DDD and Mike, make sure you keep on topic and realize who brings up what in the posts. I'm talking about the homosexuals creating "their own area in each city where others views aren't tolerated." Mike thinks homosexuals increase property values. I haven't seen that but I'm certain it isn't the case in my neighborhood...at least since I've been there. If you want to argue with me or make comments about my life or my car (DDD) at least read a little so I can understand your point without putting myself in the stupidest mindframe possible so I can use my empathic powers on your posts.

You claim persecution K-dog, but I don't believe it. Not for one lousy second.

I bet you anything I could buy your house (assuming that suddenly my salary quintuples of course, who can afford anything you can afford?) and after a year I would be very puzzled about this supposed persecution.
I don't claim persecution. I claim an effort to silence. For example, signs supporting candidates who don't have the proper "position" torn from my yard and thrown through my window.

What about a brick through your window that says "Burn in Hell."

Listen, K Dog, if you insisit on organizing this dance, you are going to have to expect this kind of stuff.

Just like Lebowski's signs in the middle of Utah County?

What's your point?

I borrowed a car from a friend in SLC on my way to a BYU game in Provo. As I was driving in Provo, I noticed that many people were glaring at me when I was stopped. I thought maybe it was my imagination. And there are many legitimate reasons to glare at me. But later, I realized that the car I had borrowed had a bumper sticker opposing the anti-gay marriage amendment.

Were those folks in Provo trying to create an anti-gay-friendly zone?

It's a f&*#ing war, and you're upset that the guys who are outnumbered 100-1 want an enclave?

To K-Dog, Mike, and K-Dog's de-badged car:

I apologize to all 3 of you. My comments were rash and not on topic.

After re-reading the thread, I realize that what I meant to say is: one of you is a homophobe, one of you is a neophyte, and one of you sells for under $45K!

Your friend,

DDD

Is your implication that because worse things happened to someone it negates the fact that they are acting inappropriately in creating a political environment that stifles free speech? If you're not, I don't know what you're trying to say with the dancing and brick stuff.

Actually Mike, unlike you, I don't want it to be a fucking war. I want it to be a lot easier than that. People like you on both sides are the problem. Not people like me.

You've extrapolated from one sign to an entire movement. Nice. What would happen if a Mexican kicked your dog? Or a black scraped your door in a parking lot?

Look, K-dog. The sooner you realize Mike takes the minority side of everything and then aggressively argues for it, often without knowing what he's talking about, the sooner you'll be happy here.

My implication is this: Dont complain about being persecuted while living in a neighborhood called "Marmalade" UNLESS you have walked a mile in Kevin Bacon's shoes. If you think it is tough in SLC, try living down by the Lehi Rollermills.
