Okay! Then let's bring on the Retard jokes!

And a few N****r jokes while we're at it!

look familiar?

Straight couples don't exist in the same cultural context as gay couples. As unfortunate as it may be, gay couples are looking to gain legitimacy in the eyes of the public.

...and why would you feel the need to"point out something you believe I did?" You're not my Dad. And to add to my comment below.... I don't pussy foot around anyone and I don't want anyone pussy footing around me either. :) Can we just shake hands and make up and end this bullshit session already?

I didn't say I agreed with it, but that IS why....

Well, OF COURSE IT SHOULD HAVE!

Well here's my stance. If I think something is funny I will laugh. If someone feels the need to categorize my reason for laughing and find a reason to be offended by it..so be it. I won't apologize for my sense of humor or worry about offending others in the process. In my view, getting offended is a waste of time. Taking into account everyone's 'feelings" is a colossal undertaking that I don't think a room full of adults should have to meander around... but that's just me. The REAL me.

WAIT. the point should have gone to ME

although the updated article makes reference to a badly worded, dated contract, the donor's attorney has cried foul. I agree that the State seems to accept certain arrangements over others, but I would contend that if the contract was executed correctly, it would be valid, and therefore the burden would be on the State to show why it favors one contractual arrangement over the other, if all are valid.
1)not a lawyer
2)not a rational plan to get your donor from Craigslist

I laughed too, but don't tell anybody...

Of course! Why didn't I see that before?

OF COURSE everyone must get Government approval before doing... well, ANYTHING...

"proper legal means" my ass.

Oh it was taken the RIGHT way! You woman hater! (Oh..I gave you a point for it tho.... I'm SO contradicted!!)

shoot no! laugh your sausage off as long as I got a point

Because they go thru the proper legal means...not Craigslist.

Try as you might, you did no such thing. But, this horse is officially dead and no longer worth beating.

oh-the sun has come out!

your last question is a good one. and I think the answer might be yes-if she was a producer. Your first point I will have to disagree with. Hetero couples utilize artificial insemination, so why wouldn't the outcome of this case have bearing on ANY couples looking for donors? I'm going to post another article that shows judicial prejudice against single vs. married victims, and perhaps we can discuss the overlap with this post.

In the same sense that certain people on Slashdot are called "karma whores"...

But you almost have to be a member of the /. subculture to get the joke. I hope mine above isn't taken the wrong way...

I'm just pointing out the contradictions between your words and your deeds.

It's up to you to decide which is the real you.

Added later: FWIW, I've been accused -- recently -- of the same thing. It took me a while, but I finally decided that perhaps I had crossed a line... and I'm a tiny bit more careful what I say around that person (a bi woman, if it matters) now a days. I think all of us hetero people can unintentionally say hurtful things about the gay/bi folks now and then. And let's not even get started on some of the things they say about US!

There is even a certain Willie Nelson song that I've retired from my karaoke repertoire, out of respect for said woman's feelings.

So don't take it personally, please. I'm not attacking YOU, I'm pointing out something that I believe you DID.

I already did that....

Oh, don't get me started! I think I've proved that I can out-gross all of you!

:-)

Because this is some funny stuff! I don't get my knickers in a twist about that sort of thing. I don't know who my birth parents are, nor do I care to. I don't feel in any way that I am somehow owed something because of genetics. Which is why I love The Gulch!

GASP!

Judge and be prepared to be judged.

If you think someone is judging you wrongly, take issue with his premises, not the act of judgement,
