Bad news for Rick Santorum: Homophobia shortens lifespan.

Ok, that's true, it's not exactly a causal relationship going on, but there does seem to be a correlation. Which is a subtle difference, but it's there.

Ummm. . . no. There's nothing subtle about it. Causation means something causes something, and correlation just means two things are found together.

To take an extreme example-- everyone who's ever drunk water has died eventually. There's a perfect 1:1 correlation there. But to say that drinking fresh water kills people would be dumb.

I'll be having a cake when that fucker drops, just like I did when Thatcher bit the dirt.

Karl Pilkington talking about house fires that have happened because a painting was in all of them...

Ricky Gervais responds by saying, "So all house fires also occur because there's a fucking sink in them as well then?"

Great stuff.

It seems like most homophobes are secretly self-loathing homosexuals. So with that kind of self-repression and self-hatred I wouldn't be surprised that you'd die younger.

That would be the Thatcher that was the most pro Jewish PM in History, who had excellent relations with Israel, represented a Jewish constituency and had a full 25% jewish representation in the cabinet would it?

I have no doubt that there are a substantial number of homophobes who are self hating homosexual but I don't think you can objectively claim that most are though I beleive the percentages increase the more liberal your environment.

If you are from Uganda or Malaysia homophobia is the norm and most people are homophobic on the other hand if you are in the liberal west where homophobia is judged by society to be a bad thing you need an active reason to be homophobic and really that is likley to be mostly down to three issues 1) You belong to a homophobic religion such as Islam or biblically literal Christianity 2) you are a bully by nature and will attack any group who are marginalised and you think you can bully with impunity (which is often the case in Russia) or 3) You are indeed a self loathing homosexual.

I , amusingly , had the opposite. My mother seemed quite disappointed that none of her sons were gay because in her line of work most men are gay and she is a bit of a fag hag. My father's entire comments on gays was " there is a lot of money in gays".

I don't know about that. I'm not secretly a teenager, an infant, a poodle, a Republican, or part of a couple with the names cutely combined.

If you think you can predict what EgoRaptor is going to say based upon what he claims to be, you're in for a surprise or three.

Homophobes seem to occupy a unique niche.
