"their" bigotry is whose bigotry exactly? rug Oct 2015 #1

At least try to be honest brokers who don't try to pretend that a hug mitigates all that trash talk Bluenorthwest Oct 2015 #2

Ok, you answer the question. Whose bigotry is "their" bigotry? rug Oct 2015 #3

I'll answer the question Cartoonist Oct 2015 #9

"Stop being ridiculous" is hardly an answer. rug Oct 2015 #12

Deflecting again Cartoonist Oct 2015 #13

No, that's called clarification. rug Oct 2015 #14

You're wasting valuable energy, cartoonist. cleanhippie Oct 2015 #26

Their bigotry being the RCC's, and more specifically, the Vaticans. F4lconF16 Oct 2015 #5

Thanks for the clarification. rug Oct 2015 #6

"I don't put any more stock in hugs than I do in broad-brushed statements." Lordquinton Oct 2015 #10

There's as much bullshit in that remark as there is in yours. rug Oct 2015 #11

Care to expand? Lordquinton Oct 2015 #15

No. rug Oct 2015 #16

I agree Lordquinton Oct 2015 #17

Do you mean the acronym that is widely known, available with a click if not, rug Oct 2015 #18

And yet you still can't provide it Lordquinton Oct 2015 #19

I just did. rug Oct 2015 #20

But you didn't? Lordquinton Oct 2015 #21

Much as I enjoy this . . . . rug Oct 2015 #22

Ok. Lordquinton Oct 2015 #23

No it is not more inclusive... LostOne4Ever Oct 2015 #24

It is more inclusive than the one he posted. rug Oct 2015 #25

Aww, the Pope hugged a transgender guy? gcomeau Oct 2015 #27

Would it make you feel better if he spit on him? rug Oct 2015 #28

Nope, wouldn't feel better at all. Now you answer a question. gcomeau Oct 2015 #29

No, I think it's an act of grace and humanity. rug Oct 2015 #30

Then WHY DID YOU POST IT gcomeau Oct 2015 #31

Why does it upst you (caps omitted). rug Oct 2015 #32

People wasting the time of everyone in a discussion always irritates me. gcomeau Oct 2015 #33

This must explain my current irritation. rug Oct 2015 #34

Better to flee than to defend your reason for posting the link huh? gcomeau Oct 2015 #35

Lol.Well, now you've got my attention back. rug Oct 2015 #36

Sorry, that's not how this game is played. gcomeau Oct 2015 #37

ust have been the all caps. rug Oct 2015 #38

As a first impression perhaps. gcomeau Oct 2015 #39

Outweighing all the things you alleged. rug Oct 2015 #40

When exactly did we switch from talking about bigotry to "inveterate transphobia"? gcomeau Oct 2015 #41

Inveterate transphobia is bigotry. You objected to the Pope hugging an transgendered person. rug Oct 2015 #42

In the same way my thumb is a finger. gcomeau Oct 2015 #43

You are comparing transphobia to a thumb? rug Oct 2015 #44

We can continue this discussion after you go back to school... gcomeau Oct 2015 #45
