Why does it matter? Why haven't you got a sense of humour?
Why do you think it's funny?

I mentioned Clarice cliff because if you are going to have a home insemination then surely to goodness it is special occassion. And what do you do on a special occasion. That’s right.......You get the best China out. It doesn’t matter what your sexuality is.
Of course you did.

Ironic use of tired stereotypes, like the black bloke I once knew who said he wouldn't want to be white "because I'd lose my natural sense of rhythm".
I have a pet termite. His name is Clint. Clint eats wood.

Look consider the following carefully. If you or anybody is involved in a home insemination are you just going to unceremoniously “crack off and crack on. Or Are you going to crack out the Cliff or theWedgewood or Moorcroft, crack off and crack on?

Can you see the difference in the two examples?

Yes you were. Just tell us what you think the difference is, and then we can have a discussion.

  I am trying to establish what you think - do you think the two examples are the same? Unlike you I'm not mind reader.

You obviously think there's a relevant difference, so either tell us what it is, or sod off.

Think of who is making the comments in the 2 examples. I'm pretty sure you can manage it. (Now that is patronising you)

Hmmm... fair point, I suppose. However, I don't think you can accuse suppository of being a homophobe on the strength of that.

I just want to know why he used the term. I don't believe his 'explanation'.

Nor me - completely unconvincing. I don't know why he didn't admit the obvious truth.

Alright then one of you has got to speak the theory which dare not speak it's name namely what my meaning here was.

I find the idea of home insemination all pretentious ''earth mother'' and ''tree beard'' wank anyway, if you'll pardon the pun, no matter who is involved.

Now that IS prejudice. There are all sorts of good reasons. I knew a woman who used the method in an agreement with a gay couple because she was almost totally paralysed below the neck, due to spinal muscular atrophy.

I'm sure there are special circumstances that go beyond pretention.

Tree Beard ??

This part of the thread is convoluted enough without dragging Lord of the fucking Rings into it.

Plus what MR Micawber said in his last post.
Before we work on Artificial Intelligence shouldn't we address the problem of natural stupidity.

That you use lazy ignorant stereotypes because you have the sense of humour of Bernard Manning. That when picked up on it by Trent you ignore it because you are uncomfortable with your tedious backward attitudes. That when you are asked about it you decided to make a transparent lie because you are a coward.
