Are you still beating your wife?

From Paul Henry to cocks, this thread has come full circle (if you'll excuse the expression).
-
o.k what is homo erotic to you? I'm not with the homoerotic crowd, I can't see it.
I could be a minority.
-
I do not what is with the posters on this site.
I have had the very good fortune to have been very personally acquainted with a lot of cunts.
Loved them all. Still do.
I just wish I had met more.
Am still looking for some.
Paul Henry is not a cunt. He is not even useful.
I am definitely not looking for Paul Henry, not even for target practice.

I do not (know) what is with the posters on this site.
Yeh,and we is having an old fashioned discussion to see what's with us. Chewing fat, spitting tobacco.

I don't buy the homoerotic line, Jeremy. That was Gio's point, and I'm not sure he wasn't teasing you for being mildly homophobic.
My take on heterosexual male appreciation of the male form is more "I want to look like him", rather than "I want to look at him". I think I can recognize male attractiveness without being gay, just as women can do it with women.
Sometimes I'm a little surprised at what women think is attractive or not, though, since I'm not really a big swat on it or anything. Just as women are often surprised by the kind of female looks that most men like. But they're usually pretty close.

Something compels me.

What compels you?

I have certain urges.

Yep, i know brother

I can't do homoerotism, you guys are too ugly.
-
No fair. Ugly people are sexy too. Sometimes sexier.
-
And, if you are aesthetically judging the guys, you kind of are doing homoeroticism ;-)
Call for Dr. Tiso...
-
Jolisa, I am a guy. I get to report back on my lack of homoeroticism to you. I'm not aesthetically judging, i don't see it.
It's 2010, new talk baby.

Depending on alcohol. Who are your ugly sexy men?

As the car sticker had it: "Drink 'til he's cute"

At least that's how it reads in the gazette. but they been wrong before.

or: John Key should be employed on a 90-day trial?
Actually, Natalie, we've been employing our legislators on three year fixed-term contracts for yonks... Wonder if anyone else would like their employment being contingent on a X-Factor style poll one Saturday. :)

Who are your ugly sexy men?
Marilyn Manson, Jack Nicholson 20 years ago, Iggy Pop, Mick Jagger, Alan Rickman, Gene Simmons...
I know, I'm a sick puppy. *shrug* -
What is most astounding about this whole thing is that a so called top award-winning 'journalist' didn't know the bio of the head of state.
But PLEASE consider - when we talk about free speech we keep speaking like we were raised under the US Constitution. Our legal model is very different.
MOST IMPORTANTLY when Americans discuss free speech they inherently mean the doctrine of prior restraint (look it up). In summary, there is no prior restraint on any speech act in the US. However, you are liable for the consequences of your speech act and that is why there is hate speech and discrimination protections for speech that is considered to have caused harm. We should get this in context. It is not speaking without any consequence.

Can there be such a thing as pure freedom?
Yes, animals have it. You may argue that this is not true but consider. You are free to do whatever you wish, as long as you are prepared to take the consequences.
Animals, being unaware of social mores, will do whatever they consider to be needed, humans, being aware of those mores, have a choice. If you feel the need to dispose of your elected, or imposed, rulers then you have that freedom. If those same leaders feel the need to dispose of you...
Ah Freedom. Such a misunderstood thing. -
