[PLUG-TALK] Being plonked on plug...

Certainly individuals have stated that I'm homophobic and that I
should just leave plug for good. I've also been called mentally
ill and worse. All because I have an opinion that there are
problems at Portland State and that there are disturbing trends
in plug discourse involving profanity and general disrespect
between people. I suppose I could ignore the God this God that
tendencies of some pluggers every time their upset and I suppose
I could ignore Zot when he insults me for saying something that's
wrong even if I do put a disclaimer with it.
I'm not homophobic. I'm not going to drag a "queer" out of
a bar and abuse him. I just don't want to be around any
homosexual who is going to have a male boyfriend in public
and make it obvious that it isn't just a friendship for
both dramatic affect and ultimately political leverage.
I don't care about gay feelings used to leverage policy
considering that feelings change in most people every
five seconds and there are consequences for all actions
people take. It's a shame that people under 25 for the
most part seem stuck on feelings around here as if they
are enough to guide morality, ethics, ...
Kulongoski is the worst moral coward this state has ever
elected to governor where I'd guess that the youth, voters
under 25, are most responsible for his victory. What kind
of Catholic goes to a NARAL party and eats cake with a full
intentional media blitz? Mannix is the real Catholic out of
the two, though I wonder about his tough on crime stands.
Still, I strongly believe Mannix can do a better job with
this state than Kulongoski can.
And I haven't for the last time made everything about God.
I suppose I didn't ask about perl and get information about
Net::EasyTCP. There's more than that too, including a
question about ultra wide hard drives. There are
numerous anti religious comments on the list now, they
show how misinformed some people are about "church power"
and abuse also showing a level of angst and desire for
violence against organized religion. I've been told before
by people when showing I have religious beliefs to leave,
get lost, stop interfering with us... I honestly wonder
sometimes if some people are best left alone in the long
run. If the political environment is left to the anti
religious folks though, I bet that the discrimination
will get worse. It may not reach a point where those
who need to learn the hard way how wrong religious
discrimination is will even at the extreme of organized
religion driven underground.
The holocaust of abortion is worse than all the holocausts
of all the wars combined. This holocaust has inspired the
assault on organized religion. The lack of a statute of
limitations on sex abuse cases is wrong, justice and
vengeance are not equal. The goal of replacing organized
religion with agnosticism, communism, or atheism is neither
civil nor prudent.
For those who are angry with religion, a history note
might help. The Spanish conquistadors who conquered
Mexico were a concern of Spanish queen Isabella so she
sent someone to figure out what was really going on
hearing about enslavement of natives in the New World.
Isabella was too far away for that time period to have
any practical affect on the situation. Perhaps a
mailing list is too far away to curb religious hatred
today. Speaking out on this list appears to be dangerous,
Zot and others like him being the proof.
There are some trying to complain about this, I wish they
hadn't though from the standpoint that they are going to
get what I've been getting now. There are some decent
people on this list who I'm grateful to. Perhaps an
off plug list list for those who have shared religious
dissimilarities with Zot would be good. If I don't
use another account I've never used before and post
under an alias, I don't think my troubles on PLUG will
ever stop.
