Ugh...that's sucky that you have such a friend. And the Powerpuff Girls equate coolness. And you listen to BNL. Based on that alone, We all know that you are cool. Or at least I do. The Barenaked Ladies are great.
She actually says that they're gay? I Hate her. Already. First off it's the whole using "gay" as an insult thing,
AND
The fact that she dissed BNL. Anyone who thinks that Steven and Robbie are anything below BRILLIENT...they are evil and I hate them. Yep.
And on with the ranting.

I think that using fag and gay as an insult is just a part of the language. It really is offensive, but I don't think that when people call something gay, they don't intend it to be mean toward gay people.

OOOOOOOHHHHHH! Are we going to make this a anti smoking debate also? yay!
Smoking is a deplorable habit. How can people go ahead, slowly killing themselves and not care?
It never fails to amaze me. I hate it.

I agree with Swans on that it's a sin, but nothing bugs me more than when people do hate crimes towards homosexuals in the name of Christianity (yes, I am a Christian). True, the Bible does say it's wrong, but it also says 'Love your neighbor as yourself,' and also not to judge others. As for smoking, it is gross. It's annoying being in college where it's actually allowed (as opposed to high school where it's not), so to get into classrooms I must get past smelly smokers who hang out in the doorways. Bleh. If you want to smoke, fine, but don't make everyone else inhale it too. I must stop ranting or I'll be late to my physics exam, which I wouldn't mind missing but I don't want to get a 0 on it (sorry for off-topicness, but I need to rant about it as I am nervous about it).

OOOOH! This annoys me too. I won't get all ranty on you, but... 1- I know a couple of gay guys. It's no big deal. They're both really spiffy. I to do not understand why people care so much about their sexual orientation. 2- One of the things that REALLY bugs me, is how people always call things "gay". You know, like "OH my god, that is so gay...", as if being a homosexual is some sort of horrible, disgusting thing...they cannot help it. They were just born that way. It's like saying "Oh, that's so African American!" or, as I've actually heard used a bunch of times "Oh, that's really Mexican!". Ok, let's not use these things as insults. There is NOTHING right about using any of those against anyone. That's just...I can't really go on. acctually they wouldn't really wake up one day and decide this. They're kinda born with it. It isn't a choice or a decision its an attraction. 3- I don't like it when people say stuff along the lines of "Oh, it's a choice". You know, like Some guy just wakes up one morning, yawns and says, "Hey, forget women for a while, I'm going after MEN!".... And all the Hate Crimes against them adn...UGH! It's disgusting. I know my thoughts are poorly organized/written...but whatever. Maybe later I can fix it...

I don't think everyone is so "homophobic" instead people just like to label people that way.. I've never said in my life "oh that's so gay" as in insult.. the times I've said "oh that's so gay" it was describe a gay person. It wasn't an insult it was just part of a story.. people are too sensitive. I don't even find gay people frightening unless it's a really gross lesbian hitting on me then I find that totally creeps me out... but it also creeps me out when a really gross guy hits on me. But I do think being gay is a sin, and I do think it is a choice.. and the whole issue of hate crimes, er. You know I used to be very much on the hate crimes are the worst crimes ever, and I understand that there are horrible things that go on in this world and it's all based on prejudice and fear. But eh, motivation for murder is taken too much into account sometimes.. and it pisses me off that politics gets so involved with sentencing. So basicly you're saying that gay poeple are bad people "but I do think being gay is a sin" Its not a choice. That's just like saying being heterosexual is a choice. I've had crushes on guys since I was in kindergarden and I never thought any different of it like "Now why do I choose to like guys over girls". BTW I totally lost you when you started talking about hate crimes. Anyways; have you ever thought to yourself about the desicion you are making when you choose to date a person of the opposite sex? I think not.
