So?  As long as one doesn't go around being deliberately offensive, it's all good.  As far as being easily countered, that just makes one bad at rhetoric, not unsuitable for staff.  Tongue

My advice is to get stoned/drunk as much as possible. Big Grin

I've never tested my skin. I get around it by letting things roll off and keeping things in perspective. Big Grin

I can never really decide if I'm a "fuck 'em" or an all-inclusive-kumbaya type. Grams calls me a mugwump.

Anyhow, back to giving Steel the well-deserved beejes.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Tried that. Different, but marginally successful. I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
