...with clickable images :) :cry: Thanks, Bananasketch. I appreciate that and apologize for letting my passion get the better of me and for misunderstanding you too. So many friendships have been forged by incidents just like this at MC over the last decade or so. You never know! No worries...

Exactly. Sensitivity to all is extremely important especially at a young age. I know too many people deeply scarred when they were young due to how others dealt with their being gay. I've certainly developed a thick skin because of it and learned tolerance along my journey. I was shamed as a...

In the words of Monty Python… “And now for something completely different!" I live in a city that much of the world paints as liberalism run amok! This native Houston, Texan used to think that too, but after spending over sixteen years of my life here I’ve found that to be an...

Woah! Take a moment! You obviously haven't digested anything I've written if that is what you have taken from it. I never "bashed" anyone except intolerant **individuals** including people who are Atheist, Christian or otherwise. To iterate - individuals - and not all of them! Yes, I’ve even...

Hmmmm...not sure if you've really been reading this... Hi! You joined about a year ago, so I don't really know who you are yet. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jamie. I'm a gay Muppet fan and one of many faithful Muppet Central members who helped build this place for over a decade...

Absolutely true! I'm also annoyed by certain Atheists posting anti-Christmas billboards just as much as the condescending ones some Christian churches post all year 'round. There's no need to be snarky or fearful of one another. Our beliefs are something that should excite us and not be...

Agreed. That's still around today! I just heard about that Harry Potter actress being shunned by her family for dating outside her religion. Freaky! Someone like me would be the devil to them. :eek:

Lovely tribute! ;) I agree. However violence is not the only way to harm a person. There is much emotional abuse by way of bigotry that some religious folk feel justified inflicting on gays through not only words and attitude, but also denial of equal protections and civil rights. Even...

The curtain was pulled back long ago to reveal that the architects of Proposition 8 were primarily elders from the Mormon and Catholic church, so that's why they get the criticism for denying equal rights for gay marriage. What they did isn't fair, but calling them on it is. However, I agree...

Just to be clear, I know many Christians. The ones who are my friends are less focussed the next life and more concerned with how they treat people in this one. As am I. :)

Amen! Those vipers preach to the choir while condescending and alienating others rather than respecting to agree to disagree or live and let be. That's what makes them toxic. Preventing two souls from getting married because they happen to be of the same sex is legislating morality and is...

I find activism to be a wonderful thing, but not when it becomes anti-social. Some people even go so far to call mankind evil. Jim Henson has two quotes that seem to apply: "If our 'message' is anything, it's a positive approach to life. That life is basically good. People are basically...

LOL on the last sentence. The rest of it, well vegans and PETA folk (not me) will tell you that the milk and dairy industries have helped to create that very problem and that just because animals produce things doesn't mean it's for us to consume just like the way that poisonous things grow...

True, and remember that we can always support our local animal rescue organizations. :super:

[like] :super: I'm just not much of a "joiner" but I do agree with a lot of PETA just like I agree with many conservative and liberal ideas. Both parties get hijacked by their fringe elements. Ultimately it's about thoughtful balance and -real- equality and respect for human beings even if...

To be a true supporter of PETA you have to follow their motto "Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment." This means a vegan diet that not only excludes eating meat, chicken or fish, but also cheese, butter, eggs, milk and honey! Think of that the next time...

Scooter should be on it. There are others, but that's the one missing that stood out. ;)

Complete agreement there. I do agree with a lot of PETA's stances, but they tend to go way too far. I'm a vegetarian, but I also love my leather jackets, belts and shoes. Everything in moderation. :)

This looks wonderful! It's too steep for me, but justifyable for the type of collectors' product. If I had lots of money - this would be on my list. :o I can no longer make fun at the Steiff plushes. While their Kermit wasn't as horrible as their initial photo, it still isn't up to this...

I'm still there: facebook.com/jamescarroll4. Mention MC and I'll friend you :)
