How can you disagree with someone's sexuality?

There are limits I guess and they differ from person to person. I don't agree with paedophilia or bestiality for example, though I do not doubt for a second that it is part of some peoples sexuality and their limited preference.

To be clear, I don't disagree with homosexuality as consent is the issue with the above mentioned, it is not an issue with homosexuality.

Arguably paedophilia is a psychiatric disorder rather than a person's sexuality while bestiality and necrophilia are sexual practices rather than sexuality but I get your point.

Indeed, the same is often (incorrectly) argued about homosexuality. We just don't really know.

If that was a poll in australia, first dude would be ahead by so far it's not funny. Americans are so serious about politics.

Telstra Customer Service Or: 83 Minutes of Terror

Disconnected the home phone yesterday. But had to reconnect it. Coz apparently my ADSL interwebz won't work without it.

(Is that shit true or is Telstra just f@%king with me?)

Eh, whatever, I'll reconnect and be back shitposting on ExtremeRossFaulkner in no time.

Er, no.

Because the account is still in my 79yo Mum's name. And she had to authorise me doing anything. Which meant the Indian call centre operator having to ring her in the nursing home.

But Mum thinks every Indian with a phone is a scammer so she hung up on them.

Every. Single. Time.

Next thing I've got a milllion missed calls and voicemails and I'm dreading calling her but know I have to.

Because interwebz.

Anyway, I make the call and cop this hysterical verbal assault about Indian scammers trying to rip off her life savings.

"BITCH, PLEASE! YOU HAVEN'T GOT ANY MONEY!! F@%K!!!"

Finally got a word in. But now she's going off at me. And apparently I'm "in cahoots with the feckin Indians."

Errrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhhh...

"Yeah, I'm in cahoots with the feckin Indians. We're gonna rip you off blind. But when they call again - "
"Yera, they better not!"
"Yera, they will. Authorise me. Gimme permission. Whatever."
"Feckin arseh*le."
"Just say yes! For ****'s sake."

CLICK! She hung up on me. Shit. F@%k it, I ring Telstra again not knowing if the crazy old bitch will give me the all clear. They ring her in the nursing home again. This time, she doesn't hang up.

She authorised me and shit.

BOO-YA!!! So now we're in the reconnection home straight. Smooth sailing from here. Until they notice my monthly bill is a week overdue.

Shit.

"Yeah, I pay online. So, um, I was gonna sort it out when the internet was back up. Er, yeah."
"Let me just consult with my manager."

No need. I know what's coming. But I still hold on listening to that f@%king awful elevator music. Clinging to faint hope. Desperately.

"Hello, sir."
"Hi."
"We can reconnect your home phone - "
"Great!"
"When the outstanding amount is paid in full."

And that's when I hung up, dropped to my knees and looked up at the cracked, peeling ceiling.

Then sobbed uncontrollably.

A broken man...

Unless you have Naked DSL this is true.

I love it when people call polls to say 'don't know'.

 

[bomberclifford]

I'd like to hear how "disagreeing" with a sexuality is even a coherent concept. It sounds like disagreeing with a tree.

"My imaginary friend says a willy in the bum is wrong" is such a ridiculous line of thought that I find it astounding that it's still so common.

I find it interesting that the whole "it's not natural" brigade are almost exclusively talking about male on male sex. They're not really concerned about the 'love' side of things. Two men loving each other is cool, coz that's what Jesus did, but when it comes to the thought of dicks and balls touching, their idyllic kumbaya fairyland erupts into clouds of hellfire and brimstone.

Legit just imagined a modem with ****.

Why it pays to stay on the good side of your mother in law.

Her neighbour dropped in a Vietnamese Chicken casserole with home grown vegies. Father in law and son do not eat that "Asian crap". Also came with some fresh Vietnamese rolls. It was awesome.

What is it with some people not wanting to try different foods from different cultures?

It must be the typical aussie "old fart"

I knew an old bloke who whenever he got served up spaghetti he would say "i'm not eating that wog shit" but would end eating it anyway and his ideal meal was just lamb chops and mash potatoes.

Fringe benefits of racist relatives

 

[Papa G]

I'm against Homosexual Cuisine...... it could be why I don't really like Bananas....... But I do like Cucumber.....shit I'm so confused.

 

[68vette]

I wouldn't call them racist. Just stuck in the Aussie meat and three veg combo. They even knock back snapper and whiting when I catch it.

I have tried to get them to Shankers on Prospect Rd as they make this killer Singaporean Chilli Chicken And Honey that is to die for. No luck.

More for me.
