Mathew Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 P.S. Jon is how to spell the toilet kind and John is how to spell the name. I take pity on the children of parents who were not aware of this. Disclaimer* I am of course saying this in good fun don't freak out it you are a toilet Jon or have birthed one.

baggio202 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I'm gonna sound off on this one because I been drinkin' rye again so I feel like peachin'. Jagg Off is a pretty common saying in small town Canada so if it was born out of Chicago then Bravo. What most likely popularized it was Joe Pesci movies. He says it all the time in movies and since mob is often a Chicago thing in movies perhaps that makes sence. You guys are kidding yourselves if you think that the gay men you come across want anything to do with you in "a relationship way". Being 15 it is likely not even certain what your sexuality will be anyhow. Elton John was married . Seriously though I think the word gay has taken to mean "lame" in most contexts used, for better or for worse. I have a question about the 10% stat that always gets thrown around, I know a few gay men and women and to my parents credit was raised to not even make any distinction between anyone. My best friend is so much the most homophobic person I know, almost paranoid, my uncle the same, it's a shame because no gay people I know would care to spend more than 3 seconds with either of them anyway. My best friend in elementary school was from a wild family of chauvanist and tough guys and what not. His uncle was married, got divorced and what not, couple years later came out of the closit to my mom who pretty much knew and we were like...... yeah and? His family pretty much disowned him so he keeps in contact with us more now(they're comming around I hope, but pretty s***ty on the guy) it is a shame that people expect a negative reaction from society towards gay. Most older gay men I know are always shocked that I don't react strangely around them, it would be a s*** like being surprized when somebody doesn't hate you without any cause. Back to the point though I do have doubts about the ten precent stat, because of 100 people I know I can guarentee less than 10 of them are gay. I like in redneck whitetrash Alberta(exactly the same as Montana for some peoples attitudes) so that would certainly encourage many to hide it but even withstanding that of the people I know not about 2% are openly gay and I just don't see the evidence that 5 times that are in the closit. Our high School of 700 would be hard pressed to find 70 homosexuals. Being a small town I can honestly say that I knew personally over 500 of those kids and didn't know 50 gays, even withstanding the many that don't want that known. So finally in a round about rye induced way I have 2 questions, What does the oft used 10% represent? and do you guys move threads and stuff here? Cause this one certainly hasn't had much WhiteSox Talk for a while. i dont really take is gospell either...i just use it because thats the most frequently quoted number and i dont know to find the real number...really not that important ...i suppose i could just use "a significant amount " or something like that in place of 10%...if its 2 - 5 or 10%..thats still a good number of people when you take into account world population.. but remember...people are wrong when they say stuff like if 10% of the population is gay then 10% of baseball or football players are gay too...thats just too simplistic..because my comeback is if thats the case then you agree that only 10% of male figure skaters are gay??...it seems that gay atletes are attracted to some sports over others so if you have a bunch in one sport you will have less in others.. same thing for populations in general...i would think if everyone in your community treated gay people who came out the way your friend was treated then anyone who was gay would get the hell out of there..or if they stayed made damn sure they put up the good ole boy image..now while there may only be 2% of the population thats gay in your area places like san fran and kew west fl, ect must have more than that..so it evens out..consider where you live football and san fran are the figure skaters im not sure what the number is..but 10%could be close..maybe its more like 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I think that was the undertone I was getting to(I hope anyways cause it was well put). That stats sometimes get thrown around carelessly and lose meaning. That's not the case here I just needed to wrap my haed around it. Cause the number is probably 10 it would not be 10% sperad evenly as concentration in certain sports, cities, groups of friends ect, are inevitable.

YASNY Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I just wanted to jump in here and that there are some VERY AWESOME people on this board. I am so impressed with what some of you wrote. Roman, You need to listen and learn from these people, they have their s*** together. Even HSC... She seems like a helluva lady to me.

Chisoxfn Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Well, I read this entire thread and I'm left very impressed with everyone who took part in it. On this board we have all different kinds of people and all different kinds of opinions, which to me makes this place so much fun. You can discuss many different things, and get view points from people with many different lifestyles. At 19, I know exactly what Roman and some of the other younger posters are talking about. Peer Pressure is definately there. Words like f** and gay or queer are said often. That being said, I also feel this generation is one of the most tolerant of any generation in the history of the world. Sure there are those that look at people and still rip them on race or who they love, etc. Those days are ending though. My thoughts have changed a bit after reading this thread. I'm not anti gay or pro gay. I do believe people can do what they want as long as they aren't hurting anyone else. Homosexuals don't hurt anyone. A friend of mine, who I had been friends with since I was 3, turned out to be gay. It was really weird at first, cause I wondered if it meant things would change. The thing is, people did support him. Heck, even I, someone who has been called homophobic supported him. I've been called homophobic, mainly because I don't understand it. I'd never harm a gay person and I would never shut them out of my life or let something like that stop me from being friends with a person. I probably will never understand it, just like I'll never understand women. Still, I don't understand why so many people are so afraid of homosexuals. They aren't criminals, they are people, many of them very good people. As far as highschool goes, its all a bunch of crap. Make sure you pick your friends because you like them and not because you feel cool with them. So many people are just friends with people because they feel cooler or something. Well, those friendships won't last. After highscool, most people, even friends, never end up spending time with eachother. Luckily, my best friends and I have always stayed close, mainly because we were always there for eachother and weren't friends because we felt cooler because of it, but because we enjoyed hanging out, etc. I used to make fun of people for stupid ass reasons, I guess that was what Middle school and highschool were about or parts of it. Then I finally realized its a bunch of crap. Everyone makes fun of everyone and what the hell does that accomplish? All it does is hurt peoples feelings and get other depressed or have low self esteem. I don't know why people have low self esteem. Those people that worry what others thing about them, will always have low self esteem because they will never be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
