That is not semantics, as homosexuality is an aberration from the norm. Just
because something is not "normal" does not make it bad. Rather surprising
that you all seem to think so, as otherwise you would not have interpreted
my comments in this fashion.

Ah well, cést la vie.

Depends on how one defines "the norm". The evidence suggests rather
strongly that a fairly high percentage of people in virtually all cultures
have engaged in same sex relations pretty much throughout
history......roughly the same fraction of the population as is left-handed
according to some estimates. Does being left-handed qualify as deviating
from the norm? Is it aberrant? Sinister? Loaded terms, wot? :)

Just because something is not "normal" does not make it bad. Rather
surprising that you all seem to think so, as otherwise you would not have
interpreted my comments in this fashion.


Doesn't seem to me that we all seem to think so. Why don't you try to
explain you're position in terms that are free of well recognized negative
connotations and see how it flies?

Ah well, cést la vie.


Indeed.

No point in further discussion, as you apparently have my character pegged.
Good for you.

Was a mistake to get into this discussion at all, it always is.

Damn straight Connor. Even our President and half the Cabinet is swishy in
kind of a cowboy from Yale way. And, Yeah well you haven't seen nuthing till
you see them gay possum going the Hershey Highway on the Blue Ridge or them
lesbo Elk going at it lickity split in Montana. Its all perfectly normal
here in the USA, in many parts of France, and of course in all the English
public schools. Perfectly normal. Yes indeedy. And in LA you can have your
belly button removed and that's perfectly normal too.

Still, as a fellow academic, I think you can hardly help but admire
dedication in research. I mean, to be sure, determining that particular
gown doesn't flatter one is but the work of a moment but, what with ever
changing styles, the certainty that one doesn't look good in dresses at all
is the loving labor of a lifetime.

Wolfgang
who, ever the realist, has never so much as dared to hope for the sort of
funding a long term lease on a private fitting room must require.

Perhaps a longer cut would help. I think we would all admit that a very
short hemline looks most fetching on the young and the fit; but, past a
certain age, one should be very wary of showing one's ass in public.

If that's the reasoning, then the hemline would need to be lengthened every
passing year.

True enough. Comes a time in the life of every diva when the affront of
having her ass pinched is overtaken by that of not. Davie, alas, is
evidently not the winsome lass he once was. Ah well, ya win some, ya lose

Aberration:
(1) Deviation from what is usual, normal, or right.
(2) Mental unsoundness or disorder.
(3) a disturbance of the rays of a light such that they can no longer be
brought to a sharp focus or form a clear image.

Mm hmmmm......yes.....I see.

And how then does one assess the value of a message that leaves one knowing
almost as much after reading it as before?

Flyfishing. No actually Kev a "short hemline on the young and fit" allows
you to look up their skirts when they are seated in the front rows but I
doubt seriously that they would consent to fetching. And saying what you
think is one of the great pleasures of growing old, as is self employment or
having no employer whatsoever to coddle. You should be so lucky one day.
