QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 04:20 PM) Will Chicago have any modern/alternative rock stations (other than obviously XRT, whatever they count as)? XRT is trash, and certainly not an alt rock station. Nope, nothing modern. First we lost 94.7 which was a great station, now we lose q101 which wasn't a great station but was seriously the only contemporary rock station left.

Nice, someone posted bleacher report opinion. I hate that site. As for Rasmus... he'd fit right in with the other disappointments on our roster. Obviously I'd still love to get him in a deal for Jackson +, but we all know that's not happening, so it's a moot point.

I think it'd be news if there weren't news about Jake Peavy's health.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 01:15 PM) Were you honestly wondering whether people would be ok with bestiality? Just seemed like you were trolling. Of course he's trolling. Read his 10 posts. Anyway, the troll has derailed the thread, so congrats.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 01:11 PM) Rule 34, I do not reject this claim out of hand. It can lead to a broader discussion of societal norms and what, if any, boundaries we should have and why. He responds to my post about my uncle, and what he meant to my family, with that. What he brought up was more than likely a "joke" as he likes to state with his whopping 7 posts about his joking ways, and it was also about a crude, illegal act performed on an animal. I'd expected any number of responses to my post about my uncle and how important acceptance was to him, not a joke about horse f***ing. But hey, if we're down with that post, I'll just leave the thread.

QUOTE (jenksfart @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 01:08 PM) I had an aunt who had sexual relations with her horse. Now I know people will think I'm joking and no I am not trying to make a connection here. I just want to know if you would accept her too? Because it was very hard for my parents, particularly my mom, because that was her older sister. I'm indifferent because I only have memories of my aunt from when I was 4 years old before she passed. You just don't care about issues when you are young. I'd be a-ok with this jackass being banned, world.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 12:55 PM) Steve, Russ, you guys have a gay relative? Or what's the reason for your over-sensitivity and hyperbole? My uncle was gay (Dad's brother), but he died in 1990 (I was 7, he was 28), so I have very little recollection of him. He was brilliant, though, and actually made a ton of recordings prior to his death about his fears of death as well as discussing most of his life, good and bad, and how the day his parents accepted him was easily the greatest and most relieving day of his life. I just don't see how people can be so unaccepting and close-minded, and so turned off by someone who is different. The fears J4L brings up are just so whacky and unrealistic that it's offensive to anyone with an open mind. I grew up in a very open and accepting home, and while neither myself nor my sister is gay, we certainly were raised right and understand there's a lot more to life than hate, and hate sucks. Hate only applies to Alex Rios, Ozzie Guillen's managerial tactics, and anything else White Sox right now.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 12:52 PM) J4L, I'll just sum it up like this: Personality =/= sexuality. So eloquently and accurately stated. I commend you.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 12:48 PM) When in doubt, let's pull the race card. Like I said, if your brother wasn't gay you wouldn't be nearly as anal about this. Yup, clearly he's the only one who thinks your stance is archaic.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 12:45 PM) Yes, I wouldn't want to live with a Big Gay Al clone. It's hilarious that I stated your views of homosexuality were probably born from South Park and a few pages later you type this.

The fears that J4L brings up are common ones, I don't want to act like I'm completely shocked he'd have them. I just can't believe he'd so openly state all of this information and in the same breath claim he has no problems with gay people. J4L Homsexuality Rules 1 - You better know I'm not gay. (ie, I'm off the market dude) 2 - Just don't act gay in front of me, or 2b - Don't throw your gayness in my face. (ie, act straight) 3 - Don't force your porns on me. 4 - Don't have crazy loud gay sex all over me. 5 - I will not accept my gay child. Your views of homosexuality are clearly based in reality and you also clearly have no problem with gay people! That's it, we've hammered it home. I don't need to repeat myself any more. You clearly have a problem with gay people and have admitted as much, but refuse to admit it.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 12:38 PM) Well to move in with anybody you would have to know them fairly well. I guess it depends. You have people that are outwardly gay. Like they have np problem letting the world know. Like you don't even have to wonder. It's obvious. The clothes they wear, the way they walk and talk. Was anybody shocked when Ricky Martin or Lance Bass came out? I don't think I could be around that every day. If you're more reserved about it. And not throwing it in everybody's face 24/7, yeah, I could deal with that. Just don't be all the way gay!

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 12:32 PM) Would you move in with a roommate that you knew was gay? No way he would! All gay people do is try to hit on J4L and have sex in front of him and swap out his Jenna Jameson porns for gay porns. And don't act like that's not what you meant, because those are the three main concerns you've raised in this thread. Oh, and then there was that happy picture you painted of forever being disappointed in a future child if he or she dared "choose" to be gay.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 12:25 PM) Look, this all started when Steve came out of nowhere and said I hate gay people. Please link me to this statement. I said you have a problem with gay people, which you have since then admitted to... don't put words in my mouth.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 12:21 PM) I could never accept my kin choosing that way. There are no words. This is just sad for everyone who knows you.

Of course nothing will happen.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 12:16 PM) Well, i think he said 99% of men wouldn't want to have gay sons. I dunno that he claimed that that's because of how gross being gay is, though that's clearly his opinion. The funny part is that whenever my wife and I discuss having a child and when that will happen, the last thing on our minds is the worry of whether said child would be homosexual. It saddens me that some people are still so close-minded.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 12:13 PM) I did read it. And I thought nothing of it. I don't equate me not wanting to be anywhere near gay sex to a white man not wanting to live next to a black man. But your ridiculous scenario doesn't say the gay sex is happening on top of you, it says that the gay sex is happening in a separate room under your roof. You don't want segregation, you just want separation?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 12:11 PM) I spent the night before my wedding with my fiance and brother at a Batman-themed drag show in San Juan, everyone else was jealous we didn't wake them to go! Well, anything Batman is amazing.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 11:38 AM) A common line when people were participating in white flight was "I don't care if they work with me or can go anywhere, I just don't want to live next to em (black people)". Was that racist? I don't get how J4L could read this post and not realize how ridiculous his "stance" is and try to work to better himself and his opinions for him and his future child who could very well wind up gay and shunned by his father.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 12:05 PM) I don't know what's hard to understand. I'm not saying that gays just jump each other's bones in front of anybody and everybody. I was just creating a scenario in which I hypothetically lived with a gay guy. I would have to expect that he would bring guys home or have a BF and do what people in relationships do. All I'm saying is I couldn't be there while this was taking place. It doesn't have to be right in front of me. That doesn't make me anti-gay. Your point is moot. You have no point is basically what you are saying. How is that scenario with gay men different from that scenario with a man and a woman? It's uncomfortable being around other PEOPLE having sex, not other MEN. This is where you must define yourself as having a problem with gay people, which you started out saying you did not.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 11:58 AM) And you're naive if you don't think 99% of fathers or future fathers don't agree with me. I just come out and say it without trying to look like a nice guy. If I came home one day and saw my 6-year old son kissing another 6-year old boy, I'd go f***ing apes***. I'm not going to try to be understanding. I'm gonna be like WTF is going on and attempt to put an end to it immediately. Anybody who disagrees, I'm going to pull a Balta, you're lying to me and yourself. First, with all of your examples, the 6 year old boy kissing another is ridiculous, and there's no telling why said 6 year old would be doing something, heck the kid could be trying to be funny. At age 6, it's very impossible to take anything from said act. There are so many more important things in my future fatherhood for me to worry about, that if my future son told me he was gay I sincerely doubt I'd be disappointed. The fact that he shared that information with me would actually simply be indisputable proof that I did a great job raising him.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 11:50 AM) And me not wanting to be anywhere near a situation where gay sex was taking place is not me being a bigot. The fact that you think gay men want to have sex near you, or even think that's a valid or reasonable scenario, just shows that your view of gay men is ridiculous. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 12, 2011 -> 11:50 AM) If I go to a video store and rent a Jenna Jameson porn, get to my crib to pop it in and turns out they accidentally gave me gay porn? You think I'm going to sit and watch? I'm takin' that s*** back ASAP and demand free videos for a month. That's what I'd equate it to. Same thing. If that's what you want to do? Fine. I'm not sticking around. That's all I'm saying. Everyone is dumber for having read that.
