I did, and I put it in quotes to mark it as proposed speech.<BR/><BR/>Regarding Mr/Miss Anonymous: Not MUCH to see or nothing to see? And if nothing, why the separate facilities to begin with? <BR/><BR/>But these are the types of embarrassingly obvious things you have to point out when dealing with such absurdity, hence my recommendation to stomp and move on. <BR/><BR/>And I won't recant "freaks." They qualify as freaks on two counts.(1) They're aberrations of human nature. (2) Their thinking ("Please bless and normalize us") is an aberration of human thinking. I can put up with one freakish characteristic, but two? I then paint you with the broad brush.Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07174820788066029353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11415684.post-1163171289440575012006-11-10T10:08:00.000-05:002006-11-10T10:08:00.000-05:00The actual Chesterton reference is to pornography....The actual Chesterton reference is to pornography....something that should not be argued against, but rather stamped out with one's heelKyrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885106712181408383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11415684.post-1163170433403493902006-11-10T09:53:00.000-05:002006-11-10T09:53:00.000-05:00Good grief, I think "freaks" is putting it mildly....Good grief, I think "freaks" is putting it mildly. Besides which, stamping something out with your heel -- what GKC advocated -- cannot mean walking softly around people's misguided feelings if the thing in question is an abomination.<BR/><BR/>One could hardly be a Roman Catholic and think otherwise, though the bile rises in my throat just imagining what some of our more progressive Bishops might say on the subject.<BR/><BR/>Let us remember that every lifestyle "option" begins as a choice and ends as a part of the public school curriculum, forced on parents and taxpayers without any concern for their "feelings" or their wallet.<BR/><BR/>anonymous wrote:<BR/><BR/>"To answer your question, Eric, yes, you can declare yourself a woman and hang out in the women's bathroom.

What happened was that I forgot that I was on Chesterton and Friends and addressed Eric by another 'blogger's name! :S<BR/><BR/>What I wrote was:<BR/><BR/>Eric, the word "freaks" appears in quotation marks in your post. Is this because Uncle Gilbert actually used the word or is it your own style? Also, would you please let me know the context of his advice that some things just cannot be argued with? I'd be very interested.
