....unless they're, y'know, gay and living in the YSM (Yoonaad'd States of
Mairca).

Homosexuality does not serve as an acceptable excuse for being the
target of hatred ;)

Are ya sure? A lot of voters seem to hold the opposite view.

Well, then, maybe derision???

The fellow who started this thread also posted it on the rec.autos.vw
newsgroup, to which I subscribe because my wife drives a New Beetle. He (or
she) posted it at the same time it was posted on this newsgroup, and there
have been no replies.

I wonder why? Are Ford owners more politically opinionated than Volkswagen
drivers? I remember all the hippies who used to (some still do) drive VW
microbuses. They had some interesting politics, which they could eloquently
describe when they weren't high. Ah, those were the days....

I'm quite sure. However, most don't like activists on either end.

That's up to you. I can write derisive hatred very well. I choose not
to, because I don't think it's deserved, warranted, or appropriate.

I will never understand it, but I know it's not a question of some "vile
lifestyle choice". Believe me, the gay friends I've had all said "it
would have been much easier to grow up, and know you were straight".
Want to throw an insult at me? Well, I grew up (ironic term) in a more
heterogeneous culture than a lot of people. I knew people from many
different walks of life, and had friends from many of them.

Derision of gays is like derision of blacks. I don't believe in either
one. Anyone who believes otherwise, why, they're just plain IGNURNT, in
my estimation. Be derisive if you will; it's not up to me... I don't
really care. Getting in the way of that is not something I have time for.

Maybe it's because you're making simplistic, broad-brushed attributions
based on half-assed conjecture instead of anything substantial. Or
maybe you're right, those who drive "peopleskars" are just more erudite,
intelligent, and naturally more tolerant of humanity.

Those "people", by the way, didn't include gays. Or blacks, Jews,
gypsys, etc. etc. They were to be gassed, burned or shot. Those
"people" included nazis, their subjects, and their sympathizers, only.

So what's your point again? You smoked too much pot back in the day to
make any sense now?

I am recalling a program I saw on cable of a search into why an individual
is gay. An individual, seeking to understand why someone is gay, asked a
gay person: "Why are you gay?" The gay person looked him straight in the
eye and asked: "Why are you straight?"

Actually, many of them waxed poetic far better when they were high....
LOL
