Well have you ever been debating a subject in an Internet Blog intensely and all of a sudden your fellow debater tries for an empathy power play? This happened to me recently in an online political forum on the subject of gay and lesbian marriage when one online forum participant stated to me;

“Your increasing reasonableness earlier tonight, and just your willingness to talk and explain things, increased my respect for you. And then when you talked about your friend and gave hints about some of your own internal struggles, I felt some empathy for you and just wanted to share something with you.”

What had happened is I told her of an acquaintance who was gay who committed suicide about 20-years ago, a team mate on a sports team. But I noticed this game so I said;

“Oh dump it, I do not want empathy. I have no internal struggles, I have always had plenty of women in my life. Empathy, do I appear to weak to you, that I am in search of someone who cares? What is the deal here? Emotional manipulation turnover strategies, the death of my fellow teammate sucks but it was also 20 years ago. It was a waste totally, he was getting another 2-years full ride scholarship too, but all that is water under the bridge.”

Of course then this internal struggle BS really got me, as if suggesting I was gay or leaning that way, so I let her have a piece of my mind; “Personally I think a man sticking his member in the rectum of another man is similar to sticking it in a donut, which has been sitting in a luke warm bowl of feces for three days. Two women somehow does not seem so unnatural to me? Do not know why, just doesn’t. So, I have no problems here with any so called; “internal struggles,” look in the mirror.

Additionally what someone else does in their own time is their business not mine. I do not care. I really could care less if you all get married or not. But at the same time I know why the gay marriage thing is not coming to pass politically and it is not just because our current President has rallied the Christian Right for a stronger political base. It is because of the gay fringe and their persnickety-ness and verbal abuse and threats on heterosexuals.
