    I know a number of 'very' gay men. One of them is extremely 'in-your-face' gay, like the guy you described. He wants to offend people and put them off, because he views their reaction as some sort of asinine 'litmus test' of what kind of person they are - to wit, if they don't say anything about his behavior, or pretend not to notice it, they're 'closeted gay-bashing hypocrites,' and if they DO say something or become visibly offended, they are 'homophobic gay-bashing rednecks.' Or, to put it another way, you can't win for losing with this jerk. I guess all this is a convoluted way of saying there are assholes of every sexual orientation, and you may have run across one.

    It's on account a because there ain't no sech animal. White is a very difficult color to achieve in tattoo ink. To get a truly opaque white, you'd have to use lead oxide, which is right out for obvious reasons. White ink exists, and I've seen it on some tattoos, but it is quite transparent, more so even than other light-colored tattoo inks, and is mostly used to lighten the overlying skin tone and achieve something approximating 'pale'. Therefore, on a black person, particularly a very dark-skinned black person, white ink would at best lighten the overlying skin a few tones, and in many cases wouldn't show at all.

    in reply to: Less racism in Canada? #34740

    There was never any black slavery in Canada, however, if you think white Canadians are 'less racist' ask a Canadian Aboriginie. I think you might be a little surprised at exactly how racist they are. The 'lack of hopelessness' you see among black men in Canada may also be due to a lack of tolerance of the 'victim' mindset so prevalent among blacks of all ages and both sexes in the U.S.

    Here's a suggestion: Call the ones from Saudi Arabia 'Saudi's'. Call the ones from Iran 'Iranians.' Call the ones from Yemen 'Yemeites'. Call the ones from Jordan 'Jordanians'. Get it? Dumbass.

    'Rude' meaning 'any non-black who is trying to get past you in a store aisle'?

    I'd say it's only an 'insult' to people who are searching high and low for an excuse to be 'insulted.' But I'm cynical.

    ROFLMFAO... Women pass gas all the time, laddy. We just aren't socially conditioned to make a contest out of who can fart the loudest - just the opposite, in fact - so we tend to do it quietly.

    How charmingly naive of you to think women living in Iran or Syria or Jordan have a 'choice' as to whether or not they leave their countries. They are not viewed as people. They are not allowed to vote. They are not allowed to drive. They can be arrested and executed for leaving their homes without a male relative escorting them, much less leaving the country. How, precisely, do you propose they 'leave'?
