how does that make me jewish???don't get that. just because youve got gay friends doesn't mean you can't be homophobic. and by your comment about if you want to live like that, then it just shows how ignorant you really are.

and it's not a personal opinion when you say things like that. its obvious you were annoyed at raymond's comment about geeks and couldnt think of a witty or intelligent reply so you decided to go in with an aids comment, the easiest way to attack someone. it's pathetic

Do I have to seperate the two of you???

Waff - your comment was out of order. Whether you realise it or not, what you said what homophobic. I'm not going to waste my time or yours trying to make you see how it was wrong, just accept the fact that you made a cock-up and leave it there.

Scott - not everyone is as sensitive to homophobia as you obviously are. You cannot go through life attacking everyone who says something you don't like. That's life - deal with it.

Now please, let's not start bickering like a bunch of schoolgirls.

it's like a children's playground here. ha ha.
Maybe Scott is a tad Out of order for his comments none more so than saying people into atoms are pricks and should drown ha ha.
I'm not homophobic I love my house.

Anyway. i like atoms and although I like punk and skinhead gigs and the odd football skirmish you can always have a worry free and fun filled night in the bars and clubs of Compton st/ berwick/ Soho etc.
As for there being more girls cause blokes are gay, alas, most girls I know wish their men were more like the gay blokes they know ha.

Anyway children, stand against the naughty wall.

I really like Electrons

So they say.

Funny the way science catches up with mysticism eventually.

Are the Mystics creating the science to amuse the scientists and quench their thirst for material understanding of vanishing thoughts

Technically thats incorrect, they exist reguardless, they're just smaller then an atom and not many scientist know what they are, but the way to think of them is like such.

Imagine the actually Atom, as a sun in a solar system, and the electrons are the planets, depending on the number of electrons, depends on weither or not the Atom is Positivly charged or Negativly charged, i'm lead to belive that an odd number of electrons 1,3,5,7 etc are Neg charged, and the Even numbers 2,4,6,8 etc are Positive.

How so?

Yes I admit my comments are sometimes 'barbed' but usually they are towards specific people over specific issues.

Saying (or hinting) that all gay people are going to die horribly of AIDS/HIV is pure homophobia, and that's what Waff was hinting at.

I'm not saying it's right or wrong. I wouldn't want to contribute to the stopping of free speech - especially on this forum.

Personally, homophobia doesn't bother me. Whenever I have it aimed at me I always give better than I get. And usually whenever a person resorts to homophobic attack they are normally quite easy to bring down because the very act of homophobia is a clear indication as to their level of intelligence.

However, I don't believe Waff is homophobic and I don't think he wrote the comment to be intentionally rude. I think the comment was made in jest with little or no thought to the outcome.

A lot of gay men (like Scott) are very sensitive to homophobia and take it to heart whenever they hear it.
I've spoken to Scott about this little episode and explained to him how we do things here. I don't think Scott has been exposed to much homophobia in his life so he does react rather strongly when he finds it, but I'm sure he can speak for himself.

So, I put a 'smiley' up of what looks like a couple of schoolgirls. At the time I thought it was funny.

I'd agree with you a joke about AIDS is not a joke... in my mind.. however you are the man you says just what you want when you want.. that was the point I was making :)

Not really, it's probally due to the fact you don't understand it fully, cos your just not that interested in how things are created and what binds them together, i've been studying this desolate waste land of pointless ponderings for 7/8 years, and i still don't get it, i mean, how on Earth they managed to actually see the particles that no measurement can be placed on, is beyond me, but still, great material if you ever want to destroy a party

Yes that's true but you have to have some sensitivities.

For example, if I were on a forum having a conversation with some Jewish people, I'm hardly going to start making flippant comments about the holocaust am I?

I'm not that insensitive.
