Our prime minister here in Luxembourg is gay. Does that count - do we make a difference between female and male homosexuals?
Or the more important question: is the fact of being hetero-, bi-, homo-, or asexual of any importance in a governmental election of a "free and civilized" country? I don't care about a politicians sexual orientation as long as I agree with his political programm and actions.


oh, and btw. thanks for the happy father's day

Wow, this thread got hijacked rather quickly.

WTF? Back on track, Happy Dad's Day to all the dads out there! I wonder what my four legged little boys got me Father's Day? The wife hasn't given it to me yet.

... I'm confused by what Draugnar just said. I would explain why, but I'm too confused.

I don't have human children, steephie. We have four legged children (dogs and rabbits and lizards) so Father's Day for me is whatever the wife buys and says is from the dogs. Same thing with Mother's Day, I but Peg something and say the dog's gave it to her.

"as long as I agree with his political programm and actions"

So your politicians have to be men?

I already drew the conclusion that you meant four-legged children rather than four children who are legged. My confusion was because 1) you're getting something, since, well...
And 2) I wasn't sure wether you meant an actual gift that wasn't actually from your animals or something actually from your animals that can't really be considered an actual gift. A heap of shit for instance.

Thanks for clearing that up :)

Also, didn't know you have dogs! I'm hoping 'proper' dogs but for whatever reason I'm guessing small dogs... Did I guess right?

Also, maple, maybe the first publicly-known lesbian although even that might not be true, but I doubt the first lesbian...

And congratz fathers :)

@Draug, "he" is still a gender neutral pronoun. Blame thousands of years of sexism if you want (you probably should, what the fuck Anglo-Saxons), but don't misconstrue English that is technically correct.

And Happy Father's day!

She is the new he is gender neutral pronouns. Has been for several years.

As to dogs. We have longhair dachshunds. You can say they aren't roper dogs if you like, but you've never seem a dachshund kill before. Ain't a badger, rag on, or possum around wants to mess with these guys.

"She is the new he." People have started to use "she" more, but that doesn't make it the new "he." "He" is perfectly correct and technically moreso than "she."

Don't tell my college professors that.

Wow. Your college professors were stupid. I'm glad you turned out so well in spite of them.

Roper = proper
seem = seen
rag on = raccoon

Get a new phone, Draug. And thanks everyone for a happy father's day. Best to all of you as well.
I got breakfast in bed and an looking forward to a movie with popcorn.

Draug, you make these typing mistakes and correct them and think it's fine. When I do it, English must be my second language? Seems kind of funny. Thx again for the Father's Day wishes though.

@Draugnar
""as long as I agree with his political programm and actions"

English is not my first language, but I guess you understood what I wanted to say

... actually ... I also do not care about his or her sexual orientation if I do not agree with his or her political program and actions ;-)

@Theo - It may be the autocorrect, but the misspellings are all my arthritic thumbs. The phone is a Nokia Lumia 928. Hardly an old phone. But my arthritic thumbs miss if I go to fast on the soft touch screen keyboard.

Ssorenn, you are violating the rules of the web dip dummy accounts. You agree not to pst on the forum with that account. The mods may boot you from the game for violating the rules.

Ghug, I am talking about my professors just last fall. I returned to school to finish a bachelor's but stopped when I changed jobs as the new employer doesn't have tuition reimbursement.

Ah, in that case, be glad youdidn't take classes from them earlier.

Just spent the day in a golf outing with my Dad and daughters (and wife and Mom), and then came home to serve dinner to the in-laws...lovely day.

And now....I'm ready for them to all GO HOME...so I can just be alone with my family and enjoy The Empire Strikes Back....where dear old Luke learns of his Father.

Empire and Jedi are *great* Father's Day, especially Jedi as Father and Son reconcile in the end.

Yes. MY oldest daughter cried the first time she watched Star Wars - Jedi when Darth Vader died. She was probably about 5, and she knew the the "Dark Gator" was Luke's father and had turned good just before he died saving Luke. She's been a fan every since.

Mine is having six weeks worth of fathers days going around Brazil drinking beer and watching world cup matches :o

Enjoy. Stay safe.
