gregure....bite me. and you choose the body part. perhaps i should've hired an editor for my posts if some came off the wrong way. what i truely tried to convey was the fact that **** tendencies are pretty much fine with me. live and let live. it's the marriage part i just don't care for. re-read my posts. when finished, go ahead and bite me.

To clarify, I'm not in any way offended or feel that anyone's made personal attacks towards me.

I'm just clarifying myself with regard to things that have been posted.....I'm all for this being talked out, because the more people DON'T talk it out, the more likely that it is with people to be acted it out instead......

I did not know the hills were ****... could that explain the damn music?

Willow · December 2005

I'll watch the movie, when it comes on DVD, but that's because I won't go to the movies.

I can't believe the direction this has taken and some of the comments made.

Sorry DB, but I think it was pretty clearly defined that Brett was the main defender of the issue. Perhaps you took a nap when reading the previous posts?

I'm sure that the forum knows that I will state my opinion regardless of the member, beings I've even attacked close friends on certain issues.

My comments stand and I have no worries or reservations.

The animal was let loose a long time before I crawled into the picture.

C'mon Mark, I've read each and every post and clearly understand where everyone is coming from. That was a cheap shot saying perhaps I was napping when reading the previous posts. Grow up.

I have more at stake in this topic than you and most others. I just know that this isn't going to be solved in the next 24 hours. Like Mac said way back, he may not agree with the **** lifestyle.. but that doesn't mean he's homophobic. I think that needs to be cleared up.

I know Brett has been the main defender on **** rights and issues.. I support what he's doing. We all have our level of support and comfort zones. I know that if I put myself out there on certain topics i'll be shunned by some people who don't agree with my stance. That always leads to people jumping on the bandwagon and turning against people. Things turn ugly usually down the road when that happens.

It's a good thing to be discussing **** issues and how they affect the general public. Like i've said before.. the more we discuss topics like this, the better people we all become.

I like to see what I've seen here.
Debate.

Yeah the thread took a turn away from audio but so have many I have read and participated in in the past.

This is a good place (a forum) to learn about the opnions of people around the country and even farther.

I do not know any **** people, (except my closet uncle) and I never hear their side.

I will refrain from reiterating my opnion but I will say that it is interesting to hear the discussion from both sides.

I agree, bravo!!

I'll say one thing, my back feels broke. These last few days my lower back has been killing me. The pain radiates all the way around to the front making my whole hip area hurt. Advil works but I hate taking that stuff. Back pain can really put one on edge.

do you live atop a mountain?

Ron-P · December 2005

Nope, I'm only 25' above sea level.

BIZILL · December 2005

scoliosis?

Skynut · December 2005

Spaceman spiff, the doctor can prescribe a spaceman spliff for your back pain.

madmax · December 2005

I can't think of a single reason why I would want to see a movie with **** cowboys. To me it just doesn't make sense.

madmax

BIZILL · December 2005

seems like premise for a segue into some ****?

Ron-P · December 2005

scoliosis?

No, I think it's do too to much sitting. Between my desk job, long commute and a new company Chevy P/U truck (that bounces like a bull), my back isn't taking it. I'm going to swing by Home Depot and pick up a couple 90lb bags of concrete to throw in the bed to help soften the bounce.

I have back problems and they always tell me sitting is not normal for the human body ( for the lengths we do )

Yea, if they were good looking.

That's how they came up with those funky desk chairs where you kneel more than sit...

Back was fine --- knees hurt like hell.

On the thread...
I commented early on about this looking like a discussion, it has. No way this thread was anything but HOS bound, if it occurred two years ago.

Every night I go for a 1.5 to 2 mile walk and during that time my back does not hurt but once I go and sit, it starts hurting again. So, your comment does hold some truth.

BIZILL · December 2005

i blame my back on two things. waterbed and expanding stomach.

Ron-P · December 2005

Gotta like that second one Bizill. That is one reason why I walk. With the amount of high-calorie mico brews I drink if I didn't walk I be rolling around instead.

BIZILL · December 2005

i work out, but that mid-section is the hardest to keep fit. and on the movie note, i'll prolly watch it if ya'll give it good reviews. i shall trust polk audio members' judgement.

Right don't know which is more painful :eek:

Tour2ma · December 2005

It's true... We must have gotten a dozen of them and within a few weeks all were pushed aside except for one guy who had had a couple back surguries...

They were torture...

BIZILL · December 2005

i've tried one of those chairs at a buddy's house. purely horrific.

Don't take this wrong but I will not be seeing any movie that I know is meant to promote **** lifestyles.

This movie is not out to convert any straight people.......it's a story. This is no more about recruiting people than a war movie is aimed at making you join up.

I'd still like to know what the general consensus is on what people are afraid that **** marriage would be taking away from marriage today.

Skynut · December 2005

What about Jarhead?
Ferenheight 911?
Rocky horror picture show?

Movies do have an affect on their viewers. They may not be intentional but in this case I believe it is.
This is a tool to help desensitize anyone who sees it.
This is how I see it.
Don't take this wrong I have nothing against you or any other alternate lifestyle people I just want to limit my children's exposure to it.
When there is alot of publisity for this type of movie they are going to see it and maybe ask questions about it. This puts me on the spot to answer questions about something I think is wrong.
I am not homophobic nor do I ever try to cause problems or make anyone feel uncomfortable.
