but a lot of normal Americans have realized that gay people exist and aren’t actually different from heterosexuals.

I feel dirty for starring that.

Chances are that it’ll happen again and again... After about 3 times, isn’t it just the same shit different bowl?

Not trying to be mean but you sound like a stringer. Tell the guy you have serious reservations and marriage talk is off the table.

He has a chapter on identifying “stringers”

How do you feel about pagans?

My friend’s boyfriend took a part time job as a mover to pay for ski trips after joining a frat. He was from an impoverished family.

Just fyi, I do believe that claiming to speak on God’s behalf is itself blasphemy. And Sodom and Gemorrah were destroyed for their selfish inhospitality to travelers/strangers, which was a huge no-no for desert cultures. Perhaps you might want to read the Bible more carefully, or at least with a less prejudiced eye?

On the other hand, greek organizations encourage alot of stupid behavior, underage drinking

Again, not my experience. I have fellow gay male friends who also were in fraternities, and met several more such guys, and all have been reasonably happy, well-adjusted men.

I as a heterosexual man don’t consider my sexuality part of my identity.

I don’t agree with homosexuality

There were definitely examples of that in the Bible but the form of slavery that is often discussed as culturally acceptable at the time (not Biblically acceptable) was a voluntary slavery that a person would enter into to pay off debts.

And my gay male friends say similar things about hazing that went on in their frats. Lots of drinking was involved of course, and lots of not-quite consensual sex, but it could indeed be said that “hazing is the gayest shit ever.”

Even at its most innocuous (some frats are pretty innocent) a frat is still a social retardant.

All good candidates...but at the same time I’m hoping we can do some fishing outside of the Senate pool as well. Any good Governors out there, perhaps?

I think these pageants are ridiculous in many different ways. But unless I’m mistaken the OP was going far beyond those.

I love your whole comment, and it only got better and better. My favorite standalone remark was:

I also wondered why he typed “Robin” four times in a row

My ex-partner, who is a flight attendant, got our 3 cats when we broke up. Later when he and his new partner wound up moving from the East coast to the West one, they *drove* for 5 days rather than to risk flying with the cats.
