How about people who only have cell phones?  Do they have landlineaphobia?

Also, people who are angry at conservatives, do they have conservaphobia?

So, you are saying there is no such thing as "errorphobia", where people can fear errors?

No. But if lots of people start using that term to describe someone who dislikes Microsoft, it will eventually make the dictionary.

Ummm, you are aware that there's no way someone like you could possibly win a 'argument of ideeas', simply because you're ideeas are bad. Your whole rejection of the homophobe label is simply you not liking the fact your viewsare labeled as hateful. And no, gays do not have 'the exact same rights' as straight people (at least not in your country), and you certainly can enjoy privileges that gay people can. Of course, I'm not surprised that a person like you would fabricate such fictions.

no, i could really not care less about someone like you labeling me a homophobe. it just shows you cant win an argument, basically it shows concession.

and anyway, would you care to tell me in my country what "rights" I enjoy that gay people dont.

i would really like to know what "rights" i have that other citizens of this country dont

Do you even know what concession means? And you're labeled a homophobe because you are one, because it's the primary motivation of your arguments, which makes them weak arguments that ultimately fail. And then you try to play victim, because you're upset no one listens to your nonsense.

As for the rights question, it's such a patronizing and vile question, I won't even dignify it with an answer. You know very well what rights I'm talking about.

Well the Fox interviewer was a pandering idiot. He just asked patsy questions of the guy so he could say his stuff. There was not real calling him to task on any of his opinions.

I mean in the same breath they are both criticising the game designers, who freedom of speech laws allows them to push whatever agenda they like, except you know maybe paedophilia and bestiality I guess, and then totally letting the parents off the hook by saying "Well the parents have no idea about the content of the games they are letting their kids play."

Well Shit! I didn't know game designers were meant to take over the role of parents by censoring themselves into banality so that parents can remain oblivious and uninvolved in what their kids plug themselves into on the internets and consoles. This radio jock who happens to be a parent is saying he wants to absolve himself of parental responsibility and force content control into the hands of game developers.

And his parting shot is that games are boring? OK, well if they are boring then the kids ain't gonna play them so what the hell is he complaining about?

And Fox is to blame for allowing that twisted message to be sent out to its millions of viewers, and giving air time to any hypocritical wing nut with a strong opinion.

And for the record, I'm a pinko socialist greeny who supports nuclear energy as part of our global energy solution. So I agree that some enviro-games are rather off base in the specifics of the message their pushing. But I don't give a crap because, y'know, I talk to my kids about the important issues and don't leave it up to games to educate my kids about the major social challenges of our time. I make it my business to know what entertainments my kids are watching/listening to/playing. And if they get warped ideas about the world from games I straighten them out with rational argumentation not bitchin' and moanin' about the evils of ideologially driven game developers.

Betcha this guy will be on the radio the next day preachin' the virtues of the free market and for govt to get out of the face of business.

so in other words, you have no argument, and you cant think of any "rights" that i have that gays dont.

good job



It did take forever for gays to be able to join the military without concealing the fact. Also, I sometimes wonder why many of the republicans want to waste their time making an anti-gay marriage amendment. Seems kind of stupid to me.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
