@Acid. None taken.

Anyway, on the mercry compund. Let's make a comparison. Sodium is a metal explosive in contact with water and Chlorine is a toxic gas that is also highly flammable. Their compound "Sodium Chloride" is a treacherous substance that can be found in almost every household, and sea water has ALARMING levels of it. Animal tests with slugs have shown Sodium Chloride to be highly lethal. Yet, the US, Germany, China, India and Canada produce it by TONNES, for various purposes all of which we might not even know of.

Those of you who passed high school chemistry might be smirking now.

Those of you who don't, are probably forwarding the above text to everyone in your email contacts.

Besides, the H1N1 shot is for cowards, old people, and stupid people, essentially all the same thing really.

Or you know, chronic illness such as ashtma, which might cause a bad reaction to the flu.

Like I do. I'm getting the shot tomorrow, if all goes well.

Bullshit

An opposite version of a thread someone posted earlier? How original.

And why do we need to lower YOUR self confidence, I mean why should we bother? You're completely meaningless as is,, nad I have better things to do on my online browsing time than to insult some halfwit attention whore who can't even think of an original idea for a topic. Do us a favor and go sit on a landmine, wanker.

how's that?

I swear it's all drama with us queers.

But on the topic of trangderism, I admit I'm not very good with that, I struggle to refer people with the right pronouns (but since it's online it doesn't look out of form), Finnish doesn't have gendered pronouns, so I'm a bit over-correct when it comes to English. I don't know why I'm so retarded about it; it's just a letter added or ommited. She's a he and he's a she, it's not hard to type.

Also, I don't think my slight shemale fetishism is entirely politically correct :o

I remember when Advice Dog was in its larval stage on /mu/, before spreading to /b/ where they added text, and then mutated it further.

I hated advice dog. I like Pokedads, Courage Wolf, Philosoraptor and Bachelor Frog (oh god why do so many of them aply to me ;_;)

Heh, reminds me of this one time I walked past a bunch of guys on the street. I don't know what it was; my jeans' cut, my way of walking, the concealing form of the jacket or something, but one of them ran after me and pinched my ass, and went pale from shock when I turned around and he realised I was a guy.

In hindsight, I was a bit flattered.

Ironic for someone who doesn't understand the consept of irony.

Also, I'm not an anarchist, but I do share some of the ideals, so I can answer that. People are not evil, the system they live in just rewards bad behaviour (overcompetetiveness, opression, hate). People generally* strive for good, and what they perscieve as the collective good. They just do it in the framework of the system they exist in. If someone lives in a capitalist system, they might believe that trickle down is the best for everyone in the long run.

*with the exception of sociopaths.

Abiogenesis != Evolution.

Evolution has been proven to happen, on micro and macro level. Right, the scientists can't yet prove how life started. There are theories and hypothesis, but they are not, note not a part of the theory of evolution.

Anyway, you are right in that some amount of regulation is needed. But most left wing anarchist ideals are based on downsizing all that industry and living a more natural way of life, and outside mass productuion, mass mistakes don't happen as easily.

Not all scientific advances are something that have direct practical applications. 90% of all science is done in the library.

Well, no. The idea of the GLBTETC. thing is to be an umbrella movement to those whose dissasociation from society comes from their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Well, I've been meaning to complain about the name, it's a bit exclusive. But I'm sure this has been brought up before.

Of course, there are some GLB groups that exclude transgenders, and there's been some bickering over that.

England.

Wait, is Gamer trans/intergender?

Because that would explain a lot. Most T's I know get reallly defensive and agressive fast. I kinda understand why, but when they get really pissy over nothing, it's just kinda hard to bear with.

That does sound pretty hreat. I wish there was some activity here, but the local GLBT group -- which was the first in FInland -- is these days inactive. I'd love to start some activity at the uni (ecause, hey, university), but I don't really know if there's any GLBT people there (I know one, but he's with the conservative party). I just don't really have the courage to amke too much of a spectacle of myself either, so putting up flyers or such is not entirely a good idea.

We need some serious queertastic hugging over here.

This is always a good idea.

Ih, no. Buddha is generally regarded to be a genuine historical fugure. It's just that there's little data seeing he lived around 500 BC.

And he really did give up his earthly posessions. Some Buddhists sect embrace this idea, others (like the Tibetan branch) don't.

Religonns aren't that much about money, as they are about power, though. All/any religions can be used as a justification for realpolitik.

Anyway, on religion. I'm an atheist, and I can't see how religions that condemn homosexuality can co-exists with the reality of people of different orientations; not to mention all the science that contradicts the religions' metaphysics.

I've never heards anyone argue that. Meanwhile, I see a lot "Lol dude got lucky" with female teacher cases.

No.

Look it up on Wikipedia first

I don't know why I've refrained from posting here; might have been a bad first impression or something, but I figured that to hell with it. I'm, if a bit inactive, an NG regular, and bisexual, and I think it's important for people in the GLBTQ (etc.) spectrum to unite.

On my sexuality, I first relised it in my teens. At the time, there was a lot of talk about metrosexuality and "rendy faux-bisexuals", so I kept to myself. I've never really considered myself a dedicated follower of fashion, I was just a bit awkward nerdy guy. I also thought that it wasn't that big a deal in modern society, anyway.

A few years later, I started realizing that yes, actually it's a bit of a big deal; I'm not what society wants me to be. SInce then, I've become more aware, and slightly more militant as well. I have a background in leftist activism and I don't believe in just lieing back and waiting for society to fix itself. Despite my activism, i don't really place that much importance on gay marriage. Sure, it has its pperks, but why should we imitate the heteronormative culture that way, and the GLBT groups direct too much of their resources to fight foor the right to marry ignoring other battles.

One of my most important experiences was reading Khaos Komix (despite the silly name, a pretty great comic) and meeting the multitude of people on the forum.

I've also went through the oblligatory identity crises; am I just straight and fooling myself? Am I gay and just fooling myself? Could I be transgender? But no, while I haven't still gained complete confidence over it, I'm sure that I'm bisexual, with a shifting preferance (as of late more into men), and I hate having to be double-ashamed about it; once from the heteronormative culture from being different, and then from the gay community for not being "all the way", or worse "trendy".
