AIDS at 25 -- I want to yell and punch somebody
I really must stop reading Free Republic. It's this morbid fascination thing and it's screwing up my serenity.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1683973/posts

But the article in Reason is not bad at all.

1. You must be a masochist or something to be going over there.
I know, it's like "The Kramer." Deeply disturbing, but you cannot look away.

2. God Almighty
why would you go there? It's about as appetizing as rolling in dead rotten fish. Those people are filth. Stupid ignorant intolerant filth.

3. I should never have gone...
...to *that* site you listed. There is so much ignorance and misinformation posted in that one thread.

Seems like not one poster is even aware of what's happening in Africa, and that this has absolutely NOTHING to do with *homersexuality*. The pic of Homer in the kilt was the best post in that thread!

4. I love the recurring theme in the Freeper thread:
"How do you know it is not?" referring to the notion that AIDS is God's punishment for homosexuality.

Typical knuckledragger mentality: if a concept fits your preconceived notions, it must be true, even if no supporting evidence exists or it makes no sense.

5. Take my advice. Don't go over to FR anymore.
I've tried reading some of their tripe before, but it always left me frustrated and depressed. There is absolutely nothing positive that can come from you reading their comments, IMHO.

Consider that they have an entire forum devoted to the "homosexual agenda" (whatever that is). It's really a nice little echo chamber they have where they can make snide remarks against gay people and entertain each other with their shared bigotry and ignorance. They can do so without fear of having their ignorant views challenged so they can perpetuate their homophobic stereotypes.

But then again, that's probably the entire site, not just that one forum!

Seriously, don't waste your time looking over there. It will just make you upset.

And you're right, the Reason article is decent. Thank you for posting it.

:)

9. oh yeah, and most of them hiding behind "god"
as if a heartless asshole of a god like that would be worth breaking wind at, much less quivering in fear of. Oh yeah, fear. I forgot what flows in their veins over there, night and day, quivering, self-pissing idiots.

It's all about power, sin, fear, retribution, punishment, and judgement, and none of it tethered to any form of reality. What a great bunch of crazy fuck-ass character flaws to have rolled up all into one flabby pile of piss poor protoplasm with a logon at freeperugly.com - and they can all stay there; it's the only place in this world where they are truly safe from evil gay married terrist commando liberal homosexuals who would as soon drop kick their asses into retrograde declining orbit as spit at them.

all better now, my pupils are no longer reptilian slits. Should not have looked at that crap. Bed wetting phimotic pissants.

:nuke:

10. Ah Sui
I just love your word smithing.

They all seem inordinately fascinated with anal sex. What is with that anyway?

6. Last Sunday (8/13) would have been my brother's 48th birthday ...
I won't dishonor his memory by giving pieces of bigoted shit like those people the time of day.

13. It's wanting to see how bad they are ...
... without taking someone else's word for it.

But I'll try to give it a rest.

14. About a year ago I was a visitor to that site for a bit ...
ostensibly to 'keep your friends close, but your enemies closer' sort of thing. However, after about a week, I started to think that everything bad was the fag's fault - until I remembered I was one. Just a bit of humor.

:dunce:
