I'd watch the SOTU but I've been lied to enough by the current President. I'd rather just watch porn and jack off. At least then I can feel that I accomplished something.

Besides, I'd probably just start yelling "You Lie!!" at the TV screen.

Oh man, that article about Gayle Haggard makes me want to vomit. They're doing the best they can to whitewash his hypocrisy with bullshit. Now we find out that while he was in "therapy" he discovered that the reason he fucked guys was because he was abused as a child (because all gay men were molested by older men as children, or so that fucked up reasoning goes). And yes, he's a hypocrite, but "that is the human condition" and "all of us are to one degree or another a hypocrite". So who cares that he preached hatred and intolerance of gay people to tens of thousands of people, right? We're all hypocrites, so what he did was OK! Fuck that.

If you like that Manu Chao song, you should buy his first album Clandestino, it's a masterpiece. Better than his later albums, IMHO.

8 - becuz guys are more aggressive about pursuing younglings. Girls deal with this from Het men. It is now wonder that gay boys (or even het boys) deal with this from gay Men.

Women do too - just not as much and/or don't get caught/prosecuted.

People need to realize that it isn't the cause of being gay though!

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that over half the entries in this News post are justification for bringing back involuntary commitments? There are some crazy-ass fuckers walking around out there making news today.
