Sometimes it annoys me when people pull out the Nazi card, because it feels like you can't say anything that's not politically correct anymore. And I think it's even more discriminatory when people forbid you to say some black people or gay people or whatever can be morons or bad people. Because they can. Just like us. And it's okay. Let's just look at each other and see people, with minds, souls, qualities and flaws. That's all I want, for me and for everybody else. Is this too much to ask from society? But I see what you mean, and besides, homosexuals were persecuted by the Nazis, and some things that are happening atm are alarming.
I almost yelled at a friend once because we were out and he was a bit drunk and started saying he didn't like 'puffs' or whatever, and I had to tell him to stop saying these things, because it's plain wrong.
Sorry, I'm getting emotional. I've always over-reacted on that issue, because my parents have lots of gay friends, and I grew up having them around, and my godfather is gay and there are just no words to say how much I love him, and then I had gay friends of my own and I can't stand the idea that they can be looked at as if they were anything else than normal.
Good. I mean, don't get sick, but don't starve either. ;)
