Yeah, well even PBS is not immune.

I'm not sure what you're watching, but Shelock has a lot of violence, and even Downton Abbey has taken a dark turn in the most recent season with brutal violence as well.

Edit: And I think it's great Modern Family has a gay couple on it as main characters instead of just as wacky neighbors. The men being idiots thing is only part of the show. The women are idiots too. It's a sitcom. They all act like clowns so you laugh at them.

Best to stick with PBS

I have friends and family members that are gay, and I don't hate them. My feeling is that when somebody's bedroom antics become a political statement I get tired of hearing it. When my nephews came home from school with pamphlets glorifying the gay life style. I went to school the next day to complain that kindergartners and first graders do not need to even know that there is such a thing as the gay life style. When I voiced my concerns to the Principle I was told that I was just uninformed and needed to become enlightened. I moved the boys to their Grandfather's place in Texas.
Gay people are a fact of life in Laguna Beach Ca. I had no problem with gays and had several gay employees, they were hard working and honest. My biggest problem with the gay agenda is that they seem to have a sense of entitlement.
I choose not to watch shows that glorify the gay life style, and I do not support gay marriage for religious reasons (but that is a topic for another time.)
I know that I am a bigot, and will probably be hated I'm sorry but I will not change my mind.

So they can grow up to beat gay men to death because they're big bad texans, hiding their "faggotry" because their uncle will whack their penis if they show even a little sign of sensitivity or compassion.

Undertoad 01-30-2014 10:24 AM

I mean it's good you disconnected cable, because basic cable is all about the homos. ESPN, for example. Ever watch college football? 22 college-age, virile, succulent asses on the screen and sometimes they even bend over. On purpose.

If someone knows they're a bigot, and refuses to change, is that better or worse than bigots who mange to convince themselves that they're not bigots?

It's not just coincidence that women are not allowed in the locker room...

Their mother who came back into their lives soon after they moved to Texas would have never allowed them to belittle or get violent with anybody, gay, straight, or in between.
Now who is the bigot.
John my youngest nephew is gay and married to his partner.

"My family member/best friend is..." is a poor defense of bigotry in the best of circumstances, but "my nephew is gay married" really has no weight after you shipped your nephews (not sure if this nephew is one of those nephews) across state lines to keep them from seeing any references to gay people, and you explicitly say you don't support gay marriage.

Quote:

John my youngest nephew is gay (and I freaked out and uprooted him [or his cousins] when he [or they] were exposed to the existence of gay people) and married to his partner (which I oppose).
Presumably, you knew your nephew was in a same-sex marriage when you posted that you opposed gay marriage. Is it OK for him, but not anyone else? Or were you presenting your bona fides on opposing gay marriage even though your own nephew is in one?

Also, I don't support Spexxvet's implication that you would train them to be violently homophobic, but your response is that their mother shortly took custody back, and she wouldn't do that...

Yeah, you didn't do yourself any favors on that question.

fargon 01-30-2014 05:37 PM

Actually I knew that he is gay for about 10 years, and married for 3 years. He got married in Hawaii I think. BTW he lives in Texas. My brother who lives in the same small town in Texas he grew up in is now called Karen. He/She does not feel entitled to anything, he works, and takes care of his house, and has a good life.

Happy Monkey 01-30-2014 05:51 PM

Is it your transgender brother who doesn't feel entitled, or your married gay nephew? What is it that they don't feel entitled to? Marriage? Being non-closeted? Being able to go out in public as Karen? Not having children whisked away if they enter a room?

quite a derailment, let's see if we can get back on track...

I'm annoyed that I didn't get Hyde Park. When I noticed Lake Shore Dr. I looked up and down that road.

gtown 01-31-2014 10:13 AM

yeah, that rainbow plane has disappeared from Google maps, probably gone to Texas...

glatt 01-31-2014 10:36 AM

I was on my phone and couldn't do Google Earth that well, so I just guessed Chicago. Which is kind of cheating, because I never actually found the location.

This most recent one is fairly hard. I'm assuming it's in its correct north-is-up orientation?

It looks like coastline with a lake or sea at the top. Slightly arid, but still gets some rain, so I'd guess it's not a tropical rainforest like around Indonesia. Away from the arctic and antarctic circles because there are trees. Not a lot of population. Looks like parts of Cuba or Mexico but I can't find a match.

gtown 01-31-2014 10:40 AM

yes, north is up and you're getting warmer/tropical. Top coastline is not a lake.

Here are your levels of difficulty.

Easy: What's the city?
Medium: From what address was this picture taken?
Medium-Hard: From what floor is this picture taken?

You may want to consult the larger view, or just enjoy it.

I will never cease to be amazed with glatt's ability in this game.


Here's how bad I am at geography: I saw an article yesterday about military movements on an Israel beach, and my first thought was, "Waithangonasecond Israel has a beach?" It's like my brain doesn't even try to remember maps, fuck 'em, it's not like they're real...

Undertoad 07-21-2014 07:15 AM

In this case he has identified J's old condo-style apartment, where she is no longer going to be living after this weekend. We watched many interesting sunsets, but sunsets are not worth the high rent. Especially when the neighborhood wasn't really completely revitalized, after they built these two tall residences. There were still shootings down the block and at one point J's car got broken into.

glatt 07-21-2014 07:47 AM

Thanks for the props, but geography knowledge had nothing to do with it. I just Googled the neon sign and used Street View to plop myself down in that spot. Then looked in the direction of where the picture had to be taken from to identify the building.

Then I looked at the photo to see the one car you can see, and I put myself in that car's spot with Street View. Notice how the car is lined up with the edge of the roof staircase access, and is also lined up with the gates on the street? I put myself in the spot of that car and looked back along those same sight lines. The high resolution version of the image was very helpful.

Undertoad 07-21-2014 05:43 PM

I was going to ask a HARD level of difficulty question which was: which month is it in this picture?

You can identify the location, so you can identify the direction of the sun at its setting horizon.
