The Lo Zone

Food for thought. If Mark Foley felt confident that his style of life (note I didn't say lifestyle) would not have been affected if he lived as an openly gay man do you think there is a possibility that he may not have been lusting after innocent pages who were seduced by his perceived power.

The subject of this post probably wouldn't have paid for sex in secret if he could have lived openly however he chose to live.

Ever notice how the few openly-gay politicians never have a scandal associated with their names?

Now this doesn't mean to imply that all freaks and perverts have earned a "get out of jail free" card but it is worth considering.

When I was a teenager my mother gave me my first joint (no, she didn't smoke). She told told me she never wanted anyone telling her that they saw her child in the street drinking or doing drugs. If I was to drink or smoke (cigs or bud) then I should do it at home. My mother only had a high school education but her reverse psychology worked. I tried the joint (it was some good shit) but after that rarely smoked and only took a drink once. Even today I hardly ever drink -- the thrill of the sneak was removed so long ago that it lost its appeal.

But back to Lo's original point. I agree, usually it's the loadest wheel that has the most to hide.

 

"Beware the man who prays and sings the loudest in church, for he shakes hands with the celebrant on the way out of church and goes home and beats his kids and is screwing his neighbors wife, drinks himself to sleep at night and wakes in the morning to a pot of coffee and a snort of cocaine (or oxycontin)."

Read that somewhere, thought it was appropriate.

 

On the real, though, and maybe my 'gaydar' is working overtime...

Doesn't this Ted Haggard guy look highly suspicious? I mean that cheesy grin and those manic eyes? Somehow, I'm not surprised at all that he turned out to be playing for the other team...

 

g-g, I think you have your gaydar mixed up with your freakdar . . . there is definitely something freaky about his picture

 

Maybe they grew up in environments that would never be tolerant of homosexuality, and so they were so frightened of their own sexuality that they try to convince themselves otherwise by taking the most extreme opposite approach.

Sure doesn't explain the pedophilia, though, 'cause that's just wrong.

Also, I happen to think that this is pretty good evidence that being gay isn't a choice. Why would someone with so much to lose "choose" to do risk it all with a scandal like this if he wasn't attracted to men?

 

lindsey lou you make an excellent point about the choie/born argument.

Can't say I've seen you before, welcome to the Lo Zone.

 

Lindsey Lou's posted before, Juan G., although it's been awhile. Good to see you, Lindsey Lou!!

hey, fugg dat gay shit...this is THE REAL STORY HERE....mannnnnn, if my mom would have done that, shiiiit, i would have been more famous at school than rick james! "BUSTIN' OUT!!!!"

 

per cut/paste...that previous quote was from juan (about the joint)

now, if it was MY MOM....she woulda kick'd my ass for smokin' it, let alone bringing it home!!!!

ain't no reverse psychology there brudda, unless you consider an ass whuppin' a youthful fetish for BDSM!

 

There must be a lot of money involved in this as I saw him interviewed about the entire thing in his car, in front of his wife and kids! If he'd been married to a sista, they would've had to interview him from the ICU.

And to be honest, I've never blaimed the charlatans for the power they derive. This gaybait had 30 MILLION followers! So many people around this planet have such a great desire to be led, they'll hook their wagons to any cretin that exudes charisma. But honestly, when you see these people speak, like this Haggard guy, or Pat Robertson, don't the hairs on the back of your neck stand up? I guess Haggard felt he'd fucked so many others over the years, it was his turn to take it up the wazoo! Whoa!

 

And Juan and Lance,

If my mother had caught me smoking a joint she would've beat me senseless, all the while exclaiming, "OH! Hiding the good shit from me, ehhhh?"

I miss my momma.
