I still would be discussed

Whoops LOL, when I said "discussed" in my post above, I meant "Disgusted". Freudian slip maybe? A little too quick with the spell checker can be dangerous.

 

[bundtboy]

disgusted

That's exactly what I am.

Seems like all a lot of you fellas want to talk about is tragedy and embarrassing other people. Hypothesising and conjecturing about things that are really none of our business.

This is too far off topic, and I think maybe if you want to start a political rant website, that maybe you should, but to put this kind of crap into our vintage machine club is out of line.

And again, it is so typical for many of you to be posting under these circumstances but never have a decent thing to say otherwise.

Yes - Gay people are their own worst enemies.

Now could we please mind our own business and get back to restoring vintage machinery? Mixers, blendors, whatever, but not other peoples personal business? Huh?

Re: What I want to know is:

I don't think this was suppose to be a "Glamour Shot" picture!
This is very ricky behavior, but I think for some of these men, it is the very thought they might get caught or being watch that excites them. As my mother would have said, men think with the head betwen their legs, not the head between their ears! Why don't they put a large notice in this Mens
room that states "your behavior is being watch by the undercover police"? Would this be good deterrent?

Methinks the "No loitering, under penalty of law" signs suffice, and in and of itself speaks volumes.

I think beyond the senator being "out of season" at his age, the older get desperate and forget (how to) to be discreet and how to take "NO" for an answer. You can be reasonably sure he was not in there for 5 minutes or less.

Speaking of denial, a friend of mine saw himself on TV (Sitting next to his partner) and asked out loud who was the "OLD MAN" next to his partner. It was HIM. Accurate self-image seems to fade as one matures as well. Hell, I still try to believe I'm fabulous-looking depsite all evidence to the contrary.

(ducks and runs).

What New Yorkers know about Rudy....

Wow- How exciting! America's mayor is trailing in his home state! Fact is, New Yorkers know Rudy for the arrogant,self serving,philanderer that he is..

Now it is time for the rest of America to catch on..

New York: Clinton Dominates Giuliani

Tuesday, August 28, 2007

In a race between two New York politicians, New York voters stay with the party line and prefer Hillary Clinton over Rudy Giuliani by a twenty-five point margin, 58% to 33%.

The former first lady is viewed favorably by 68% of New York voters, while America’s Mayor is viewed favorably by 47%.

Voters are a lot tougher when grading the job performance of President Bush. Just 26% of Empire State voters say the President is doing a good or an excellent job while 61% say he is doing a poor job. Governor Elliot Spitzer earns good or excellent reviews from 45% and poor marks from 17%.

Clinton has consistently led all Democrats in the top Presidential Tracking Polls. Giuliani has held a less comfortable lead on the Republican side. It’s becoming more and more clear that reporters have been missing what matters in the race for the GOP nomination.

The survey also found that just 36% of New Yorkers want Michael Bloomberg to run for President but 57% think it would be good for the state if the next President comes from New York.

Thirty-eight percent (38%) name the War on Terror as the top issue of Election 2008 while 23% name the economy. Democrats are evenly divided between the two while Republicans overwhelmingly see the War on Terror as more important.

New York voters narrowly prefer Clinton over Giuliani when it comes to handling the War on Terror, and unaffiliated voters being more comfortable with Clinton.

On state issues, just 25% say that state and local political leaders are doing a good or excellent job with the state’s bridges and infrastructure issues.

The survey was conducted in partnership with Fox Television Stations, Inc.


In Primary Polls, Clinton leads all Democrats in New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Florida.

The Republican Primary picture is more muddled. Romney leads in New Hampshire, Thompson leads in South Carolina, and Giuliani is on top in Florida.

Bob, I think it is our business - he's an elected official, a public figure, and now a proven hypocrite. This crap affects all of us, gay, straight or otherwise, whether anyone cares to admit that or not. As far as embarrassing other people, he embarrassed himself, and his family, and the people he serves. No one did it for him.

 

[~sudsshane]

Bob~

if this thread botheres you so much,Why bother responding?

Secondly, I don't agree that ALL gay people are their worst enemy. There are MANY gay men and women who lead,happy, fulfilling and functional lives..I, being one of them.

 

[bundtboy]

happy fulfilling and functional

I think that's all a matter of perspective. I think mine is too, but I'm sure opinions vary.

What I'm saying is, why do people get so excited over things over which they have no control? Isn't this really personal?

And Shane - you're a perfect example. You're quick to jump on me for not having a popular opinion, but very slow to say, gee - what lovely cakes, or cool turntables, or whatever.

That's EXACTLY my point. Quit being such drama queens and get on with supporting your fellow collectors on a positive note.

Thanks for shitting right on me, again.

Bob

 

[neptunebob]

So are we allowed to talk about Presidential candidates at all? I mentioned my favorite, D_______ K_________ once and the thread disappeared. I also don't like the way he gets the networks treat him, with ABC giving him the Joan Crawford treatment.

I wonder what Senator Craig said to the officers in the police car on the way to the police station. When George Michael said "Don't you remember me, I'm with WHAM!" I don't think they even remembered.

Also, the Enquirer article at the time was titled "Zip Me Up Before You GoGo"!

I love your bundt cakes..=)

 

[bundtboy]

just deserves

I think it's 'just deserves' too..and not just desserts.

But what do I know.
I'm just a hot head.

I think your right Bob, just because I can program computers doesn't mean I can speak english properly

Neal calls me his "foreign exchange student" sometimes when I mix up words or phrases.

 

[bundtboy]

you're right

and how completely typical of you, Robert, to have only quoted me on on my weakest point, and completely glaze over or ignore what I was trying to say in the first place. You've done this nearly everytime I've posted as bundtboy - like when I suggested a variable speed strobe light in the super unimatic and you just completely ignored that or the cabinet dryer suggestion.

Your right is not the same as you're right. or Yore, right?

It's all good, Robert. You're a genius and we all love you regardless if you do tend to be a bit of a drama promoter. Takes one to know one I guess.

[andrewinorlando]

Seriously Bob, if you think this is a personal issue, you're certainly entitled to feel that way. But this man is still a public figure, elected by the public to serve the public. If people don't speak up and demand accountability of our administrators, then the whole thing gets swept under the rug, just like most closet cases would like it to be. And that is completely unacceptable to me as a voter. If we don't hold leaders accountable for their actions, we're in big trouble. And that will never happen if we view their actions, whether in the line of duty, or in a public restroom, as a private matter. The people who elected him deserve to know who he is and what exactly he stands for. I agree, it's done and over with, and there's probably no point in beating a dead horse, but if you've ever been of victim of anti-gay discrimination, this stuff really hits a nerve big time.

Being gay is just a small part of my life. I just won't let it be much more than that. I do have some gay friends, but do not spend much time with them. Gay is not an issue with the people that I spend time with. In fact, it is almost as though "gay" is forgotten. If "gay" comes into the conversation, I do say that I am a gay man. The topic seldom comes up in conversation though. I am sure they all know. They just don't care. I am cool with that.

I would have to say that anyone who is gay has to have a few "battle scars" from the past. It just happens to us, and we all have them. That is too bad, but is is a fact. It is how we deal with them that matters. Some are better at dealing with them than others. But the scars are still always there to remind us, and they do affect who we are from time to time.

Shane - I'm still waiting for my piece...of cake, that is.

Bob you're (see I got it right that time) being way too sensitive, (granted that is one of the reason why I like you) if you read my posts you will see that I don't respond to a lot of things from everyone, it’s not just you. That's not because I choose to ignore them or think they are silly, believe me I think about it, it's just my short attention span mind traveling at warp speed and I'm already onto something else. So please do not take that personally. And as for the subject matter of this particular thread, no I didn’t glaze over what you were trying to say in the first place, sometimes (not always) when I don’t agree I find its best for me not to say anything.

And yes a little, controlled Drama does go a long way to keep everyone happy. There is a reason why we have millions of hits a month and the bandwidth is growing a breakneck speed.

I got a good chuckle from what most of the people here had to say. But once again one has to whine again. I dont need an email from you and you know who you are laden with the F word and such. I have said it before and I will say it again...if you dont like a thread dont read it or read it and dont post if your going to complain about what has been said. I could go on but its not worth the keystrokes.
On another note...Toggles...you wouldnt faint if that cop took out his "weapon"...you would be on it!
