I wouldn't worry too much BGB
if chad is upset with you, it's probably because HIS SENSE OF MORAL OUTRAGE at being a WHITE HETROESEXUAL MAN is being continually pissed on by DARKIES CRIPPLES AND QUEERS.

well, how's this...
my parents are disable, 80% of my workamates are either gay, or from overseas and my wife's best mate is a sri lankan lesbian, so I don't think I'm too outraged by life.

And what I said was, if you'd bothered to read it, that rather than equality (which I believe in) which states everyone is equal and should be judged purely on their actions and interactions with you, that we have a system of positive discrimintation.

If you want an example - look at Queer Eye For the Straight Guy - good TV, right, now reverse it and you'd get protests in the street. Jo Brand can stand on stage and say men are shit all evening long and it's hilarious, yet if you had a fat ugly male comedian badmouthing women, he'd be reviled (hello, Mr Manning).

I'm not saying either is true, or "right" in its thinking, what I say is that either BOTH should be allowed and acceptable, or NEITHER should be - there should be no double standards regardless of race, creed, religion, sexuality, gender or disability. That said, I think a dwarf applying for a job as a basketball player and then suing for discrimination when they are turned down is something that should also be outlawed - there is too much "card-pulling" going on. Now we are in a situation where businesses are scared not to hire a minority candidate for fear of being sued, where the only deciding factor should be ability to fill the role, etc.

Live and let live, say I.

Hope I'm not being insulting here...
....but did you get your friends and family second hand from a late night channel 4 sitcom?

I knew a Sri Lankan lesbian once.
I wonder if it's the same one? Is there more than one Sri Lankan lesbian in the world? Does anybody know?
