you win (Gay Talk Post)
"This channel is for videos discussing homosexuality and related issues."

KP, i just don't feel that video qualifies. if you broaden the channel definition outside of the content, then i may as well tag every video i've posted as gay, no? i suppose you can accuse me of slippery slope, since i wouldn't dispute cultural iconography, it just seems like this particular video is an unnecessary stretch. add it back if you want, i'm finished policing.

alien_concept, the channel is for everyone, it's the content that should be relevant. i'm happy to discuss this with you. maybe you should elaborate on why you added your cheesefest post to the gay channel. why do you equate cheesiness with the word 'gay'? i reacted to it because 'cheesiness' has nothing to do with 'homosexuality and related issues'. gay might mean a plethora of things to you, but that single sentence above qualifies the type of content that should be posted.

... and none of you are as bad as blankfist... god, that guy needs a spanking.

Gee Mom....
Did you add the justification just because of me? How prescient.

sorry, i should've worded that more carefully -- the 'lighten up' part was meant to be addressed to the thread, rather than you personally. i appreciate that you and the majority of people here are supportive, so i don't want you to think i have some bone to pick with you. cheers.

hey there!
Just so you know...I wasn't even remotely telling you to lighten up at all...
I was telling you how lightly I take it myself, in fact.
I was being silly, irreverant, and non-serious.
Didn't know you would take it as anything else but.
Sorry for any misunderstandings!

I'm not questioning your subjective meaning of the word, laura, I'm questioning why this topic is in the gay CHANNEL which IS for gay (as in homosexual and related) issues, and NOT "issues of a certain vibe that some people have associated with the word gay".

Before you tell me to lighten up, take into account that this is just the latest in a huge series of things that have been mis-labelled gay, and this is one of the only times I've said something about it.

Now THIS is what I call a dangerous intersection!
That's Newton Road, near the heart of the city of Auckland. It gets very busy. The camera doesn't really do the angles justice here. It makes it seem as though it's very flat, when in fact it's quite a steep hill. The cars coming from the right side of the screen are facing downhill, with 2 lanes of cars coming towards them uphill. The right-hand lane of the uphill stream often blocks the view so you can't see what's in the left-hand lane... hence people get impatient and make 'mistakes'. It is a horrible intersection. I find the right turn onto Newton from Upper Queen Street (the road the camera is looking down) MUCH scarier, you have to look across 4 lanes of traffic in both directions.

Would be awesome if this video helped in getting something done about it.

EXTRAORDINARY Pictures of Saturn and its moons
"That dot in the center of the image is the Earth. It’s us. Cassini was nearly one billion miles from us when it took this image, orbiting a giant ball of gas as exotic and alien as any place we can imagine."
