alright Nonsie, someone will kick him in the nuts eventually and ruin his ability to procreate.

I . . . I don't remember. I think I shit out all of the sadness in my life as one of my many psychological defenses.

Honestly, I've been Mormon long enough to know that

1) We're not an oppressed minority
2) We disagree with but do not discriminate against gay people
3) We unfortunately have not found a miracle cure for stupidity

EDIT: To elaborate, it must have been depressing for you to be in the same room as that jerk, but I'm depressed because now some people probably think I'm associated with him. Ew.

One time in second grade I thought a girl was talking shit about me so I pushed her and called her a poop head and then she pushed me back and called me a butt face so I ran away and cried in the hallway.

Then she came out and apologized to me and tried to make me feel better.

Actually, that story is kind of adorable. I feel slightly better about everything else in this thread now.

The leaders do.

I wish I could just let loose with a totally tactless tirade against dogmatic belief systems and prevalent religious sentiments but I guess this is the internet and I don't want to be a total douche hat ass bag.

I wonder if its going too far to admit that I've discriminated against the mormon church for a long time now. Not as long as I've discriminated against catholicism or christianity in general, but its definitely a bit more directed.
