Well yeah I totally agree that people should be free to do what they want. As a side issue though, I find people being self-righteous (not you) about political corectness to be just as irritating as ignorant people.

I think we're all guilty of stereotyping from time to time, even if it's on a subconscious level - yet some people feel the need to aggressively lambast some people's stereotyping and portray themselves as some totally liberal and perfect person who never makes mistakes etc. I think in general it's far better to challenge people's assumtions on an intellectual level than just insulting etc.

Well, there's being self-righteous, and then there'e pointing out sheer stupidity. If the OP had asked about the stereotyping that goes along with a tongue piercing, then fine. But he might as well as have typed "LOLZ! Tongue stud! Gayness!"

Ha ha! Having spent quite a while on this board, sadly I don't think it's inconceivable that someone would be that uneducated. In this case I don't think he believed all men who get their tongues pierced are gay, so much as 'what's the point of a straight man getting their tongue pierced?'

I dont know what the percentage of females is to males getting this done but I have known many many girls that have done it and no guys but the guys I have seen on tv and such were all homosexual. To me, its not much different than getting an earring in your right ear.

what decade is this? did i just wake up in the 1980's?

Relax, no reason to get so upset about it. Obviously I am onto something because plenty of others agree even if not on this forum. That is the one thing I cant stand about this forum is the extreme liberal people on here that start talking shit no matter what your comment about gays is. I could make a thread where I said I think alot of gay people are good people and somebody would probably start calling me a homophone or something along those lines.

i'm relaxed. should have put a smiley face, i guess, as i'm just having a laugh at your expense.

too many good lines..."why would a guy get his tongue pierced?"...well, duh...

"an ear ring in the right ear"...seriously, i don't think i've heard that one since the 80's.

"a homophone"??? even your typos make me laugh, unless you thought it was actually homophone, which would be even funnier!

I think it is a standard practice for gays to get an earring in the right ear, how many straight guys have you met with an earring in the right ear? Oops about the typo too.

How many straight guys do you know with an earring only in their right ear?

Whether this is meant as a joke or not, I can't tell...but what? I've met a lot of gay guys (before you laugh at me and call me gay, i'm not, my ex housemate was) and I never once noticed an ear ring in the right ear. If any of them had an ear ring, I probably wouldn't have made a mental note of what ear. In fact, i've never met any guy with an ear ring and paid any attention to what ear it was in, because I really don't give a shit, just like I don't give a shit if someone is gay or straight.

Generally, I don't query people on their sexuality....
At least.. not on the first date....

Earrings or any other piercing are not a good way of making judgements about people...

I don't want to defend an ignorant view, but in all honesty, where I'm from the vast majority of straight men would not have their right ear pierced (unless thye have both done). Like I said before I don't know if there is a genuine trend with gay men to have that ear pierced - but it is well known that if you have that ear pierced (where I'm from) that a lot of people would presume you were gay. There's nothing ignorant about stating this, it just is how it is. Perhaps this is just something unique to the part of the UK I'm from, who knows?

Hey, he's entitled to his views. But he's already made those views clear, and he's just digging deeper and deeper. At this point, I've gone beyond being annoyed by it, and I'm just enjoying the show.:p

Where in the UK are you from? I might have thought the same thing...when I was about 12.

This thread now irks me to the extent that I feel like gagging and vomiting all at once. I swear to god, If I die, choking on my own vomit from reading this thread I will be so fucking pissed

Not how I intend to go.

ps, no pjoasisrule, it is "not standard practice for gays to get an earring in the right ear". I can honestly say out of the 4 or 5 gay guys I know, NONE of them even have a piercing. I'm not saying no gay guys have a piercing in their right ear but you make out like it's some membership insignia or something. No one is arguing with you because they are "extreme liberals", they are arguing with you because every comment you post makes your argument a little more silly.
