I'm so sick of attempts at these threads, and their brethren. Anyone else want to suggest their least favorite thread titles and why these debates aren't bloody well doing anything to further the Kingdom, and probably also stand out as major reasons why non-Christians are repelled by Christians, and why certain members of the fold can't seem to f'ing shut up about them nonetheless?
Rants accepted.

Oh drat, Laura! Don't tease me like that! I have been dying to find out whether heterosexuals who indulge in sodomy are also going to Hell. Do you remember that nice young man on TnT last year, the cured homosexual? I wanted to know if it was ok for his wife to bugger him with a strap-on, (marriage sanctifies everything and all that...) sadly he fled. Probably couldn't get down to the porno shop quickly enough.
Still. At least I know what to say now to get them to leave.

Milkman of Human Kindness - , oh sorry - I enjoyed the teenage Russian lesbian quip.
But if I am as clueless as you think, it is about this: just why are you, as you say, so hostile? The only reason I can fathom is that you're ornery as we say here in Texas (a trait I admittedly share).

For those who care, Dan Savage held a contest in his sex advice column Savage Love for this specific practice, and the term which won was "pegging."
My own favourite Please Stop The Insanity Now thread, which I think covers most of the applications here, would be:
Why People Who Disagree With Me Are Not Only Incorrect, But Immoral
I.e., no one can actually just be wrong, they have to be willfully wrong. They can't just be honestly in error. Very little pisses me off (and brings in my own defend-the-underdog reactions) more than accusations of intellectual dishonesty -- not just against me but in general. And not if someone asks, "Do you really mean that? I can't imagine someone sincerely holding that position?" which is different -- I mean passive-aggressive, snidely implied accusations of intellectual dishonesty. ![[Mad]](angryfire.gif)
