Merc - Wtf?

[xoxoxoBruce]

If you can't go to the ladies room without risking arrest, you're a he, if you can, you're a she. Sexual preference doesn't matter, queers are still separated into the same two bathrooms.

But but, I don't fit in either category, you say.
Then you'll have to come up with your own pronoun.

and your own bathroom.

Yes that's what college kids do, and the world is a better place for it.
The movements incited by college kids, (especially liberal arts colleges),
have forced/coerced some improvements in society and at minimum enlightenment the general public.
The ones that were successful, were, because of how the went about it,
as zeal and conviction are insufficient for winning the attention and respect of the target audience.

Where were you during the 60/70's Civil Rights/Viet Nam era ?
That sounds so much like the things the "establishment" said then...
... not the right time
... wrong attitude
... wrong way to go about it


Then further down

" ... the hate he's spewed on merc..."

Poor Merc. We hardly knew her ! She was so kind, so gentle, and unassuming, yet so abused.

I was trying to convince my parents generation that Nixon was a crook, and the war was totally wrong. Frustrating, but at least most would listen to me, and I could tell some were thinking about it.
I did more good than the hippies singing Kumbaya.

Now now, don't get all emotional about it,. merc is tough, he can take it.

I'm not sure why you've referred to Merc in the feminine Lamp. Seriously, Merc never asked anyone to call him her. That was what Ibby did and then cracked up cause some people either forgot or didn't get it or refused for various reasons. From what I recall, that was the main source of contention. Where most of the arguments began. People here were called all sorts of things for not doing as requested, the least of them being homophobic and bigoted.

In this state, I could sue any public establishment that refused me entry into the ladies' room. In practice I tend to find single-occupancy or unisex rooms because it's not arrest i risk, it's assault or murder.

Oops disproving your own point.

if ibby chooses to be a she, then so be it. i have no problem referring to her with a feminine pronoun. just one question, why should she have this right or privilige and me not have my 2nd amendment rights?

There she was just postin' in the Cellar
Sayin'', "Do wah diddy, diddy, dum you oppressor"
Pointing her finger and imposing her agenda
Sayin', "Do wah diddy, diddy, dum you transgressor"
She sounded rude, she sounded vain (Sounded rude, sounded vain)
She sounded rude, she sounded vain, and I nearly replied the same

Before I knew it she was postin' after me
Sayin', "Do wah diddy, diddy, dum you bigot"
Callin' me out just as innocent as can be
Sayin' " Do wah diddy, diddy, dum you maggot
We talked on about honor (Talked on, about honor)
We talked on about honor, then we discussed her melodrama

Whoa, oh I knew we was taken aback
Yes, I did and so I told her
All the things, I'd been holdin' back

Now we're together nearly every single day
Sayin', "Do wah diddy, diddy, dum we're all dwellars"
We're not happy; but, that's NOT how we're gonna stay
Sayin', "Do wah diddy diddy, dum we're not all fellas"
Well I'm straight, she's not (I'm straight, she's not)
I'm straight, she's not, we're never gonna tie the knot

Whoa, oh I knew we was taken aback
Yes, I did and so I told her
All the things, I'd been holdin' back

Do wah diddy, diddy, dum diddy les, we'll sing it
Do wah diddy, diddy, dum diddy gay
Do wah diddy, diddy, dum diddy bi, let me hear ya!
Do wah diddy, diddy, dum diddy trans.

Is it ok just to be a voyeur? I am not sure I have anything useful to add. I hope you all don't mind if I have a variety of emotions while viewing this thread. Must I present them?

Gift wrap 'em and we'll open them up on the 25th.
