Too bad. Too bad that so many people unraveled at the seams when he posted trivial arguments against homosexuality. Why the insecurity? First of all, considering how widely read net.motss is, there are very few creeps. So, don't waste energy stewing over hate mail like Plunkett's latest. If someone farts in public, do you think about the bad smell for days and days? What do people mean when they say that homosexuality is unnatural? Do they mean it is a recent fad like Punk Rock? No, it is as old as mankind. Do they mean it has always been detested? No, some societies were quite casual about it. I think what they really mean is "I don't want anyone to be that different from me." Are people homosexual just because they want to be? I have rarely met anyone who claimed such. The first time I fell in love, it was with another boy. I didn't decide to do that for kicks. It tore me apart inside, just like it does when a boy falls in love with a girl. So, why shouldn't I love another guy? Why isn't it my right? Because it offends people who will never see us make love? It is really frightening to see how meaningless the word Freedom is to some people. If there is one single answer to all the objections I have seen on net.motss it is, MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUSINESS! Keep him away from water, Keep him out of the light, And never, never feed him after midnight, "Lance"
