Same-sex marriage banned in North Carolina.... what posters are affected????????

[shari91]

I think there is a little bit of a double standard. How many times does rogue scholar have to post about having sex with me before it becomes disgusting and creepy? My posts are responses to that disgusting sexual harassment.

I understand your initial complaint.

But then when I look at the # of posts you've made under each of your usernames vs the # of posts he's made under his one - EVER - I can't back you up darling. Guy rarely posts. He posts when provoked or sees something about a book or SBR's Admin/Mods that he feels he should add - so no, he's not always posting about sex.

He's not the problem.

If some stranger's words online bothers you - a guy who joined more than 5 years ago and yet has less posts than you - I truly suggest you just chill out. He's playing up to what some here expect him to be. Everyone from John all the way down to lowly Shari appreciates him being here even when he's being a snit. Guy is a legend and always will be. Under one name - owning who he is, even when others treated him like dirt. Pretty good lesson to learn, no?

You changed the scope of our discussion. I have no problem with him being allowed to post that disgusting sex stuff as long as I'm allowed to respond to it appropriately. Which I did.

As for posting and respect and all that, this is a gambling forum. Im making people money now with unders, he makes people vomit with his homo insinuations. Lol

shari once again using her mod position and the insights it gives to batter a poster she disagrees with by using innuendo.

either do your job as a professional or just be a reg poster , shari

.... Didn't want to say anything. I enjoy posting here and don't want her to ban me but she takes sides far too often. If my posts in this thread are over the top then certainly so are his.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

I will bend to Shari on this issue though. The reality is that no one on this forum should even know someone else's sexuality. Why was it discussed at all?

Dumb topic. Sports are more fun to discuss.

You've been racking up posts on Homosexuality the past week.
You don't have to read anything about homosexuality, but you chose to open up this thread and feel the need of discussing it.

Don't act like a homophobe and maybe the "homo's" won't hit on you.

Yes Sam... because I'm the one posting tired newspaper headlines (you realise newspapers are dead, right) about politics constantly. Actually tell me when I've threatened anyone's stay here. Get fukked with your crap. And I guess I've also threatened PWAD's stay here under any of his 9 user names? Again: Sort your shit out pal. I'm not the woman to mess with when your own backyard is disgraceful. SBR = SPORTSBOOK REVIEW FORUM. Some of you need to focus on that.

And thank you!!! This is why I know you and I could sit for hours watching a game (I'd auto root against whomever you liked) but we could drink and have a good time. Sexuality means shit. It should mean shit. Don't lower yourself to those to whom it remains their last bullet. It not only makes them sad but it doesn't hurt those to whom it's intended to hurt. It's like hating me because of the colour of my eyes. F them. Most of you are all so better than the stupid words (including myself) say.

If Sam Odom is breaking SBR rules then do what a mod should do... If not... STFU

I have my opinions and you yours

This sounds like a date. Let's do it. I'm looking for a more mature girl after my last relationship. I'd like to be able to comment on a girl's facebook page without a girl going bat shit crazy and acting like I"m cheating on her.

The whole point is pal, I never bothered with you until you posted something towards me just now. All these years and you simply didn't rate. So there's nothing for a 'mod' to do. You're just there.

So yeah, keep on, carry on. The 3 people who view the nonsense you write, I'm sure will really be grateful. GL.

[Sam Odom]

PWAD , 9 user names - WTF

[Sam Odom]

maybe all 3 are just PWAD

[chilidog]

Explain something to me, because I just can't seem to grasp it.

What right does an adult have to tell another adult what they can and can not do, as long as it does not impede anybody else's rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?

[PickWinnerAllDay]

maybe all 3 are just PWAD

I've never had 2 names at once. I'm surprised I've had 9 names if that is true. I was thinking like 6 but won't question the number. Most of those were banned instantaneously (same day)

Just so confused... Obama's big ticketwas requiring everyone to have health care... that is invading more people's liberties than banning homosexual marriage....

Anyone who voted for Obama really can't say anything about Republicans and telling others what they can and can not do.

99999999!

pwad explain yourself

Yeah, I know. Everybody seems to have an opinion on what people should and shouldn't be allowed to do, but really, what does it matter? If my next-door neighbor is in his house right now, banging some other guy, railing lines of blow and betting on sports, it's not affecting me whatsoever, so what right do I have to tell him that he can't?

I don't have one, and neither does anybody else. We sure love to think that we're that special and powerful, though.

[showtiime]

i feel tricked

this is kinda disheartening

So due to the fact that we have fewer civil liberties now than we used to, we should not fight to increase civil liberties?

Shari, you left me speechless with this one. How funny that with others in this thread trying to deride you for how you approach people here, I find myself taken aback by how you've always treated me better than I deserved.

You're one of a kind, and not just as a Mod on a gambling forum.

I will bend to Shari on this issue though. The reality is that no one on this forum should even know someone else's sexuality. Why was it discussed at all?

Dumb topic. Sports are more fun to discuss.

Then why are you always the most vocal contributor to the off-topic threads that stray into discussions of a sexual nature?

Let me give you a piece of the education that you're so obviously lacking. We live in a heterosexist society, and it is orders of magnitude worse on anonymous communications media like SBR than it is in real life. You, in fact, are the paragon of the heterosexist: someone who professes the discriminatory assumption that all people are attracted to members of the opposite sex. This bias is your way (and society's) of justifying your substandard treatment of anyone who challenges you by openly espousing a different sexual preference.

The LGBT community has been around for just as long as humanity itself has, and yet it's only in the most recent decades that we've emerged from the shadows and received some representation in mainstream media. Straight people don't even think about how much they advertise their sexuality when they do simple things like setup a picture of a spouse at their work desk or greet their significant other with a kiss in public. I assure you that GLBT people notice every little event like this, because from the time we recognize that we don't fit into that most basic of assumptions, we have to worry about the response we might encounter if we tried to display pictures or kiss our loved ones like that. In this wider view of gay/straight relations, your little homophobic diatribes here don't even register on the seismograph.

You're right when you accuse me of making a point of showcasing my sexuality here, as is Shari when she notices that I play into certain stereotypes with my posts. In the course of daily life, it's much more problematic to be so vocal to absolutely everyone I deal with that I'm gay. They all know and I don't tolerate any discrimination based on it, but in realizing that I'm part of a minority, I have no choice but to tone down my inner queen. We all have our responsibilities in real life that demand compromise, but what would be my excuse here?

Above I referenced the very recent inclusion of LGBT characters and themes into mainstream media. That has such a profound impact on my quality of life that I feel a very serious obligation to do everything I can to take it to the next level (total acceptance and the extermination of any negative stigma for LGBT people) for those that come after me. One way I do this is by refusing to take the easy road and just try to fit in here.

As a sports bettor, I have every right to be here just like the rest of you, but unlike many of you I don't have the luxury of just checking the truths of my reality at the login screen. I'm trying to live as though the next generation of LGBT youth were all my children, and I battle these anachronistic attitudes like your own in the hopes that they won't have to. The scariest part, especially for your side PWAD, is that it totally works. When I first came to SBR, every gay reference I would make on the forum would draw 20-30 posters expressing their disgust and hatred of me. Five years hence, I can't remember the last time I saw one of them bother trying to attack me for being gay here (unless you're one of them, and if so, the fact that you had to abandon your old handle is proof-positive that I already won).

So by all means, go ahead with your crusade to save the forum from homosexual influences like myself. You see, you're not even the real enemy in this crusade; people who are small in the mind and in the heart will always be around and easy to expose for what they are. The real victories in this fight come when decent folk who just happened to be raised around intolerance of gays think about posting something mean to a gay person, but after seeing you get your ass kicked repeatedly, decide that it's not worth the trouble to express it. That's how societies evolve and grow, and really I should thank you for being such an easy target in this crusade.

You're probably here just to blow off steam and get away with saying things that you wouldn't dare say in real life. I'm here to actively make the world a better reflection of the awesome, unrealized potential I see in humanity. Who do you really think is going to win here?

You make a lot of dramatic assumptions here. I dont' care if you're here. As I've said, my only, and I stress ONLY problem with homosexuals is the fact they try to talk about it constantly. I honestly just don't care. I said previously I deleted a homosexual from my friends list on facebook, not because it offended me, but because I got sick of seeing a status update from them every 2-3 days talking about their homosexuality. If they are that limited of a person that homosexuality is all they have to talk about, then why bother reading anything they want to say.

As for the rest of the nonsense you said, it is just not true. Not about me and not about society in general. You say you are glad your community is represented in media, I say it is just another tragedy that a TV executive has to analyze the percent of homosexuals they have portrayed in their programming just so people like you don't whine and threaten to sue over absolutely nothing.

As for whether you 'have the right' to be here... that remains to be seen. I've seen 25 posts from you on this forum and all 25 of them talk about your homosexuality.

If you analyze my 5500 posts, you'll see 5300 of them talk about sports in some form or fashion. Maybe 200 or so about homosexuality in this thread and the other one. So who is the obsessed one again? Look at the percentages, if you are capable.

It all comes from people not comfortable in their own skin and that is how they cope with their own fukked up issues.......By bitching about others' way of life. Very sad.

How do people on SBR support a government or party that wants to limit their sports betting online? Something so small and simple as that needs to be shut down, why??? I just don't fukkin get it man.....

Very annoying that libertarians don't get the same platform as republicans and democrats......I think this country would be infinitely better but the masses are just ignorant, period.

I understand why the US doesn't want cash flowing out of the country to online gambling sites.

They just haven't handled it well as far as getting it set up for us to gamble online with Vegas sportsbooks. That would be the ideal scenario, but there are a lot of people who are blocking that kind of thing.

Sorry but when I see just about every other civilized country most similar to the US (Canada, England, etc) have all these freedoms and lax attitudes about personal life issues it pisses me off that the United States still lags behind and even worse, many Americans don't want to see any progress in this area

Its not just sports betting online but many other issues

I know it's easy to tell people like me to just move out of the US if we don't like it, but I like 95% of what the United States has to offer

No reason why we can't "get with the times", Atleast with social issues when you look at other comparative countries
