We have such a thread.

As far as the 30/30 rule goes, there are numerous exceptions to that rule, and nobody is going to care if you want to post images in a thread dedicated to that purpose.

Thanks!

Am I allowed to start a new one?

I don't feel like digging through 900+ pages to find photos of my favorite members lol. :

If not, it's cool. Just wondering.

I think I sound like a dork. Like many folks, I can't stand the sound of my own voice.

Yes, that can mean two things, lol.

Well, flattered I hope.

You've been very kind to me, but some of the harsh words you've had for other members here gave me a different impression of you. I thought you'd be more mean sounding lol. You sounded really nice.

Well, I make change in the coin tendered.  I certainly prefer kindness, but I reject "turn the other cheek" as an approach to dealing with rude folks.

Also, I was out of kerosene, so fire-breathing that day was pretty much a no-go.

I really liked that avatar.  Why did you change away from such a great picture?  It was very distinctive and interesting.

Also, looking at your video was disappointing.  From your self-description, you should look like some sort of freak, but you clearly do not.  You should not lead us on and get our hopes up about such things!  I was hoping for a face that would scare children!  What a disappointment!

You should've seen him as the guy on the quaker oatmeal box. [J/K - actually some possessed priest character, but I thought he was going for quaker for the longest time.]

Just use the search function on the bottom of each page inside a thread. It will search only inside that thread. For example, a search of "bimbo" inside the member photos thread will somehow lead you to pictures of me...

Yes, I totally agree. We're not toggle-monkeys, we're all on sliders.

I don't think that is true.  I will give one example in some detail, and then some general examples.  When I was young, I was raised to be a Southern Baptist (if you have no clue about it, look at the Landover Baptist site, and you will see something that is really only slightly exaggerated).  One of the things I was told was that it was sinful and wicked to engage in homosexual actions.  I remember thinking at the time that it was a strange thing to go on about, as I had about as much interest in doing that as I had in sticking a hot poker in my eye.  So it was not a great concern to me, but I did think it odd that anyone said much about it.  Fast forward several years.  When I deconverted from Christianity, I was very angry that I had been suckered into believing such ridiculous nonsense.  I hated religion with a great passion (still do, but it is more smoldering than white-hot as it was when I first deconverted).  I wanted to do things offensive to religious sensibilities.  It occurred to me that engaging in homosexual behavior would achieve the desired result.  But it just was not something I wanted to do.  If sticking a hot poker in my eye was offensive to Christianity, I would not have done that either.  But I did want to piss on Christianity.

One of the things I did do was buy a shirt that said "Jesus is coming and he isn't wearing a condom."  I wore it in public.  I have also said things that have offended religious people, though I now mostly offend people online instead of in person.

And I like the ancient Greeks, who were, as a society, bisexual.  (You might have guessed that I like the ancient Greeks from my name and avatar.)  I have no problems with it philosophically, and am happy about the recent Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage in the U.S.  I have voted in favor of gay marriage whenever possible, and even donated money to the cause.

Also, though I lack gaydar myself, everyone who knows me somehow knows I am straight and not gay.  Lacking gaydar myself, I have very little concept of how it is that people tell such things, but quite a few people seem to be able to tell such things very quickly.


Anyway, if I were even a little bit interested in sex with a man, I would surely have done it when I wanted to piss on Christianity.


For a more general example, see:





I have encountered women who wish they were lesbians because there are so many asshole men.  I think that idea is not uncommon, and if they were bisexual, then, with that attitude, they would give up on men and be with women.  But they don't; the ones wishing they were lesbians are not lesbians or bisexual.  If they were bisexual, they would just be with a woman and stop "wishing."

I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body.

I think we should talk!

I don't have any gay friends. 

Er... guys, you're necroposting - reviving a long dead thread (and one which I hoped was dead  ) . And houseofcantor, you've got one here
