very true

but also - USA wedding seem a little different to the Uk ones from how your describe it :shock:

Oh that's true for sure.

Here.... We do things a bit different.

Although you guys did have a year's lead up to the royal wedding... Daily updates where they showed everything..

If a prince and princess can do it... So can a bunch of queens.

believe it or not, the royal wedding was way more hyped in australia and the states than it was here. I honestly dont think anyone could really care less here, and we lost a days work as a result of it. My parents were in new york the week before and they were stunned at how big it was there bearing in mind it was pretty calm here at that stage.

PofD is an extremely angry person. I don't claim to understand being gay, as I know nothing about it, but I do understand anger. Anger is the equivalent of holding a grudge against the world-it will rarely hurt anyone but you. A bit of advice from someone who's too old to care and too young to be cared for: you wouldn't care so much about what people think of you if you realized how infrequently they did. Your reality is what you decide it to be; it can be fear or it can be love. You're trending dangerously towards fear. It will not work out well, trust me.

So Pandora isn't the only one who lives in the Care Bear universe where you can change the world with beams of love and understanding and flowers shot out of your solar plexus.

In the real world, those people who I frequently think about me only do it when voting or making laws.

So sorry if that cramps your style.

You cannot have Bliss unless you understand the hardest obstacles of the Blissful path, whether or not youre shooting lotus flowers from your butt or not.

Ugh, did you take a course in creative whining or something?

When those Jesus losers come to my door I tell them to go f*ck themselves, slam the door and then yell "Release the Hounds" so they can hear me through the door.

You don't see me banging on people's doors and invading their private spaces, trying to shove my delusions down their throats. You also don't see me spending tens of millions of dollars to take away their rights.

Being "kind" and "gentle" to Mormons banging on your door makes them feel like they're welcome... like they can come back. And they're not. And they can't. I want Mormons to be afraid to leave their own houses.

but how about you post your address here and we'll make sure they come visit you every day? OK?

ok./

Ugh, did you take a course in creative whining or something?....really ? coming from you thats an odd statement...and then to read the rest of your post and other post's you've made...maybe your friends are onto something when they said they don't want you around their chilren.. ease up bro the world aint as bad as you think, your attack on Pandi was unwarrented and just plain mean, if you are angry with yourself or someone else don't take it out on someone who has shown the train love and respect in just about every post she does..com'on man.

It is extremely rude and arrogant to come to my door, as a couple of 18 year olds, out on their first trip out into the world, in short sleeved shirts with ties, no less, and tell me my world view is wrong. WTF!

That being said the best way to handle it is just to put a small "no solciting" sign on your door or to say no thank you and close the door when they come a knocking. That's all you have to do.

These people are no different than anyone else trying to sell you something, the message is irrelevant. if a person representing Save The Whales trying to spread the word about the atrocities in the pacific with pictures of dead whales, would you tell them to fuck off? I doubt it. You'd politely say "no thanks" and be done with it.

they truly believe they are doing something good and pure by trying to educate you on something they think you might be missing in your life. they wouldn't keep doing it if it didn't work.

telling them to fuck off for no reason just validates their position.

I personally hate people coming to my door trying to sell me something, but whatever. Chill out, folks. Don't answer the fucking door. Or answer it naked.

I like the reasoning in this post.

And before continuing, I will make the disclaimer that aside from meeting some of the nicest Hare Krishna's at LAX when I was a kid, I don't recall folks coming to our door for any kind of solicitation - religious or otherwise. It might piss me off, I might be cool with it...I don't know, haven't been there.

I have, however, have been on the receiving end of prejudice, both outright and sneaky. While my father was German and my appearance reflects that, my mother is from Iran. You wouldn't believe some of the shit I've heard about Persians - with an elbow-to-the-ribs "heh" from those who think I'm with them.

So Prince, I have to say this, with respect to your experiences as well as anyone/everyone else's here.

I was born and have lived in West Hollywood my whole life. Exposure to many cultures, beliefs, and sexualities. Never had any kind of fairy-tale wedding dreams and in fact we are hoping to have a low-key ceremony-by-Elvis in Las Vegas later this year (if low-key is even possible in that realm). We might even do a drive-through

You've made several comments about "straights" and big tacky weddings and I think that's a bit unfair and dismissive. There are assholes and "look at me!"'s in every group, every community. Most of us wouldn't make such sweeping comments about those who are gay. I wish you could/would do the same.

Actually most of them spread hate...my mother in law is big time bible thumper who's church she belongs to is vehemently opposed to same sex marriage. I asked her who they were "hurting", I told her it was their "business", her response "the bible says its wrong", my response was "think for yourself". Sorry that ain't love that's hate...and most religions believe that starting with one of the largest...the Catholic Church.

Maybe your mother-in-law is upset you turned her son gay....

Just "thinking for myself".

Well of course I have, and it's always with a ton of irony. I figured most people got that. I mean, read my post script on that entry where I posted "[looks closer] oh wait..."

It was to drive home the "I'm only kidding, but I DO kinda have a point" part.

I don't ACTUALLY think that all straight weddings are like that just like I don't think that the handful of garden variety freaks at the gay pride parade in weho represent the whole community. That's kinda my pont with that.

My reference to big tacky weddings was a sort of "I know you are but what am I" response to put the person I was responding to on defense.

If I have to be compared to the guys who run around in dog collars and fairy wings at pride parades, then he must be lumped in with that big tacky wedding display. Right?

you don't judge the whole Irish community based on a few drunkards at the st. Patrick's Day parade. Or... Do you?

Life is too short to be so angry.

SweetChildofMine

Agreed.

I tend to leave people in this state of anger and fear in the dust. Im willing giving them a chance to see the err of their ways in this contant droll type of thinking (which can happen even in the most people even those acting positive to the point of irritation) but when its starts to be a constant burden & see no change.... time to let it drop and run. Anyway.



Which brings me to this thought, most happy people can change their life script. You just have to recognize if same people are running the same old BS into your life or not. BTW their are a lot of f'ers out there who will interfere with your life.

To be fair, I'm usually a very happy person. But when it comes to topics like this, my blood boils.

If the government was threatening to separate your family, would you just say "oh we'll... Don't worry, be happy?"

I did read your post-script (actually mentioned it in another thread), but that would sort of be like me making frequent angry derrogatory comments about a group - any group - followed by "well, I don't REALLY believe this, just trying to make a point".

And I think most reasonable people wouldn't judge an entire group - whether yours, mine, ours, theirs - by the actions of a few. (and for the record, I have no problem with dog collars or other accoutrements)

You strike me as an intelligent, well-spoken and fairly-reasonable man. It just sucks when the path of constructive conversation is stymied by certain comments.

As to your last question...my guy's a non-drinking Irish-German...so there ya go
