As the father of a gay daughter I object strongly to the term "gay" to refer to something undesirable. We can do better than that.

Dan, perhaps you should take that up with Keith, who seems to prefer the term when it doesn't agree with his sensibilities.
You know, like Harleys before he owned one.Last edited by Beagle; July 1, 2012, 02:13 PM.Flying south, with a flock of bird dogs.Comment

I've tried.
When you start throwing around words like "gay" or any other derogatory term, people forget that there are real, breathing people attached to them. It's hurtful and doesn't advance the human race.

Your taking one meaning of the word and focusing on it because of your own insecurities about Homosexuals......
The thing is IF I was a Homosexual I would not care if people called me gay, look at the meaning of the word, it's not like it's a bad thing........ Well unless you feel being a Homosexual is bad??......... But then that is in your mind, not mine.............
IMO the new member wasn't thinking about Gay people when he picked his name.............
And for the Record, I have no problem with Homosexuals, to each their own........Comment

So by that logic, there is no happy stuff on BangShift? Come on TC, get real.

Since you're running junior dragsters, I guess it's a safe bet you're still a youngin. I appreciate the enthusiasm you seem to have, but I would appreciate a different user name. Maybe I'm getting old, I just don't really care for that trend much.
You may be off to a bit of a shaky start, but welcome aboard Robby. Why don't you post up some pics of your cars, show us what you got?
PS: I tend to shorten user names when I respond to a post, just giving you fair warning.

you're out of bounds.
Lots of different things going on here........different strokes for
different folks.

A bit homophobic with the nick or what.
I was much worse starting off on the net 13 years ago.
Accepting that diversity gathers easy behind a keyboard is something to learn.
in life, you walk by the blue oyster masocist gay club..but on the net it could be anybody at the other end with no offense.
I have gotten in more trouble on the net after finding out some of the groups I thought were compatible had a majority not.(I am here with an old Manly subaru)
